Extern / Storage Class in C Sharp ?

[vivekian]

Hi ,

I am a C Sharp newbie, and need to study its compiler internals as a
part of my small project. Does Microsoft provide compiler details e.g.
what kind of symbol table it uses etc ? I believe there is an
equivalent Linux implementation - Mono available . Would looking it up
help since its open source ? Any pointers to links would be a big help.
Thanks in advance,

Take a look at Mono, I doubt MS provides any info about his stellar
compiler.

Note that it's implemented in C/C++ so you better be familiar with it

Hi vivekian,

Microsoft has a project called "Shared Source CLI" aka "Rotor", which
contains free source code for both a CLI-compliant runtime and compilers,
intended for academic purposes.

Check out: http://research.microsoft.com/programs/europe/rotor/
