<p>This section documents some of the internal APIs used

want to use.

<h2>Metadata Loading Errors</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The routines in this section are used to cope with errors
|
|
during metadata loading. Errors in metadata handling can
|
|
happen for many reason, and these include (this is not an
|
|
exhaustive list).
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>An assembly referenced is missing.
|
|
<li>Fields referenced are missing.
|
|
<li>Methods referenced are missing.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <tt>mono_loader_set_*</tt> routines are invoked during
|
|
metadata loading to flag that an error has happened. The
|
|
class loading errros are flagged in a per-thread basis.
|
|
|
|
<P>In various spots in the runtime the
|
|
<tt>mono_loader_get_last_error</tt> routine is called to check
|
|
if there was a problem, and then errors are propagated upwards
|
|
on the stack until we reach a point where an exception can be
|
|
raised and no runtime locks are held.
|
|
|
|
<p>The <tt>mono_loader_error_prepare_exception</tt> takes a
|
|
<tt>MonoLoaderError</tt> structure (the value returned from
|
|
<tt>mono_loader_get_last_error</tt>), turns that into an
|
|
exception and clears the error condition from the current
|
|
thread.

<h2>Metadata Loader Locking: Internals</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The locking functions here are used by code in class.c and
|
|
metadata.c to lock access to the shared hashtables inside the
|
|
MonoImage.

<h2>Garbage Collector Internal Interface</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The internal interface of the Mono GC is the interface used
|
|
between the runtime engine and the garbage collector.
