Conversation
Context: #8253 Context: #9343 We've had a number of reports about *hangs* when LLVM Marshal Methods are enabled (see also #8253), but we had been willing to accept having LLVM Marshal Methods enabled by default as it helps improve app startup time. However, [a customer reported a native crash][0] when LLVM Marshal Methods are enabled: > ![Thread Stack Trace][1] syscall at line 28 within libc __futex_wait_ex(void volatile*, bool, int, bool, timespec const*) at line 144 within libc sem_wait at line 108 within libc within libmonosgen-2.0.so (Build Id: …) within <anonymous:…> This native crash suggests "something going wrong" within MonoVM. We find this "scary" enough that we feel it is once again prudent to disable LLVM Marshal Methods by default in .NET 9, by setting the default value of `$(AndroidEnableMarshalMethods)`=False. Even though #9343 has a potential fix for the hang, we feel that we're too close to .NET 9 GA to validate in the wild. This feature will need to wait for .NET 10. 🙁 To explicitly enable LLVM Marshal Methods, set `$(AndroidEnableMarshalMethods)`=True in your App `.csproj`.
