Usually, during JIT +compilation, the static constructor is ran eagerly, so the value of +a static readonly field is known at compilation time and the compiler +can do a number of optimizations based on it. During AOT, instead, the static +constructor can't be ran, so this option can be used to set the value of such +a field and enable the same set of optimizations. +Type can be any of i1, i2, i4 for integers of the respective sizes (in bytes). +Note that signed/unsigned numbers do not matter here, just the storage size. +This option can be specified multiple times and it doesn't prevent the static +constructor for the type defining the field to execute with the usual rules +at runtime (hence possibly computing a different value for the field). .PP For more information about AOT, see: http://www.mono-project.com/AOT |
