.NET 10 is near

Is there any plan to migrate to .NET 10? You have already skipped .NET 9

[Tajbiul-Rawol]

As far as I know. @MichalStrehovsky always updates the project to newer lts versions.

.NET 10 is a LTS release

I dont know if this is what you are looking for but I have put together something basic here. Not as polished or featureful as bflat and doesnt support zerolib but works with the default System.Private.CoreLib.

[MichalStrehovsky]

.NET 10 based pre-release here: https://github.com/bflattened/bflat/releases/tag/v10.0.0-rc.1

If anyone would like to help out with known issues and testing, I would appreciate that.

I tested some of my small programs I write specifically for blfat and they seems to compile and run fine.
Runtime is now 140Kb less
Havent tested anything complex
What was that about reflection in notes?

[MichalStrehovsky]

It affects the --no-reflection switch. Previously things like typeof(Foo).ToString() worked, now not so much. One can still do typeof and some very basic operations with it, but upstream deleted the fallback paths that were making up fake data for some of these operations, so now they all throw.

Should #79 be closed? The effort seems to lead to nowhere.

I'm very interested in zerolib. But I also don't want memory leaks.

Hmm, having weird crash in my simply tool that patches the binary and resaves the file:
Fatal error: Arg_InvalidOperationException
It executes just fine, everything as expected, but when it exits it throws that.

FailFast("Done", (int)ErrorCode.ERROR_SUCCESS);

static void FailFast(string msg, int code)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"{msg}");
    if (OperatingSystem.IsWindows() && Console.Title == Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[0])
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Press any key to close the window.");
        Console.ReadKey();
    }
    Environment.Exit(code);
}

built as:

                "--no-reflection",
                "--no-stacktrace-data",
                "--no-globalization",
                "--no-exception-messages",
                "--optimize-space",
                "--no-debug-info",

[MichalStrehovsky]

Does it still fail like that when you remove --no-reflection?

[Kein]

No.
The issue is, --no-reflection cuts binary size by 20% in my case, which is very much desirable and I dont really use any reflection in my code, here is all the API/refs:

BitConverter.ToInt32()
File.Copy()
File.ReadAllBytes()
.AsSpan()
Path.ChangeExtension()
Path.Combine()
AppContext.BaseDirectory
OperatingSystem.IsWindows()
Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()
System.IO.FileInfo

I cba to look up source rn but the only thing I'm unsure about is AppContext.BaseDirectory however, it would have crashed earlier then, but the resulting binary runs until the very end as expected
