1 2003-12-28 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
3 * MonoSymbolTable.cs (MethodEntry): Remove the
4 SourceFileIndex field, we already have the info.
6 2003-12-28 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
8 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Don't make the MethodIndexEntry
9 part of the method entry class, because it just
12 2003-12-28 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
14 * MonoSymbolTable.cs, MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Use
15 fewer arrays, dont use arraylists with structs.
17 2003-12-27 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
19 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: Much, much better string writing.
21 2003-12-20 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
23 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Fewer StringBuilder allocs.
25 2003-12-08 Zoltan Varga <vargaz@freemail.hu>
27 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Create ArrayLists only when needed.
29 2003-12-07 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
31 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: It is faster to do a linear search
32 than it is to make a hashtable. Even though the linear
33 search is O(n^2) while the hashtable is O(n), the allocation
34 cost for a hashtable is *very* high, especially when only
35 a few members will be added.
37 2003-09-06 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
39 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: Removed debugging output.
41 2003-08-05 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>

57 field. Specifies whether two local variables have the same name.
59 2003-03-13 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
61 Added basic support for lexical scopes. This is just to tell a
62 debugger that a local variable is only available in a specific
63 lexical scope and that another variable of the same name may exist
64 in another lexical scope. See debugger/test/TestLexicalScope.cs
67 * MonoSymbolTable.cs (LexicalScopeEntry): New class.
68 (LocalVariableEntry): Added `BlockIndex' field which specifies the
69 lexical scope of this variable.
71 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SourceBlock): Removed, we're now using
72 LexicalScopeEntry instead.
74 2003-02-22 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
76 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Incremented version number.
78 2003-02-22 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>

101 2003-02-18 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
103 * MonoSymbolFile.cs (MethodEntry.ThisTypeIndex): Renamed to
104 ClassTypeIndex; provide this for all methods so we can get the
105 class of static methods.
107 2003-02-10 Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>
109 * Mono.CSharp.Debugger.build: passing the /r using an 'arg' node works.
110 The <include> node wasn't getting to the compiler. This fixes build
113 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: Qualify which Min method. Fixes build breakage
116 2003-02-09 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
118 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.ctor): We don't need the
119 `mbuilder_array' anymore.
121 2003-02-09 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
123 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SourceFile): Derive from SourceFileEntry.
124 (SourceBlock): We don't need source lines here.
125 (SourceMethod): We're always constructed with source info.
127 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Added support for namespaces.
128 (NamespaceEntry): New struct.
129 (SourceFileEntry.DefineNamespace): New method.
130 (MethodEntry.BuildLineNumberTable): The table is already sorted,
131 so we don't need to do this here.
133 2003-02-09 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
135 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Ooops, I forgot to remove this.
137 2003-02-08 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
139 * MonoSymbolDocumentWriter.cs: Removed.
141 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SourceFile): Implement ISymbolDocumentWriter.

152 2003-02-07 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
154 * MonoSymbolFile.cs (MonoSymbolFile.ReadSymbolFile): New public
155 static method, returns null (without throwing an exception) if the
156 assembly doesn't have any debugging info.
158 2003-02-07 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
160 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Initialize): Removed the
161 custom initialization function.
163 * MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs: Removed; the code is now in
164 MonoSymbolFile.cs and MonoSymbolWriter.cs.
166 2003-02-07 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
168 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: The symbol file is now a resource in the
169 assembly instead of a separate file.
171 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Did a few more cleanups, sort the line
172 number table and remove duplicate line numbers.
174 2003-02-05 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
176 Modified the symbol file format to speed up method looks by name
177 and cleaned this up a lot.
179 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: New public class. This is now a public class
180 and writes and reads the symbol file.
182 * IMonoBinaryReader.cs: Removed.
184 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 29.
186 2003-01-17 Zoltan Varga <vargaz@freemail.hu>
188 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenMethod): Make it work on constructors.
190 2002-10-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
192 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 28.
193 (SourceFileEntry): Read the methods when they're needed.
194 (MethodSourceEntry): Made this a struct, not a class.
196 2002-10-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
198 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 27. Added a source
199 file table which is used to search a method by source file + line number.
201 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
203 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 26. Removed all the dynamic
204 stuff, this library now just deals with the compiler generated symbol table.
205 The dynamic stuff is private between the JIT and the debugger.
207 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
209 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 25. Added information about
212 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
214 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 24. Added a type index
215 table. Write the type of a local variable or a parameter as an index
218 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
220 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Remove all the unused interfaces.
222 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

227 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
229 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 22. Provide information
230 about parameters and local variables.
232 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
234 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Use fullly qualified name for
235 System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.ISymbolWriter rather than `using' this
236 namespace. This allows us to use the name `ISymbolWriter' in our own
239 2002-09-18 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
241 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 21. Encode the source file
242 as a 4-byte length field followed by the UTF8 encoded string.
244 2002-09-18 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
246 * IMonoBinaryReader.cs: New interface.

