Exposed coreclr_unity_profiler_get_managed_assembly_load_context API to get owning ALC for the AssemblyID
Motivation
It is not possible to obtain information about owning AssemblyLoadContext of native
Assembly's object.Managed
Assemblyobject does not have information about parentAssemblyLoadContextin managed data, as well as managedAssemblyLoadContextdoes not have data about own modules/assemblies in managed data. This information is stored only in native land as a part ofAssemblyBinder(m_ptrManagedAssemblyLoadContext member variable) and is stored when the managedAssemblyLoadContextinstance is initialized in managed code.At the same time ICorProfilerInfo set of APIs do not expose managed object handle for the
AssemblyIDobject which we can get hold of when inspecting object (ObjectID->ClassID->ModuleID->AssemblyID).In order to be able to attribute particular type to a particular managed
AssemblyLoadContextwe need to be able to retrieve ObjectHandleID of it from a nativeAssemblyIDvalue.Changes
Exposed
coreclr_unity_profiler_get_managed_assembly_load_contextwhich simply returnsm_ptrManagedAssemblyLoadContextfor a givenAssembly*instance.
