<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetins !</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am still having issues with MSIL backend.(Yes, I
have built library with ilc grade;)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In order to understand why my hello.exe failes, I
have created test project on c# in Visual Studio. Then I added references
to all dll files from mercury/library folder to this project. To force mercury
runtime initialization I am calling static method of library class - so
its static constructor is triggerd.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>string</FONT><FONT size=2> v = "";</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>mercury.library.version_1_p_0( </FONT><FONT color=#0000ff
size=2>ref</FONT><FONT size=2> v );</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT size=1></FONT></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Execution of this code throws
exception:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=1></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT size=1>System.TypeLoadException: Could not
load class 'private_builtin__c_code'.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT size=1> at
mercury.library.version_1_p_0(String& Version_1)</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT size=1> at
My.MyForm..ctor()</DIV></FONT></FONT>
<DIV><FONT size=1><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My analys of library il code showes that
library::.ctor calls similar static constructors of other modules. Some of
them are trying to access fields in private_builtin__c_code
class(e.g. <FONT size=1>'MR_TYPECTOR_REP_EQUIV' <FONT
size=2>field</FONT>).</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=1><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=1><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any clues ?</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=1><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=1><FONT face=Arial size=2>With best regards,</FONT></FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>P.S. While building test project I am getting
this output form c# compiler :</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=1>The sub-dependency 'mercury.io' could not be found.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=1>The sub-dependency 'mercury' could not be found.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think this is beause <U>all</U> modules in library
has <STRONG>.assembly extern 'mercury' { }</STRONG>. My understandding is that
one module should have this directive without <STRONG>extern</STRONG>.
</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>P.P.S. What intrigued me is why hello.exe fails
unable to load 'assoc_list' while my test project goes slightly further. ILDASM
showed me that the test project metadata referes to library modules
using<STRONG> .file</STRONG>. After I have copied this referencies into hello.il
I managed to receive the same exception form hello.exe - could not load
'private_builtin__c_code'.</FONT></P>
