Facile-api

Background

Initially the Facile API has been written to perform analysis of .Net assemblies, independent of the authoring .Net language.

Code Sample

try {
    //specify a path, where to find the assembly
    String assemblyName = "mscorlib.dll";
    String assemblyLocation = "../path/to/assembly/" + assemblyName;

    //reflect and load the assembly using the Facile factory
    Assembly assembly = Facile.loadAssembly(assemblyLocation);

    //perform your custom operations on the assembly...
    System.out.println("All defined types in " + assemblyName + ":\n");
    for(Type type : assembly.getAllTypes()) {
        System.out.println(type);
    }
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Current Focus

• Bug issue#4 has been partially resolved with r77, but there is still some work to do (to be solved until 1.0.4).
• Fix all FIXME and TODO's in the code base
• IL Source Renderer for round tripping: basic version, but pretty poor
• C# Renderer: not implementation so far
• Moving from Java6 to Java8

Other Issues

• FacileReader (RCP using the Facile API): There is an alpha version of that, see download section (still using API version 1.0.2). I might do a total re-write without Eclipse/RCP because of several plugin issues.

• Running CIL code in Java, emulating the VES: internal idea, collecting more infromation...

• Code analysis for uncaught exception: internal idea, collecting more infromation...

Downloads

• The most recent stable API version as Java archive (even though the master/trunk can be always seen as stable):
