Cannot rename generic type references

[jgagnon]

It is no longer possible to rename a generic type reference, due to the following commit :

6cc2e55

In AssemblyReader.cs, GetMemberReference method, the added condition prevents renames to generic type references to be saved :

  if (!member.ContainsGenericParameter)
    metadata.AddMemberReference (member);

If I comment out that if, it fixes the problem, but I presume it might break what you were trying to fix with that change.

GetTypeReferences and GetMemberReferences should be considered read-only. You need to walk through the assembly to identify the references you want to update.

How do you walk through the assembly?

[jbevain]

For now, manually. You need to inspect the object tree, including the IL bodies, for every occurence of a reference you want to rename.

Ok, thanks for the information.
