The CCI Metadata API allows applications to efficiently analyze or modify .NET assemblies, modules, and debugging (PDB) files. CCI Metadata supports the functionality of the .NET System.Reflection and System.Reflection.Emit APIs, but with much better performance. It also provides additional functionality that is not available in either .NET API.

CCI was created by Microsoft Research, and is currently not under active development and Microsoft is recommending using other tools (e.g. Roslyn).

Reflection.Emit equivalencies in CCI

Eric Lippert has said on the record here at SO, Reflection.Emit is too weak to use to build a real compiler. It's great for little toy compilation tasks like emitting dynamic call sites and expression trees in LINQ queries, but for the sorts of…
