[Mono-dev] NRE when using pointers on armhf

[Slide]

I am trying to compile and use the ZeroC Ice remoting library for armhf to
run on my RaPi 2. The compilation goes fine, but when running the test
suite I am getting a NullReferenceException on the pointer assignment in
the following code:

fixed(byte* p = &_bytes[_position])
{
    *((float*)p) = _valBytes.floatVal; // exception here
}

This same code works on x86_64, so I am assuming there is something that is
missing in the armhf implementation.

Is there something I can do to debug what might be missing and provide a
patch? I've never done work on the mono runtime itself.

Thanks,

slide
