44 MonoSymbolFile.cs and MonoSymbolWriter.cs.
46 2003-02-07 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
48 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: The symbol file is now a resource in the
49 assembly instead of a separate file.
51 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Did a few more cleanups, sort the line
52 number table and remove duplicate line numbers.
54 2003-02-05 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
56 Modified the symbol file format to speed up method looks by name
57 and cleaned this up a lot.
59 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: New public class. This is now a public class
60 and writes and reads the symbol file.

76 2002-10-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
78 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 27. Added a source
79 file table which is used to search a method by source file + line number.
81 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
83 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 26. Removed all the dynamic
84 stuff, this library now just deals with the compiler generated symbol table.
85 The dynamic stuff is private between the JIT and the debugger.
87 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
89 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 25. Added information about
92 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

110 about parameters and local variables.
112 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
114 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Use fullly qualified name for
115 System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.ISymbolWriter rather than `using' this
116 namespace. This allows us to use the name `ISymbolWriter' in our own
119 2002-09-18 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
121 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 21. Encode the source file
122 as a 4-byte length field followed by the UTF8 encoded string.

137 Make all classes and interfaces which don't need to be public internal.
139 2002-09-14 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
141 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Use only CLS-compliant types here, bumped version

154 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs (MonoSymbolTableReader.ImageFile): New
157 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Bumped version number to 18.
159 2002-08-27 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

166 open it read-only and to use a specially malloced area for all the
169 2002-08-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
171 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: New file. This is the reader for the
172 new symbol file format.
174 2002-08-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
176 * MonoSymbolTable.cs, MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs: New files. This
177 creates a binary application.dbg file which will be used by the
178 JIT to display source lines for exceptions.
180 * list.unix: Disabled the dwarf file writer in the build.
182 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
184 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Initialize): Added
185 assembly name argument. Since the symbol writer needs to read the
186 final assembly, we need to give it its full pathname.
188 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
190 * makefile.gnu, list.unix: Added.
192 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
194 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for types in referenced assemblies.
196 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

