Re: [mono-cecil] Determining the base method for a virtual method

[Greg Young]

So you appear to have a few questions like this ... The code from the minimizer in MightyMoose already does alot of these types of things (and many are implemented as extension methods its from an old cecil so there might be newer methods added that make these redundant)

https://github.com/continuoustests/ContinuousTests/blob/master/src/AutoTest.Minimizer/Extensions/MethodDefinitionExtensions.cs (there are others if you look through). If nothing else its probably a good starting point for you.

Cheers,

}

In the above, the Foo.ToString call appears in IL as

callvirt    System.Object.ToString

Given the MethodDefinition of Foo.ToString, I want to get a MethodReference to the base method that will appear in IL (i.e. System.Object.ToString in this case).

Is there a good way to do this with Mono Cecil other than getting the DeclaringType and iterating up through BaseTypes, resolving them and checking their methods for signature matches?

Ah yes, I posted twice as I was trying to do it on mobile from a train...

GetInheritanceHierarchy looks promising, thanks for that. Will give it a go tomorrow
