System.Reflection does not (AFAIK) support reflecting on global methods in an assembly. At the assembly level, I must start with the root types.

My compiler can produce assemblies with global methods, and my standard bootstrap lib is a dll that includes some global methods. My compiler uses System.Reflection to import assembly metadata at compile time. It seems if I depend on System.Reflection, global methods are not a possibility. The cleanest solution is to convert all of my standard methods to class static methods, but the point is, my language allows global methods, and the CLR supports it, but System.Reflection leaves a gap.

ildasm shows the global methods just fine, but I assume it does not use System.Reflection itself and goes right to the metadata and bytecode.

Besides System.Reflection, is anyone aware of any other 3rd party reflection or disassembly libs that I could make use of (assuming I will eventually release my compiler as free, BSD licensed open source).

SOLVED: There is no gap, except in my knowledge. Thanks for pointing out GetModules, guys!
