A long time I have not blogged. Mainly spent my time working on Cecil. Better than a long talk, here is an example of what Cecil is able to do now. There is a name for programs that write themselves, I've forget it, and my example is not really one of them. My example is a very simple C# console program, but it will print its CIL representation, almost like ildasm.
I've not included the source and the result on the blog, because they are not really short. The source is viewable here :
C# source. We simply load an assembly using Cecil, then we print the content of the methods. Easy no ? Let's take a look at the output :
here.
I have still a lot of work to do, and the API is not really stable, but I'm close to what I want. Once I'll get it, I think I'll call for contribution on this blog, to achieve the writing part of Cecil. Stay tuned !
