VariableDefinition

[dashne]

why there is no VariableDefinition like ParameterDefinition,MethodDefinition,..?

[Washi1337]

The main reasons are the following:

1. ParameterDefinition, MethodDefinition and the like are definitions found in the metadata tables, and they follow the names as described in the ECMA-335 specification. Local variables are not stored in the metadata tables, but are rather stored as blob signatures. For this reason, it follows the same naming convention as other blob signatures (VariableSignature).
2. AsmResolver does not have PDB symbol read support. Therefore, AsmResolver would never be able to assign names to variables.

Is there any plan for adding PDB symbol read support to AsmResolver ?

[Washi1337]

Not in AsmResolver 3 at least. It is on the todo list for 4, but does not have a high priority right now.

Keep in mind this does not mean AsmResolver is not able to read the local variables from a method body.
