Creare CLR, AppDomain, si Reflection

Metadata: una din cele mai importante trasaturi ale .NET-ului
Metadata descrie tipul unui camp precum si metodele asociate acestuia.
Metadata:
contine informatia de care un tip de data are nevoie pentru a se defini;
este folosita de GC pentru a determina daca un obiect mai este valid in heap;
este folosita de utilitarele de dezvoltare pentru a construi help senzitiv utilizat in
momentul scrierii codului (vezi Intellisense);
este folosita in procesul de serializare si deserializare al obiectelor.
Actiunea de examinare a metadatei se numeste reflection.
Reflection permite dezvoltatorilor de a construi in mod dinamic aplicatii extensibile.
De exemplu, oricine poate scrie un tip de data si sa-l impacheteze intr-un assembly.
Cand altcineva foloseste acest tip, datorita informatiilor din metadata, un mediu de
dezvoltare (Visual Studio .NET, etc.) poate integra acest tip in cadrul proiectului si sa
afiseze proprietatile expuse de acest tip.
CLR modalitati de instantiere
Cadrul de lucru .NET ruleaza deasupra sistemului de operare. Acest lucru inseamna ca
.NET trebuie sa foloseasca tehnologii pe care Windows sa le inteleaga.
CLR a fost implementat ca un server COM continut intr-un DLL ; deci acesta are o
interfata COM standard, are atribuit un GUID. Toate aceste informatii sunt scrise in
registri in momentul instalarii serverului COM.
Definitiile pentru acest server se gasesc in MSCorEE.h (definitia interfetei
ICorRuntimeHost si definitiile GUID-urilor).
Pentru a crea o instanta a acestui server va trebui sa utilizam functia CorBindToRuntimeEx
in loc de functia CoCreateInstance.
Functia CorBindToRuntimeEx este implementata in MSCorEE.dll ce se gaseste in
subdirectorul System32 al sistemului de operare, dar serverul nu este in acest DLL.
Aceasta biblioteca este folosita pentru a determina versiunea corecta a CLR-ului ce se va
crea. Biblioteca MScorWks.dll contine versiunea pentru statii de lucru, iar MSCorSvr.dll
contine versiunea pentru server.
O aplicatie poate suprascrie valorile implicite necesare pentru crearea serverului plasand
informatii intr-un fisier de configurare XML, ca in exemplul urmator :
<configuration>
<startup>
<requiredRuntime version="v1.0.0.0" safemode="true"/>
</startup>
</configuration>
Daca safemode = false, atunci se incarca versiunea de CLR cea mai recenta ce este
compatibila cu versiunea aplicatiei noastre.
Ioan Asiminoaei
CLR. AppDomain. Reflection

21.01.2007
MS determina ce versiune de CLR este compatibila cu alte versiuni prin crearea de

informatii in registri. Aceste se gasesc sub cheia
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\.NETFramework\Policy
Functia CorBindToRuntimeEx returneaza un pointer la interfata unmanaged
ICorRuntimeHost (definita in MSCorEE.h). Aplicatia poate apela metodele definte de
aceasta interfata pentru a initializa CLR.
Un singur proces poate crea numai o instanta a unui server COM CLR.
Dintre multele actiuni efectuate in timpul initializarii CLR, enumeram:
Se creaza zona heap managed in care vor fi alocate obiectele referinta si pe care o
va gestiona GC.
Se creaza un thread pool folosit de orice tip managed ale carui assembly sunt
incarcati in proces.
Se creaza un AppDomain. Un AppDomain poate fi asimilat ca un container logic
pentru o multime de assemblies. Primul AppDomain creat se numeste AppDomain
implicit. Acest AppDomain implicit este distrus cand procesul Windows se
termina. CLR poate crea mai multe AppDomain, in afara de cel implicit.
AppDomain
Sunt reprezentate de obiecte AppDomain.
Un proces poate contine mai multe AppDomain, iar un AppDomain poate contine unul sau
mai multe fire.
AppDomain sunt create cu metoda CreateDomain.
Instantele AppDomain sunt folosite pentru a incarca si executa assemblies.
Clasa AppDomain implementeaza o multime de evenimente ce permite aplicatiilor sa
raspunda cand un assembly este incarcat, cand un AppDomain este descarcat sau cand este
lansata o exceptie necunoscuta.
Aceasta clasa implementeaza MarshalByRefObject, si interfetele _AppDomain si
IEvidenceFactory.
Interfata _AppDomain implementeaza o multime de evenimente ce permit aplicatiilor sa
raspunda cand un assembly este incarcat, un AppDomain va fi descarcat sau sa trateze
exceptii.
MarshalByRefObject este clasa de baza pentru obiectele ce comunica in afara
frontierelor aplicatiei prin schimbul de mesage folosind un proxy.
Obiectele ce nu sunt mostenite din MarshalByRefObject sunt implicit transferate
prin valoare.
Obiectele MarshalByRefObject sunt accesate direct in interiorul domeniului.
Pentru a realiza acest lucru se foloseste un proxy, ce este pasat aplicatiei remote.
Toate apelurile se realizeaza prin cadrul acestui proxy (tehnica asemanatoare si la
COM/DCOM).

