MethodBody::InitLocals Property
Gets a value indicating whether local variables in the method body are initialized to the default values for their types.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Property Value
Type: System::Booleantrue if the method body contains code to initialize local variables to null for reference types, or to the zero-initialized value for value types; otherwise, false.
The InitLocals property refers to variables that are not explicitly initialized; that is, variables that are declared with syntax such as int x; in C# or Dim x As Integer in Visual Basic.
Reference variables are initialized to null by default. Numeric variables are initialized to zero.
The following code example defines a test method named MethodBodyExample and displays its local variable information and exception-handling clauses. The MethodBase::GetMethodBody method is used to obtain a MethodBody object for the test method. The MaxStackSize and InitLocals properties are displayed.
This code example is part of a larger example provided for the MethodBody class.
#using <System.dll> using namespace System; using namespace System::Reflection; public ref class Example { // The Main method contains code to analyze this method, using // the properties and methods of the MethodBody class. public: void MethodBodyExample(Object^ arg) { // Define some local variables. In addition to these variables, // the local variable list includes the variables scoped to // the catch clauses. int var1 = 42; String^ var2 = "Forty-two"; try { // Depending on the input value, throw an ArgumentException or // an ArgumentNullException to test the Catch clauses. if (arg == nullptr) { throw gcnew ArgumentNullException("The argument cannot " + "be null."); } if (arg->GetType() == String::typeid) { throw gcnew ArgumentException("The argument cannot " + "be a string."); } } // There is no Filter clause in this code example.
