Hi,
MS ildasm is able to extract information from PDB files to IL code. If there
is a PDB file it includes variable names in IL code an with /linenum switch
it will emit line number information as well.
MS ilasm generates a PDB with /debug switch that will contain the names of
local variables and line numbers. And I think all the other usual symbols.

Hi, Miguel.
The option of playing with ilasm/ildasm will mess out completely the debug
information. PDB uses the tokens from the DLL to identify the class,
method,
etc. The tokens will be completely messed up by this exercise.
I will look at the output of ildasm to analyze better the .Net 2.0
dependencies
to see if we can come up with some kind of hack for using the CSC 2.0
compiler.

Hello,
I think it is a bad idea, specially considering that it means that we
have to write more and debug more code than we otherwise would.
There is an easy solution that I mentioned before which is that we can
add support to mcs to generate pdb files instead.
MCS already uses the API to generate debugging information, the only
difference is that it consumes a Mono-specific API instead of the
cross-platform API.
We did not use the cross-platform API in the past because we did not
have information on how to use it, but now IronPython has code that
shows how to use it.
Alternatively to upgrading mcs, you can use csc, and then do:
ildasm /out:output file.dll
sed script
ilasm output.il
Where the sed script would remove the couple of new keywords on ildasm
and replace the 2.x references with 1.x references.
