Binary reference assemblies

Mono binary reference assemblies

Built using csc 2.1.0.

Adding a new .NET profile

Use the following steps (we're using 4.7.1 as example):

1. Copy existing v4.7/Makefile and src/v4.7/* to new folders and commit
2. Update PROFILE variable in v4.7.1/Makefile
3. Wire up new profile in Makefile in repo root
4. Run the generation script ./generate-refasm-sources.sh v4.7.1 some/path/to/netfx/referenceassemblies
5. Revert deletion of *.extra.cs
6. Revert changes that remove #if / #endif
7. Revert suspicious changes to:
   • Accessibility.cs (bug in GenApi)
   • Microsoft.VisualBasic.cs (bug in GenApi and wrong AssemblyCopyright/Product attribute)
   • Microsoft.VisualC.cs (bug in GenApi)
   • System.Data.Linq.cs (bug in GenApi)
   • System.Deployment.cs (we only have stub assemblies)
   • System.Runtime.DurableInstancing.cs (bug in GenApi)
   • System.Security.cs (bug in GenApi)
   • System.Web.Mobile.cs (we only have stub assemblies)
   • System.Workflow.*.cs (we only have stub assemblies)
8. Add new assemblies/facades to v4.7.1/Makefile
9. Run make -C v4.7.1 and ensure everything compiles

reference-assemblies's Issues

`mscorlib` reference assembly is missing `System.Diagnostics.Tracing` methods

Commit mono/mono@ce24528 added various methods to some of the classes in the System.Diagnostics.Tracing namespace.

This allowed me to run an application on mono.

However, I can currently not compile that application on mono because, from what I gather, the mscorlib reference assembly (mono/4.5-api/mscorlib.dll) does not contain these updated methods.

I was wondering what the best way would be to fix this? Do I check out reference-assemblies, do a binary replacement of mscorlib, and issue a binary PR for that?

Any other recommended approach?
