Re: Using MonoLinker on ikvmc generated assembly

Hi Marius,

I think that most of the reflection problems come from the Java code, not the IKVM runtime itself.

I've been thinking about this and currently my best direction for solving this would be to have a modified runtime that logs all reflection usage and a tool to post process the log into an xml file for the linker.

I haven't had time to actually try this though.

It also wouldn't get you all the way there, because some reflection is based on environmental factors (e.g. the current culture), but I'm guessing these are limited and can be handled manually (i.e. hard coded in the tool).

Regards,
Jeroen
