Vincent Dondain d819d25bff [modelio] Add missing MDLMesh constructors and fix xtro (#1826)
Fixes bug #52575: Missing ModelIO API
(https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=52575)

We turn the MDLMesh constructors into static ones because we don't want to lose the shape name.
Also, the signatures of these constructors differ so it would not be possible to use an enum to differentiate the shapes.

Introspection Tests

Introspection tests are executed on target (both simulator and device for iOS) or a specific version of OSX. The application proceed to analyze itself using:

  • System.Reflection for managed code; and
  • the ObjectiveC runtime library for native code

and compare the results. E.g. if using .NET reflection it can see a binding for a NSBundle type then it should be able to find a native NSBundle type using the ObjC runtime functions. Otherwise an error is raised...

Since the application analyze itself it must contains everything we wish to test. That's why the introspection tests needs to be built with the managed linker disable, i.e. "Don't link".

Pros

  • The tests always tell the truth, which can differ from documentation or header files;

Cons

  • Incomplete - Not everything is encoded in the metadata / executable;
  • Too complete - Not every truth is good to be known (or published), which requires creating special cases in the tests
