Overview

Mono Loader SoC Development Notes

SoC Goals and Milestones

• Completely wrap libpurple API in .NET bindings.
• Fix the Mysterious Seg Fault On Exit (tm).
• Re-examing and possibly re-implement signal-glue and API -glue code.
• Give .NET Purple objects the ability to actually update their C counterpart (or create one).

Mentor Goals/Objectives? (​grim)

• Implement signal chaining in Mono so Pidgin's signal handling doesn't get eaten up by the Mono runtime. See ​Mono Bug 75990.
• Fix the build system so that make can be run successfully with multiple jobs.

Loader Internals:

• There must be a better way for having the loader handle signals on behalf of .net plugins (will document the current implementation here).
• Right now delegates are invoked and just given an array of their data. Would be nice if we could explicitly state what they expect, e.g. OnBuddyStatusChanged(Buddy b, Status s)
