This version brings rudimentary low-level .NET ReadyToRun (R2R) parsing and writing to AsmResolver, allowing you to locate and read native code of precompiled managed method bodies (see documentation). Additionally, basic Span<T> support was added to primitives like IDataSource and Utf8String for newer .NET runtime targets (netstandard 2.1 and above), and some new convenience APIs were added. Finally, some bugfixes were implemented, increasing general stability of the library.

New Features

  • Add support for low level .NET ReadyToRun assembly parsing (#294, #495). See documentation.
  • Add basic Span<T> support for IDataSources and Utf8String (#483, thanks @DaZombieKiller).
  • Add option to suppress .NET resource data deduplication (#492).
  • Add TypeDefinition::GetConstructor, MethodDefinition::CreateConstructor and similar (#480).
  • Add ReferenceTable primitive segment class, representing structures like VTables that can be directly used as a writable ISegment.
  • Add BinaryStreamReader::RemainingLength.
  • Reduce allocations of null SegmentReferences.
  • Add netstandard2.1 target.

Bug Fixes

  • TypeReference::IsImportedInModule now correctly takes its resolution scope into account (#497).
  • Type resolution now correctly first checks whether the resolution scope refers to the current assembly (7403692).
  • TypeNameParser now correctly does not return fully imported types, but they can still be resolved using .Resolve() (#497).
  • MemberCloner now correctly fixes cross-references to included System.Type arguments in Custom Attributes (#482, #493).
  • Fixed an issue where .NET resource data with a malformed header would crash the parser (#492).
  • Fixed an issue where ZeroesDataSource would clear out too much data in the buffer provided to ReadBytes (thanks @DaZombieKiller)
  • Fixed an issue where BitList would incorrectly accept negative indices (#478).
  • Fixed an issue where duplicated members would not be added even when preserving metadata tokens (#478).
  • Fixed an issue where members with manually assigned tokens would not be saved correctly when assembly had no backing .NET directory (#478)
  • Fixed a race condition in the caching mechanism of assembly resolution (61b6ddf)
  • Fixed a race condition in the caching mechanism of input file services (61b6ddf)
  • Fixed an issue where string operands in IL pretty printed instructions were not escaped properly (6e039b9)

Minor Breaking Changes

  • Remove TlsCallbackCollection, replaced with ReferenceTable.
  • TlsDirectory::CallbackFunctions is now of type ReferenceTable.
  • IDotNetDirectory::ManagedNativeHeader is now of the more specific segment type IManagedNativeHeader.