254 2002-09-14 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
256 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs, IMonoSymbolWriter.cs, MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs:
257 Make all classes and interfaces which don't need to be public internal.
259 2002-09-14 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
261 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Use only CLS-compliant types here, bumped version
264 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: Removed, this is now in the debugger.
266 2002-09-03 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
268 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs, IAssemblerWriter.cs, MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs,
269 README, README.relocation-table, csharp-lang.[ch], gdb-csharp-support.patch,
270 gdb-variable-scopes.patch: Removed.
272 2002-09-03 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
274 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs (MonoSymbolTableReader.ImageFile): New
277 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Bumped version number to 18.
279 2002-08-27 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

285 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Changed the file format in a way that allows us
286 open it read-only and to use a specially malloced area for all the
289 2002-08-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
291 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: New file. This is the reader for the
292 new symbol file format.
294 2002-08-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
296 * MonoSymbolTable.cs, MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs: New files. This
297 creates a binary application.dbg file which will be used by the
298 JIT to display source lines for exceptions.
300 * list.unix: Disabled the dwarf file writer in the build.
302 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
304 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Initialize): Added
305 assembly name argument. Since the symbol writer needs to read the
306 final assembly, we need to give it its full pathname.
308 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
310 * makefile.gnu, list.unix: Added.
312 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
314 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for types in referenced assemblies.
316 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
318 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for arrays.
320 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
322 2002-06-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
324 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInheritance): Make this actually work.
326 2002-06-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
328 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs, MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Put all TAG_subprogram's into their
329 corresponding struct/class declarations.
331 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
333 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
335 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
337 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use a TAG_string_type when we're using GNU extensions.
338 Make static struct/class fields actually work. Provide a TAG_typedef for struct's
341 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
343 * IMonoSymbolWriter (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added custom `Initialize' method.
345 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (Initialize): The ISymbolWriter's `Initialize' method
346 is no longer supported and throws an exception.
347 (Initialize (string, string[])): New custom initialization function.
349 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DwarfFileWriter): Added `string[] args' argument
350 to the constructor to pass command line arguments.
352 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated for GDB 5.2.
354 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
356 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now get's the
357 AssemblyBuilder's `methods' array as third argument.
358 (OpenMethod): Use this array to get the method builder rather than using an
360 (get_method_builder): Removed this interncall.
362 2002-05-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
364 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Finished the type rewrite, put back strings and arrays.
366 2002-05-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
368 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added `FullName' and `Parameters'.
369 (ITypeHandle): New interface.
371 * DwarfFileWriter.cs: Largely reorganized the type writing code. Types are
372 now represented by ITypeHandle objects which are stored in a per-dwarf-writer
373 hash table. At the moment, all types still need to be in one compile unit due
374 to lacking support in gdb - but this new type code here already supports this.
376 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Moved all the subclasses to the top-level and made them
377 public, cleaned up the code, put everything into one compile unit.
378 (DefineLocalVariable): Added a version of this function which takes useful args.
380 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
382 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added `Sources' and `Methods'
385 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (WriteSymbolTable): New public method. Moved the
386 code that writes the "mono_line_numbers" section here from the LineNumberEngine.
388 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
390 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IVariable): Replaced Token with `ISourceMethod Method'.
392 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now has an additional
393 ModuleBuilder argument.
394 (OpenMethod): Immediately call the `get_method' interncall to get the MethodBase
395 from the token, then store the MethodBase instead of the token. The token may
396 still change during the metadata library's fixup process.
397 (DoFixups): When the image has been written to disk, call the GetToken () method
398 on all MethodBuilders and all ConstructorBuilders to get the final metadata tokens.
400 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
402 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Don't use GNU extensions and produce assembler
403 output which is free of comments and extra whitespaces so that it's suitable
406 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
408 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Replaced `MethodInfo MethodInfo' with
409 `MethodBase MethodBase' and added `Type ReturnType'. We're now correctly
