.NET Forum / Languages / C# / September 2007Compiler that allows inline IL
As far as I know, csc does not support inline IL. I was wondering: is there any C# compiler that allows inline IL???? Probably not, as it would not be a C# compiler anymore. The C# language specification doesn't have any mechanism to inline IL. You can still code in IL if you want, and then compile it into a module, along with your C# code, and then combine the modules into an assembly.

What is the point ? Since optimization is not done in C#->IL but in IL->x86, then there are no reason to believe it could be used for optimization and you can not use IL to access various low level hardware features.

There are a few cases where hand-tweaking the IL would allow for further optimisation (which *does* have an effect). It's rare, but it could very occasionally be useful. There are also some features which IL allows for but C# doesn't (covariance/contravariance of generics in interfaces, for example).
