[Mono-dev] I am using the embedded API on mono 4.8 macOS and mono_class_get_namespace(MonoClass *) is returning nil for nested classes. Does anyone recall if this was ever reported?

[Jonathan Mitchell]

I have been thinking about this and it sort of makes sense that the namespace is NULL.

If I have a type like so:

A.B.C.D.FpsReader+FpsEmployee

mono_class_get_name(monoClass) returns “FpsEmployee”

To supply a value from mono_class_get_namespace() - which could not logically include the container class name as it is not part of the namespace - could give the impression that the FQ classname was A.B.C.D.FpsEmployee.

There is MonoClass* mono_class_get_nesting_type (MonoClass *klass) available to navigate the nested type hierarchy
