Add members accessible due ComVisibleAttribute handling
The linker was trimming an internal interface because it didn't see any uses, but it would be used by COM. The managed code passes the object implementing that interface to native code and the native code would QI for the interface. Runtime would return the CCW for the interface but that would be missing the necessary methods and native code AV'ed when calling it.
We should look at a heuristic for identifying these interfaces.
@jkotas suggests looking at the ComImportAttribute: I'm not sure that's sufficient. I think technically any COMVisible interface would fall in this bucket. I believe most interfaces are COMVisible by default, but @luqunl would know better here.

Skip entire assembly
Is it possible to skip an entire assembly from the xml descriptor file? If positive how?
Linker cannot remove unused static vars which have an initializer
Testcase:
using System;
public class Tests
{
public static int foo = 5;
public static void Main () {
Console.WriteLine ("Hello!");
}
}
Run with:
monolinker -a bug.exe
If = 5 is removed, the 'foo' variable is also removed.

Preserve more context for EventDataAttribute
Two common patterns for trace logging payload is using classes marked by [EventData] or using anonymous types: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/tracelogging/tracelogging-managed-quick-start . EventSource uses reflection to get to the properties of the payload.
The linker already preserves public instance methods of reachable types with [EventData] attribute: https://github.com/mono/linker/blob/master/linker/Linker.Steps/MarkStep.cs#L1012
It should do the same for reachable anonymous types.
win-x64 publish with Core3 Preview and VS2019 results in ""CheckEmbeddedRootDescriptor" task was not given a value for the required parameter "AssemblyPath""
From @stefanov-stefan on December 5, 2018 16:11
I have been trying to publish a plain dotnet new winforms app by following the steps here, but I end up with error: error MSB4044: The "CheckEmbeddedRootDescriptor" task was not given a value for the required parameter "AssemblyPath".
See attached image for the whole process.
I am running VS2019 Preview and have the following SDKs installed: https://www.screencast.com/t/29MbjIeY04
Any advice on how I can overcome this?

Add optimisation step for Invariant Arrays
Classes that don't pass their arrays out by reference; and only directly instantiate them (new T[n]
) (rather than setting the array field to something passed by argument or result of external call, could have their element stores changed from covariant stores to invariant stores.
From https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/23689#issuecomment-378283974
@Suchiman I like your idea of enabling this optimization without requiring code changes everywhere! We can start with implementing it in ILLinker to measure the benefit and prove its usefulness, and maybe later in Roslyn. We have taken the same journey for SkipLocalsInit. The implementation in ILLinker can:
- Do escape analysis to identify all arrays that are just used as internal implementation detail (that do not escape outside the assembly - assuming there is no private reflection) and that do not use array covariance
- Use alternative more efficient sequence for storing elements into them.
For example the store in coreclr List<T>.Add(T)
public partial class List<T>
{
private T[] _items;
public void Add(T item)
{
_version++;
T[] array = _items;
int size = _size;
if ((uint)size < (uint)array.Length)
{
_size = size + 1;
array[size] = item; // array element store
}
else
{
AddWithResize(item);
}
}
}
Could have the il changed from something like
ldloc.0
ldloc.1
ldarg.1
stelem !T // Covariant store
To something like
ldloc.0
ldloc.1
readonly.
ldelema !T
ldarg.1
stobj !T // Invariant store
Support for RuntimeReflectionExtensions.GetRuntimeMethod
Reading on Xamarin's IOS linking (https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/ios/advanced_topics/linker/), and I'm guessing this is the tool they use to link (right?), they write that reflection is not supported by the linker, but if nameof is used (see also discussion here: autofac/Autofac#841) can we add support for the linker to assume that the method in the nameof is being also being used and not strip it out?

Linker doesn't remove overridden methods in unused classes
The linker doesn't remove overridden methods even if no instances of the containing type are created,
which means the ctors are removed, so there is no way to create instances of the type.
This affects code in mscorlib, i.e. the override ModuleBuilder::GetTypes () is retained even if SRE is not used, causing a large part of SRE to also be retained, since GetTypes () ends up calling TypeBuilder::CreateType ().
Testcase:
using System;
public class ParentClass
{
public virtual void foo () {
}
}
public class ChildClass : ParentClass
{
// This ends up being retained
public override void foo () {
}
public void bar () {
}
}
public class Tests
{
public static void Main () {
var p = new ParentClass ();
var t = typeof (ChildClass);
Activator.CreateInstance (t);
p.foo ();
}
}
Single Linker config for .NET Native and Mono
I fully support the idea of a linker in .NET Core but please consolidate the linker directives. There's rd.xml for .NET Native and this new thing. Please pick one and use it for both toolchains. Otherwise we'll need to duplicate linker directives and that's going to lead to errors.