209 corresponding struct/class declarations.
211 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
213 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
215 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
217 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use a TAG_string_type when we're using GNU extensions.
218 Make static struct/class fields actually work. Provide a TAG_typedef for struct's
221 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
223 * IMonoSymbolWriter (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added custom `Initialize' method.
225 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (Initialize): The ISymbolWriter's `Initialize' method
226 is no longer supported and throws an exception.
227 (Initialize (string, string[])): New custom initialization function.
229 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DwarfFileWriter): Added `string[] args' argument
230 to the constructor to pass command line arguments.
232 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated for GDB 5.2.
234 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
236 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now get's the
237 AssemblyBuilder's `methods' array as third argument.
238 (OpenMethod): Use this array to get the method builder rather than using an
240 (get_method_builder): Removed this interncall.
242 2002-05-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
244 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Finished the type rewrite, put back strings and arrays.
246 2002-05-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
248 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added `FullName' and `Parameters'.
249 (ITypeHandle): New interface.
251 * DwarfFileWriter.cs: Largely reorganized the type writing code. Types are
252 now represented by ITypeHandle objects which are stored in a per-dwarf-writer
253 hash table. At the moment, all types still need to be in one compile unit due
254 to lacking support in gdb - but this new type code here already supports this.
256 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Moved all the subclasses to the top-level and made them
257 public, cleaned up the code, put everything into one compile unit.
258 (DefineLocalVariable): Added a version of this function which takes useful args.
260 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
262 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added `Sources' and `Methods'
265 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (WriteSymbolTable): New public method. Moved the
266 code that writes the "mono_line_numbers" section here from the LineNumberEngine.
268 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
270 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IVariable): Replaced Token with `ISourceMethod Method'.
272 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now has an additional
273 ModuleBuilder argument.
274 (OpenMethod): Immediately call the `get_method' interncall to get the MethodBase
275 from the token, then store the MethodBase instead of the token. The token may
276 still change during the metadata library's fixup process.
277 (DoFixups): When the image has been written to disk, call the GetToken () method
278 on all MethodBuilders and all ConstructorBuilders to get the final metadata tokens.
280 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
282 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Don't use GNU extensions and produce assembler
283 output which is free of comments and extra whitespaces so that it's suitable
286 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
288 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Replaced `MethodInfo MethodInfo' with
289 `MethodBase MethodBase' and added `Type ReturnType'. We're now correctly
290 dealing with constructors and not crashing anymore.
292 2002-05-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
294 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Write a special line number table which can be read
295 in by the metadata library to get line number information in backtraces.
297 2002-05-06 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
299 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Close): Use Assembly.LoadFrom (), not
300 AppDomain.Load () to load the assembly.
302 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
304 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
305 to implement C# support.
307 * csharp-lang.c, csharp-lang.h, csharp-mono-lang.c: Copy these into your GDB
308 source directory after applying the patch.
310 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
312 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInternalString): Removed.
314 2002-04-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
316 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Reflect latest MonoString changes.
318 2002-04-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
320 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): Added `Blocks' property and `AddBlock'
321 method to support nested blocks.
323 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Correctly handle nested blocks.
325 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieMember): Provide info for all fields, not just for
326 public ones; also added DW_AT_accessibility.
327 (DieVariable): Reflected latest debug-symfile.c changes.
329 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
331 * gdb-variable-scopes.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
332 to implement variable lifetimes.
334 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
336 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieVariable): Provide info about the variable's
337 lifetime using DW_AT_begin_scope and a new baulig extension DW_AT_end_scope.
339 2002-03-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
341 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Rewrote most of the string output function, do the
342 number->string conversion manually. It's now taking about 15 seconds to write
343 a symbol file for MCS, no longer more than a minute.
345 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added some profiling code, speeded things up, fixed
348 2002-03-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
350 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (CreateType): Return a `DieType'.
351 (RegisterType): Add the type to the type hash before creating dependency types
352 so we don't get recursion loops.
353 (RegisterPointerType): New func to register a "pointer to type" type.
354 (DieTypeDef, DiePointerType, DieArrayType, DieStringType, DieClassType): New
355 types; added support for strings, arrays and basic support for classes.
357 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
359 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Killed all methods in this interface, no longer needed.
361 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now takes a string
362 argument which is the full pathname of the assembly - you must call Close()
363 after the assembly has been written to disk since the symbol writer needs to
364 load the finished assembly to get its metadata.
366 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for enums and structs.
368 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
370 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for method parameters.
372 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
374 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Removed my custom OpenMethod(),
375 we're now using the ISymbolWriter's method.
376 (IVariable): Added `byte[] Signature' property.
378 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SetAssembly): New method. This must be called before
379 Close(); the assembly parameter is the already-written assembly, ie. it must
380 contain the full metadata.
381 (OpenMethod): Only take the token argument and set MethodInfo later in DoFixups.
382 (SetMethodSourceRange): You must call this function to tell the symbol writer
383 in which source file the method is defined.
384 (DefineLocal): Store the signature in the local.
385 (DoFixups): Use two new interncalls to set the SourceMethod's MethodInfo field
386 and the LocalVariable's Type field.
388 2002-03-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
390 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): New interface.
391 (ILocalVariable): Renamed this interface to IVariable.
392 (IVariable): Added Line, Type, Token.
393 (ILocalVariable, IMethodParameter): New interfaces, derive from IVariable.
394 (ISourceMethod): Added Blocks. Renamed FirstLine and LastLine to Start and End,
395 changed their type to ISourceLine. Removed CodeSize.
396 (ISourceLine): Renamed Line to Row, added Column. Added OffsetType and Offset.
398 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieLexicalBlock): New class.
399 (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieMethodVariable): New class.
401 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenScope, CloseScope): Implemented.
402 Reflected latest IMonoSymbolWriter interface changes.
404 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
406 * IAssemblerWriter.cs: New interface.
408 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: New class.
410 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use the IAssemblerWriter interface to make this class
411 platform and assembler independent.
413 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
415 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added FirstLine, LastLine, CodeSize and
418 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Implemented line number support.
420 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
422 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceFile, ISourceMethod, ISourceLine, ILocalVariable):
425 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenMethod): Take a System.Reflection.MethodInfo, not
428 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
430 This is an implementation of the System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.SymbolWriter
431 interface. It's still work in progress and not yet used anywhere.
433 There is some preliminary documentation in the source files and some more
434 docu in the README and README.relocation-table files.
436 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: New file.
437 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: New file.
438 * MonoSymbolDocumentWriter.cs: New file.
