Description

« Hide

import System.Collections.Generic

class Person:
[property(Name)] _name = ""

l = List of Person()
l.Add(Person(Name: "Eric Idle"))
assert "Eric Idle" == l[0].Name

Currently this will trigger an internal compiler error in
ExternalGenericTypeDefinition.MakeGenericType. The solution is to
implement a new IType class, GenericTypeInstance, which can behave
like an instantiated generic type (this will also trigger need for
GenericMethodInstance, etc...).

I've made some nice progress here. Boo code can now declare, instantiate and call methods on MixedGenericTypes (generic types whose definitions are external but their parameters are internal). It's still very sketchy and missing a lot of the finer details, but it's certainly going in the right direction.
