using System;


class X
{
    public static void Main ()
    {
        "string".Replace ("abcd", "xyz");
    }
}

1. csc foo.cs -debug
2. mono --profile=coverage --aot --debug foo.exe
3. mono --debug foo.exe

You get NRE crash

Comment 1 Zoltan Varga 2017-10-13 14:28:33 UTC 
We probably shouldn't support aot+coverage right now.
Comment 2 Marek Safar 2017-10-13 14:36:25 UTC 
I am ok if we abort with some error message
Comment 3 Marek Safar 2017-10-13 14:37:00 UTC 
Thinking about it, does not profiling have the same problem?
Comment 4 Zoltan Varga 2017-10-27 03:23:10 UTC 
Profiling doesn't change the generated code, we do ip based sampling.
