/* The pseudo algorithm for type initialization from the spec
Note it doesn't say anything about domains - only threads.

2. If the type is initialized you are done.
2.1. If the type is not yet initialized, try to take an 
     initialization lock.  
2.2. If successful, record this thread as responsible for 
     initializing the type and proceed to step 2.3.
2.2.1. If not, see whether this thread or any thread 
     waiting for this thread to complete already holds the lock.
2.2.2. If so, return since blocking would create a deadlock.  This thread 
     will now see an incompletely initialized state for the type, 
     but no deadlock will arise.
2.2.3  If not, block until the type is initialized then return.
2.3 Initialize the parent type and then all interfaces implemented 
    by this type.
2.4 Execute the type initialization code for this type.
2.5 Mark the type as initialized, release the initialization lock, 
    awaken any threads waiting for this type to be initialized, 
    and return.

/**

 * Returns an \c unmanaged->managed thunk that can be used to call

 *
 * The thunk's C signature closely matches the managed signature:
 *
 * C#: <code>public bool Equals (object obj);</code>
 *
 * C:  <code>typedef MonoBoolean (*Equals)(MonoObject*, MonoObject*, MonoException**);</code>
 *
 * The 1st (<code>this</code>) parameter must not be used with static methods:
 *
 * C#: <code>public static bool ReferenceEquals (object a, object b);</code>
 *
 * C:  <code>typedef MonoBoolean (*ReferenceEquals)(MonoObject*, MonoObject*, MonoException**);</code>
 *
 * The last argument must be a non-null \c MonoException* pointer.
 * It has "out" semantics. After invoking the thunk, \c *ex will be NULL if no
 * exception has been thrown in managed code. Otherwise it will point
 * to the \c MonoException* caught by the thunk. In this case, the result of
 * the thunk is undefined:
 *
 * <pre>
 * MonoMethod *method = ... // MonoMethod* of System.Object.Equals
 *
 * MonoException *ex = NULL;
 *

 *
 * if (ex) {
 *
 *    // handle exception
 *
 * }
 * </pre>
 *
 * The calling convention of the thunk matches the platform's default
 * convention. This means that under Windows, C declarations must
 * contain the \c __stdcall attribute:
 *
 * C: <code>typedef MonoBoolean (__stdcall *Equals)(MonoObject*, MonoObject*, MonoException**);</code>
 *
 * LIMITATIONS
 *
 * Value type arguments and return values are treated as they were objects:
 *
 * C#: <code>public static Rectangle Intersect (Rectangle a, Rectangle b);</code>
 * C:  <code>typedef MonoObject* (*Intersect)(MonoObject*, MonoObject*, MonoException**);</code>
 *
 * Arguments must be properly boxed upon trunk's invocation, while return
 * values must be unboxed.
