Hello,

thank you for the answer. Now, I try to execute the trampoline code
before executing the assembly. "Normal" call instructions work but
I have two questions concerning calls through vtables [1],[2].

1. Do "mono_method_get_imt_slot()" and "mono_method_get_vtable_index()"
    calculate the IMT and VTable slot number for a given method at
    JIT-compile time, respectively? Or there are other methods that
    do the job (maybe at runtime)?

2. Which method determines the method handle for a given method which
    is expected on the stack by "mono_magic_trampoline()" in case of
    calls through vtables? Or it's simply the pointer to the struct
    MonoMethod?


With kind regards,
Martin Däumler
