[DotGNU]Il based linking of jabber.net

[James Michael DuPont]

Dear all,
we have been starting an effort to port jabber to pnet.

The first step is to determine the exact methods and functions missing.

To get this done, I am working on analysis of the IL code.

I have bypassed the compiler problems.
_Simon used ildasm to dump the jabber.net, I reassembled with pnet and
redumped. 
ilasm jabbber-ms.il
ildsam -q jabber-ms.obj > jabber-pnet.il

this produced a smaller IL, of course i had to remove all types of junk
in the IL. Forward Declaration and other junk (



basically everything in here is removed :
// ============== CLASS STRUCTURE DECLARATION ==================
// =============== GLOBAL FIELDS AND METHODS ===================

And this line is breaking ilasm  :
".field static assembly valuetype
'<PrivateImplementationDetails>'/'$$struct0x6000174-1'
'$$method0x6000174-1' at D_00007928"

that is one problem :" at D_00007928"

using ildasm, I have created a version that links and you can see the
linked version of the lib.

You will see in Stubs.il these missing classes : 
.namespace System.Diagnostics
{
.class public TraceLevel{}
.class public TraceSwitch {}
.class TraceListener {}
.class public TraceListenerCollection{}
}
.namespace System.Threading
{
.class public WaitCallback{}
.class public ThreadPool{}
}

Unfortunatly i had to include a copy of the mscorelib.il and that
causes the il Load_TypeDef to crash  :
metadata error in token 0x020000BF: cannot locate parent type

Breakpoint 16, 0x0805d94b in Load_TypeDef (image=0x806f840,
values=0xbffff570, valuesNext=0xbffff530, token=33554623, userData=0x0)
    at meta_build.c:975

I will be submitting a bug report after i update my cvs and recompiling
cvs.

you can find all the il source code here :
http://introspector.sourceforge.net/debian/incoming/jabber.pnet_0.1.orig.tar.gz

_Simon says that he will be asking the author of Jabber.net to release
this under the GPL. So as far as I know, this code is JOSL, and not GPL
compatible!
