1 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
3 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 26. Removed all the dynamic
4 stuff, this library now just deals with the compiler generated symbol table.
5 The dynamic stuff is private between the JIT and the debugger.
7 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
9 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 25. Added information about
12 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
14 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 24. Added a type index
15 table. Write the type of a local variable or a parameter as an index
18 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

27 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
29 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 22. Provide information
30 about parameters and local variables.
32 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
34 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Use fullly qualified name for
35 System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.ISymbolWriter rather than `using' this
36 namespace. This allows us to use the name `ISymbolWriter' in our own
39 2002-09-18 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
41 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 21. Encode the source file
42 as a 4-byte length field followed by the UTF8 encoded string.
44 2002-09-18 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
46 * IMonoBinaryReader.cs: New interface.
48 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Use IMonoBinaryReader instead of binary reader.
50 2002-09-16 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
52 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 20.
54 2002-09-14 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
56 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs, IMonoSymbolWriter.cs, MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs:
57 Make all classes and interfaces which don't need to be public internal.
59 2002-09-14 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
61 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Use only CLS-compliant types here, bumped version
64 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: Removed, this is now in the debugger.
66 2002-09-03 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
68 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs, IAssemblerWriter.cs, MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs,
69 README, README.relocation-table, csharp-lang.[ch], gdb-csharp-support.patch,
70 gdb-variable-scopes.patch: Removed.
72 2002-09-03 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
74 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs (MonoSymbolTableReader.ImageFile): New
77 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Bumped version number to 18.
79 2002-08-27 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
81 * MonoSymbolTable.cs (MethodAddress): Removed `TrampolineAddress'.
83 2002-08-27 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
85 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Changed the file format in a way that allows us
86 open it read-only and to use a specially malloced area for all the
89 2002-08-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
91 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: New file. This is the reader for the
92 new symbol file format.
94 2002-08-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
96 * MonoSymbolTable.cs, MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs: New files. This
97 creates a binary application.dbg file which will be used by the
98 JIT to display source lines for exceptions.
100 * list.unix: Disabled the dwarf file writer in the build.
102 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
104 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Initialize): Added
105 assembly name argument. Since the symbol writer needs to read the
106 final assembly, we need to give it its full pathname.
108 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
110 * makefile.gnu, list.unix: Added.
112 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
114 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for types in referenced assemblies.
116 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
118 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for arrays.
120 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
122 2002-06-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
124 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInheritance): Make this actually work.
126 2002-06-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
128 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs, MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Put all TAG_subprogram's into their
129 corresponding struct/class declarations.
131 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
133 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
135 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
137 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use a TAG_string_type when we're using GNU extensions.
138 Make static struct/class fields actually work. Provide a TAG_typedef for struct's
141 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
143 * IMonoSymbolWriter (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added custom `Initialize' method.
145 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (Initialize): The ISymbolWriter's `Initialize' method
146 is no longer supported and throws an exception.
147 (Initialize (string, string[])): New custom initialization function.
149 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DwarfFileWriter): Added `string[] args' argument
150 to the constructor to pass command line arguments.
152 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated for GDB 5.2.
154 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
156 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now get's the
157 AssemblyBuilder's `methods' array as third argument.
158 (OpenMethod): Use this array to get the method builder rather than using an
160 (get_method_builder): Removed this interncall.
162 2002-05-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
164 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Finished the type rewrite, put back strings and arrays.
166 2002-05-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
168 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added `FullName' and `Parameters'.
169 (ITypeHandle): New interface.
171 * DwarfFileWriter.cs: Largely reorganized the type writing code. Types are
172 now represented by ITypeHandle objects which are stored in a per-dwarf-writer
173 hash table. At the moment, all types still need to be in one compile unit due
174 to lacking support in gdb - but this new type code here already supports this.
176 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Moved all the subclasses to the top-level and made them
177 public, cleaned up the code, put everything into one compile unit.
178 (DefineLocalVariable): Added a version of this function which takes useful args.
180 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
182 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added `Sources' and `Methods'
185 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (WriteSymbolTable): New public method. Moved the
186 code that writes the "mono_line_numbers" section here from the LineNumberEngine.
188 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
190 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IVariable): Replaced Token with `ISourceMethod Method'.
192 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now has an additional
193 ModuleBuilder argument.
194 (OpenMethod): Immediately call the `get_method' interncall to get the MethodBase
195 from the token, then store the MethodBase instead of the token. The token may
196 still change during the metadata library's fixup process.
