MessagePackObject.FromObject(string) not implemented on mono? about msgpack-cli HOT 11 CLOSED

Thank you for your report and suggestion.

I tested with Mono 2.8.10 and it was fine, but didn't do with 3.0.x. I'll investigate and fix this issue.

In addition, I agree that MsgPack.dll should be unified for .NET Framework and Mono. The difference is little performance optimization as you see except some unit test code does not work on Mono because of it uses minor Code Access Security API.

Wow, you're fast :)

Thanks four your work on this phenomenal project!

I tried Mono 3.0.6 on Windows, and TypeInitializationException was not thrown.
Would you tell me actual version/platform when you faced this issue? Or, would you give me a stack trace when you repro this issue? I'm afraid this issue is MacOS platform specific because I don't have mac.

It was a openSuse 13.1 XFCE with the mono-complete packet installed

from msgpack-cli.

Stacktrace:
System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for MsgPack.MessagePackString ---> System.Exception: The requested feature is not implemented.

Main method pretty much has one line in it: MessagePackObject.FromObject("test")

I remember that it is known mono issue when I saw your stack trace. Mono does not fully implement Code Access Security API, so MessagePackString does not determine security restriction that whether it can use memcpy native function or not.

Would you ensure that you compile MsgPack.dll from MsgPack.mono.sln or just specifying compiler constants "Mono"?

from msgpack-cli.

It works fine with the MsgPack.mono.sln. I get the error only with the NuGet package 0.4.0.

from msgpack-cli.

Sorry, I misunderstood your edit "Works fine with your source compiled into my project."

from msgpack-cli.

Sorry for the late answer.
I think this can be closed. I should have read your wiki pages more carefully, it clearly states that on mono it needs to be built.

from msgpack-cli.

I unified Mono source on 0.5 line except some unit testing codes which are not available in Mono because of API incompatibilities.

Thank you for your suggestion.

Close because 0.5.0 support it.
