[Mono-dev] moq3 and ninject2 compatibility

[Bas Smit]

Hi guys,

Im working on moq3 and ninject2 compatibility. For moq3 there are currently
two bugs holding me back (one more failing test case, I'll get to that one
soon):

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=480819
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=480807

However with ninject its a bit trickier. It has has a bunch of tests to
check the dispose code (example below). For this purpose we need a way to
force disposing of unused objects. Currently the tests use GC.Collect() for
that, however on mono that doesnt necessarily mean that unused objects are
disposed of. Is there a way to force the GC to dispose of all unused
objects? Any thoughts?

Regards, Bas


Here is an example of such a (xunit) test:

[Fact]
public void InstancesActivatedWithinScopeA
reDeactivatedAfterThreadIsGarbageCollectedAndCacheIsPruned()
{
    kernel.Bind<NotifiesWhenDisposed>().ToSelf().InThreadScope();
    var cache = kernel.Components.Get<ICache>();

    NotifiesWhenDisposed instance = null;

    ThreadStart callback = () => instance =
kernel.Get<NotifiesWhenDisposed>();

    var thread = new Thread(callback);

    thread.Start();
    thread.Join();

    thread = null;

    GC.Collect();
    GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();

    cache.Prune();

    instance.ShouldNotBeNull();
    instance.IsDisposed.ShouldBeTrue();
}
