| Nov 29, 2014 at 16:35 | comment | added | Jules | @Euphoric I don't know about the .net frameworks suamere was talking about, but Spring certainly does do under-the-hood code modification. The most obvious example is its support for method-based injection (whereby it overrides an abstract method in your class to return a dependency it manages). It also makes extensive use of auto-generated proxies in order to wrap your code to provide additional behaviors (e.g. for automatically managing transactions). A lot of this is not actually related to its role as a DI framework, however. | |

Explaining how specifically it helps with each principle would be helpful. And of course leveraging something is not same as helping something happen (e.g. DI). | |
| Sep 19, 2014 at 16:30 | comment | added | Euphoric | @Suamere I'm not that experienced with IoC, but I never heard of IoC changing compiled code. Would you please provide information about what platforms/languages/frameworks are you talking about. | |
| Sep 19, 2014 at 15:05 | comment | added | Cerad | @Suamere - I think you may be using too broad a definition of IOC. The one I use does not modify compiled code. There are plenty of other non-IOC tools which also modify compiled code. Maybe your title should be more like: "Does modifying compiled code break ...". | |
| Sep 19, 2014 at 13:04 | comment | added | Suamere | It is my understanding of IOC Containers that in order to manage scope, laziness, and accessibility, it alters the compiled code to do things that break OOP/SOLID, but hides that implementation under a nice framework. But yes, it additionally opens other doors for incorrect use. The best answer to my question would be some clarification on how IOC Containers are implemented that adds or negates from my own research. | |
