In my scenario I compiled <code>gmcs</code> as a Class Library which is in turn integrated in my application (a Static Source Code Analyzer) - this works without problems! Hmm. Does your <code>gmcs</code> use the proper references or assemblies e.g. for the type <code>List</code>? Sorry for my late answer :( I was on vacation for a week 8)

Are you getting results like the ones below? I tried compiling this: <pre lang="csharp" line="1"> using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; namespace ConsoleApplication1 { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { List foo = new List(); foo.Add("Hello"); foo.Add("World"); foreach (string s in foo) { Console.WriteLine(s); } } } } </pre> And I get this: <pre lang="text"> Program.cs(12,17): error CS1502: The best overloaded method match for `System.Collections.Generic.List.Add(T)' has some invalid arguments Program.cs(12,17): error CS1503: Argument 1: Cannot convert from `string' to `T' Program.cs(13,17): error CS1502: The best overloaded method match for `System.Collections.Generic.List.Add(T)' has some invalid arguments Program.cs(13,17): error CS1503: Argument 1: Cannot convert from `string' to `T' Program.cs(15,13): error CS0030: Cannot convert type `System.Collections.Generic.List.Enumerator.Current' to `string' Compilation failed: 5 error(s), 0 warnings </pre> When I follow these steps, the resulting gmcs doesn’t seem to know how to do generics.

I tried compiling this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
 
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            List foo = new List();
            foo.Add("Hello");
            foo.Add("World");
 
            foreach (string s in foo)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(s);
            }
        }
    }
}

And I get this:

Program.cs(12,17): error CS1502: The best overloaded method match for
`System.Collections.Generic.List.Add(T)' has some invalid arguments
Program.cs(12,17): error CS1503: Argument 1: Cannot convert from `string' to `T'

Program.cs(13,17): error CS1503: Argument 1: Cannot convert from `string' to `T'
Program.cs(15,13): error CS0030: Cannot convert type
`System.Collections.Generic.List.Enumerator.Current' to `string'
Compilation failed: 5 error(s), 0 warnings
