[Mono-list] Problem with DateTime class from C code

[Fede]

Robert, thank you again for your answer!

Ok, here's my code, I've tested it on Mono 2.6.4 Linux x86_64 (Fedora 13)
and on Mono 2.8 Windows XP 32bit (replacing g_free() with a mono_free()
call):

#include <mono/jit/jit.h>
#include <mono/metadata/object.h>
#include <mono/metadata/environment.h>
#include <mono/metadata/assembly.h>
#include <mono/metadata/debug-helpers.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <glib.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
        MonoDomain *domain;
        MonoClass *class;
        MonoObject *object;
        MonoMethod *method;
        MonoString *string;
        char *pointer;

        domain = mono_jit_init (argv[0]);

        class = mono_class_from_name(mono_get_corlib(), "System",
"DateTime");
        object = mono_object_new(domain, class);
        method = mono_class_get_method_from_name(class, "ToString", 0);
        string = (MonoString*)mono_runtime_invoke(method, object, NULL,
NULL);
        pointer = mono_string_to_utf8(string);
        printf("%s\n", pointer);
        g_free(pointer);

        mono_jit_cleanup (domain);
}

As you said, sometimes I get the correct string, but if you execute it many
times you'll see it returning different strings (in my case ranging from
"1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM" to "1/1/0001 12:00:03 AM").

Thank you in advance,


Federico Omoto
