Mono.Cecil does not set the HasFieldRVA field on a FieldDefinition when the InitialData property is set to non-null
See original GitHub issueI’m trying to use the FieldDefinition.InitialData property to emit a static array into an image using the .data declaration feature in ECMA-335.
However, it seems that any data assigned to this field is dropped and not emitted as a .data declaration in the image.
I know that Mono.Cecil supports round-tripping the InitialData field from a loaded assembly back to disk if it hasn’t been modified, but it seems that modifying it or assigning it on a new field is unsupported.

Hi @jkoritzinsky,
Thank you for filing this. That definitely sounds like a bug, which might be annoying because from a quick look that should not happen:

Any chance you could start a PR with a failing test?
Yes, I’ll send a PR with a targeted test and fix.