Linker incorrectly removes event implementation
Testcase:
public delegate void VectorChangedEventHandler<T>();
public interface IObservableVector<T>
{
event VectorChangedEventHandler<T> Foo;
void bar ();
}
class BaseFoo {
public event VectorChangedEventHandler<object> Foo;
public BaseFoo () {
}
}
class ClassFoo : BaseFoo, IObservableVector<object>
{
public void bar () {
}
}
class BaseFoo2 : IObservableVector<object>
{
public event VectorChangedEventHandler<object> Foo;
public BaseFoo2 () {
Foo ();
}
public void bar () {
}
}
public class Tests
{
public static void Main (String[] args) {
IObservableVector<object> f2 = new BaseFoo2 ();
f2.Foo += delegate () {};
IObservableVector<object> f = new ClassFoo ();
f.bar ();
}
}
Link with:
monolinker -a bug.exe -c link
In the resulting IL, the ClassFoo class implements IObservableVector, but neither it or its base type contains the implementations for the add_Foo/remove_Foo methods from IObservableVector.

General
The project in question is AutoMasshTik.
I invoke something like
dotnet publish -o somepath\files -r win10-x86 -c release /p:ShowLinkerSizeComparison=true
and get those errors.
dotnet restore
does not have issues and the project can be published/run just fine otherwise.
Note: you have to add latest ILLink.Tasks 0.1.5-preview-1841731 to AutoMasshTik.UI.csproj.
Copied from original issue: dotnet/coreclr#19896
Unobserved task exceptions only on linked apps
Please refer to my original issue on dotnet/corefx: https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/26830
After deeper analysis it turns out that only apps after ILLink.Tasks step suffer from this issue, as I couldn't reproduce it on normal output. I'm not entirely sure how that is possible considering the issue looks like runtime issue (and that got me fooled at first), but I suspect that mono linker could alter some default routines and make previously observed task being unobserved, or that it introduced some kind of race condition during the linking process.
I'm not much of a help here since I'm not entirely sure what could be the root cause, I hope you'll be able to reproduce it. I explained all details in above issue, as well as with code sample. Of course I'm using latest ILLink.Tasks version, 0.1.5-preview-1461378
.
If you'd like to see output of affected app, e.g. for analyzing output websocket dlls for comparison, feel free to check this one.
Thank you in advance for looking into this.

It looks like it incorrectly thinks the embedded resources are a reference to an external assembly, but they aren't.
Linker doesn't like Assembly names to be different from file names
If we have a file containing a module with a different name, the linker crashes in the mark step.
For example, in A.exe
if we have
.assembly B {}
.class B
extends [mscorlib]System.Object
{
...
.method private hidebysig static int32 Main(string[] args) cil managed
{
...
}
When A.exe is processed by the linker, the assembly is entered AssemblyCache as _assemblies["A"]
However, when the linker is marking the methods of class B, it looks for methods in assembly scope B
.
It cannot find it in the assembly-cache or a file named B.exe
/B.dll
and therefore fails.
I think the correct fix for this is to insert assemblies to the cache by assembly-name, and not file name.

I reproduced it by calling dotnet build -c Release -o out
with ILLink.Tasks 0.1.5-preview-1461378
twice to the same directory. Normally second build would just update the directory with new content, and therefore it's entirely valid, but mono linker seems to have some difficulties with that.
This issue is not reproducible if you manually remove out
directory before calling dotnet build
for the second time. I reproduced this one on Windows and had no luck doing the same on Linux.
Thank you in advance.