Gets an Assembly that represents the

currently loaded assembly.
Remarks
The AssemblyLoadEventHandler delegate for this event indicates what assembly was
loaded.
To register an event handler for this event, you must have the permissions described
in the Permissions section. If you do not have the appropriate permissions, a
SecurityException occurs.
For more information about handling events, see Consuming Events.
Example
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] For this code example to run, you must provide the fully
qualified assembly name.
[C#]
using System;
using System.Reflection;
class Test {
public static void Main()
{

Clasa Evidence
Defineste multimea de informatii ce constituie intrare pentru deciziile politicii de
securitate. Clasa nu poate fi mostenita.
Obiectele de orice tip ce sunt recunoscute de politica de securitate reprezinta
evidence.
Politica de securitate este compusa din grupuri de cod; un assembly particular
(unitatea de baza pentru acordarea drepturilor de securitate) este un membru al unui
cod de grup daca satisface conditiile membrilor grupului de cod.
Evidence este multimea intrarilor pentru aceasta politica de securitate folosita
pentru a determina carui grup de cod ii apartine un anumit assembly.
Clasa Evidence este o colectie (vezi ICollection) ce pastreaza multimea obiectelor ce
reprezinta evidence.
Aceasta clasa tine doua multimi ce corespund sursei evidence : host evidence si
assembly evidence.
Cand se evalueaza permisiunile unui cod se folosesc aceste doua multimi.
Host evidence is provided by the host, and can only be provided by hosts
that have been granted the ControlEvidence permission. Typically, this is evidence
of the origin of the code and digital signatures on the assembly. Evidence about
origin typically includes Url, Site, and Zone evidence. Signatures refer to software
publisher (AuthentiCode X.509v3 signature) and strong name identities. Both
kinds of digital signature-based identity are built into the assembly, but must be
validated and passed to policy by the host; when loaded, the security system
verifies the signature. The system then creates the appropriate evidence and
passes it to policy only if the corresponding signature is valid.
Assembly evidence is part of the assembly itself. Developers or

administrators can attach custom evidence to the assembly to extend the set of
evidence for policy. Assembly evidence can only be added at the time of assembly
generation, which occurs before the assembly is signed. The default policy of the
security system ignores assembly-provided evidence, but policy can be extended
to accept it.

AppDomain se caracterizeaza prin:

