Were you able to reproduce this issue with the upstream mono in dotnet/runtime? It doesn't look like this change is there so it might be worthwhile upstreaming the change unless they've fixed it in some other way. |

Nit, should the message include more info like type and interface/and method name?

This matches the existing error messages in the file so I'm not planning on changing this.

If the debugger is asked to invoke an interface or virtual method on a class the mono_object_get_virtual_method_internal will assert & abort (or crash). mono_object_get_virtual_method_internal assumes that it is being asked to invoke a virtual method on an instance that implements it. If that's not true it will assert & abort or access invalid memory if assertions are disabled. To protect against this we check if the this_arg can be cast to the interface or base class type. If it can then we should be safe to call mono_object_get_virtual_method_internal.
