1 2002-08-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
3 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: New file. This is the reader for the
4 new symbol file format.
6 2002-08-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
8 * MonoSymbolTable.cs, MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs: New files. This
9 creates a binary application.dbg file which will be used by the
10 JIT to display source lines for exceptions.
12 * list.unix: Disabled the dwarf file writer in the build.
14 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
16 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Initialize): Added
17 assembly name argument. Since the symbol writer needs to read the
18 final assembly, we need to give it its full pathname.
20 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
22 * makefile.gnu, list.unix: Added.
24 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
26 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for types in referenced assemblies.
28 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
30 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for arrays.
32 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
34 2002-06-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
36 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInheritance): Make this actually work.
38 2002-06-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
40 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs, MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Put all TAG_subprogram's into their
41 corresponding struct/class declarations.
43 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
45 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
47 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
49 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use a TAG_string_type when we're using GNU extensions.
50 Make static struct/class fields actually work. Provide a TAG_typedef for struct's
53 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
55 * IMonoSymbolWriter (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added custom `Initialize' method.
57 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (Initialize): The ISymbolWriter's `Initialize' method
58 is no longer supported and throws an exception.
59 (Initialize (string, string[])): New custom initialization function.
61 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DwarfFileWriter): Added `string[] args' argument
62 to the constructor to pass command line arguments.
64 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated for GDB 5.2.
66 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
68 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now get's the
69 AssemblyBuilder's `methods' array as third argument.
70 (OpenMethod): Use this array to get the method builder rather than using an
72 (get_method_builder): Removed this interncall.
74 2002-05-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
76 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Finished the type rewrite, put back strings and arrays.
78 2002-05-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
80 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added `FullName' and `Parameters'.
81 (ITypeHandle): New interface.
83 * DwarfFileWriter.cs: Largely reorganized the type writing code. Types are
84 now represented by ITypeHandle objects which are stored in a per-dwarf-writer
85 hash table. At the moment, all types still need to be in one compile unit due
86 to lacking support in gdb - but this new type code here already supports this.
88 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Moved all the subclasses to the top-level and made them
89 public, cleaned up the code, put everything into one compile unit.
90 (DefineLocalVariable): Added a version of this function which takes useful args.
92 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
94 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added `Sources' and `Methods'
97 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (WriteSymbolTable): New public method. Moved the
98 code that writes the "mono_line_numbers" section here from the LineNumberEngine.
100 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
102 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IVariable): Replaced Token with `ISourceMethod Method'.
104 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now has an additional
105 ModuleBuilder argument.
106 (OpenMethod): Immediately call the `get_method' interncall to get the MethodBase
107 from the token, then store the MethodBase instead of the token. The token may
108 still change during the metadata library's fixup process.
109 (DoFixups): When the image has been written to disk, call the GetToken () method
110 on all MethodBuilders and all ConstructorBuilders to get the final metadata tokens.
112 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
114 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Don't use GNU extensions and produce assembler
115 output which is free of comments and extra whitespaces so that it's suitable
118 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
120 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Replaced `MethodInfo MethodInfo' with
121 `MethodBase MethodBase' and added `Type ReturnType'. We're now correctly
122 dealing with constructors and not crashing anymore.
124 2002-05-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
126 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Write a special line number table which can be read
127 in by the metadata library to get line number information in backtraces.
129 2002-05-06 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
131 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Close): Use Assembly.LoadFrom (), not
132 AppDomain.Load () to load the assembly.
134 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
136 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
137 to implement C# support.
139 * csharp-lang.c, csharp-lang.h, csharp-mono-lang.c: Copy these into your GDB
140 source directory after applying the patch.
142 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
144 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInternalString): Removed.
146 2002-04-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
148 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Reflect latest MonoString changes.
150 2002-04-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
152 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): Added `Blocks' property and `AddBlock'
153 method to support nested blocks.
155 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Correctly handle nested blocks.
157 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieMember): Provide info for all fields, not just for
158 public ones; also added DW_AT_accessibility.
159 (DieVariable): Reflected latest debug-symfile.c changes.
161 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
163 * gdb-variable-scopes.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
164 to implement variable lifetimes.
166 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
168 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieVariable): Provide info about the variable's
169 lifetime using DW_AT_begin_scope and a new baulig extension DW_AT_end_scope.
171 2002-03-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
173 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Rewrote most of the string output function, do the
174 number->string conversion manually. It's now taking about 15 seconds to write
175 a symbol file for MCS, no longer more than a minute.
177 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added some profiling code, speeded things up, fixed
180 2002-03-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
182 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (CreateType): Return a `DieType'.
183 (RegisterType): Add the type to the type hash before creating dependency types
184 so we don't get recursion loops.
185 (RegisterPointerType): New func to register a "pointer to type" type.
186 (DieTypeDef, DiePointerType, DieArrayType, DieStringType, DieClassType): New
187 types; added support for strings, arrays and basic support for classes.
189 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
191 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Killed all methods in this interface, no longer needed.
193 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now takes a string
194 argument which is the full pathname of the assembly - you must call Close()
195 after the assembly has been written to disk since the symbol writer needs to
196 load the finished assembly to get its metadata.
198 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for enums and structs.
200 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
202 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for method parameters.
204 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
206 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Removed my custom OpenMethod(),
207 we're now using the ISymbolWriter's method.
208 (IVariable): Added `byte[] Signature' property.
210 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SetAssembly): New method. This must be called before
211 Close(); the assembly parameter is the already-written assembly, ie. it must
212 contain the full metadata.
213 (OpenMethod): Only take the token argument and set MethodInfo later in DoFixups.
214 (SetMethodSourceRange): You must call this function to tell the symbol writer
215 in which source file the method is defined.
216 (DefineLocal): Store the signature in the local.
217 (DoFixups): Use two new interncalls to set the SourceMethod's MethodInfo field
218 and the LocalVariable's Type field.
220 2002-03-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
222 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): New interface.
223 (ILocalVariable): Renamed this interface to IVariable.
224 (IVariable): Added Line, Type, Token.
225 (ILocalVariable, IMethodParameter): New interfaces, derive from IVariable.
226 (ISourceMethod): Added Blocks. Renamed FirstLine and LastLine to Start and End,
227 changed their type to ISourceLine. Removed CodeSize.
228 (ISourceLine): Renamed Line to Row, added Column. Added OffsetType and Offset.
230 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieLexicalBlock): New class.
231 (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieMethodVariable): New class.
233 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenScope, CloseScope): Implemented.
234 Reflected latest IMonoSymbolWriter interface changes.
236 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
238 * IAssemblerWriter.cs: New interface.
240 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: New class.
242 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use the IAssemblerWriter interface to make this class
243 platform and assembler independent.
245 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
247 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added FirstLine, LastLine, CodeSize and
250 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Implemented line number support.
252 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
254 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceFile, ISourceMethod, ISourceLine, ILocalVariable):
257 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenMethod): Take a System.Reflection.MethodInfo, not
260 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
262 This is an implementation of the System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.SymbolWriter
263 interface. It's still work in progress and not yet used anywhere.
265 There is some preliminary documentation in the source files and some more
266 docu in the README and README.relocation-table files.
268 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: New file.
269 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: New file.
270 * MonoSymbolDocumentWriter.cs: New file.
