DeepCopy
method incorrectly callsRecordObject
after copying fields instead of before. This results in circular references involving being incorrectly serialized, resulting in a loss of referential equality.The fix is to simply emit the call to
RecordObject
before the field-copying calls.This was not failing in our test suite (
Serialize_CircularReference
) because the assembly holding the recursively defined type has the[SkipCodeGeneration]
attribute, so a serializer was not being generated and so the fallback serializer was being used.
