Shawn Burke : Discussing the Release of .NET Source Code | jeffsand

excuse me - do you has a flavor?

This is slightly cool. But why do you have to load symbols for each assembly manually. Cant you just load the whole thing for us who have enough ram?

I think its because of the load it would put on the server, hosting the code. And for most debugging you would not need to look into the .net source code so I understand their choice.

I would however hope you can enable it always loading with the download version that is going to come out.

I think he meant that (last part of the interview questions). The download of the source code (whichever way they package it) will allow offline use of this as well (the "airplane" example).

Can't wait to use it (more than that, just looking at the .NET code and learning from that)

Nice

It would be cool if with the offline version the symbols would all be loaded automatically. I'm so going to install the offline version if the debuggin scenarios and integration is the same.

As I said before, I think this is a great move.

I have two questions:
1. Will this work with the Compact Framework too? I really hope it will.
2. Will we get the source to InternalCall functions? I'm guessing no, but it would be cool if we did.

A question came to my mind.

Will we see the C#/VB.net compiler opensourced at some point?

I liked the comment in the code that was shown..."accessibility stuff". Nice! Smiley

Can you have a symbol proxy?
