By using untyped integers instead of typed integers in the unmanaged
callsites, we allow monolinker to keep the exact set of enums that are
used by the user. Without this, we’d have to keep every single enum in
place to avoid missing type exceptions.
This does not affect the public signatures or the generated code in any
way.
This includes arrays of primitives and arrays of generics. Our code is
similar to the code generated by the Mono C# compiler for the "fixed"
construct. The .Net compiler produces slightly different code (two local
variables instead of one) - more research is required.
Default results in a managed calling convention which does not generate
unmanaged thunking code for parameter marshaling.
System.Runtime.InteropServices.CallingConvention.Winapi appears to
correspond to StdCall for calli callsites (this might be different for
pinvoke, which supports an unmanaged "platformapi" calling convention.)
Needs more testing to prove this is doing the right thing on non-Windows
platforms.
WGL was autogenerated a few years ago but never touched after that.
Since we use a tiny fraction of all available methods, it makes sense to
remove the unused ones. This reduces dll size and improves startup
times.
The rewriter will patch the body of methods marked with [AutoGenerated].
Methods that are implemented manually (e.g. various math helper
overloads) should avoid this attribute.
.Net will happily execute a calli with a generic return type, whereas
Mono will refuse to. Mono is probably doing the right thing here. Fixed
by resolving the generic return into a concrete type.
On Windows, entry points for OpenGL 1.0 and 1.1 are not exposed by
wglGetProcAddress. We fall back to LoadLibrary+GetProcAddress when
wglProcAddress fails.
