Examples

This example shows how to emit a method body with the exception handler using ControlFlowBuilder:

// The following code emits method body similar to this C# code:

/* public static void ExceptionBlockTest(int x, int y)
   {
      try
      {
         Console.WriteLine(x / y);
      }
      catch (DivideByZeroException)
      {
         Console.WriteLine("Error: division by zero");
      }
   }
*/

public static InstructionEncoder ControlFlowBuilderDemo(MetadataBuilder metadata, 
    AssemblyReferenceHandle corlibAssemblyRef)
{
    var codeBuilder = new BlobBuilder();
    var flowBuilder = new ControlFlowBuilder();
    var encoder = new InstructionEncoder(codeBuilder, flowBuilder);

    // Get reference to System.Console
    AssemblyReferenceHandle systemConsoleAssemblyRef = metadata.AddAssemblyReference(
        name: metadata.GetOrAddString("System.Console"),
        version: new Version(4, 0, 0, 0),
        culture: default(StringHandle),
        publicKeyOrToken: default(BlobHandle),
        flags: default(AssemblyFlags),
        hashValue: default(BlobHandle));
    
    TypeReferenceHandle consoleTypeRefHandle = metadata.AddTypeReference(
        systemConsoleAssemblyRef,
        metadata.GetOrAddString("System"),
        metadata.GetOrAddString("Console"));

    // Get reference to void System.Console::WriteLine(int32)
    var methodSignature = new BlobBuilder();

    new BlobEncoder(methodSignature).
        MethodSignature(isInstanceMethod: false).
        Parameters(1, returnType => returnType.Void(), parameters => parameters.AddParameter().Type().Int32());

    BlobHandle sigBlobIndex1 = metadata.GetOrAddBlob(methodSignature);

    MemberReferenceHandle refWriteLineInt32 = metadata.AddMemberReference(
        consoleTypeRefHandle,
        metadata.GetOrAddString("WriteLine"),
        sigBlobIndex1);

    // Get reference to void System.Console::WriteLine(string)
    methodSignature = new BlobBuilder();

    new BlobEncoder(methodSignature).
        MethodSignature(isInstanceMethod: false).
        Parameters(1, returnType => returnType.Void(), parameters => parameters.AddParameter().Type().String());

    BlobHandle sigBlobIndex2 = metadata.GetOrAddBlob(methodSignature);

    MemberReferenceHandle refWriteLineString = metadata.AddMemberReference(
        consoleTypeRefHandle,
        metadata.GetOrAddString("WriteLine"),
        sigBlobIndex2);

    // Get reference to System.DivideByZeroException
    TypeReferenceHandle exceptionTypeRefHandle = metadata.AddTypeReference(
        corlibAssemblyRef,
        metadata.GetOrAddString("System"),
        metadata.GetOrAddString("DivideByZeroException"));
    
    LabelHandle labelTryStart = encoder.DefineLabel();
    LabelHandle labelTryEnd = encoder.DefineLabel();
    LabelHandle labelCatchStart = encoder.DefineLabel();
    LabelHandle labelCatchEnd = encoder.DefineLabel();
    LabelHandle labelExit = encoder.DefineLabel();

    flowBuilder.AddCatchRegion(labelTryStart, labelTryEnd, labelCatchStart, labelCatchEnd,
        exceptionTypeRefHandle);

    // .try {
    encoder.MarkLabel(labelTryStart);

    // ldarg.0
    encoder.OpCode(ILOpCode.Ldarg_0);

    // ldarg.1
    encoder.OpCode(ILOpCode.Ldarg_1);

    // div
    encoder.OpCode(ILOpCode.Div);

    // call void [System.Console]System.Console::WriteLine(int32)
    encoder.Call(refWriteLineInt32);

    // leave.s EXIT            
    encoder.Branch(ILOpCode.Leave_s, labelExit);
    encoder.MarkLabel(labelTryEnd);

    // } 
    // catch [System.Runtime]System.DivideByZeroException {
    encoder.MarkLabel(labelCatchStart);

    // pop
    encoder.OpCode(ILOpCode.Pop);
    
    // ldstr "Error: division by zero"
    encoder.LoadString(metadata.GetOrAddUserString("Error: division by zero"));

    // call void [System.Console]System.Console::WriteLine(string)
    encoder.Call(refWriteLineString);

    // leave.s EXIT            
    encoder.Branch(ILOpCode.Leave_s, labelExit);
    encoder.MarkLabel(labelCatchEnd);

    // } EXIT: ret
    encoder.MarkLabel(labelExit);
    encoder.OpCode(ILOpCode.Ret);
    
    return encoder;
}

Remarks

The ControlFlowBuilder class is used to create branches and exception blocks in a method body encoded by InstructionEncoder. For more information about emitting .NET assemblies, see the MetadataBuilder class documentation.
