Depends on #143 and #144.
Part of #141.
Only the last two commits are new: the parity tests and the carve.
The two walks were near copies.
field.rsbyte-identical, bothpointer.rsfiles the same 160 lines apart from one dereference, class and field lookup line for line. All of it now lives in one privatemanagedmodule. The genuine differences sit behind aRuntimeenum, matched exhaustively, so a future runtime is a compile error at every divergence point. Everything else is written once. Public API stays byte-compatible on both sides, down toFusedIteratorvsDoubleEndedIteratoronclasses().The parity tests land first on purpose: hand-laid images of both runtimes' structures at real builds' offsets, pinning behavior before any code moved.
Choices worth knowing while reviewing. The internal field lookup returns the declaring class, unused for now, because a follow-up resolves inherited statics against the right static table and shaping the seam once was cheaper. Items in the private module are plain
pub, bounded by the module itself. The field entry size isstride, one name for mono'salignmentand IL2CPP'sstruct_size. Mono's field array read now null-checks the way IL2CPP's always did, observable in nothing.Two doc links to
Imagethat never resolved are fixed in passing.
