CommonlyUsedGenericInstantiations_HACK
NullableHelper_HACK<T>
SZArrayHelper_HACK<T>

这是看上去完全没有意义的代码啊... 而且其中调用 SZArrayHelper_HACK<T> 的地方传进去的参数是 null, 必然会抛出异常的:
private static void SZArrayHelper_HACK<T>(SZArrayHelper oSZArrayHelper)
{
oSZArrayHelper.get_Count<T>();
oSZArrayHelper.get_Item<T>(0);
oSZArrayHelper.GetEnumerator<T>();
}
{
oSZArrayHelper.get_Count<T>();
oSZArrayHelper.get_Item<T>(0);
oSZArrayHelper.GetEnumerator<T>();
}
不解的我Google之, 只搜到一篇相关的文章, 作者觉得这和JIT的编译效率有关, 和我的猜想也差不多, 但是没有任何地方调用它的方法啊.. 何况调用它还有抛出异常..
该不会是VM调用了它?
于是我想到了传说中的 SSCLI(Shared Source CLI, 就是共享源代码的CLI实现, 涵盖了.Net Framework (CLR, BCL, Compiler 的核心源代码)) ...

看完它的注释, 虽然不是太懂 (IBC是什么?), 但也大概有个答案了:
这个类存在的意义是为了让这些一般的泛型类型的 Native Code 能在 Native Image 中存在 (我们都知道安装.Net Framework的时候, 像 Mscorlib.dll 这样的程序集已经安装到了 GAC 中了), 避免了 JIT 在运行时进行编译 (生成泛型类型的 Native Code)而造成的效率损失.
注释中还提到, 下一个版本的 .Net CLR(4.0? 3.0? 谁知道呢..) 将不会有这个 Trick.. 开发人员将会使用另外一种泛型的实现方案.
关于 .Net 2.0 中的泛型在运行时是如何编译的, 可以参考 Introducing Generics in the CLR
