A Rare Error

In the course of my research, I encountered the following error and was unable to find any reference to solutions.  However, this error is likely confined to programmers writing their own types using reflection or perhaps a buggy compiler.

PEVerify - "call to .ctor only allowed to initialize this pointer ..."

This error signifies that a constructor (.ctor) should call the constructor for itself or for the type it is extending; however, it is directly calling a different routine.  The following code is a rough sketch of the error condition.

class baseT  // implicitly derives from Object

{

    baseT() { }

}

class derT : baseT

{

    derT()

    {

        Object();  // calling a different constructor than base class

    }

}

For my work, changing the call from Object() to baseT() fixed the error.
