Re: [Ikvm-developers] IKVM with Mono Linker

[Jeroen F. <je...@su...>]

The type really is there. I just looked it up again (in the IKVM.OpenJDK.SwingAWT.dll from ikvmbin-0.42.0.4.zip) using ildasm.

I didn't mean modreq/modopt, but the various custom attributes that the ikvm runtime uses to finds its way around the generated code.

As an example, suppose the Mono linker decides that an interface that a type implements is never used and removes it (I don't know if it can actually do this), then the corresponding IKVM.Attributes.ImplementsAttribute will still contain the name of that interface, if then at runtime some code reflects against that type, you'll probably get a weird exception because the ikvm runtime cannot find the interface.

Regards,
Jeroen