410 dealing with constructors and not crashing anymore.
412 2002-05-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
414 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Write a special line number table which can be read
415 in by the metadata library to get line number information in backtraces.
417 2002-05-06 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
419 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Close): Use Assembly.LoadFrom (), not
420 AppDomain.Load () to load the assembly.
422 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
424 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
425 to implement C# support.
427 * csharp-lang.c, csharp-lang.h, csharp-mono-lang.c: Copy these into your GDB
428 source directory after applying the patch.
430 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
432 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInternalString): Removed.
434 2002-04-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
436 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Reflect latest MonoString changes.
438 2002-04-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
440 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): Added `Blocks' property and `AddBlock'
441 method to support nested blocks.
443 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Correctly handle nested blocks.
445 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieMember): Provide info for all fields, not just for
446 public ones; also added DW_AT_accessibility.
447 (DieVariable): Reflected latest debug-symfile.c changes.
449 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
451 * gdb-variable-scopes.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
452 to implement variable lifetimes.
454 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
456 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieVariable): Provide info about the variable's
457 lifetime using DW_AT_begin_scope and a new baulig extension DW_AT_end_scope.
459 2002-03-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
461 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Rewrote most of the string output function, do the
462 number->string conversion manually. It's now taking about 15 seconds to write
463 a symbol file for MCS, no longer more than a minute.
465 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added some profiling code, speeded things up, fixed
468 2002-03-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
470 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (CreateType): Return a `DieType'.
471 (RegisterType): Add the type to the type hash before creating dependency types
472 so we don't get recursion loops.
473 (RegisterPointerType): New func to register a "pointer to type" type.
474 (DieTypeDef, DiePointerType, DieArrayType, DieStringType, DieClassType): New
475 types; added support for strings, arrays and basic support for classes.
477 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
479 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Killed all methods in this interface, no longer needed.
481 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now takes a string
482 argument which is the full pathname of the assembly - you must call Close()
483 after the assembly has been written to disk since the symbol writer needs to
484 load the finished assembly to get its metadata.
486 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for enums and structs.
488 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
490 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for method parameters.
492 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
494 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Removed my custom OpenMethod(),
495 we're now using the ISymbolWriter's method.
496 (IVariable): Added `byte[] Signature' property.
498 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SetAssembly): New method. This must be called before
499 Close(); the assembly parameter is the already-written assembly, ie. it must
500 contain the full metadata.
501 (OpenMethod): Only take the token argument and set MethodInfo later in DoFixups.
502 (SetMethodSourceRange): You must call this function to tell the symbol writer
503 in which source file the method is defined.
504 (DefineLocal): Store the signature in the local.
505 (DoFixups): Use two new interncalls to set the SourceMethod's MethodInfo field
506 and the LocalVariable's Type field.
508 2002-03-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
510 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): New interface.
511 (ILocalVariable): Renamed this interface to IVariable.
512 (IVariable): Added Line, Type, Token.
513 (ILocalVariable, IMethodParameter): New interfaces, derive from IVariable.
514 (ISourceMethod): Added Blocks. Renamed FirstLine and LastLine to Start and End,
515 changed their type to ISourceLine. Removed CodeSize.
516 (ISourceLine): Renamed Line to Row, added Column. Added OffsetType and Offset.
518 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieLexicalBlock): New class.
519 (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieMethodVariable): New class.
521 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenScope, CloseScope): Implemented.
522 Reflected latest IMonoSymbolWriter interface changes.
524 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
526 * IAssemblerWriter.cs: New interface.
528 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: New class.
530 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use the IAssemblerWriter interface to make this class
531 platform and assembler independent.
533 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
535 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added FirstLine, LastLine, CodeSize and
538 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Implemented line number support.
540 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
542 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceFile, ISourceMethod, ISourceLine, ILocalVariable):
545 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenMethod): Take a System.Reflection.MethodInfo, not
548 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
550 This is an implementation of the System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.SymbolWriter
551 interface. It's still work in progress and not yet used anywhere.
553 There is some preliminary documentation in the source files and some more
554 docu in the README and README.relocation-table files.
556 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: New file.
557 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: New file.
558 * MonoSymbolDocumentWriter.cs: New file.
