Hi Jackson,

Yes, using ILASM you can put elipsis (ELEMENT_TYPE_SENTINEL) in the signature of a \
method definition, and no, it's not an appropriate thing to do. The methods 'a' and \
'b' have different signatures, and method 'a' most probably won't be resolved \
correctly when called, while 'b' most certainly will. 

Thanks,
Serge

Subject: ilasm vararg methods


 
Hello,

  According to the ecma spec the ellipsis is not supposed to be used in the \
definition of a vararg method. However with ilasm you can use the ellipsis in the \
definition of a vararg method, and when disassembling that method the ellipsis will \
show up in the method signature. Is there something I am missing? What is the \
difference between the following methods?

.method public static vararg void a (int32, ...)
{
        ret
}

.method public static vararg void b (int32)
{
        ret
}


Thanks in advance,
Jackson
