"As of Mono 2.0, AOT compilation is only supported for non-generic methods. support for generics is currently under development."

This was outdated info on the website, I've updated the page. Generics are supported with FullAOT nowadays.

Mono 2.0 is ancient, nowadays the version is 5.16. That webpage is not worth looking at.

So where should I look? It doesn't seem to be a particularly popular or well-documented topic. The best I've found is this [1].

Right, maybe the best way to figure out its completeness is just testing it. AOT has received a lot of love these days, the runtime accepts many flags when dealing with it, e.g. "fullaot".

FYI a Mono dev removed those old statements about AOT+generics from the page because he agreed with me that they were outdated.
