Tiny headers use a 6-bit length encoding. The following is true for all tiny headers:
-
No local variables are allowed
-
No exceptions
-
No extra data sections
-
The operand stack shall be no bigger than 8 entries
A Tiny Format header is encoded as follows:
| Start bit | Count of Bits | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 2 | Flags (CorILMethod_TinyFormat shall be set, see §II.25.4.4). |
| 2 | 6 | Size, in bytes, of the method body immediately following this header. |
