[DotGNU]pnet status on IA-64

[CH Gowri Kumar]

Hi rhys and all,
I have something to share with you all.
Well, pnet works almost fine on IA-64. It runs a lot of programs.

I have used the programs from Larry O'Briens Thinking in
C#(http://www.thinkingin.net/ticsharprc1.htm)  book examples
to run the .NET executables. I could run almost all of the programs except
a few.The attachment contains the rough details of the programs which are
not running.The details are running only on IA-64. I haven't compiled the
programs rather just used the executables provided.

Some of the bugs which i could guess from the outputs are:(the attachment
contains the exact program names and the wrong output)

1)The destructors are not called.
2)The initialization of static members is not done in the right order
3)There is still some bug in verification of calls.

But on the whole, i feel the code is written excellent. There are some
small bugs around which I will be trying to hunt down.

Also, is there any fixed testing framework which you are following to test
the engine+runtime? I mean writing small programs which emphasise on a
particular CIL instruction etc.

Regards,
Gowri Kumar

Chap 05:
-------
        StaticInitialization.exe
                The order of initialization seems to be reversed.
                It should be Table and Cupboard,but the o/p is Cupboard and 
table.
        
        ValuableResource.exe
                The destructors are not called.

        ValuableResource2.exe
                The destructor is not called.

        Beetle.exe
                The base class intitialization should take place before the 
derived
                class initialization. But it doesn't seem to be happening so, 
regarding
                the static member initialization of classes.

                Date lib has to be implemented.
