C# emit call to generic method












3















Having the class



class C
{
public T Get<T>()
{
return default;
}

public void M()
{
int i = this.Get<Int32>();
}
}


I want to generate the body of M at runtime using Reflection.Emit and ILGenerator so that it exactly resembles what is shown above.





What I tried is



ilGenerator.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_0);
ilGenerator.Emit(OpCodes.Call, typeof(C).GetMethod(nameof(C.Get), BindingFlags.Instance));


which yields



ldarg.0
call instance !!0 C::Get<M0>(string)
// ^^
ret


but I need to get



ldarg.0
call instance !!0 C::Get<int32>(string)
// ^^^^^
ret


(note the different type parameters in the call to C.Get<T>)





When emitting a call to a generic cfunction, how do I pass the type of the generic parameter (i.e. get rid of the M0 and have it say int32 instead)?

          You need to substitute the type arguments with MakeGenericMethod:



          ilGenerator.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_0);
          ilGenerator.Emit
          (
          OpCodes.Call,
          typeof(C)
          .GetMethod(nameof(C.Get), BindingFlags.Instance)
          .MakeGenericMethod(typeof(int))
          );
