[SharpOS Developers] stubs, delegates, etc.

[Sander v. R. <san...@gm...>]

In my own version of the trunk i'm using function pointers to transfer
timer / keyboard events to my Console class..
(Eventually this will have to be replaced by some event buffer)

So now i ran into a problem with the way c# works & the limitations of
the AOT compiler..
The problem is; i would like to use a struct as a parameter in my
event functions..
But the moment i call the function i need to do: &myStruct .. and C#
won't let me do this..
So maybe it would be possible to create an AddressOf stub?

Also, right now i have a Call function in my version of the kernel,
which i use to execute my function pointer with a parameter..
this way i can simply do
Kernel.Call(myFunction, myParam)

unfortunatly, i have to make a version of this function for every type
of parameter i would us.. which is clumsy..
i would like to use generics (not sure how that would work with the aot)..
And altough i can restrict the parameters to be 'struct' (value-type),
now all parameters run into the &myStruct problem above...
maybe a generic call function stub would be usefull?

All in all, it would be nicest if we could just use the delegate
syntax in C#, and (with some restrictions obviously) let the AOT sort
it out for us..

I'll look at the AOT code to see what i can do, but my time is rather limited..
