[MonoDevelop] Generics in CC

[Matej Urbas]

Hi

I've been away for a while, but here I am again.

While I'm still trying to make generics support for CC, I have not 
progressed very far. I have not been able to make the (de)serialization 
process work... I need some help from professionals here.

After changing the BaseTypes attribute into a ReturnTypeList (in 
AbstractClass), and after making all the changes needed in Persistent* 
classes, I have broken quite some things.

I have tested the changes on the Monodevelop project (Monodevelop.mds) - 
where I have manually deleted the .pidb files (I don't know if that's 
the right way of testing it either :D).


The problem I'm experiencing is that the serialization process doesn't 
work well (not at all). I'm getting a lot of these (when code completion 
is triggered in an editor):

ERROR MonoDevelop.Core.ILoggingService [(null)] -

in <0x0016c> MonoDevelop.Projects.Parser.ParserDatabase:UpdateFile

System.String fileContent)

It would be nice if anyone with experience could only examine my changes 
and point me into the right direction. I'm still trying to figure it out 
on my own, though ;)

The patches are attached, please take a look.

Bye
