1 2004-01-13 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
3 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SourceMethod.BuildLineNumberTable): Removed
4 it here since it's in MethodEntry again.
6 2004-01-13 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
8 * ChangeLog, MonoSymbolTable.cs: Reviewed Ben's patches. For
9 those which are not ok, I'll add detailed comments to the source
12 2003-12-28 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
14 [Revision 1.41, not approved. Martin]
15 * MonoSymbolTable.cs (MethodEntry): kill more
18 2003-12-28 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
20 [Revision 1.40, not approved. Martin]
21 * MonoSymbolTable.cs (MethodEntry): Remove the
22 SourceFileIndex field, we already have the info.
24 2003-12-28 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
26 [Revision 1.39, approved. Martin]
27 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Don't make the MethodIndexEntry
28 part of the method entry class, because it just
31 2003-12-28 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
33 [Revisions 1.37 and 1.38; not approved. Martin]
34 * MonoSymbolTable.cs (MethodEntry.BuildLineNumberTable): Removed.
36 * MonoSymbolTable.cs, MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Use
37 fewer arrays, dont use arraylists with structs.
39 2003-12-27 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
41 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: Much, much better string writing.
43 2003-12-20 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
45 [Revision 1.36, approved. Martin]
46 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Fewer StringBuilder allocs.
48 2003-12-08 Zoltan Varga <vargaz@freemail.hu>
50 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Create ArrayLists only when needed.
52 2003-12-07 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
54 [Revision 1.35, approved. Martin]
55 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: It is faster to do a linear search
56 than it is to make a hashtable. Even though the linear
57 search is O(n^2) while the hashtable is O(n), the allocation
58 cost for a hashtable is *very* high, especially when only
59 a few members will be added.
61 2003-09-06 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
63 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: Removed debugging output.
65 2003-08-05 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>

81 field. Specifies whether two local variables have the same name.
83 2003-03-13 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
85 Added basic support for lexical scopes. This is just to tell a
86 debugger that a local variable is only available in a specific
87 lexical scope and that another variable of the same name may exist
88 in another lexical scope. See debugger/test/TestLexicalScope.cs
91 * MonoSymbolTable.cs (LexicalScopeEntry): New class.
92 (LocalVariableEntry): Added `BlockIndex' field which specifies the
93 lexical scope of this variable.
95 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SourceBlock): Removed, we're now using
96 LexicalScopeEntry instead.
98 2003-02-22 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
100 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Incremented version number.
102 2003-02-22 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>

125 2003-02-18 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
127 * MonoSymbolFile.cs (MethodEntry.ThisTypeIndex): Renamed to
128 ClassTypeIndex; provide this for all methods so we can get the
129 class of static methods.
131 2003-02-10 Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>
133 * Mono.CSharp.Debugger.build: passing the /r using an 'arg' node works.
134 The <include> node wasn't getting to the compiler. This fixes build
137 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: Qualify which Min method. Fixes build breakage
140 2003-02-09 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
142 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.ctor): We don't need the
143 `mbuilder_array' anymore.
145 2003-02-09 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
147 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SourceFile): Derive from SourceFileEntry.
148 (SourceBlock): We don't need source lines here.

152 (NamespaceEntry): New struct.
153 (SourceFileEntry.DefineNamespace): New method.
154 (MethodEntry.BuildLineNumberTable): The table is already sorted,
155 so we don't need to do this here.
157 2003-02-09 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
159 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Ooops, I forgot to remove this.
161 2003-02-08 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
163 * MonoSymbolDocumentWriter.cs: Removed.
165 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SourceFile): Implement ISymbolDocumentWriter.

176 2003-02-07 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
178 * MonoSymbolFile.cs (MonoSymbolFile.ReadSymbolFile): New public
179 static method, returns null (without throwing an exception) if the
180 assembly doesn't have any debugging info.
182 2003-02-07 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
184 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Initialize): Removed the
185 custom initialization function.
187 * MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs: Removed; the code is now in
188 MonoSymbolFile.cs and MonoSymbolWriter.cs.
190 2003-02-07 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
192 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: The symbol file is now a resource in the
193 assembly instead of a separate file.
195 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Did a few more cleanups, sort the line
196 number table and remove duplicate line numbers.
198 2003-02-05 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
200 Modified the symbol file format to speed up method looks by name
201 and cleaned this up a lot.
203 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: New public class. This is now a public class
204 and writes and reads the symbol file.
206 * IMonoBinaryReader.cs: Removed.
208 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 29.
210 2003-01-17 Zoltan Varga <vargaz@freemail.hu>

