13 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Initialize): Removed the
14 custom initialization function.

17 MonoSymbolFile.cs and MonoSymbolWriter.cs.
19 2003-02-07 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
21 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: The symbol file is now a resource in the
22 assembly instead of a separate file.
24 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Did a few more cleanups, sort the line
25 number table and remove duplicate line numbers.
27 2003-02-05 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
29 Modified the symbol file format to speed up method looks by name
30 and cleaned this up a lot.
32 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: New public class. This is now a public class
33 and writes and reads the symbol file.

47 (MethodSourceEntry): Made this a struct, not a class.
49 2002-10-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
51 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 27. Added a source
52 file table which is used to search a method by source file + line number.
54 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
56 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 26. Removed all the dynamic
57 stuff, this library now just deals with the compiler generated symbol table.
58 The dynamic stuff is private between the JIT and the debugger.
60 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
62 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 25. Added information about
65 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

83 about parameters and local variables.
85 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
87 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Use fullly qualified name for
88 System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.ISymbolWriter rather than `using' this
89 namespace. This allows us to use the name `ISymbolWriter' in our own
92 2002-09-18 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
94 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 21. Encode the source file
95 as a 4-byte length field followed by the UTF8 encoded string.

110 Make all classes and interfaces which don't need to be public internal.
112 2002-09-14 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
114 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Use only CLS-compliant types here, bumped version
117 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: Removed, this is now in the debugger.

127 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs (MonoSymbolTableReader.ImageFile): New
130 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Bumped version number to 18.
132 2002-08-27 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
134 * MonoSymbolTable.cs (MethodAddress): Removed `TrampolineAddress'.
136 2002-08-27 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
138 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Changed the file format in a way that allows us
139 open it read-only and to use a specially malloced area for all the
142 2002-08-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
144 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: New file. This is the reader for the
145 new symbol file format.
147 2002-08-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
149 * MonoSymbolTable.cs, MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs: New files. This
150 creates a binary application.dbg file which will be used by the
151 JIT to display source lines for exceptions.
153 * list.unix: Disabled the dwarf file writer in the build.
155 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
157 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Initialize): Added
158 assembly name argument. Since the symbol writer needs to read the
159 final assembly, we need to give it its full pathname.
161 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
163 * makefile.gnu, list.unix: Added.
165 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
167 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for types in referenced assemblies.
169 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

173 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
175 2002-06-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
177 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInheritance): Make this actually work.
179 2002-06-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

