[CoreFoundation] Fetch a few static values lazily. (#4924)
* [CoreFoundation] Fetch a few static values lazily.

This avoids using static constructors, and also avoids fetching the values
unless they're needed.

* Generate the code for _dispatch_data_destructor_free instead of using a manual binding.

* [CoreFoundation] Bind kCFBooleanTrue/kCFBooleanFalse using the generator.

Since the generator doesn't know about CFBoolean, bind as IntPtr instead, and
fix most callers to use the handle directly, instead of getting a CFBoolean
object and then immediately getting the handle.

* Add back comment.

* Update xtro.

* Fix typo check.

* Use complete path for the library in the Field attribute.

* Update xtro.

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