Sunt izolate unele de altele un AppDomain nu poate vedea obiectele create de alt
AppDomain dar poate comunica cu tipuri si obiecte din alte AppDomain. Aceasta
caracteristica face ca AppDomain sa poata fi descarcate din proces. CLR nu are
posibilitatea de a descarca un singur assembly. Assemblies vor fi descrcati odata cu
AppDomain care le-a incarcat.
Pot fi configurate si securizate individual. Astfel se determina drepturile maxime
atribuite unui assembly ce ruleaza intr-un AppDomain. Putem gestiona securitatea
unui AppDomain folosind metoda SetAppDomainPolicy.
Clasa System.AppDomainSetup ne permite sa definim si sa interogam setarile unui
AppDomain. Aceste setari includ urmatoarele :
ApplicationName un string folosit pentru a identifica un AppDomain.
ApplicationBase un director unde CLR va cauta assemblies.
PrivateBinPath o multime de directoare unde CLR va cauta sa localizeze assmblies cu
nume slabe .
ConfigurationFile numele caii unui fisier de configurare ce contine reguli pe care CLR
le va utiliza pentru a localiza assemblies. Fisierul contine de asemenea setari pentru
remoting, aplicatii Web, etc.
LoaderOptimization un flag ce indica modul cum CLR trateaza assemblies incarcati :
ca domain neutral sau single-domain .
Observatie: S-ar putea sa fie periculos sa se ruleze mai multe aplicatii unmanaged intrun singur proces, pentru ca acestea pot avea acces la datele si codul din cadrul celeilalte
aplicatii.
Accesarea obiectelor in afara unui AppDomain
Codul dintr-un domeniu poate comunica cu tipuri si obiecte continute in alte domenii.
Majoritatea tipurilor sunt transferate prin valoare in cadrul altor domenii. Obiectul este
serializat in cadrul unui bloc de memorie si apoi transmis altui domeniu. Domeniul ce
primeste acest obiect il va deserializa. Domeniul destinatie nu are acces la obiectul
original.
Obiectele transmise prin valoare trebuie sa aiba atributul System.Serializable.
Deserializarea obiectului are ca efect incarcarea de catre CLR a tipului de assembly
necesar. Daca CLR nu poate incarca acel assembly, atunci deserializarea nu are loc si va fi
emisa o exceptie.
Tipurile ce sunt derivate din System.MarshalByRefObject pot fi de asemenea transmise
altor domenii. In acest caz se transmite o referinta la obiect. Obiectul original ramine in
domeniul sursa (acolo unde a fost creat obiectul).
Nu exista o corespondenta de 1-1 intre fire si AppDomain. Cand se executa un fir dintr-un
doemniu in alt domeniu, firul tranziteaza intre cele doua AppDomain, deci acesta este
executat in mod sincron. La un moment dat, un fir este considerat sa fie exact intr-un
domeniu.
Putem apela metoda statica GetDomain din System.Threading.Thread pentru a obtine o
referinta la un obiect System.AppDomain si a identifica domeniul unde se executa firul.
Cand un AppDomain este descarcat, toate firele din acest domeniu vor fi terminate, CLRul fortand o exceptie de tipul ThreadAbortException, de asemenea vor fi descarcate si
assemblies continuti in AppDomain.
Ioan Asiminoaei
12

21.01.2007
Evenimente AppDomain
Evenimentele pe care le putem trata sunt:
AssemblyLoad apare cand CLR incarca un assembly intr-un domeniu. Functia ce trateaza
evenimentul primeste un obiect System.Reflection.Assembly ce identifica assembly
incarcat.
DomainUnload - apare inainte ca AppDomain sa fie descarcat. Evenimentul nu apare
cand procesul ce contine AppDomain este terminat.
ProcessExit - apare inainte ca procesul sa se termine. Evenimentul este lansat numai
pentru AppDomain implicit.
UnhandledException - emis cand apare o exceptie intr-un AppDomain.
AssemblyResolve apare cand CLR nu poate localiza un assembly cerut de un domeniu.
Functia ce trateaza evenimentul primeste un string ce identifica numele assembly lipsa.
ResourceResolve acelasi lucru ca la AssemblyResolve, numai ca este vorba de o resursa.
TypeResolve Acelasi lucru ca mai sus, numai ca este vorba de un tip de data.
Din nou despre Reflection
Metadata este constituita dintr-o multime de tabele. Cand construim un assembly sau un
modul, compilatorul creaza o serie de tabele: tabela de definitie a tipurilor, tabela de
definitie a campurilor, tabela de definitie a metodelor, etc.
Spatiul de nume System.Reflection din FCL contine mai multe tipuri ce permit sa scriem
cod ce obtine informatii din aceste tabele. Tipurile din acest spatiu de nume ofera un
model obiect peste metadata continuta in assembly sau modul.
Cu ajutorul acestor tipuri putem enumera toate tipurile dintr-o tabela de definitie a
tipurilor. Pentru fiiecare tip putem obtine tipul de baza, ce interfete implementeaza.
De asemenea putem obtine campurile, metodele, proprietatile, atributele si evenimentele
unui tip.
Metoda reflection este cel mai des folosita cu clasele de biblioteci pentru a construi
ierarhia corecta a definitiei tipurilor.
Aceasta metoda poate fi folosita pentru a incarca un assembly in mod explict, apoi sa
construiasca un obiect de un anumit tip (tip gazduit de acest assembly) si apoi sa apeleze
metodele pe acest obiect (ceva asemanator cu LoadLibrary si GetProcAddress din Win32
API) se realizeaza legarea intarziata .
Obtinerea tipurilor unui assembly (reflection method)

