Support C# generics in base types #424
Description
Consider the BouncyCastle-provided bcprov-ext-jdk15on-161.jar. This Java library contains a type equivalent to:
/* partial */ interface X509AttributeCertificate extends java.security.cert.X509Extension {
}Which looks fine enough, except that it implements the IX509Extension interface, which has two properties which are generic types:
partial interface IX509Extension {
ICollection<string> CriticalExtensionOIDs {get;}
ICollection<string> NonCriticalExtensionOIDs {get;}
}Unfortunately, generator's support for C# generic methods results in the resulting binding...not being valid C# code:
internal partial class internal class IX509AttributeCertificateInvoker : global::Java.Lang.Object, IX509AttributeCertificate {
IntPtr id_getCriticalExtensionOIDs;
public unsafe global::System.Collections.Generic.ICollection`1<global::System.String> CriticalExtensionOIDs {
get {
if (id_getCriticalExtensionOIDs == IntPtr.Zero)
id_getCriticalExtensionOIDs = JNIEnv.GetMethodID (class_ref, "getCriticalExtensionOIDs", "()Ljava/util/Set;");
return global::Android.Runtime.JavaSet.FromJniHandle (JNIEnv.CallObjectMethod (((global::Java.Lang.Object) this).Handle, id_getCriticalExtensionOIDs), JniHandleOwnership.TransferLocalRef);
}
}
}The string global::System.Collections.Generic.ICollection`1<global::System.String> is not a valid C# type -- the ICollection`1<global::System.String> needs to be ICollection<global::System.String> -- which prevents the binding from compiling. (Along with a host of other issues, all of which should be addressed as well.)
generator needs to be fixed so that this can be properly supported.
