[Mono-dev] Embeded : NullReferenceException not raised when using managed null objects on Windows

[Damien]

Hi,

I am using Windows 7 x86, Visual Studio 2008, Mono 2.6.1 embeded (installed
from windows setup).

When I should have a NullReferenceException (bug in code), a managed
NullReference is not thrown, but a native error occurs (Access violation,
memory 0x00000000).

Here is the calling C++ code :
MonoObject* CMonoHelpers::MONO_CALL(void* target, MonoMethod* methodHandle,
void** args)
{
    MonoObject* exception = NULL;
    MonoObject* ret = mono_runtime_invoke(methodHandle, target, args,
&exception);
    if(exception)
    {
        mono_print_unhandled_exception(exception);
        return NULL;
    }
    else
    {
        return ret;
    }
};

Here is the C# called code :

        internal bool Init()
        {
            try
            {
                object o = null;
                Console.WriteLine(o.ToString());
            }
            catch (NullReferenceException ex)
            {
                //error handling
            }
        }

On linux Ubuntu x86 Mono 2.4.2.3, the NullReference is thrown and caught...

Can someone see if he has the same behavior ?

Thanks

Damien