220 2002-10-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
222 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 27. Added a source
223 file table which is used to search a method by source file + line number.
225 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
227 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 26. Removed all the dynamic
228 stuff, this library now just deals with the compiler generated symbol table.
229 The dynamic stuff is private between the JIT and the debugger.
231 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
233 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 25. Added information about
236 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
238 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 24. Added a type index
239 table. Write the type of a local variable or a parameter as an index
242 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
244 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Remove all the unused interfaces.
246 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

254 about parameters and local variables.
256 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
258 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Use fullly qualified name for
259 System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.ISymbolWriter rather than `using' this
260 namespace. This allows us to use the name `ISymbolWriter' in our own
263 2002-09-18 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
265 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 21. Encode the source file
266 as a 4-byte length field followed by the UTF8 encoded string.

278 2002-09-14 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
280 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs, IMonoSymbolWriter.cs, MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs:
281 Make all classes and interfaces which don't need to be public internal.
283 2002-09-14 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
285 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Use only CLS-compliant types here, bumped version
288 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: Removed, this is now in the debugger.
290 2002-09-03 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
292 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs, IAssemblerWriter.cs, MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs,
293 README, README.relocation-table, csharp-lang.[ch], gdb-csharp-support.patch,
294 gdb-variable-scopes.patch: Removed.
296 2002-09-03 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
298 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs (MonoSymbolTableReader.ImageFile): New
301 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Bumped version number to 18.
303 2002-08-27 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

