Are you aware for example, that Microsoft implementations of C# and
all their related .NET technologies, are not conforming to the
specifications they emit themselves?
No, I'm not. I knew they didn't care about standards (C++ being the
best example I know) but this is new to me.
To what extend? Do you have some more information on it?
Actually, I read that on wikipedia a long time ago, but there is no
citation.
I guess that's not necessarily true then.
I confirm that there is such problem.
Some time ago I was investigating collections sublibrary. I needed
that because I was going to implement a new collection and I was not
entirely sure what the specifications meant so I checked the
implementation. But then I skipped that project and never returned to
that task.
What I found out is that implementation of collections did not throw
on errors as the interfaces declared. However I do not recall more
accurately what was the exact problem.
You can however find it out yourself. All you have to do is to
download .NET Reflector, open MS assemblies and look for
implementation inaccuracies.
