Hello, I have to thank Microsoft to open-source the .Net library allowing me to read their code to get to the bottom of Microsoft's treatment (even I have already asserted the value at runtime) of default values for the System.Diagnostics.DefaultTraceListener. For those interested in reading this can find it here: DefaultTraceListener.cs <https://github.com/Microsoft/referencesource/blob/9da503f9ef21e8d1f2905c78d4e3e5cbb3d6f85a/System/compmod/system/diagnostics/DefaultTraceListener.cs> . The default value of property that determines the reaction of Debug.Assert is set here: assertuienabled <https://github.com/Microsoft/referencesource/blob/9da503f9ef21e8d1f2905c78d4e3e5cbb3d6f85a/System/compmod/system/diagnostics/AssertSection.cs> .
It is not true that Mono does not create an instance of DefaultTraceListener on start up otherwise code like this: DefaultTraceListener defListener = Debug.Listeners["Default"] as DefaultTraceListener; will produce a null value for defListener. It will be good if these classes and assemblies from Microsoft open-sources are incorporated verbatim into Mono to replace its inconsistent code. In this thread some one had pointed out to me that because I admitted routinely disassembling Microsoft's assemblies, in accordance to Mono's contribution rule <http://www.mono-project.com/Contributing#Important_Rules> , I cannot contribute. With Microsoft now open-sourcing their .Net library, what will happen to this "contribution rule"?
