Summary:                    Dependence compile result from order of source files
in the ncc command line
Description: 
If add source files of the project Nemerle.dll to ncc command line in
rundom order (not is set in make-th), Nemerle.dll does not processed by
NGen.

If to set (in the MSBuild project) the list of files in this case:
<Compile Include="lib\*.n" />

It result to generate following command line:

D:\MyProjects\RSDN\Nemerle\nemerle\boot\ncc.exe 
/no-color /no-stdlib /greedy-references:- 
/define:DEBUG;TRACE /debug+ /keyfile:misc\keys\Nemerle.snk 
/out:obj\Debug\Nemerle.dll /target:library 
lib\AssemblyInfo.n lib\concurrency.n lib\core.n lib\getopt.n
lib\hashtable.n 
lib\heap.n lib\icloneable.n lib\icollection.n lib\idictionary.n 
lib\idictionaryenumerator.n lib\input.n lib\internal.n
lib\internal-array.n 
lib\internal-numbered.n lib\LazyValue.n lib\linkedlist.n lib\list.n 
lib\listenumerator.n lib\macros.n lib\narray.n lib\nstring.n lib\oldapi.n

lib\option.n lib\pair.n lib\PipeReader.n lib\PipeWriter.n lib\queue.n 
lib\rlist.n lib\set.n lib\stack.n lib\tree.n 
/ref:C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\mscorlib.dll 
/ref:C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.dll 
/ref:C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.Xml.dll

If try NGen of this assembly will print following error message:
-------------------------------------------------------
Error compiling c:\Program Files\Nemerle\Nemerle.dll: Invalid pointer
(Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004003 (E_POINTER))
Invalid pointer (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004003 (E_POINTER))
-------------------------------------------------------

If to use order of files from make-file it’s generate following command
line:

D:\MyProjects\RSDN\Nemerle\nemerle\boot\ncc.exe 
/no-color /no-stdlib /greedy-references:- 
/define:DEBUG;TRACE /debug+ /keyfile:misc\keys\Nemerle.snk 
/out:obj\Debug\Nemerle.dll /target:library 
lib\internal-numbered.n lib\internal-array.n lib\internal.n lib\core.n 
lib\macros.n lib\getopt.n lib\hashtable.n lib\icloneable.n
lib\icollection.n 
lib\input.n lib\linkedlist.n lib\list.n lib\listenumerator.n lib\option.n

lib\queue.n lib\stack.n lib\tree.n lib\idictionaryenumerator.n 
lib\idictionary.n lib\heap.n lib\narray.n lib\nstring.n lib\pair.n 
lib\rlist.n lib\set.n lib\concurrency.n lib\AssemblyInfo.n lib\LazyValue.n

lib\PipeReader.n lib\PipeWriter.n lib\oldapi.n 
/ref:C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\mscorlib.dll 
/ref:C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.dll 
/ref:C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.Xml.dll

The assembly compiled in this way NGen’s successfully.

Script to test:
set NGen=%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ngen.exe
%NGen% uninstall Nemerle.dll
%NGen% install Nemerle.dll
pause

According to MS, it will be fixed in next release of .NET (no idea
which/when it will be).
But I'm closing, since we cannot do anything more with this.
