[Ikvm-developers] Support for sun.misc.Unsafe.arrayBaseOffset(Object[].class)

[Vittorio R. <vri...@re...>]

Hi ikvm-developers,

I'm working on [1] project and I'm using IKVM to run the java test suite
developed for the Java client [2] against the dotnet-client.
IKVM works very well and saved me lot of time, but I'm now facing an issue
[3] in running Java tests that use sun.misc.Unsafe class.
What seems to happen is that running in IKVM arrayBaseOffset returns an
unexpected value (not 2 and not 3) and causes an exception here [4]

I've read that java Unsafe is not fully supported, do you have plan to work
on this?
Can you suggest me a workaround for now?

I've seen something related in message [5]

Thank you!

Vittorio
