CIL Tools v2.5 is released

Download on Github releases

The new version contains the following changes:

CilTools.BytecodeAnalysis

• Add IReflectionInfo interface to enable custom properties on reflection objects (implemented by classes in CilTools.Metadata)
• Add CilInstruction.ToSyntax()
• Add Disassembler.GetAssemblyManifestSyntaxNodes
• Add IParamsProvider interface (enables getting method parameters without resolving external assembly references, implemented by classes in CilTools.Metadata)
• Support parameters and return type custom attributes
• Support field custom attributes
• Support .override and .vtentry directives
• Support events in type disassembler
• Support vararg sentinel (...) in method signatures
• Support specialname and rtspecialname attributes on methods
• Skip assembly name for types in the same assembly
• Escape special characters in identifiers
• Escape slash in string literals
• Fix base type syntax in GetTypeDefSyntax
• Fix TypeSpec.IsValueType for byref target types and generics
• Fix extra whitepaces after directive names
• Fix constructors to have void return type in disassembled CIL
• Fix ldtoken syntax for types
• Fix CilParserException when exception handler block closes after the last instruction in the method body
• Fix literal syntax for enum and boolean types
• Fix serializable attribute handling
• Fix type name representation in syntax API (now namespace is handled as a separate identifier token)
• Fix detection of <Module> type (global fields and functions)

CilTools.Runtime

• Implement GetReferencedAssemblies and ManifestModule on DynamicMethodsAssembly

CilTools.CommandLine

• Add view-source command
• Add fileinfo command
• Add support for viewing assembly manifest to view command
• Add assembly disassembling support to disasm command
• Roll-forward to next major versions of .NET Runtime

The view-source command enables you to display source code of the specified method based on info in debugging symbols (if they are present) or decompiled source (currently only a limited decompilation support for methods without body, i.e, abstract or pinvoke). 

The fileinfo command displays information about assembly files, such as PE header data or assembly-level custom attributes.

The Roll-forward feature means that you can run the app on .NET 5.0+, even though it targets .NET Core 3.1.

CIL View

• Add Source Link support for Portable PDB symbols
• Add source code syntax highlighting
• Add instruction info
• Add IL syntax highlighting in SourceViewWindow
• Add support for viewing assembly manifest and Export assembly to file menu command
• Add Recent files menu
• Add HTML help
• Change default filter in Open File dialog to include all supported file types (instead of only .dll and .exe)
• Disable formatted view for .il files larger then 1 MB
• Support viewing separate types from .il files
• Load .il files in background

New Source view UI look with syntax highlighting:

ErrLib v1.1 update

The new version of ErrLib was released. Changes in the new version: 

• Add support for custom logging target (ErrLib_SetLoggingCallback)
• Add C++ exception API (ErrLib_CPP.h)
• Add high-level stack trace API (ErrLib_Except_GetStackTraceData)
• Add NuGet package
• Add API docs using Doxygen
• Fix crash in ErrLib_PrintStack on x64
• Fix ErrLib_PrintStack crash on Win7 when reading PDB symbols built with /DEBUG:FASTLINK option

Обновление Small Media Player - v2.4

Вышла новая версия Small Media Player: загрузить на Github Releases.

Изменения в новой версии:

• Теперь для воспроизведения файла проигрыватель сначала пытается использовать режим Media Foundation, а если файл воспроизвести в нем невозможно, использует DirectShow (ранее было наоборот)
• Добавлена возможность просмотра информации о форматах мультимедиа в режиме Media Foundation
• Переработан регулятор громкости, так чтобы изменение уровня громкости в режимах Media Foundation и DirectShow происходило одинаково
• Исправлены проблемы с производительностью при перемотке на большой промежуток времени в режиме Media Foundation
• Исправлено блокирование воспроизведения модальным диалоговым окном при возникновении ошибки в режиме Media Foundation
• Исправлена ошибка Access violation при завершении воспроизведения файла в режиме Media Foundation
• Исправлена некорректная перерисовка окна видео во время паузы
• Исправлена ошибка при попытке воспроизвести видеофайл на машине, не имеющей ни одного активного звукового устройства

CIL Tools update 2.4

 A new CIL Tools update is released. The update contains a new project, CilTools.CommandLine, as well as some changes and fixes to existing projects.

Download on GitHub releases

Changes in the new version:

General

• New project: CilTools.CommandLine

CilTools.BytecodeAnalysis

• Add support for including bytecode size and source code lines in disassembler output
• Add support for .entrypoint directive
• Add support for generic constraints
• Add support for properties in disassembler
• Add ICustomMethod interface as a base for custom method implementations to replace CustomMethod base class. This means that custom method implementations can now be derived from MethodInfo or ConstructorInfo.
• Improve generics support. Generic context is now passed correctly to generic parameter types is more cases; this enables getting generic parameter names and their declaring methods/types.
• Fix TypeSpec.IsGenericParameter for byrefs
• Fix ldtoken syntax for methods
• Fix string literal escaping in disassembler to use ECMA-335 rules

CilTools.Runtime

• Update custom method implementations to derive from MethodInfo/ConstructorInfo and implement ICustomMethod

CIL View

• Add support for opening C#/VB code and MSBuild projects
• Add Show source support
• Add options to include bytecode size and source code lines (from PDB) in disassembler output
• Add support for opening IL source files
• Add support for .entrypoint directive
• Add Export type to file menu command
• Add support for generic constraints
• Add support for disassembling properties
• Add support for interactive method execution
• Use .NET Core runtime directory when resolving dependencies for .NET Core assemblies
• Use runtime directory of the inspected process instead of current runtime directory for assembly resolution when opening a process
• Load assembly images from memory instead of files when opening a process
• When an assembly contains a single type, automatically navigate to that type
• When the type contains only one non-constructor method and no other members (like fields), automatically navigate to that single method when type is selected
• Change member identifier color to more visible with lower brightness
• Fix ldtoken syntax for methods
• Fix string literal escaping in disassembler to use ECMA-335 rules
