ilasm

Say I have the following CIL: ldc.i4 40 <- a breakpoint is set here ldc.i4.2 add box int32 call void [mscorlib]System.Console::WriteLine(string) I then use ilasm /debug main.il to assemble the exe and pdb files to use in mdbg. My question is, when I'm at say line 3, before the add operation is executed, I would want to see the evaluation stack which would show me the two int32 constants, 40 and 2, which I had loaded before. How can I view this evaluation stack in mdbg? I found the command that's needed to view the evaluation stack while debugging in mdbg: p[rint] . p[rint] prints local or

I have taken a look at a C# struct FooStruct in ILDASM , and have seen the following: ILDASM here displays two differing declarations: one starting with .class value public (rear window & front window's title bar) one starting with just .class public (front window) And I wonder which syntax (if not both) is the correct one for declaring a value type? Is the value modifier strictly necessary, or optional, or a syntax error? Short answer: Value type definitions only require extends [mscorlib]System.ValueType ; the value attribute appears to be optional and has no apparent effect. I assume that

Is there the equivalent of ILDASM / ILASM for the .net-core? Specifically, I'm looking for something that runs on Linux (Hence why the .net-core). Both the ildasm and ilasm tools are built with CoreCLR from this repo: https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr . They include similar functionality as the versions shipped with Windows (sans GUI, etc.). There are nuget packages shipped that include them as well ( https://www.nuget.org/packages?q=ildasm ), but they are platform-specific and also require a matching version of CoreCLR to use, so they are not straightforward to consume via nuget. The easiest

Is there a way to programmatically get the FileInfo/Path of the ildasm.exe/ilasm.exe executables? I'm attempting to decompile and recompile a dll/exe file appropriately after making some alterations to it (I'm guessing PostSharp does something similar to alter the IL after the compilation). I found a blog post that pointed to: var pfDir = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolders.ProgramFiles)); var sdkDir = Path.Combine(pfDir, @"Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin"); ... However, when I ran this code the directory did not exist (mainly because my SDK version is 7.1), so on my local
