Exceptions?

[wjk]

Just a quick question: are exceptions implemented? When I try running a dead-simple program that throws an InvalidOperationException, I get the following output:

Call to an unimplemented runtime method; execution cannot continue.
Method: RhpThrowEx

This makes me think that exceptions are not implemented, yet we have System.Private.StackTraceGenerator, which presumably would be used in creating stack traces for exceptions. If exceptions are not yet implemented, what does that project do?

That is correct - EH is still to be implemented.

yet we have System.Private.StackTraceGenerator

We have moved all existing code that we believe will be needed for the project to github. Now, we are working on integrating the parts together. E.g. the same applies to reflection - there is a lot of code related to reflection, but reflection is not functional yet.

Whats the plan here with respect to ModuleHeader? The current bootstrapped registers a SimpleModuleHeader which does not contain, well, much of anything. All of the code in the StackFrameIterator and RuntimeInstance seem to presume that all the Module's will have a full ModuleHeader.

I'm happy to pitch in here, but whats the plan of record?

Never mind -- I just saw #886

The good stuff is actually coming in #851. It should be a list of <section id, start/end> so that we have flexibility about which sections to included in different configs.

This is tracked by #509, #910 and #911.
