Experimental CoreRT support #1476

jmacato · 2018-04-06T16:14:25Z

We will be tracking here all of the relevant info regarding AvaloniaUI's compile and runtime compatibility with CoreRT.

jmacato · 2018-04-06T16:21:10Z

Current Progress

Our sample app (courtesy of @wieslawsoltes) compiles successfully with some warnings on Windows, Linux CoreRT builds however are not fully tested due to MIT Kerberos library DSO's not being detected in Ubuntu by the ILCompiler.

On runtime however, we encountered a fatal exception regarding BooleanConverter in System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter namespace.

If you don't use Window Icons that doesn't happen (Windows only AFAIK)

@wieslawsoltes has successfully compiled and ran a native build (in debug configuration) of Draw2D with all features working (according to the author) thanks in part from the help given by @jkoritzinsky & @danwalmsley .

Generic types and reflection in general were not working in CoreRT. And due to a yet-to-find bug in either AvaloniaUI or CoreRT, we can't publish native builds in Release configuration as of the time when this progress report was written.

Managed to run partial control catalog using release publish.

Code: https://github.com/wieslawsoltes/Avalonia/tree/ef8f19c82dada5a5055e739c22bf1c3931192d54

From command-line in Avalonia\samples\ControlCatalog.NetCore directory:

dotnet publish -c Release -r win-x64 -o bin/win-x64-release -v m

copy %UserProfile%\.nuget\packages\skiasharp\1.57.1\runtimes\win7-x64\native\libSkiaSharp.dll

.\bin\win-x64-release\ControlCatalog.NetCore.exe

wieslawsoltes · 2018-04-07T17:17:19Z

So my current finding is that setting Boolean property IsEnabled="False" on e.g. Button control in Xaml causes exceptions in release publish.

So it seems the issue is with System.ComponentModel.BooleanConverter.

value = tc.ConvertFrom(service_provider, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, value);

The issue of Native Compilation in linux is fixed with dotnet/corert#5663. We'll just have to wait for a new ILCompiler package to be released

jmacato · 2018-04-09T13:21:23Z

Tested Avalonia app (the plain avalonia.mvvm template) and it has compiled successfully in linux (Ubuntu 16.04); unfortunately, an issue with DLLImport loading has prevented Avalonia.Gtk from starting. (relevant issue in CoreRT: dotnet/corert#5664)

Avalonia is now running natively in linux! (Kubuntu 16.04)

Finally managed to run Draw2D app in native release mode using Microsoft.DotNet.ILCompiler 1.0.0-alpha-26413-02:

m5x · 2018-04-15T14:05:55Z

Nice. How big is the executable? Is the startup time reduced significantly?

wieslawsoltes · 2018-04-15T14:20:36Z

About 29MB. Start-up time is greatly reduced, almost instant.

m5x · 2018-04-15T15:34:50Z

Thanks, that's great to hear. 29MB is also very good result considering the size of standard release build publish binaries is around 80MB. Hopefully it will be even better in the future when CoreRT matures.

MichalStrehovsky · 2018-04-15T19:44:07Z

You can likely get to less than 29 MB by tweaking the RD.XML used.

The CoreRT compiler normally starts compilation from the Main() and proceeds generating native code and runtime artifacts for everything that Main() needs. Then it goes looking for dependencies of those dependencies, etc. As a result, the compiler would not normally compile things that are not statically used.

This is a problem if the app uses reflection to find things that are otherwise not used. CoreRT wouldn't compile those things and since there's no JIT (and we don't carry the original IL anyway), the code will fail at runtime.

Using RD.XML to say that everything in all assemblies should be considered used is a relatively quick fix, but comes with a cost - potentially compiling things that really aren't used.