Unable to find resolved path for 'coreclr'
Description
NBxplorer is a netcoreapp2.1
referencing NBXplorer.Client, a library in the same project targetting netcoreapp2.1
.
Compiling NBXplorer with ILLink gives Unable to find resolved path for 'coreclr'
error.
Note: If NBXplorer.Client is targetting netstandard2.0
, it does not work either. If I target netstandard2.0
I get NBXplorer.Client depends on Microsoft.AspNetCore.App (>= 2.1.0-rc1) but Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 2.1.0-rc1 was not found
.
Despite the fact NBXplorer.Client does not depend on it.
Repro

IL Linker does not remove unused classes / methods
It is stated here that
The linker removes code in your application and dependent libraries that are not reached by any code paths
I am following these instructions. Before publishing the app I add unused class to the project:
echo internal class UnusedClass { private class UnusedNestedClass { private void UnusedMethod() { System.Console.WriteLine("This method is never called.");}}}> UnusedClass.cs
To make sure the linker processes the main assembly add these lines to the testapp.csproj
file:
<PropertyGroup>
<ExtraLinkerArgs>-c link -u link -t -l none -b true --skip-unresolved true --verbose</ExtraLinkerArgs>
</PropertyGroup>
My publish command:
dotnet publish -c release -r win-x64 -o out /p:ShowLinkerSizeComparison=true
After publishing decompile out/testapp.dll
(I use ILSpy).
Expected: UnusedClass is removed.
Actual: UnusedClass is still there.
dotnet --version: 2.1.300-preview2-008533
IL Linker from this package
Inconsistent assembly resolution via -x and -a
The assemblies provided via -a
argument and within the xml file provided via -x
are processed differently:
-a
: Accepts arguments of the formfile.exe
directly reads the file if it exists.
It also accepts justfile
and resolves the name as an assembly.
https://github.com/mono/linker/blame/master/linker/Mono.Linker/LinkContext.cs#L159-L168-x
: Does not acceptfiles.exe
form, just assembly names.
Processing the argument of -a
in two ways causes confusion, and results in some assemblies being processed twice with different names.
For example:
monolinker -a reflect.exe -x reflect.xml
Silently produces undesirable effect by
- processing the reflect.exe assembly twice and
- creating duplicate TypeDefinitions for all the types referenced in reflect.xml
This effectively nullifies reflect.xml file and causes unexpected output.
Some possible fixes are:
- Strip the extensions from
-a
arguments effectively causing (2) in this case - Always have
LinkContext::Resolve
resolve by name and not FileName

after adding ILLink.Tasks nuget package version 0.1.5-preview-1841731, it fails with the following error:
C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\2.1.500\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.CrossGen.targets(72,5): error NETSDK1016: Unable to find resolved path for '...\.nuget\packages\runtime.osx-x64.microsoft.netcore.app\2.1.6\runtimes\osx-x64\native\..\..\..\tools\crossgen.exe'. [....csproj]
Looks like its searching for crossgen.exe
for Mac version, instead of crossgen
.
I tried using older versions (0.14 preview) and it failed with error The "GetRuntimeLibraries" task failed unexpectedly.
I believe this is the same issue discussed in #308 which I think is resolved in later versions.
Use arcade to build linker
@marek-safar We would like the linker to participate in .NET Core product construction using https://github.com/dotnet/arcade. I'm hoping to do the work in a way that benefits mono as well as the dotnet product construction, and am looking for input on how to best accomplish that.
The arcade infrastructure uses wrapper scripts that download a bootstrap dotnet sdk and use its nuget/msbuild to restore and build a solution in the repo root. It has some conventions around directory structure, package dependencies, flowing dependencies between repos, etc. To what extent are you interested in reusing arcade infrastructure for the monolinker.exe (as opposed to illink and ILLink.Tasks) build? It seems there are options like:
- building with mono vs dotnet SDK
- arcade wrapper scripts vs Makefiles
- mono project jenkins vs Azure DevOps
- nunit vs xunit
I also noticed that https://github.com/mono/mono has a submodule dependency on mono/linker. It looks like there are dependencies on the source files in https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/master/mcs/tools/linker/monolinker.exe.sources and https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/master/mcs/tools/linker-analyzer/illinkanalyzer.exe.sources. Similarly for cecil at https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/c5b88ec4f323f2bdb7c7d0a595ece28dae66579c/mcs/class/Mono.Cecil/Mono.Cecil.dll.sources. I'm not familiar with the mono project's build.
- Are there any restrictions on what changes can be made to this repo's build? (Would you prefer the file layout to stay as-is, or may we move them around?)
I'd also like to use this as an opportunity to look into simplifying the configurations we use to build illink (and possibly monolinker). Currently, Mono.Linker/illink_Debug depends on Mono.Cecil/netstandard_Debug. The .NET SDK doesn't support configuration-specific dependencies, so we have hacks in place that explicitly inject the configuration into Mono.Linker and its dependencies. The workaround isn't so bad, but it gets worse every time we add another project (Mono.Cecil.Pdb/Mdb, an ILLink.Tasks.Tests project, etc.).
- I'd like to set up a build of the linker (and cecil, @jbevain ) that uses a normal SDK project (
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
) and supported mechanisms for publishing for different Target Frameworks. This means setting the TargetFramework independently of the configuration, and using only Debug/Release configurations. Is this a change you'd like me to pipe through the mono build as well, or should it be kept in a separate project file? It looks like it has been attempted for cecil at least in jbevain/cecil#442 and jbevain/cecil#527. @jbevain, it would be wonderful to get your opinion on this.
Using linker for a solution
Hi! I have a set of .NET Core projects which I output into same directory. I use self-contained deployment and equalize package versions with an extra script.
Is there a way I can benefit from using linker? Can I use it on a solution somehow?
Maybe it can have an option to exclude only completely unused assemblies.
Support list of files for references
It's not always convenient to provide a directory for references. Some times existing directories have too many other files and copying to a directory is excess work. Please add the ability to specify references by file.
Support for default interface methods
.NET Core 3.0 (and possibly .NET Standard 2.1) is adding support for non-abstract instance methods on interfaces in support of the C# 8.0 language feature. Spec here.
IL Linker will need to understand what this semantic means and:
- Be able to scan instance methods on interfaces
- If IL Linker has any sort of interface method resolution logic, this logic will need to be updated to understand the resolution to default interface methods
- Tests will have to be added
As an aside, C# 8.0 is also adding support for static methods and fields on interface types. The ECMA-335 standard has supported this for a while, but it's likely the scenario is untested in IL Linker (e.g. support for static constructors in interfaces, etc.).
Provide a clearer error message when IL Linker fails due to a native dependency

