[Mono-list] Modification of basic libraries

[Alex.Villazon@cui.unige.ch]

Hi all,

   Is it possible to use PEToolkit to implement a tool that modifies the mono 
core libs? and use the modified libs afterwards?

   We implemented a tool in java that modifies all the jdk classes (rt.jar) and 
write a modified rt.jar. This modified version can be used in the JVM (using 
the -Xbootclasspath option) and run standard java programs.
  
   For example, we were able to add a new attribute to java.lang.Thread class 
in our modified version of the jdk classes.

   Is there an equivalent to rt.jar in mono? (corlib.dll ?)

   Is there an equivalent to -Xbootclasspath in mono?

   I we can implement such tool in C#, can we modify other implementations of 
the corlibs (e.g. by Microsoft)?

   Thanks for any hint

Alex
