• Inside C# 4.0: dynamic typing, optional parameters, covariance and contravariance

  Oct 31, 2008 at 10:59 PM

  I'm half way through, and I have a question.
  
  Say you have the following:
  
  dynamic x = ...
  
  x.M(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10);
  x.M(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,"a string");
  x.M(1,2,3,4,3.14159);
  x.M(DateTime.Now);
  
  Will the generated delegate check parameters one at a time? eg, like this:
  if (param1Type == typeof(int))
  {
     if (param2Type == ...)
     {
      ...
      if (param5Type == int)
      {...}
      else if (param5Type == double)
     { ..}
  } else if (param1Type == DateTime) {}
  
  Or will it check each one repeatedly?
  
  Also, will there be any sort of profile-guided optimisation in that delegate? Say that it notices  x.M(DateTime) is called the most, will it reorder the tests?

  Good thing you're not using this as a demonstration of the speed of Sliverlight. 55fps on a 3ghz machine with a 12 year old game?

  I just hope they make an x64 version of the framework; I don't care about anything else.

  They call it April the 1st

  
  April the 1st is 5mb, not 500.

  So it's all a joke? Great. Thanks for wasting 500mb.

  Pon,
  
  We will be addressing this issue (rediculously large downloadable video files as an only download option) in V4 (). I promise.
  
  Thank you for the feedback.
  
  
  Keep on posting,

  Awesome
  Btw, sorry for being rude; I just reinstalled Windows for what turned out to be a hardware problem, so I was a little pissed.

  Ok, new rule: Noone is allowed to call Australia "down under" anymore. It's almost as annoying as being asked about "putting shrimp on the barbie".

  Regarding X > 0 && Y > 0: What about passing in positive infinities?
