Getting instances of generic types through the ApplicationManager is slow when the debugger is attached

Description (last modified by abeham)

On my machine with the VS debugger attached, it takes roughly two minutes for the call to e.g. ApplicationManager.Manager.GetInstances<HeuristicOptimizationProblem<IEvaluator, ISolutionCreator>>() to complete (it should be equally slow for any generic type).

The performance issue seems to be in LightweightApplicationManager.CheckTypeCompatibility(Type type, Type other) as well as in the SandboxApplicationManager:

if (type.IsGenericType && other.IsGenericType) {
  try {
    if (type.IsAssignableFrom(other.GetGenericTypeDefinition().MakeGenericType(type.GetGenericArguments())))
      return true;
  } catch (Exception) { }
}

Without debugger attached there is no noticeable performance penalty. What is the reason for this rather steep drop in performance?

  • improved performance of type discovery by moving compatibility check further up the chain (deep cloneable unit test time reduced from 32s to 18s)

Thx. I don't think we need the unit test in this case.
