PostSharp

[Brettljausn]

Hello,

I'm currently using PostSharp v.1.0.8.359 and everytime I compile the solution with the correct assembly name in the assembly attribute

<Assembly: AOP.MeasurePerformance(AttributeTargetAssemblies:="MyAssembly")>

I got the following NullReferenceException:

Code: Select all

Fehler   378   Der Objektverweis wurde nicht auf eine Objektinstanz festgelegt.

As soon as I use an assembly name that does not exist, the solution compiles successfully, but that way of course no aspect is applied. Same exception if I use other AttributeTargets (e.g. AttributeTargetTypesAttribute) with valid strings. However if I use the aspect as a method attribute, it works completely fine.

Any idea?

btw my aspect is inherited from the OnMethodBoundaryAspect class.

kind regards

This is a bug, and it is related to the structure of the method to which it is applied.

The best would be to attach PostSharp to a debugger (using msbuild /p:PostSharpAttachDebugger=true) and tell me what is the value of the parameter 'method' of the method RestructureMethodBody on the top of the call stack, then send me a repro case containing this method. All that in a bug report.

Thanks!
