Question by glap · May 09, 2018 at 04:31 PM · il2cpp generics aot

Why does IL2CPP replace the "new" with Activator.CreateInstance?

 private void FooA<T>() where T: new() {
     var t = new T();
 }

 public void FooB<T>() {
     FooA<SomeGenericClass<T>>();
 }

For some reason IL2CPP can't make AOT code for the SomeGenericClass constructor if we call FooB. Also I saw that the "new T()" was replaced by "Activator.CreateInstance". Is that "generic sharing"? If yes, how can I disable it for my project? But it will be nice to disable for all generic classes in some namespace.

Thanks for help.