310 open it read-only and to use a specially malloced area for all the
313 2002-08-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
315 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: New file. This is the reader for the
316 new symbol file format.
318 2002-08-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
320 * MonoSymbolTable.cs, MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs: New files. This
321 creates a binary application.dbg file which will be used by the
322 JIT to display source lines for exceptions.
324 * list.unix: Disabled the dwarf file writer in the build.
326 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
328 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Initialize): Added
329 assembly name argument. Since the symbol writer needs to read the
330 final assembly, we need to give it its full pathname.
332 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
334 * makefile.gnu, list.unix: Added.
336 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
338 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for types in referenced assemblies.
340 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
342 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for arrays.
344 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
346 2002-06-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
348 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInheritance): Make this actually work.
350 2002-06-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
352 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs, MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Put all TAG_subprogram's into their
353 corresponding struct/class declarations.
355 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
357 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
359 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
361 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use a TAG_string_type when we're using GNU extensions.
362 Make static struct/class fields actually work. Provide a TAG_typedef for struct's
365 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
367 * IMonoSymbolWriter (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added custom `Initialize' method.
369 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (Initialize): The ISymbolWriter's `Initialize' method
370 is no longer supported and throws an exception.
371 (Initialize (string, string[])): New custom initialization function.
373 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DwarfFileWriter): Added `string[] args' argument
374 to the constructor to pass command line arguments.
376 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated for GDB 5.2.
378 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
380 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now get's the
381 AssemblyBuilder's `methods' array as third argument.
382 (OpenMethod): Use this array to get the method builder rather than using an
384 (get_method_builder): Removed this interncall.
386 2002-05-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
388 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Finished the type rewrite, put back strings and arrays.
390 2002-05-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
392 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added `FullName' and `Parameters'.
393 (ITypeHandle): New interface.
395 * DwarfFileWriter.cs: Largely reorganized the type writing code. Types are
396 now represented by ITypeHandle objects which are stored in a per-dwarf-writer
397 hash table. At the moment, all types still need to be in one compile unit due
398 to lacking support in gdb - but this new type code here already supports this.
400 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Moved all the subclasses to the top-level and made them
401 public, cleaned up the code, put everything into one compile unit.
402 (DefineLocalVariable): Added a version of this function which takes useful args.
404 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
406 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added `Sources' and `Methods'
409 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (WriteSymbolTable): New public method. Moved the
410 code that writes the "mono_line_numbers" section here from the LineNumberEngine.
412 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
414 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IVariable): Replaced Token with `ISourceMethod Method'.
416 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now has an additional
417 ModuleBuilder argument.
418 (OpenMethod): Immediately call the `get_method' interncall to get the MethodBase
419 from the token, then store the MethodBase instead of the token. The token may
420 still change during the metadata library's fixup process.
421 (DoFixups): When the image has been written to disk, call the GetToken () method
422 on all MethodBuilders and all ConstructorBuilders to get the final metadata tokens.
424 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
426 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Don't use GNU extensions and produce assembler
427 output which is free of comments and extra whitespaces so that it's suitable
430 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
432 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Replaced `MethodInfo MethodInfo' with
433 `MethodBase MethodBase' and added `Type ReturnType'. We're now correctly
434 dealing with constructors and not crashing anymore.
436 2002-05-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
438 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Write a special line number table which can be read
439 in by the metadata library to get line number information in backtraces.
441 2002-05-06 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
443 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Close): Use Assembly.LoadFrom (), not
444 AppDomain.Load () to load the assembly.
446 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
448 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
449 to implement C# support.
451 * csharp-lang.c, csharp-lang.h, csharp-mono-lang.c: Copy these into your GDB
452 source directory after applying the patch.
454 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
456 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInternalString): Removed.
458 2002-04-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
460 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Reflect latest MonoString changes.
462 2002-04-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
464 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): Added `Blocks' property and `AddBlock'
465 method to support nested blocks.
467 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Correctly handle nested blocks.
469 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieMember): Provide info for all fields, not just for
470 public ones; also added DW_AT_accessibility.
471 (DieVariable): Reflected latest debug-symfile.c changes.
473 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
475 * gdb-variable-scopes.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
476 to implement variable lifetimes.
478 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
480 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieVariable): Provide info about the variable's
481 lifetime using DW_AT_begin_scope and a new baulig extension DW_AT_end_scope.
483 2002-03-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
485 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Rewrote most of the string output function, do the
486 number->string conversion manually. It's now taking about 15 seconds to write
487 a symbol file for MCS, no longer more than a minute.
489 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added some profiling code, speeded things up, fixed
492 2002-03-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
494 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (CreateType): Return a `DieType'.
495 (RegisterType): Add the type to the type hash before creating dependency types
496 so we don't get recursion loops.
497 (RegisterPointerType): New func to register a "pointer to type" type.
498 (DieTypeDef, DiePointerType, DieArrayType, DieStringType, DieClassType): New
499 types; added support for strings, arrays and basic support for classes.
501 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
503 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Killed all methods in this interface, no longer needed.
505 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now takes a string
506 argument which is the full pathname of the assembly - you must call Close()
507 after the assembly has been written to disk since the symbol writer needs to
508 load the finished assembly to get its metadata.
510 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for enums and structs.
512 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
514 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for method parameters.
516 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
518 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Removed my custom OpenMethod(),
519 we're now using the ISymbolWriter's method.
520 (IVariable): Added `byte[] Signature' property.
522 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SetAssembly): New method. This must be called before
523 Close(); the assembly parameter is the already-written assembly, ie. it must
524 contain the full metadata.
525 (OpenMethod): Only take the token argument and set MethodInfo later in DoFixups.
526 (SetMethodSourceRange): You must call this function to tell the symbol writer
527 in which source file the method is defined.
528 (DefineLocal): Store the signature in the local.
529 (DoFixups): Use two new interncalls to set the SourceMethod's MethodInfo field
530 and the LocalVariable's Type field.
532 2002-03-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
534 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): New interface.
535 (ILocalVariable): Renamed this interface to IVariable.
536 (IVariable): Added Line, Type, Token.
537 (ILocalVariable, IMethodParameter): New interfaces, derive from IVariable.
538 (ISourceMethod): Added Blocks. Renamed FirstLine and LastLine to Start and End,
539 changed their type to ISourceLine. Removed CodeSize.
540 (ISourceLine): Renamed Line to Row, added Column. Added OffsetType and Offset.
542 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieLexicalBlock): New class.
543 (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieMethodVariable): New class.
545 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenScope, CloseScope): Implemented.
546 Reflected latest IMonoSymbolWriter interface changes.
548 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
550 * IAssemblerWriter.cs: New interface.
552 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: New class.
554 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use the IAssemblerWriter interface to make this class
555 platform and assembler independent.
557 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
559 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added FirstLine, LastLine, CodeSize and
562 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Implemented line number support.
564 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
566 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceFile, ISourceMethod, ISourceLine, ILocalVariable):
569 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenMethod): Take a System.Reflection.MethodInfo, not
572 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
574 This is an implementation of the System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.SymbolWriter
575 interface. It's still work in progress and not yet used anywhere.
577 There is some preliminary documentation in the source files and some more
578 docu in the README and README.relocation-table files.
580 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: New file.
581 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: New file.
582 * MonoSymbolDocumentWriter.cs: New file.
