reference-source

The Reference Source page for stringbuilder.cs has this comment in the ToString method: if (chunk.m_ChunkLength > 0) { // Copy these into local variables so that they // are stable even in the presence of ----s (hackers might do this) char[] sourceArray = chunk.m_ChunkChars; int chunkOffset = chunk.m_ChunkOffset; int chunkLength = chunk.m_ChunkLength; What does this mean? Is ----s something a malicious user might insert into a string to be formatted? In the CoreCLR repository you have a fuller quote: Copy these into local variables so that they are stable even in the presence of race

I am using Visual Studio 2013 and have a .NET 4.5.2 project. I have setup my settings according to following page: http://referencesource.microsoft.com/setup.html With this setup, I can see that all necessary symbols are downloaded and loaded but I cannot step into a code like the following: var cookieContainer = new System.Net.CookieContainer(); I am getting a Source Not Available message. I can step into the following code just fine: Console.WriteLine("test"); Do you have any idea why I can step into code from mscorlib.dll but cannot step into code from System.dll? and have a .NET 4.5.2