182 corresponding struct/class declarations.
184 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
186 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
188 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
190 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use a TAG_string_type when we're using GNU extensions.
191 Make static struct/class fields actually work. Provide a TAG_typedef for struct's
194 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
196 * IMonoSymbolWriter (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added custom `Initialize' method.
198 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (Initialize): The ISymbolWriter's `Initialize' method
199 is no longer supported and throws an exception.
200 (Initialize (string, string[])): New custom initialization function.
202 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DwarfFileWriter): Added `string[] args' argument
203 to the constructor to pass command line arguments.
205 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated for GDB 5.2.
207 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
209 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now get's the
210 AssemblyBuilder's `methods' array as third argument.
211 (OpenMethod): Use this array to get the method builder rather than using an
213 (get_method_builder): Removed this interncall.
215 2002-05-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
217 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Finished the type rewrite, put back strings and arrays.
219 2002-05-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
221 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added `FullName' and `Parameters'.
222 (ITypeHandle): New interface.
224 * DwarfFileWriter.cs: Largely reorganized the type writing code. Types are
225 now represented by ITypeHandle objects which are stored in a per-dwarf-writer
226 hash table. At the moment, all types still need to be in one compile unit due
227 to lacking support in gdb - but this new type code here already supports this.
229 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Moved all the subclasses to the top-level and made them
230 public, cleaned up the code, put everything into one compile unit.
231 (DefineLocalVariable): Added a version of this function which takes useful args.
233 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
235 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added `Sources' and `Methods'
238 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (WriteSymbolTable): New public method. Moved the
239 code that writes the "mono_line_numbers" section here from the LineNumberEngine.
241 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
243 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IVariable): Replaced Token with `ISourceMethod Method'.
245 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now has an additional
246 ModuleBuilder argument.
247 (OpenMethod): Immediately call the `get_method' interncall to get the MethodBase
248 from the token, then store the MethodBase instead of the token. The token may
249 still change during the metadata library's fixup process.
250 (DoFixups): When the image has been written to disk, call the GetToken () method
251 on all MethodBuilders and all ConstructorBuilders to get the final metadata tokens.
253 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
255 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Don't use GNU extensions and produce assembler
256 output which is free of comments and extra whitespaces so that it's suitable
259 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
261 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Replaced `MethodInfo MethodInfo' with
262 `MethodBase MethodBase' and added `Type ReturnType'. We're now correctly
263 dealing with constructors and not crashing anymore.
265 2002-05-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
267 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Write a special line number table which can be read
268 in by the metadata library to get line number information in backtraces.
270 2002-05-06 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
272 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Close): Use Assembly.LoadFrom (), not
273 AppDomain.Load () to load the assembly.
275 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
277 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
278 to implement C# support.
280 * csharp-lang.c, csharp-lang.h, csharp-mono-lang.c: Copy these into your GDB
281 source directory after applying the patch.
283 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
285 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInternalString): Removed.
287 2002-04-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
289 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Reflect latest MonoString changes.
291 2002-04-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
293 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): Added `Blocks' property and `AddBlock'
294 method to support nested blocks.
296 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Correctly handle nested blocks.
298 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieMember): Provide info for all fields, not just for
299 public ones; also added DW_AT_accessibility.
300 (DieVariable): Reflected latest debug-symfile.c changes.
302 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
304 * gdb-variable-scopes.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
305 to implement variable lifetimes.
307 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
309 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieVariable): Provide info about the variable's
310 lifetime using DW_AT_begin_scope and a new baulig extension DW_AT_end_scope.
312 2002-03-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
314 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Rewrote most of the string output function, do the
315 number->string conversion manually. It's now taking about 15 seconds to write
316 a symbol file for MCS, no longer more than a minute.
318 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added some profiling code, speeded things up, fixed
321 2002-03-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
323 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (CreateType): Return a `DieType'.
324 (RegisterType): Add the type to the type hash before creating dependency types
325 so we don't get recursion loops.
326 (RegisterPointerType): New func to register a "pointer to type" type.
327 (DieTypeDef, DiePointerType, DieArrayType, DieStringType, DieClassType): New
328 types; added support for strings, arrays and basic support for classes.
330 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
332 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Killed all methods in this interface, no longer needed.
334 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now takes a string
335 argument which is the full pathname of the assembly - you must call Close()
336 after the assembly has been written to disk since the symbol writer needs to
337 load the finished assembly to get its metadata.
339 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for enums and structs.
341 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
343 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for method parameters.
345 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
347 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Removed my custom OpenMethod(),
348 we're now using the ISymbolWriter's method.
349 (IVariable): Added `byte[] Signature' property.
351 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SetAssembly): New method. This must be called before
352 Close(); the assembly parameter is the already-written assembly, ie. it must
353 contain the full metadata.
354 (OpenMethod): Only take the token argument and set MethodInfo later in DoFixups.
355 (SetMethodSourceRange): You must call this function to tell the symbol writer
356 in which source file the method is defined.
357 (DefineLocal): Store the signature in the local.
358 (DoFixups): Use two new interncalls to set the SourceMethod's MethodInfo field
359 and the LocalVariable's Type field.
361 2002-03-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
363 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): New interface.
364 (ILocalVariable): Renamed this interface to IVariable.
365 (IVariable): Added Line, Type, Token.
366 (ILocalVariable, IMethodParameter): New interfaces, derive from IVariable.
367 (ISourceMethod): Added Blocks. Renamed FirstLine and LastLine to Start and End,
368 changed their type to ISourceLine. Removed CodeSize.
369 (ISourceLine): Renamed Line to Row, added Column. Added OffsetType and Offset.
371 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieLexicalBlock): New class.
372 (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieMethodVariable): New class.
374 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenScope, CloseScope): Implemented.
375 Reflected latest IMonoSymbolWriter interface changes.
377 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
379 * IAssemblerWriter.cs: New interface.
381 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: New class.
383 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use the IAssemblerWriter interface to make this class
384 platform and assembler independent.
386 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
388 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added FirstLine, LastLine, CodeSize and
391 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Implemented line number support.
393 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
395 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceFile, ISourceMethod, ISourceLine, ILocalVariable):
398 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenMethod): Take a System.Reflection.MethodInfo, not
401 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
403 This is an implementation of the System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.SymbolWriter
404 interface. It's still work in progress and not yet used anywhere.
406 There is some preliminary documentation in the source files and some more
407 docu in the README and README.relocation-table files.
409 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: New file.
410 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: New file.
411 * MonoSymbolDocumentWriter.cs: New file.
