Generating IL for double arrays

I’m writing some IL institutions for creating int and double arrays using System.Reflection.Emit name space.

For creating int array I’m using following code.

LocalBuilder arr = gen.DeclareLocal(typeof(int));
gen.Emit(OpCodes.Ldc_I4_1);
gen.Emit(OpCodes.Newarr, typeof(int));
gen.Emit(OpCodes.Stloc, arr);
gen.Emit(OpCodes.Ldloc, arr);
gen.Emit(OpCodes.Ldc_I4_0);
gen.Emit(OpCodes.Ldc_I4, 500);
gen.Emit(OpCodes.Stelem_I4);

gen.Emit(OpCodes.Ldloc, arr);
gen.Emit(OpCodes.Ldc_I4_0);
gen.Emit(OpCodes.Ldelem_I4);
gen.Emit(OpCodes.Call,typeof(Console).GetMethod("WriteLine",new Type[]{typeof(int)}));

It’s working as expected and prints 500 on the Console.

Same way I tried to create double array as shown below.

LocalBuilder arr = gen.DeclareLocal(typeof(double));
gen.Emit(OpCodes.Ldc_I4_1);
gen.Emit(OpCodes.Newarr, typeof(double));
gen.Emit(OpCodes.Stloc, arr);
gen.开发者_运维技巧Emit(OpCodes.Ldloc, arr);
gen.Emit(OpCodes.Ldc_I4_0);
gen.Emit(OpCodes.Ldc_R8, 500D);
gen.Emit(OpCodes.Stelem_R8);

gen.Emit(OpCodes.Ldloc, arr);
gen.Emit(OpCodes.Ldc_I4_0);
gen.Emit(OpCodes.Ldelem_I8);
gen.Emit(OpCodes.Call,typeof(Console).GetMethod("WriteLine",new Type[]{typeof(double)}));

Unfortunately this doesn’t work and when I inspect generated assembly using pereview it gave me following error.

Microsoft (R) .NET Framework PE Verifier.  Version  4.0.30319.1

[IL]: Error: [C:\temp\Research\Research\bin\Debug\MyMod.exe : Foo::Main][offset 0x00000012] Expected single di
mension array.

Furthermore, I inspected generated assembly using ildasm

.method privatescope static void  Main$PST06000001() cil managed
{
  .entrypoint
  // Code size       28 (0x1c)

  IL_0012:  stelem.r8

  IL_0016:  call       void [mscorlib]System.Console::WriteLine(float64)
  IL_001b:  ret
} // end of method Foo::Main

Do you have any idea?

LocalBuilder arr = gen.DeclareLocal(typeof(int));
gen.Emit(OpCodes.Ldc_I4_1);
gen.Emit(OpCodes.Newarr, typeof(int));
gen.Emit(OpCodes.Stloc, arr);

Why is the arr not of type int[]?

I am certain peverify would complain for both versions.

The fact that it runs for the first version is simply 'luck'*.

* The reason is much more complex.