Copied from original issue: aspnet/Blazor#1784
The linker should root methods on COM interfaces when running with -r option
When running with -r the linker roots only methods visible from outside of the assembly (unlike with -a, which roots all methods in an assembly).
Methods on interfaces marked by System.Runtime.InteropServices.InterfaceTypeAttribute can be called from native code via COM-callable wrappers so they should be rooted.
We ran into this in dotnet/corefx#30092
Support a response file
Currently there is support to pass in a file for certain parameters but a pattern followed by most .NET tools is to pass in @foo.rsp
that has all the commandline options verbatim as if they were passed on the commandline. This is convenient for rerun and also handles command-line length limitations on various OSes.

Are there some way of detect what the specific motivation of the exception?
Building linker on windows requires Developer Prompt or Visual Studio 2015
After cloning this repository, I noticed that it requires VS2015 to build on Windows. Is there any chance we can enable building with VS2017 or VS2019 (likely just requires using vswhere to locate an installation)? I would prefer to not have to go install VS2015 just for this repository.
Automagically remove F# compilation resources
The linker can/should automatically remove any .NET manifest assembly resources named FSharpSignatureData.*
and FSharpOptimizationData.*
during linking.
These are only ever needed for F# compilation which doesn't happen on-device and given the aims of the linker it is reasonable to assume this data is unreachable.
My understanding is that removing these would trim about 1.5MB off the size of all applications using FSharp.Core.dll, and about 3MB off all applications using Elmish.XamarinForms.dll.
Here's an example of how the resources look in ILDASM:
.mresource public FSharpSignatureData.Elmish.XamarinForms
.mresource public FSharpOptimizationData.Elmish.XamarinForms
Thanks
How to whitelist third-party resources?
I'm using Humanizer library in my app in order to provide nice localization of TimeSpans
. I noticed that mono-linker (ILLink.Tasks 0.1.4-preview-1222833
) automatically removes Humanizer resources (those under e.g. pl/Humanizer.resources.dll
) as apparently they're not detected as being used. The core library itself (Humanizer.dll
) is being linked properly, but even its root resources (Humanizer.resources.dll
) are not.
I tried to root entire <assembly fullname="Humanizer" />
in order to "force" inclusion of the resources, but without much luck as despite of entire library being properly linked, its resources are still being removed. I also tried to root <assembly fullname="Humanizer.resources" />
, but since there is no such assembly (as those are resource files only), mono-linker can't locate them.
Is there any way to keep third-party resources (localization) files while still using mono-linker? Perhaps there is some switch I'm not aware of. If not, it'd probably be a good idea to add support for this.
Thank you in advance for response.
Dependency trees, or: why is System.Drawing.Primitives being deployed in a console app?
From dotnet/standard#703:
@voltagex wrote:
I've got a console app that I've turned on linking and trimming for. A complete standalone version targetting win-x64 is about 40MB, which isn't too bad I guess.
What I can't work out is why some of the runtime is being included in a simple app, e.g.
- System.Security.Claims.dll (unused)
- System.IO.Compression.dll (unused)
- System.Drawing.Primitives.dll (System.Drawing is removed by linking/trimming but this one isn't)
I'd like to be able to see why certain assemblies are being pulled in, and if they're not needed, get rid of them completely.
Add TypeDescriptor.GetConverter heuristic
System.ComponentModel.TypeDescriptor.GetConverter
can't properly work if these types are linked away. And it's reflection based, so linker is unable to find any references.
For now we are using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wieslawsoltes/Core2D/04f95ee8c83e1bc5d4246db805dedfaec3156e3d/apps/Core2D.Avalonia.NetCore/linker.xml configuration file, but that should be excluded on linker level, I think.
Emit deterministic output
Currently, the linker output is not deterministic since the generated assemblies contain a random guid.
Emitting a computed guid like csc does with /deterministic would help build systems avoid rebuilding things which depend on the linker outputs.
This will require changes in both cecil and the linker.
CodeOptimizations should be in its own file
For consumers who don't use Driver.cs (have our own Main
, it's inconvenient to have CodeOptimizations
which is used by LinkerContext
declared in Driver.cs.

