1 2002-10-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
3 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 27. Added a source
4 file table which is used to search a method by source file + line number.
6 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
8 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 26. Removed all the dynamic
9 stuff, this library now just deals with the compiler generated symbol table.
10 The dynamic stuff is private between the JIT and the debugger.
12 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
14 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 25. Added information about
17 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
19 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 24. Added a type index
20 table. Write the type of a local variable or a parameter as an index
23 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
25 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Remove all the unused interfaces.
27 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

32 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
34 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 22. Provide information
35 about parameters and local variables.
37 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
39 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Use fullly qualified name for
40 System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.ISymbolWriter rather than `using' this
41 namespace. This allows us to use the name `ISymbolWriter' in our own
44 2002-09-18 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
46 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 21. Encode the source file
47 as a 4-byte length field followed by the UTF8 encoded string.
49 2002-09-18 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
51 * IMonoBinaryReader.cs: New interface.
53 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Use IMonoBinaryReader instead of binary reader.
55 2002-09-16 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
57 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 20.
59 2002-09-14 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
61 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs, IMonoSymbolWriter.cs, MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs:
62 Make all classes and interfaces which don't need to be public internal.
64 2002-09-14 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
66 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Use only CLS-compliant types here, bumped version
69 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: Removed, this is now in the debugger.
71 2002-09-03 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
73 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs, IAssemblerWriter.cs, MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs,
74 README, README.relocation-table, csharp-lang.[ch], gdb-csharp-support.patch,
75 gdb-variable-scopes.patch: Removed.
77 2002-09-03 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
79 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs (MonoSymbolTableReader.ImageFile): New
82 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Bumped version number to 18.
84 2002-08-27 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
86 * MonoSymbolTable.cs (MethodAddress): Removed `TrampolineAddress'.
88 2002-08-27 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
90 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Changed the file format in a way that allows us
91 open it read-only and to use a specially malloced area for all the
94 2002-08-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
96 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: New file. This is the reader for the
97 new symbol file format.
99 2002-08-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
101 * MonoSymbolTable.cs, MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs: New files. This
102 creates a binary application.dbg file which will be used by the
103 JIT to display source lines for exceptions.
105 * list.unix: Disabled the dwarf file writer in the build.
107 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
109 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Initialize): Added
110 assembly name argument. Since the symbol writer needs to read the
111 final assembly, we need to give it its full pathname.
113 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
115 * makefile.gnu, list.unix: Added.
117 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
119 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for types in referenced assemblies.
121 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
123 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for arrays.
125 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
127 2002-06-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
129 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInheritance): Make this actually work.
131 2002-06-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
133 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs, MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Put all TAG_subprogram's into their
134 corresponding struct/class declarations.
136 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
138 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
140 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
142 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use a TAG_string_type when we're using GNU extensions.
143 Make static struct/class fields actually work. Provide a TAG_typedef for struct's
146 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
148 * IMonoSymbolWriter (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added custom `Initialize' method.
150 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (Initialize): The ISymbolWriter's `Initialize' method
151 is no longer supported and throws an exception.
152 (Initialize (string, string[])): New custom initialization function.
154 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DwarfFileWriter): Added `string[] args' argument
155 to the constructor to pass command line arguments.
157 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated for GDB 5.2.
159 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
161 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now get's the
162 AssemblyBuilder's `methods' array as third argument.
163 (OpenMethod): Use this array to get the method builder rather than using an
165 (get_method_builder): Removed this interncall.
167 2002-05-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
169 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Finished the type rewrite, put back strings and arrays.
171 2002-05-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
173 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added `FullName' and `Parameters'.
174 (ITypeHandle): New interface.
176 * DwarfFileWriter.cs: Largely reorganized the type writing code. Types are
177 now represented by ITypeHandle objects which are stored in a per-dwarf-writer
178 hash table. At the moment, all types still need to be in one compile unit due
179 to lacking support in gdb - but this new type code here already supports this.
181 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Moved all the subclasses to the top-level and made them
182 public, cleaned up the code, put everything into one compile unit.
183 (DefineLocalVariable): Added a version of this function which takes useful args.
185 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
187 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added `Sources' and `Methods'
190 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (WriteSymbolTable): New public method. Moved the
191 code that writes the "mono_line_numbers" section here from the LineNumberEngine.
193 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
195 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IVariable): Replaced Token with `ISourceMethod Method'.
197 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now has an additional
198 ModuleBuilder argument.
199 (OpenMethod): Immediately call the `get_method' interncall to get the MethodBase
200 from the token, then store the MethodBase instead of the token. The token may
201 still change during the metadata library's fixup process.
