When is a method eligible to be inlined by the CLR?

Question

I\'ve observed a lot of \"stack-introspective\" code in applications, which often implicitly rely on their containing methods not being inlined for their correctnes

Answer 1

There's more information on inlining of MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod on this thread http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/pipermail/ozdotnet/2011-March/009085.html

Paraphrasing heavily, it states that the RefCrawlMark does NOT stop the calling method being inlined. However, RequireSecObject does have the side affect of stopping the caller being inlined.

In addition, the Assembly.GetCallingAssembly and Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly methods do NOT have this attribute.
