Inconsistent GH_Document ctor across Mac and Win

I forgot to post the issue for a long time. The post is just for searching convenience or further improvement.

Under Windows, SDK and written here, GH_Document has a zero-parameter constructor

var doc = new GH_Document();

However, in the Mac version of GH, there’s no such ctor. The only available one is GH_Document(RhinoDoc). Rhino (namely Mono) would crash if you call the Windows version ctor.

Due to the nature of IL translation, you must separate two ctors in isolated methods. So in Pancake, I use the following code to target both platforms:

private static GH_Document NewEmptyDocumentMac()
{
    return (GH_Document)Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(GH_Document), new object[] { Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc });
}

private static GH_Document NewEmptyDocumentNormal()
{
    return new GH_Document();
}

private static GH_Document NewEmptyDocument()
{
    return Config.IsMono ? NewEmptyDocumentMac() : NewEmptyDocumentNormal();
}
