Re: Quoted Names

"blob" is an ILAsm keyword used for Variant Types (VT_BLOB). The ILAsm keywords include all IL instructions from inc\opcode.def plus keywords defined in inc\il_kywd.h

If you are using round-tripping technique (disassemble-edit-reassemble), please use /QUO option of ILDasm. All your identifiers will be single-quoted, which will protect your IL code from possible changes in ILAsm keyword set.

Thanks,
Serge

Subject: [DOTNET-ROTOR] Quoted Names


Hi there,
I stumbled upon a phenomenon which puzzles me. I used "blob" as name for a
field in IL Language. ILAsm gives me an error at Token "blob". To
understand what's going on, I wrote a short C# program with a variable
named "blob", compiled and disassembled with ILDasm. ILDasm generated a
Quoted name: "'blob'". I don't understand why. "blob" is definitely not a
keyword (I checked opcode.def). Can somebody explain, what's going on
there?

Regards
Mirko