This is the same bug I fixed/worked-around here: dotnet/standard#722
@nguerrera do you have an idea about a public contract we can have around this to avoid these issues in the future? Either we get everyone to agree on where to load NuGet from or we version the cache objects (like I did in my PR). The latter is less good since it means we don't benefit from the cache when we get out of sync.
Need a safe way to supply a long list of assemblies to link
While investigating #369, I found that the reason the linker was complaining that it couldn't find certain assemblies was because it was looking for malformed paths. Certain characters were missing from apparently random places in the middle of path strings.
The reason for this appears to be:
- Blazor's build config generates a command for the linker that includes
-a path1\Assembly1.dll -a path2\Assembly2.dll -a path3\Assembly3.dll ...
, where the list of assemblies is all those transitively reachable from the app's entrypoint assembly - All those assemblies can be in totally different directories because of how NuGet works. Therefore if the linker is to find them, we have to specify their locations explictly with an
-a path\AssemblyName.dll
entry for each one, or alteratively specify-d path
for each one, which is equally problematic. - The
Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.Features
assembly pulls in a long list of transitive dependencies, as do various other NuGet packages in real-world use. - The total length of the generated command, then, can easily be many thousands of characters, given that each dependency's path could be 100-200 chars.
- MSBuild has a longstanding bug whereby extremely long commands get corrupted, removing characters from arbitrary points in the middle: dotnet/msbuild#2530
- Thus the linker receives corrupted paths and fails
Proposed workaround:
- Is there any existing way to specify the paths to a large number of transitive dependencies without including them all in the command-line command? For example, do any of the linker config file formats allow us to give path hints for transitive dependencies? Blazor already generates a linker config file as part of its build process, so we could extend this to making it list all the dependencies and their paths.
- Or if not, would you be open to adding a further option to the linker, which is to let the user pass a file that gives the paths to all the dependencies, or perhaps just a list of directory paths in which to search for referenced assemblies?

Apparently, it removes something too aggressively. Would you be able to look at the issue, please? You can reproduce the same error by following the steps below:
- Clone my repo: https://github.com/TeamYARM/YARM-CLI
- Build the app with this command:
dotnet build -c Release -r win-x64
- Publish the app with this command:
dotnet publish -c Release -r win-x64 -o published /p:ShowLinkerSizeComparison=true
- Run the console app with this command:
yarm -i https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TeamYARM/YARM-CLI/master/samples/azuredeploy.yaml
Of course the error message above is only applicable for my case, but linker
has certainly impacts on publishing my app.
ILLink.Tasks fails on latest dotnet sdk
Using the 3.0 dotnet SDK, create a new project and add a reference to the latest illink.tasks.
C:\Users\ericstj\.nuget\packages\illink.tasks\0.1.5-preview-1841731\build\ILLink.Tasks.targets(511,11): error MSB4057: The target "_HandlePublishFileConflicts" does not exist in the project.
This was broken by dotnet/sdk@1936ebd /cc @peterhuene @dsplaisted
We either need to react to that change in the SDK or undo it.
This is related to discussion here: dotnet/sdk#2583
