[Mono-dev] Mono-2.8.2 Cross Compiled for ARM processor (Interesting issue with Generics)

[Sean Hubbell]

Given the following example, could someone confirm if this is an issue or
just my misunderstanding of the methods?

The below is Mono 2.8.2 Cross Compiled for an ARM processor. The issue comes
up when I would like to do a couple of things with generics:

   public static bool AreEqual<T>(IEnumerable<T> one, IEnumerable<T> two)
        {
            bool isEquatable =
typeof(IEquatable<T>).IsAssignableFrom(typeof(T)); // Works: true if generic
supports the IEquatable<T> interface.


            bool isEquatable = type.IsInstanceOfType(typeof(IEquatable<T>));
// Does not work: will always return false.

        }

I have another one where we implemented a Predicate<T> and this does not
work as a method but does work when I inline the code if anyone is intersted
in that as well.

Thanks.
