Where can I see operator overloads of primitive types by using ILSpy?

Question

Just out of curiosity I was trying to find the relevant operator overloads for unary operators like +,-,* etc. for Int32 in MsCorLib.dll

I use ILSpy.

When I checked the System.Int32 struct definition, I could not see any operator overloading related.

Q: Do I look at the wrong place -then where should I look to see operator overloads for primitive types- or I should not even expect to see those methods?

Answer 1

The operators are part of C# and defined in the C# Language Specification.

Example:

7.7.2 Unary minus operator

[...] The predefined negation operators are:

• Integer negation:

  int operator –(int x);
  long operator –(long x);
  

  The result is computed by subtracting x from zero. [...]

• Floating-point negation:

  float operator –(float x);
  double operator –(double x);
  

  The result is the value of x with its sign inverted. If x is NaN, the result is also NaN.

• Decimal negation:

  decimal operator –(decimal x);
  

  The result is computed by subtracting x from zero. Decimal negation is equivalent to using the unary minus operator of type System.Decimal.