197 (DoFixups): When the image has been written to disk, call the GetToken () method
198 on all MethodBuilders and all ConstructorBuilders to get the final metadata tokens.
200 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
202 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Don't use GNU extensions and produce assembler
203 output which is free of comments and extra whitespaces so that it's suitable
206 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
208 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Replaced `MethodInfo MethodInfo' with
209 `MethodBase MethodBase' and added `Type ReturnType'. We're now correctly
210 dealing with constructors and not crashing anymore.
212 2002-05-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
214 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Write a special line number table which can be read
215 in by the metadata library to get line number information in backtraces.
217 2002-05-06 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
219 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Close): Use Assembly.LoadFrom (), not
220 AppDomain.Load () to load the assembly.
222 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
224 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
225 to implement C# support.
227 * csharp-lang.c, csharp-lang.h, csharp-mono-lang.c: Copy these into your GDB
228 source directory after applying the patch.
230 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
232 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInternalString): Removed.
234 2002-04-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
236 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Reflect latest MonoString changes.
238 2002-04-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
240 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): Added `Blocks' property and `AddBlock'
241 method to support nested blocks.
243 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Correctly handle nested blocks.
245 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieMember): Provide info for all fields, not just for
246 public ones; also added DW_AT_accessibility.
247 (DieVariable): Reflected latest debug-symfile.c changes.
249 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
251 * gdb-variable-scopes.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
252 to implement variable lifetimes.
254 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
256 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieVariable): Provide info about the variable's
257 lifetime using DW_AT_begin_scope and a new baulig extension DW_AT_end_scope.
259 2002-03-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
261 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Rewrote most of the string output function, do the
262 number->string conversion manually. It's now taking about 15 seconds to write
263 a symbol file for MCS, no longer more than a minute.
265 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added some profiling code, speeded things up, fixed
268 2002-03-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
270 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (CreateType): Return a `DieType'.
271 (RegisterType): Add the type to the type hash before creating dependency types
272 so we don't get recursion loops.
273 (RegisterPointerType): New func to register a "pointer to type" type.
274 (DieTypeDef, DiePointerType, DieArrayType, DieStringType, DieClassType): New
275 types; added support for strings, arrays and basic support for classes.
277 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
279 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Killed all methods in this interface, no longer needed.
281 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now takes a string
282 argument which is the full pathname of the assembly - you must call Close()
283 after the assembly has been written to disk since the symbol writer needs to
284 load the finished assembly to get its metadata.
286 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for enums and structs.
288 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
290 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for method parameters.
292 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
294 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Removed my custom OpenMethod(),
295 we're now using the ISymbolWriter's method.
296 (IVariable): Added `byte[] Signature' property.
298 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SetAssembly): New method. This must be called before
299 Close(); the assembly parameter is the already-written assembly, ie. it must
300 contain the full metadata.
301 (OpenMethod): Only take the token argument and set MethodInfo later in DoFixups.
302 (SetMethodSourceRange): You must call this function to tell the symbol writer
303 in which source file the method is defined.
304 (DefineLocal): Store the signature in the local.
305 (DoFixups): Use two new interncalls to set the SourceMethod's MethodInfo field
306 and the LocalVariable's Type field.
308 2002-03-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
310 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): New interface.
311 (ILocalVariable): Renamed this interface to IVariable.
312 (IVariable): Added Line, Type, Token.
313 (ILocalVariable, IMethodParameter): New interfaces, derive from IVariable.
314 (ISourceMethod): Added Blocks. Renamed FirstLine and LastLine to Start and End,
315 changed their type to ISourceLine. Removed CodeSize.
316 (ISourceLine): Renamed Line to Row, added Column. Added OffsetType and Offset.
318 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieLexicalBlock): New class.
319 (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieMethodVariable): New class.
321 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenScope, CloseScope): Implemented.
322 Reflected latest IMonoSymbolWriter interface changes.
324 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
326 * IAssemblerWriter.cs: New interface.
328 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: New class.
330 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use the IAssemblerWriter interface to make this class
331 platform and assembler independent.
333 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
335 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added FirstLine, LastLine, CodeSize and
338 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Implemented line number support.
340 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
342 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceFile, ISourceMethod, ISourceLine, ILocalVariable):
345 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenMethod): Take a System.Reflection.MethodInfo, not
348 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
350 This is an implementation of the System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.SymbolWriter
351 interface. It's still work in progress and not yet used anywhere.
353 There is some preliminary documentation in the source files and some more
354 docu in the README and README.relocation-table files.
356 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: New file.
