When inserting a lot of instructions, variables and method parameters into a method body that uses ldxxx.s and similar instructions to refer to existing instructions, variables and method parameters, eventually the offset or position of the item is silently truncated and no longer points to the intended item. Usually this just generates invalid or non-verifiable IL, but sometimes the result can be verifiable and yet incorrect, silently producing a difficult-to-discover bug. One of the two added tests demonstrates the latter problem. The PR changes the casts in CodeWriter.cs to checked, so that an
OverflowException
is thrown instead of writing a non-verifiable or erroneous module.
