3 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Fewer StringBuilder allocs.
5 2003-12-08 Zoltan Varga <vargaz@freemail.hu>
7 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Create ArrayLists only when needed.
9 2003-12-07 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
11 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: It is faster to do a linear search
12 than it is to make a hashtable. Even though the linear
13 search is O(n^2) while the hashtable is O(n), the allocation
14 cost for a hashtable is *very* high, especially when only
15 a few members will be added.
17 2003-09-06 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
19 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: Removed debugging output.
21 2003-08-05 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>

37 field. Specifies whether two local variables have the same name.
39 2003-03-13 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
41 Added basic support for lexical scopes. This is just to tell a
42 debugger that a local variable is only available in a specific
43 lexical scope and that another variable of the same name may exist
44 in another lexical scope. See debugger/test/TestLexicalScope.cs
47 * MonoSymbolTable.cs (LexicalScopeEntry): New class.
48 (LocalVariableEntry): Added `BlockIndex' field which specifies the
49 lexical scope of this variable.
51 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SourceBlock): Removed, we're now using
52 LexicalScopeEntry instead.
54 2003-02-22 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>

79 (MethodEntry.LocalTypes): New public variable.
81 2003-02-18 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
83 * MonoSymbolFile.cs (MethodEntry.ThisTypeIndex): Renamed to
84 ClassTypeIndex; provide this for all methods so we can get the
85 class of static methods.
87 2003-02-10 Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>
89 * Mono.CSharp.Debugger.build: passing the /r using an 'arg' node works.
90 The <include> node wasn't getting to the compiler. This fixes build
93 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: Qualify which Min method. Fixes build breakage
96 2003-02-09 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
98 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.ctor): We don't need the
99 `mbuilder_array' anymore.
101 2003-02-09 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
103 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SourceFile): Derive from SourceFileEntry.
104 (SourceBlock): We don't need source lines here.
105 (SourceMethod): We're always constructed with source info.
107 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Added support for namespaces.
108 (NamespaceEntry): New struct.
109 (SourceFileEntry.DefineNamespace): New method.
110 (MethodEntry.BuildLineNumberTable): The table is already sorted,
111 so we don't need to do this here.
113 2003-02-09 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
115 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Ooops, I forgot to remove this.
117 2003-02-08 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
119 * MonoSymbolDocumentWriter.cs: Removed.
121 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SourceFile): Implement ISymbolDocumentWriter.

132 2003-02-07 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
134 * MonoSymbolFile.cs (MonoSymbolFile.ReadSymbolFile): New public
135 static method, returns null (without throwing an exception) if the
136 assembly doesn't have any debugging info.
138 2003-02-07 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
140 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Initialize): Removed the
141 custom initialization function.
143 * MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs: Removed; the code is now in
144 MonoSymbolFile.cs and MonoSymbolWriter.cs.
146 2003-02-07 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
148 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: The symbol file is now a resource in the
149 assembly instead of a separate file.
151 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Did a few more cleanups, sort the line
152 number table and remove duplicate line numbers.
154 2003-02-05 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
156 Modified the symbol file format to speed up method looks by name
157 and cleaned this up a lot.
159 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: New public class. This is now a public class
160 and writes and reads the symbol file.
162 * IMonoBinaryReader.cs: Removed.
164 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 29.
166 2003-01-17 Zoltan Varga <vargaz@freemail.hu>

170 2002-10-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
172 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 28.
173 (SourceFileEntry): Read the methods when they're needed.
174 (MethodSourceEntry): Made this a struct, not a class.
176 2002-10-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
178 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 27. Added a source
179 file table which is used to search a method by source file + line number.
181 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
183 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 26. Removed all the dynamic
184 stuff, this library now just deals with the compiler generated symbol table.
185 The dynamic stuff is private between the JIT and the debugger.
187 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
189 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 25. Added information about
192 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
194 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 24. Added a type index
195 table. Write the type of a local variable or a parameter as an index
198 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
200 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Remove all the unused interfaces.
202 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

210 about parameters and local variables.
212 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
214 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Use fullly qualified name for
215 System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.ISymbolWriter rather than `using' this
216 namespace. This allows us to use the name `ISymbolWriter' in our own
219 2002-09-18 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
221 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 21. Encode the source file
222 as a 4-byte length field followed by the UTF8 encoded string.

