Hi,

it is my understanding that to support generics the CLR (at least the IL) had to be extended with new instructions. I have been wandering around the ms site looking for ducumentation without succses, can anyone point me in the right direction?

thanks
Ole

I think you'll need the Whidbey beta, when released, to get the new Tool
Developer docs.  I don't think it was even part of the alpha drop.

Hi,

I do not know if this will be good enough for your requirements, but you can
also take a look at the Gyro patch for the SSCLI (Rotor), it extends rotor
to support generics. I know the implementation has some limitations compared
to the spec, but it is a good way to get an idea as to what will be going
on.

Hope this helps

Hi, Ole.

This article makes some things clear about the templates in CLR (although,
it doesn't reference neither all the IL instructions nor the metadata
tables, modified or introduced for this feature).

All the best,

Ilya

The developer tools guide will be included in the upcoming Whidbey beta and
it will be updated with new IL instructions regarding generics.

Thanks,
Kelvin
