Hello group,

I am using the unmanaged API to create assemblies, emitting methods
into it, adding VTableFixup-entries and then saving it to disk. Then I
use the managed methods from unmanaged code, using LoadLibrary/
GetProcAddress, which works fine. Pretty cool.

But..

The next step is to jump the generate-file-on-disk part and use
CeeFileGen's GenerateCeeMemoryImage() instead of saving it to disk and
this is where I am currently having issues.

My old code did GenerateCeeFile() in the end which wrote the HCEEFILE
to disk. I thought that GenerateCeeMemoryImage() could be used as a
replacement but it seems not.. see an excerpt of my code below and the
error message I get:

[ ... code which gets an ICeeFileGen instance and does emit-stuff
removed ... ]

void *p = NULL;
hr = ceefilegen->GenerateCeeMemoryImage(file, (void**)&p);

This fails with 183, "Error Already Exists" which I cannot make sense
out of. The sscli reference code for GenerateCeeMemoryImage() does not
return any such errors..

I would appreciate it if anyone with an insight into these things
could give me a hint or two on how to use the GenerateCeeMemoryImage
function.

For the archives..

It turns out you cannot set the output file name and then "change your
mind" and do GenerateCeeMemoryImage() so in my case I just had to
remove the call to SetOutputFileName() a bit earlier in the code and
it started working.