234 2002-09-14 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
236 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs, IMonoSymbolWriter.cs, MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs:
237 Make all classes and interfaces which don't need to be public internal.
239 2002-09-14 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
241 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Use only CLS-compliant types here, bumped version
244 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: Removed, this is now in the debugger.
246 2002-09-03 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
248 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs, IAssemblerWriter.cs, MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs,
249 README, README.relocation-table, csharp-lang.[ch], gdb-csharp-support.patch,
250 gdb-variable-scopes.patch: Removed.
252 2002-09-03 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
254 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs (MonoSymbolTableReader.ImageFile): New
257 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Bumped version number to 18.
259 2002-08-27 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

266 open it read-only and to use a specially malloced area for all the
269 2002-08-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
271 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: New file. This is the reader for the
272 new symbol file format.
274 2002-08-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
276 * MonoSymbolTable.cs, MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs: New files. This
277 creates a binary application.dbg file which will be used by the
278 JIT to display source lines for exceptions.
280 * list.unix: Disabled the dwarf file writer in the build.
282 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
284 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Initialize): Added
285 assembly name argument. Since the symbol writer needs to read the
286 final assembly, we need to give it its full pathname.
288 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
290 * makefile.gnu, list.unix: Added.
292 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
294 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for types in referenced assemblies.
296 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

300 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
302 2002-06-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
304 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInheritance): Make this actually work.
306 2002-06-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

