BUG: You Cannot Use Smcil.exe to Compile Managed Code as Expected (309545)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft .NET Framework SDK 1.0
- Microsoft .NET Framework SDK 1.1
- Microsoft .NET Framework Class Libraries 1.0
- Microsoft Windows .NET Framework Class Libraries 1.1
This article was previously published under Q309545 SYMPTOMS The documentation for the Simple Managed Compiler (SMC)
sample, located in the following directory Microsoft Visual Studio .NET installation folder\Microsoft.NET\FrameworkSDK\Tool Developers Guide\Samples\StartSamples.htm
states that you can self-compile the SMC compiler into a managed
compiler (Smcil.exe). Although the compilation succeeds, you cannot use the
generated compiler, Smcil.exe, to compile managed code. For example, if you
attempt to self-compile Smcil.exe to Smcil2.exe, the operation does not
succeed. RESOLUTION The primary aim of the SMC sample is to demonstrate how to
implement a compiler that targets the .NET Framework -- and the sample fulfills
that aim. The workaround for the self-compile issue described in the "Symptoms"
section of this article is left as an exercise for the reader of this sample
(using the resources provided in the SDK). STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft
products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
