[Mono-list] class-status and ECMA-status

[Piers Haken]

Yes this would be nice, unfortunately I don't know of any existing
implementation of the ECMA standard. Microsoft's .NET is not fully
compliant - there was a file somewhere that described the difference,
but I can't find it now. The tool that generates the class-status pages
uses reflection on a pair of assemblies to compare the types. Without a
set of ECMA assemblies there's no easy way to do this.

I believe that mono is heading more for .NET compatibility than ECMA
compliance. I'm sure that the ECMA standard will be modified eventually
to 'conform' to the .NET 'standard' ;-)

Hi.

Just wondering if there is a good way to find out the "ECMA-status" of a
class in mono / .NET Framework?

In principle there are three (overlapping) sets of classes mono-classes,
MS-classes, and ECMA-classes. In any case it would be interesting to
know if a certain class is in a particular set, and also how close to
"full ECMA"-status the mono implementation is (having implemented all
classes from the ECMA-set). Perhaps that can be included in the class
status page somehow?