309 corresponding struct/class declarations.
311 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
313 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
315 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
317 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use a TAG_string_type when we're using GNU extensions.
318 Make static struct/class fields actually work. Provide a TAG_typedef for struct's
321 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
323 * IMonoSymbolWriter (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added custom `Initialize' method.
325 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (Initialize): The ISymbolWriter's `Initialize' method
326 is no longer supported and throws an exception.
327 (Initialize (string, string[])): New custom initialization function.
329 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DwarfFileWriter): Added `string[] args' argument
330 to the constructor to pass command line arguments.
332 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated for GDB 5.2.
334 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
336 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now get's the
337 AssemblyBuilder's `methods' array as third argument.
338 (OpenMethod): Use this array to get the method builder rather than using an
340 (get_method_builder): Removed this interncall.
342 2002-05-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
344 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Finished the type rewrite, put back strings and arrays.
346 2002-05-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
348 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added `FullName' and `Parameters'.
349 (ITypeHandle): New interface.
351 * DwarfFileWriter.cs: Largely reorganized the type writing code. Types are
352 now represented by ITypeHandle objects which are stored in a per-dwarf-writer
353 hash table. At the moment, all types still need to be in one compile unit due
354 to lacking support in gdb - but this new type code here already supports this.
356 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Moved all the subclasses to the top-level and made them
357 public, cleaned up the code, put everything into one compile unit.
358 (DefineLocalVariable): Added a version of this function which takes useful args.
360 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
362 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added `Sources' and `Methods'
365 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (WriteSymbolTable): New public method. Moved the
366 code that writes the "mono_line_numbers" section here from the LineNumberEngine.
368 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
370 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IVariable): Replaced Token with `ISourceMethod Method'.
372 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now has an additional
373 ModuleBuilder argument.
374 (OpenMethod): Immediately call the `get_method' interncall to get the MethodBase
375 from the token, then store the MethodBase instead of the token. The token may
376 still change during the metadata library's fixup process.
377 (DoFixups): When the image has been written to disk, call the GetToken () method
378 on all MethodBuilders and all ConstructorBuilders to get the final metadata tokens.
380 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
382 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Don't use GNU extensions and produce assembler
383 output which is free of comments and extra whitespaces so that it's suitable
386 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
388 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Replaced `MethodInfo MethodInfo' with
389 `MethodBase MethodBase' and added `Type ReturnType'. We're now correctly
390 dealing with constructors and not crashing anymore.
392 2002-05-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
394 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Write a special line number table which can be read
395 in by the metadata library to get line number information in backtraces.
397 2002-05-06 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
399 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Close): Use Assembly.LoadFrom (), not
400 AppDomain.Load () to load the assembly.
402 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
404 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
405 to implement C# support.
407 * csharp-lang.c, csharp-lang.h, csharp-mono-lang.c: Copy these into your GDB
408 source directory after applying the patch.
410 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
412 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInternalString): Removed.
414 2002-04-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
416 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Reflect latest MonoString changes.
418 2002-04-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
420 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): Added `Blocks' property and `AddBlock'
421 method to support nested blocks.
423 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Correctly handle nested blocks.
425 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieMember): Provide info for all fields, not just for
426 public ones; also added DW_AT_accessibility.
427 (DieVariable): Reflected latest debug-symfile.c changes.
429 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
431 * gdb-variable-scopes.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
432 to implement variable lifetimes.
434 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
436 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieVariable): Provide info about the variable's
437 lifetime using DW_AT_begin_scope and a new baulig extension DW_AT_end_scope.
439 2002-03-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
441 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Rewrote most of the string output function, do the
442 number->string conversion manually. It's now taking about 15 seconds to write
443 a symbol file for MCS, no longer more than a minute.
445 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added some profiling code, speeded things up, fixed
448 2002-03-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
450 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (CreateType): Return a `DieType'.
451 (RegisterType): Add the type to the type hash before creating dependency types
452 so we don't get recursion loops.
453 (RegisterPointerType): New func to register a "pointer to type" type.
454 (DieTypeDef, DiePointerType, DieArrayType, DieStringType, DieClassType): New
455 types; added support for strings, arrays and basic support for classes.
457 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
459 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Killed all methods in this interface, no longer needed.
461 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now takes a string
462 argument which is the full pathname of the assembly - you must call Close()
463 after the assembly has been written to disk since the symbol writer needs to
464 load the finished assembly to get its metadata.
466 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for enums and structs.
468 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
470 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for method parameters.
472 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
474 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Removed my custom OpenMethod(),
475 we're now using the ISymbolWriter's method.
476 (IVariable): Added `byte[] Signature' property.
478 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SetAssembly): New method. This must be called before
479 Close(); the assembly parameter is the already-written assembly, ie. it must
480 contain the full metadata.
481 (OpenMethod): Only take the token argument and set MethodInfo later in DoFixups.
482 (SetMethodSourceRange): You must call this function to tell the symbol writer
483 in which source file the method is defined.
484 (DefineLocal): Store the signature in the local.
485 (DoFixups): Use two new interncalls to set the SourceMethod's MethodInfo field
486 and the LocalVariable's Type field.
488 2002-03-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
490 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): New interface.
491 (ILocalVariable): Renamed this interface to IVariable.
492 (IVariable): Added Line, Type, Token.
493 (ILocalVariable, IMethodParameter): New interfaces, derive from IVariable.
494 (ISourceMethod): Added Blocks. Renamed FirstLine and LastLine to Start and End,
495 changed their type to ISourceLine. Removed CodeSize.
496 (ISourceLine): Renamed Line to Row, added Column. Added OffsetType and Offset.
498 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieLexicalBlock): New class.
499 (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieMethodVariable): New class.
501 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenScope, CloseScope): Implemented.
502 Reflected latest IMonoSymbolWriter interface changes.
504 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
506 * IAssemblerWriter.cs: New interface.
508 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: New class.
510 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use the IAssemblerWriter interface to make this class
511 platform and assembler independent.
513 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
515 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added FirstLine, LastLine, CodeSize and
518 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Implemented line number support.
520 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
522 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceFile, ISourceMethod, ISourceLine, ILocalVariable):
525 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenMethod): Take a System.Reflection.MethodInfo, not
528 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
530 This is an implementation of the System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.SymbolWriter
531 interface. It's still work in progress and not yet used anywhere.
533 There is some preliminary documentation in the source files and some more
534 docu in the README and README.relocation-table files.
536 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: New file.
537 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: New file.
538 * MonoSymbolDocumentWriter.cs: New file.
