Class CorLibTypeSignature

Namespace
AsmResolver.DotNet.Signatures
Assembly
AsmResolver.DotNet.dll

Represents a blob type signature referencing an element type defined in a common object runtime library such as mscorlib (.NET framework) or System.Private.CorLib (.NET Core).

Properties

ElementType

Gets the element type of the

public override ElementType ElementType { get; }

Property Value

ElementType

IsValueType

Gets a value indicating whether instances of this type are passed on by value or by reference.

public override bool IsValueType { get; }

Property Value

bool

Name

Gets the name of the object.

public override string? Name { get; }

Property Value

string

Namespace

Gets the namespace the type resides in.

public override string Namespace { get; }

Property Value

string

Scope

Gets the resolution scope that defines the type.

public override IResolutionScope? Scope { get; }

Property Value

IResolutionScope

Type

Gets the reference to the type as it is defined in the common object runtime library.

public ITypeDefOrRef Type { get; }

Property Value

ITypeDefOrRef

Methods

AcceptVisitor<TResult>(ITypeSignatureVisitor<TResult>)

Visit the current type signature using the provided visitor.

public override TResult AcceptVisitor<TResult>(ITypeSignatureVisitor<TResult> visitor)

Parameters

visitor ITypeSignatureVisitor<TResult>

The visitor to accept.

Returns

TResult

The result the visitor produced after visiting this type signature.

Type Parameters

TResult

The type of result the visitor produces.

AcceptVisitor<TState, TResult>(ITypeSignatureVisitor<TState, TResult>, TState)

Visit the current type signature using the provided visitor.

public override TResult AcceptVisitor<TState, TResult>(ITypeSignatureVisitor<TState, TResult> visitor, TState state)

Parameters

visitor ITypeSignatureVisitor<TState, TResult>

The visitor to accept.

state TState

Additional state.

Returns

TResult

The result the visitor produced after visiting this type signature.

Type Parameters

TState

The type of additional state.

TResult

The type of result the visitor produces.

GetIntermediateType()

Obtains the intermediate type of the type signature.

public override TypeSignature GetIntermediateType()

Returns

TypeSignature

The intermediate type.

Remarks

As per ECMA-335 I.8.7, intermediate types are a subset of the built-in value types can be represented on the evaluation stack.

GetReducedType()

Obtains the reduced type of the type signature.

public override TypeSignature GetReducedType()

Returns

TypeSignature

The reduced type.

Remarks

As per ECMA-335 I.8.7, the reduced type ignores the semantic differences between enumerations and the signed and unsigned integer types; treating these types the same if they have the same number of bits.

GetUnderlyingTypeDefOrRef()

Gets the underlying base type signature, without any extra adornments.

public override ITypeDefOrRef GetUnderlyingTypeDefOrRef()

Returns

ITypeDefOrRef

The base signature.

Remarks

This is not to be confused with GetUnderlyingType(), which may resolve enum types to their underlying type representation.

GetVerificationType()

Obtains the verification type of the type signature.

public override TypeSignature GetVerificationType()

Returns

TypeSignature

The verification type.

Remarks

As per ECMA-335 I.8.7, the verification type ignores the semantic differences between enumerations, characters, booleans, the signed and unsigned integer types, and managed pointers to any of these; treating these types the same if they have the same number of bits or point to types with the same number of bits.

IsImportedInModule(ModuleDefinition)

Determines whether the descriptor of the member is fully imported in the provided module.

public override bool IsImportedInModule(ModuleDefinition module)

Parameters

module ModuleDefinition

The module that is supposed to import the member.

Returns

bool

true if the descriptor of the member is fully imported by the module, false otherwise.

Remarks

This method verifies all references in the descriptor of the member only. It does not verify any additional data or contents (such as a method body) associated to the member.

Resolve(ModuleDefinition)

Resolves the reference to a method definition, assuming the provided module as resolution context.

public override TypeDefinition? Resolve(ModuleDefinition context)

Parameters

context ModuleDefinition

The module to assume as resolution context.

Returns

TypeDefinition

The resolved method definition, or null if the method could not be resolved.

ToTypeDefOrRef()

Transforms the type descriptor to an instance of a ITypeDefOrRef, which can be referenced by a metadata token.

public override ITypeDefOrRef ToTypeDefOrRef()

Returns

ITypeDefOrRef

The constructed TypeDefOrRef instance.

WriteContents(in BlobSerializationContext)

Serializes the blob (without extra data) to an output stream.

protected override void WriteContents(in BlobSerializationContext context)

Parameters

context BlobSerializationContext
