dotnet clr : Genericity support in IL

Please, is there anything written on genericity support in the Intermediate Language? I mean, something like the Tools Developers Guide in the SDK. Most of these documents refer to CIL v1.1 (Jun 2003), and only one of them (Metadata Unmanaged API) refers to genericity.

I'm interested in this because I'm writing a compiler. I hope I could make it using ILDASM & ILASM, but any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Ian,

Updated docs should be released eventually. In the meantime, I find
the best way to figure out the IL generics syntax is to write it in C#
or whatever high level language you prefer, and then ILDASM the
executable and look at the result.

You may also want to look at Opcode.def in the SDK Include directory,
which includes the new opcodes.
