MSDN TV: CLR Method Dispatch Internals

Joe Duffy and I recently did an MSDN TV stint on Method Dispatch Internals. Joe concentrated on the static end of the spectrum, while I talked about late-bound binding and dynamic calling convention.

I also appeared with fellow Australian Microsofties at the recent Whidbey Ship party. Lots of fun!

  Hi
  
  I actually already started on LCG, based on your previous blog posts about the subject, but that video is a great introduction also.
  
  Can you answer me two questions?
  
  1)I'm using LCG to optimize method calls in a custom Rpc framework, but I've stumbled across a problem with generic methods. Is it possible to generate a method using LCG that receives a type array and calls a generic method with those type parameters? I mean to replace code like this:
  
  MethodInfo method;
  object[] parameters;
  Type[] type_parameters;
  method.MakeGenericMethod(type_parameters).Invoke(parameters);
  
  with
  
  DynamicMethod dm = SomeMethodThatGeneratesAGenericDynamicMethod(method);
  dm.Invoke(null, new object[] { type_parameters, parameters)});
  
  
  2) Is there a performance difference between DynamicMethod.Invoke and DynamicMethod.CreateDelegate and then later calling the delegate?
  
  Best regards,
  Gustavo Guerra
