MethodRental.SwapMethodBody(Type, Int32, IntPtr, Int32, Int32) Method

Definition

Swaps the body of a method.

C#
public static void SwapMethodBody(Type cls, int methodtoken, IntPtr rgIL, int methodSize, int flags);

Parameters

cls
Type

The class containing the method.

methodtoken
Int32

The token for the method.

rgIL
IntPtr

A pointer to the method. This should include the method header.

methodSize
Int32

The size of the new method body in bytes.

flags
Int32

Flags that control the swapping. See the definitions of the constants.

Exceptions

cls is null.

The type cls is not complete.

methodSize is less than one or greater than 4128767 (3effff hex).

Examples

The following example illustrates how to swap a method body for a new body. It also illustrates how to obtain a method token for an existing method and how to construct a blob of bytes representing the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) code to be passed to SwapMethodBody.

C#
using System;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Reflection.Emit;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

class SwapMethodBodySample
{
    // First make a method that returns 0.
    // Then swap the method body with a body that returns 1.
    public static void Main(string [] args)
    {
    // Construct a dynamic assembly
    Guid g = Guid.NewGuid();
    AssemblyName asmname = new AssemblyName();
    asmname.Name = "tempfile" + g;
    AssemblyBuilder asmbuild = System.Threading.Thread.GetDomain().
        DefineDynamicAssembly(asmname, AssemblyBuilderAccess.Run);

    // Add a dynamic module that contains one type that has one method that
    // has no arguments.
    ModuleBuilder modbuild = asmbuild.DefineDynamicModule( "test");
        TypeBuilder tb = modbuild.DefineType( "name of the Type" );
        MethodBuilder somemethod = tb.DefineMethod
            ("My method Name",
             MethodAttributes.Public | MethodAttributes.Static,
             typeof(int),
             new Type[]{} );
    // Define the body of the method to return 0.
        ILGenerator ilg = somemethod.GetILGenerator();
    ilg.Emit(OpCodes.Ldc_I4_0);
    ilg.Emit(OpCodes.Ret);

    // Complete the type and verify that it returns 0.
    Type tbBaked = tb.CreateType();
    int res1 = (int)tbBaked.GetMethod("My method Name").Invoke( null, new Object[]{} );
    if ( res1 != 0 ) {
        Console.WriteLine( "Err_001a, should have returned 0" );
    } else {
        Console.WriteLine("Original method returned 0");
    }

    // Define a new method body that will return a 1 instead.
    Byte[] methodBytes = {
        0x03,
        0x30,
        0x0A,
        0x00,
        0x02,                // code size
        0x00,
        0x00,
        0x00,
        0x00,
        0x00,
        0x00,
        0x00,
        0x17,                // ldc_i4_1
        0x2a                // ret
    };

    // Get the token for the method whose body you are replacing.
    MethodToken somemethodToken = somemethod.GetToken();

    // Get the pointer to the method body.
        GCHandle hmem = GCHandle.Alloc((Object) methodBytes, GCHandleType.Pinned);
        IntPtr addr = hmem.AddrOfPinnedObject();
    int cbSize = methodBytes.Length;

    // Swap the old method body with the new body.
    MethodRental.SwapMethodBody(
                    tbBaked,
                    somemethodToken.Token,
                    addr,
                    cbSize,
                    MethodRental.JitImmediate);

    // Verify that the modified method returns 1.
    int res2 = (int)tbBaked.GetMethod("My method Name").Invoke( null, new Object[]{} );
    if ( res2 != 1 ) {
        Console.WriteLine( "Err_001b, should have returned 1" );
    } else {
        Console.WriteLine("Swapped method body returned 1");
    }
    }
}

Remarks

You cannot use this method to swap the body of a global method.

The method can only be called by the client that created the dynamic module that contains the type whose method's body is being swapped.
