I have a fully initialized MethodBuilder and EnumBuilder. The MethodBuilder points to the entry point of a dynamic assembly. It has the following signature:
public static int Main (string [] args) {...}
The assembly generation code works fine and I can use Reflection.Emit to test it. Instead of emitting IL, I want to save the target code from an expression tree. It should:
- declare a enum variable
- assign it a value
- write to the console
- read pause the console
- return a enum value as an Int32
EXPRESSION TREE:
// Intention: Declare string [] args in the expression scope.
var arguments = Expression.Parameter(typeof(string []), "args");
// Intention: var code = default(MyDynamicEnum);
var code = Expression.Variable(builderEnum, "code");
// Intention: code = MyDynamicEnum.Two;
var assign = Expression.Assign(code, Expression.Constant(2, builderEnum));
// Intention: Console.WriteLine(args [0]);
var write = Expression.Call(typeof(Console).GetMethod("WriteLine", new Type [] { typeof(string) }), Expression.ArrayIndex(arguments, Expression.Constant(0, typeof(int))));
// Intention: Console.ReadKey(true);
var read = Expression.Call(typeof(Console).GetMethod("ReadKey", new Type [] { typeof(bool) }), Expression.Constant(true, typeof(bool)));
// Intention: return ((int) code);
var @return = Expression.Constant(2, typeof(int));
// How to combine above expressions and create a function body?
var block = Expression.Block(arguments, code, assign, write, read, @return);
var lambda = Expression.Lambda<Func<string [], int>>(block, new ParameterExpression [] { arguments });
lambda.CompileToMethod(builderMethod); // Error: Variable 'code' of type 'Type: MyDynamicEnum' referenced from scope '', but it is not defined.
The full code is available on this GIST. The error on the last line seems to make sense but I don't know how to fix it. The enumeration MyDynamicEnum is already created as a type but how do I import it into the expression tree context? Any pointers would be appreciated.