202 (DoFixups): When the image has been written to disk, call the GetToken () method
203 on all MethodBuilders and all ConstructorBuilders to get the final metadata tokens.
205 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
207 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Don't use GNU extensions and produce assembler
208 output which is free of comments and extra whitespaces so that it's suitable
211 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
213 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Replaced `MethodInfo MethodInfo' with
214 `MethodBase MethodBase' and added `Type ReturnType'. We're now correctly
215 dealing with constructors and not crashing anymore.
217 2002-05-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
219 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Write a special line number table which can be read
220 in by the metadata library to get line number information in backtraces.
222 2002-05-06 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
224 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Close): Use Assembly.LoadFrom (), not
225 AppDomain.Load () to load the assembly.
227 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
229 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
230 to implement C# support.
232 * csharp-lang.c, csharp-lang.h, csharp-mono-lang.c: Copy these into your GDB
233 source directory after applying the patch.
235 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
237 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInternalString): Removed.
239 2002-04-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
241 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Reflect latest MonoString changes.
243 2002-04-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
245 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): Added `Blocks' property and `AddBlock'
246 method to support nested blocks.
248 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Correctly handle nested blocks.
250 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieMember): Provide info for all fields, not just for
251 public ones; also added DW_AT_accessibility.
252 (DieVariable): Reflected latest debug-symfile.c changes.
254 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
256 * gdb-variable-scopes.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
257 to implement variable lifetimes.
259 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
261 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieVariable): Provide info about the variable's
262 lifetime using DW_AT_begin_scope and a new baulig extension DW_AT_end_scope.
264 2002-03-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
266 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Rewrote most of the string output function, do the
267 number->string conversion manually. It's now taking about 15 seconds to write
268 a symbol file for MCS, no longer more than a minute.
270 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added some profiling code, speeded things up, fixed
273 2002-03-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
275 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (CreateType): Return a `DieType'.
276 (RegisterType): Add the type to the type hash before creating dependency types
277 so we don't get recursion loops.
278 (RegisterPointerType): New func to register a "pointer to type" type.
279 (DieTypeDef, DiePointerType, DieArrayType, DieStringType, DieClassType): New
280 types; added support for strings, arrays and basic support for classes.
282 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
284 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Killed all methods in this interface, no longer needed.
286 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now takes a string
287 argument which is the full pathname of the assembly - you must call Close()
288 after the assembly has been written to disk since the symbol writer needs to
289 load the finished assembly to get its metadata.
291 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for enums and structs.
293 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
295 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for method parameters.
297 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
299 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Removed my custom OpenMethod(),
300 we're now using the ISymbolWriter's method.
301 (IVariable): Added `byte[] Signature' property.
303 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SetAssembly): New method. This must be called before
304 Close(); the assembly parameter is the already-written assembly, ie. it must
305 contain the full metadata.
306 (OpenMethod): Only take the token argument and set MethodInfo later in DoFixups.
307 (SetMethodSourceRange): You must call this function to tell the symbol writer
308 in which source file the method is defined.
309 (DefineLocal): Store the signature in the local.
310 (DoFixups): Use two new interncalls to set the SourceMethod's MethodInfo field
311 and the LocalVariable's Type field.
313 2002-03-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
315 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): New interface.
316 (ILocalVariable): Renamed this interface to IVariable.
317 (IVariable): Added Line, Type, Token.
318 (ILocalVariable, IMethodParameter): New interfaces, derive from IVariable.
319 (ISourceMethod): Added Blocks. Renamed FirstLine and LastLine to Start and End,
320 changed their type to ISourceLine. Removed CodeSize.
321 (ISourceLine): Renamed Line to Row, added Column. Added OffsetType and Offset.
323 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieLexicalBlock): New class.
324 (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieMethodVariable): New class.
326 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenScope, CloseScope): Implemented.
327 Reflected latest IMonoSymbolWriter interface changes.
329 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
331 * IAssemblerWriter.cs: New interface.
333 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: New class.
335 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use the IAssemblerWriter interface to make this class
336 platform and assembler independent.
338 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
340 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added FirstLine, LastLine, CodeSize and
343 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Implemented line number support.
345 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
347 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceFile, ISourceMethod, ISourceLine, ILocalVariable):
350 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenMethod): Take a System.Reflection.MethodInfo, not
353 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
355 This is an implementation of the System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.SymbolWriter
356 interface. It's still work in progress and not yet used anywhere.
358 There is some preliminary documentation in the source files and some more
359 docu in the README and README.relocation-table files.
361 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: New file.
