[Mono-dev] Getting rid of SRE CompilerContext

2010-04-27 Thread Rodrigo Kumpera
Hey folks,

Now that Marek has landed support for CompilerContext free mcs[1], I do want
to start killing all CompilerContext kludges we have.

Rolf mentioned that vbnc does depends to some extend but vbnc+cecil doesn't.
It would be nice if we could get either the cecil version
done or the former fixed.

Jeroen, does IKVM depends on SRE with CompilerContext?

If others depends on CompilerContext or mono specific behavior of SRE,
please talk now as 2.8 won't be forgiving on this matter.

Cheers,
Rodrigo

[1]Actually not all compiler context hacks can go away, but only those
strictly required to compile corlib will remain.

Hi Rodrigo,

No, IKVM doesn't use CompilerContext (although I did implement (some of) it in 
IKVM.Reflection, to support my mcs prototyping).

Thanks,
Jeroen

This sounds like a lot of work to do and would force Rolf to start work on
this.

I know that the MCS changes just landed, but there really is no rush to take
CompilerContext out of SRE.

gmcs no longer sets the flag so from gmcs perspective all CC hacks can go.
