Changeset 6205 for trunk/sources

Timestamp:

Author:

Message:

#1522

• simplified check for EventHandler (by simply checking for delegate)
• special handling types which use a hashtable internally (dictionaries, hashset, hashtable, ...) (as discussed with swagner)
• added testcase which shows a stack overflow if ThreadLocal is included and compiler is on Debug (it does not happen in Release)

Location:

trunk/sources

Files:

• HeuristicLab.Common/3.3/ObjectExtensions.cs (modified) (4 diffs)
• HeuristicLab/3.3/Tests/AlgorithmExtensions.cs (added)
• HeuristicLab/3.3/Tests/CollectObjectGraphTest.cs (modified) (2 diffs)
• HeuristicLab/3.3/Tests/HeuristicLab-3.3.Tests.csproj (modified) (2 diffs)
