[jcw-gen] Fix InvalidCastException from Cecil upgrade - #79
Merged
Conversation
Commit dfed286 updated Cecil to Cecil 0.10.0-beta1-v2, which has multiple API incompatibilities with Cecil 0.9.6. Unfortunately, some of these incompatibilities were hidden by use of the `.Cast<T>()` extension method, which was used because older versions of Cecil didn't use generics at all, so the `.Cast<T>()` was present to provide types. Types which became wrong with Cecil 0.10.0. The result is that when [building xamarin-android with a newer Java.Interop][0], [things broke][1]: jcw-gen: System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'Mono.Cecil.InterfaceImplementation' to type 'Mono.Cecil.TypeReference'. at (wrapper castclass) System.Object:__castclass_with_cache (object,intptr,intptr) at System.Linq.Enumerable+<CastIterator>c__Iterator17`1[TResult].MoveNext () [0x00059] in /private/tmp/source-mono-4.4.0-c7sr1/bockbuild-mono-4.4.0-branch-c7sr1/profiles/mono-mac-xamarin/build-root/mono-x86/external/referencesource/System.Core/System/Linq/Enumerable.cs:916 at System.Linq.Enumerable+WhereSelectEnumerableIterator`2[TSource,TResult].MoveNext () [0x00078] in /private/tmp/source-mono-4.4.0-c7sr1/bockbuild-mono-4.4.0-branch-c7sr1/profiles/mono-mac-xamarin/build-root/mono-x86/external/referencesource/System.Core/System/Linq/Enumerable.cs:282 at System.Linq.Enumerable+WhereEnumerableIterator`1[TSource].MoveNext () [0x00062] in /private/tmp/source-mono-4.4.0-c7sr1/bockbuild-mono-4.4.0-branch-c7sr1/profiles/mono-mac-xamarin/build-root/mono-x86/external/referencesource/System.Core/System/Linq/Enumerable.cs:147 at System.Linq.Enumerable+<SelectManyIterator>c__Iterator2`2[TSource,TResult].MoveNext () [0x0009a] in /private/tmp/source-mono-4.4.0-c7sr1/bockbuild-mono-4.4.0-branch-c7sr1/profiles/mono-mac-xamarin/build-root/mono-x86/external/referencesource/System.Core/System/Linq/Enumerable.cs:424 at Java.Interop.Tools.JavaCallableWrappers.JavaCallableWrapperGenerator..ctor (Mono.Cecil.TypeDefinition type, System.String outerType, System.Action`2 log) [0x00332] in /Users/builder/jenkins/workspace/xamarin-android-pr-builder/xamarin-android/external/Java.Interop/src/Java.Interop.Tools.JavaCallableWrappers/Java.Interop.Tools.JavaCallableWrappers/JavaCallableWrapperGenerator.cs:144 at Java.Interop.Tools.JavaCallableWrappers.JavaCallableWrapperGenerator..ctor (Mono.Cecil.TypeDefinition type, System.Action`2 log) [0x00000] in /Users/builder/jenkins/workspace/xamarin-android-pr-builder/xamarin-android/external/Java.Interop/src/Java.Interop.Tools.JavaCallableWrappers/Java.Interop.Tools.JavaCallableWrappers/JavaCallableWrapperGenerator.cs:60 at Java.Interop.Tools.App.GenerateJavaCallableWrapper (Mono.Cecil.TypeDefinition type, System.String outputPath) [0x0001f] in /Users/builder/jenkins/workspace/xamarin-android-pr-builder/xamarin-android/external/Java.Interop/tools/jcw-gen/App.cs:78 at Java.Interop.Tools.App.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00265] in /Users/builder/jenkins/workspace/xamarin-android-pr-builder/xamarin-android/external/Java.Interop/tools/jcw-gen/App.cs:66 Remove use of `.Cast<T>()`: it's superfluous now that Cecil uses generics (and has for ages...), and it's use introduces bugs.

Types which became wrong with Cecil 0.10.0.
The result is that when

things broke:
Remove use of
.Cast<T>(): it's superfluous now that Cecil usesgenerics (and has for ages...), and it's use introduces bugs.
