The Facile API

The Facile API is capable of reading (decompiling) .Net assemblies. Covering the metadata tables, the embedded types and methods, including their bodies as CIL (bytecode).

Background

Initially the Facile API has been written to perform analysis of .Net assemblies, independet 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 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

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).
• Running CIL code in Java, emulating the VES: internal idea, collecting more infromation...
• Code analysis for uncaught exception: internal idea, collecting more infromation...
