Dear sirs/madam,
I am trying to dynamically invoke assembly. (For some days Tomas helped me
to get it compiled). Now I am so far that I can test if the assembly
invoked. And I get the System.Executio nEngineExceptio n at the time of
Invoke. Apparenty it is because of the cast of parameter 4 or may be because
GC? I tried to pin it but get compiler error, that only pointers can be
pinned.
I would very appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Details:
void AAA::Execute ( Object* Application, int hwndOwner, Object*
(*ContextParams ) __gc[], Object* (*ContextParams 8) __gc[],
EnvDTE::wizardR esult __gc* retval){
Object* arr __gc[];
arr = new Object*[5];
arr[0] =Application;
arr[1] =__box(hwndOwne r);
arr[2] =reinterpret_ca st<Object*> (*ContextParams );
arr[3] =reinterpret_ca st<Object*> (*ContextParams 8);
arr[4]=reinterpret_ca st<Object*>(ret val); //<<This case latter error
arr[4]=NULL; //<<No error, assembly invoked fine!!!
.....
m_Execute->Invoke(m_Insta nce, arr); //Exception thrown at this place !!!!

Chances are the reinterpret_cas t are hosing you here. Try removing the
reinterpret_cas ts (which are not needed here, anyway). The problem is that,
I believe, the last cast causes the compiler to generate invalid code that
confuses the runtime. Try instead to simply rebox the enumerated value:
arr[0] =Application;
arr[1] =__box(hwndOwne r);
arr[2] =*ContextParams ;
arr[3] =*ContextParams ;
arr[4] = __box(*retval);

Dear Tomas,
Thanks, it seems to work this way. But I am wondering why (I am not sure if
it really works correct, even if in this particular case it could be
tolerated). The parameter retaval is a reference to the return value. This
value will be written from inside of the invoked method . But if I box it,
then it is copied to the new object, am I right? If so then I loose return
value of the execute method for the outer execute call. Hope, you understand
what I mean.
Please, could you clarify this. And if I am right, is there any better
solution.
Thanks you for your really great help.

No, you are right, but all this means is that you'll need to copy the value
after the return. If you prefer, you could always create a new local
variable, pass that, and then copy it to the parameter.

Thanks Tomas,
I did this workaround (IMHO it is workaround), and it worked. But is there
no general way to pass pointer vales of the arbitrary type to the invoke? .
First the invoke forses me to cast arguments to the Object* and loose type,
and then the compiler can't generate a rigth code to cast the pointer back?
Is it a bug?
Thanks for this fruitfull discussion,
Boni

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure. I do think it might be a bug, or perhaps
just a limitation of the type system in the way __gc* are implemented for
value types.