Incarcare assembly ca fisiere de date

Metoda LoadFrom folosita in acest caz pentru a incarca un assembly furnizat ca parametru
in linia de comanda.
Presupunem ca avem doua assemblies: SomeTool.exe si Component.dll (un assembly ce
contine anumite componente pe care le foloseste SomeTool.exe si acestea sunt instalate in:
C:\SomeTool\SomeTool.exe
C:\SomeTool\Component.dll
Ioan Asiminoaei
16

21.01.2007
Presupunem ca mai exista un assembly cu acelasi nume, Component.dll dar situat in

radacina discului C:.
Utilizatorul va folosi SomeTools.exe pentru a incarca assembly C:\Component.dll si nu cel
din directorul curent.
C:\>C:\SomeTool\SomeTool.exe C:\Component.dll
SomeTool.exe va incarca assembly C:\Component.dll folosind metoda LoadFrom,
pasindu-i ca parametru argumentul din linia de comanda.
CLR va incarca acest assembly. Presupunem ca in metoda Main se face apel la o alta
metoda ce face referinta la un obiect din Component.dll.
Ce se va intimpla?
Va folosi CLR assembly incarcat sau va incarca assembly din directorul curent?
Deoarece assembly C:\Component.dll a fost incarcat ca un fisier , CLR nu poate sti ca
Component.dll
a
fost
incarcat,
si
ca
atare
va
incarca
assembly
C:\SomeTool\Component.dll.
Algoritmul pentru LoadFrom
La executia metodei LoadFrom, CLR deschide fisierul specificat si extrage informatii
referitaore la versiune, cultura si cheia publica din metadata fisierului, apoi intern CLR
apeleaza metoda Load, pasindu-i informatia de mai sus. Daca un asemenea assembly este
gasit, CLR compara calea completa a assembly-ului cu cea furnizata in LoadFrom si in caz
ca sunt identice, va incarca acel assembly.
Daca parametrii sunt diferiti sau daca Load nu gaseste un asemenea fisier, assembly este
considerat ca fiind fisier de date si ca atare nu constituie o parte normala a aplicatiei.
Utilizarea metodei LoadFrom este descurajata de catre documentatia MS, in principal pe
considerente de viteza de executie si pe faptul ca un assembly incarcat cu aceasta metoda
este considerat fisier de date , si deci nu face parte din AppDomain.
Construirea unei ierarhii a tipurilor derivate din Exception
Exemplul de mai jos afiseaza toate clasele ce sunt derivate in ultima instanta din
System.Exception.
Pentru a face acest lucru este necesar sa examinam tipurile din mai multe assemblies.
Aplicatia va trebui sa incarce in mod explicit toate assemblies pe care vrem sa le
scanam .

Descarcarea explicita a unui assembly: descarcarea unui AppDomain
CLR nu suporta abilitatea de a descarca un assembly. In loc de aceasta trebuie sa
descarcam un AppDomain ce are ca efect descarcarea tuturor assemblies din cadrul
acestuia.
Descarcarea unui AppDomain se face apeland metoda Unload, ce are drept parametru o
refrerinta la un AppDomain.
Important : Assembly care sunt incarcati intr-un AppDomain neutral nu pot fi descarcati
niciodata. Un AppDomain neutral este descarcat cand procesul se termina.
