An important reason to get the .NET 4.5 RTM: c# – What’s the cause of this strange bug? – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2012/08/16

The .NET 4.5 beta has a bug that manifests itself as an AV or an FatalExecutionEngineError in certain circumstances of String.Empty handling, which is fixed by the .NET 4.5 RTM that shipped earlier this month followed by Visual Studio 2010 RTM today.

Eric Lippert on this:

Thanks both to the original poster for reporting it here, and to Michael for his excellent analysis.

My counterparts on the CLR tried to reproduce the bug here and discovered that it reproduces on the “Release Candidate” version of the 64 bit CLR, but not on the final “Released To Manufacturing” version, which had a number of bug fixes post-RC. (The RTM version will be available to the public on August 15th, 2012.)

They therefore believe this to be the same issue as the one that was reported here:

Need some help: parsing almost well formed XML fragments: how to skip over multiple XML headers – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2012/08/16

If anyone knows a better solution than string search/replace, please let me know:

I’m required to write a tool that can handle the below XML fragment that is not well formed as it contains XML declarations in the middle of the stream.

The company already has these kinds files in use for a long time, so there is no option to change the format.

There is no source code available that does the parsing, and the platform of choice for new tooling is .NET 4 or newer preferably with C#.

This is how the fragments look like: Read the rest of this entry »