It's possible to tweak RD.XML at a finer granularity (going down to individual types). This might be tedious, but the reward is a smaller executable that only has code and data that is really needed.

jkoritzinsky · 2019-04-21T18:29:47Z

The dialog issue is due to dotnet/corert#4219

kekekeks · 2019-04-22T04:59:03Z

We might want to use SharpGenTools for COM interop on Windows. @jkoritzinsky Is it possible to define interfaces without C/C++ header files?

jkoritzinsky · 2019-04-22T05:01:19Z

You can manually define them but it’s not exactly pretty. You’d basically be writing the generated code. My suggestion would be for us to make another small project that maps the dialog interfaces from the headers and publishes to NuGet and then consume that library in Avalonia.

kekekeks · 2019-04-22T06:17:06Z

We'd need to do that for IDropTarget too. And several other interfaces.
Generating castxml-like XML file from some kind of C# definition and passing it to SharpGenTools would be better, I think.

Berrysoft · 2019-05-10T04:09:28Z

I succeeded in compiling my project by CoreRT on Windows and Linux, but failed in Max OS X because of the delegate marshalling here:

Avalonia/src/Avalonia.OpenGL/GlInterfaceBase.cs

Line 27 in 24d1539

    
           field.SetValue(this, Marshal.GetDelegateForFunctionPointer(proc, prop.PropertyType));

And according to this issue, maybe the delegates should be marked with UnmanagedFunctionPointerAttribute.

maxkatz6 · 2020-10-21T08:36:34Z

I had exception with missing "clrcompression.dll".
Workaround: dotnet/corert#5496 (comment)

maxkatz6 · 2020-10-21T08:37:43Z

Also need to mention https://github.com/teobugslayer/AvaloniaCoreRTDemo
Sample project and configuration works on Avalonia 0.9 and Avalonia 0.10 (latest master, with workaround for clrcompression.dll)

FrankenApps · 2020-10-21T09:26:22Z

Only out of curiosity: Is there any reason why something like this is not implemented yet? It is really the only thing stopping me from compiling my app to CoreRT...

FoggyFinder · 2020-10-21T11:17:08Z

You can use managed dialogs for now.

gleblebedev · 2021-05-12T20:58:47Z

Is it possible to use Avalonia in an old style UWP project?

I have errors like this when I try to build it:
1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\UWPNuGetPackages\microsoft.net.native.compiler\2.2.8-rel-28605-00\tools\Microsoft.NetNative.targets(801,5): error : Field 'XamlIlContext.Context._sp' from assembly 'Avalonia.Themes.Default' was not included in compilation, but was referenced in method 'XamlIlContext.Context.Avalonia.Markup.Xaml.IRootObjectProvider.get_RootObject$PST32()'.

Setting

doesn't help :(

maxkatz6 · 2021-05-13T15:53:23Z

@gleblebedev we don't officially support embedding Avalonia in UWP because of .NET Native limitations.
Most likely it is possible if you setup ".rd.xml" file correctly, but I don't know if anybody achieved doing it successfully.
CoreRT experiments might help you, but it's not the same as .NET Native.

gleblebedev · 2021-05-15T14:24:27Z

FYI: I was able to reduce number of errors from 440+ to only 62 by making all fields in Avalonia.Themes.Default.dll, Avalonia.Themes.Fluent.dll, Avalonia.Dialogs.dll public....

gleblebedev · 2021-05-15T22:45:45Z

Ok, I'm at last 20 errors and most of them look like this:

Error Method 'XamlIlHelpers.Avalonia.Data.TemplateBinding,Avalonia.Markup.Converter!Property()' will always throw an exception due to the missing method 'XamlIlHelpers.Avalonia.Data.TemplateBinding,Avalonia.Markup.Converter!Getter(object)' in assembly 'Avalonia.Themes.Default'. There may have been a missing assembly, or a dependency on a more recent Windows SDK release.

Why would the method be missing?

gleblebedev · 2021-05-15T23:16:34Z

Actually... making methods public also solves the problem. So I only have 2 errors left, the root one is:

C:\Users\gleb.nuget\packages\microsoft.net.native.compiler\2.2.8-rel-28605-00\tools\Microsoft.NetNative.targets(801,5): error : RHBIND : error RHB0011: Internal error: 'ch == L':'' at 'f:\dd\ndp\rh\src\tools\rhbind\makepdb.cpp:1136'

I guess this one should be reported to the native.compiler. Do you know where it is? Is it https://github.com/dotnet/corert/issues ?

jkoritzinsky · 2021-05-15T23:50:07Z

For .NET Native, you need to report on the VS Feedback site: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com
