32 MonoSymbolFile.cs and MonoSymbolWriter.cs.
34 2003-02-07 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
36 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: The symbol file is now a resource in the
37 assembly instead of a separate file.
39 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Did a few more cleanups, sort the line
40 number table and remove duplicate line numbers.
42 2003-02-05 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
44 Modified the symbol file format to speed up method looks by name
45 and cleaned this up a lot.
47 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: New public class. This is now a public class
48 and writes and reads the symbol file.

64 2002-10-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
66 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 27. Added a source
67 file table which is used to search a method by source file + line number.
69 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
71 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 26. Removed all the dynamic
72 stuff, this library now just deals with the compiler generated symbol table.
73 The dynamic stuff is private between the JIT and the debugger.
75 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
77 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 25. Added information about
80 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

98 about parameters and local variables.
100 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
102 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Use fullly qualified name for
103 System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.ISymbolWriter rather than `using' this
104 namespace. This allows us to use the name `ISymbolWriter' in our own
107 2002-09-18 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
109 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 21. Encode the source file
110 as a 4-byte length field followed by the UTF8 encoded string.

154 open it read-only and to use a specially malloced area for all the
157 2002-08-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
159 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: New file. This is the reader for the
160 new symbol file format.
162 2002-08-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
164 * MonoSymbolTable.cs, MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs: New files. This
165 creates a binary application.dbg file which will be used by the
166 JIT to display source lines for exceptions.
168 * list.unix: Disabled the dwarf file writer in the build.
170 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
172 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Initialize): Added
173 assembly name argument. Since the symbol writer needs to read the
174 final assembly, we need to give it its full pathname.
176 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
178 * makefile.gnu, list.unix: Added.
180 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
182 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for types in referenced assemblies.
184 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

197 corresponding struct/class declarations.
199 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
201 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
203 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
205 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use a TAG_string_type when we're using GNU extensions.
206 Make static struct/class fields actually work. Provide a TAG_typedef for struct's
209 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
211 * IMonoSymbolWriter (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added custom `Initialize' method.
213 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (Initialize): The ISymbolWriter's `Initialize' method
214 is no longer supported and throws an exception.
215 (Initialize (string, string[])): New custom initialization function.
217 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DwarfFileWriter): Added `string[] args' argument
218 to the constructor to pass command line arguments.
220 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated for GDB 5.2.
222 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
224 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now get's the
225 AssemblyBuilder's `methods' array as third argument.
226 (OpenMethod): Use this array to get the method builder rather than using an
228 (get_method_builder): Removed this interncall.
230 2002-05-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
232 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Finished the type rewrite, put back strings and arrays.
234 2002-05-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
236 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added `FullName' and `Parameters'.
237 (ITypeHandle): New interface.
239 * DwarfFileWriter.cs: Largely reorganized the type writing code. Types are
240 now represented by ITypeHandle objects which are stored in a per-dwarf-writer
241 hash table. At the moment, all types still need to be in one compile unit due
242 to lacking support in gdb - but this new type code here already supports this.
244 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Moved all the subclasses to the top-level and made them
245 public, cleaned up the code, put everything into one compile unit.
246 (DefineLocalVariable): Added a version of this function which takes useful args.
248 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
250 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added `Sources' and `Methods'
253 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (WriteSymbolTable): New public method. Moved the
254 code that writes the "mono_line_numbers" section here from the LineNumberEngine.
256 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
258 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IVariable): Replaced Token with `ISourceMethod Method'.
260 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now has an additional
261 ModuleBuilder argument.
262 (OpenMethod): Immediately call the `get_method' interncall to get the MethodBase
263 from the token, then store the MethodBase instead of the token. The token may
264 still change during the metadata library's fixup process.
265 (DoFixups): When the image has been written to disk, call the GetToken () method
266 on all MethodBuilders and all ConstructorBuilders to get the final metadata tokens.
268 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
270 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Don't use GNU extensions and produce assembler
271 output which is free of comments and extra whitespaces so that it's suitable
274 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
276 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Replaced `MethodInfo MethodInfo' with
277 `MethodBase MethodBase' and added `Type ReturnType'. We're now correctly
278 dealing with constructors and not crashing anymore.
280 2002-05-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
282 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Write a special line number table which can be read
283 in by the metadata library to get line number information in backtraces.
285 2002-05-06 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
287 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Close): Use Assembly.LoadFrom (), not
288 AppDomain.Load () to load the assembly.
290 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
292 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
293 to implement C# support.
295 * csharp-lang.c, csharp-lang.h, csharp-mono-lang.c: Copy these into your GDB
296 source directory after applying the patch.
298 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
300 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInternalString): Removed.
302 2002-04-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
304 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Reflect latest MonoString changes.
306 2002-04-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
308 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): Added `Blocks' property and `AddBlock'
309 method to support nested blocks.
311 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Correctly handle nested blocks.
313 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieMember): Provide info for all fields, not just for
314 public ones; also added DW_AT_accessibility.
315 (DieVariable): Reflected latest debug-symfile.c changes.
317 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
319 * gdb-variable-scopes.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
320 to implement variable lifetimes.
322 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
324 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieVariable): Provide info about the variable's
325 lifetime using DW_AT_begin_scope and a new baulig extension DW_AT_end_scope.
327 2002-03-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
329 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Rewrote most of the string output function, do the
330 number->string conversion manually. It's now taking about 15 seconds to write
331 a symbol file for MCS, no longer more than a minute.
333 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added some profiling code, speeded things up, fixed
336 2002-03-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
338 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (CreateType): Return a `DieType'.
339 (RegisterType): Add the type to the type hash before creating dependency types
340 so we don't get recursion loops.
341 (RegisterPointerType): New func to register a "pointer to type" type.
342 (DieTypeDef, DiePointerType, DieArrayType, DieStringType, DieClassType): New
343 types; added support for strings, arrays and basic support for classes.
345 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
347 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Killed all methods in this interface, no longer needed.
349 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now takes a string
350 argument which is the full pathname of the assembly - you must call Close()
351 after the assembly has been written to disk since the symbol writer needs to
352 load the finished assembly to get its metadata.
354 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for enums and structs.
356 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
358 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for method parameters.
360 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
362 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Removed my custom OpenMethod(),
363 we're now using the ISymbolWriter's method.
364 (IVariable): Added `byte[] Signature' property.
366 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SetAssembly): New method. This must be called before
367 Close(); the assembly parameter is the already-written assembly, ie. it must
368 contain the full metadata.
369 (OpenMethod): Only take the token argument and set MethodInfo later in DoFixups.
370 (SetMethodSourceRange): You must call this function to tell the symbol writer
371 in which source file the method is defined.
372 (DefineLocal): Store the signature in the local.
373 (DoFixups): Use two new interncalls to set the SourceMethod's MethodInfo field
374 and the LocalVariable's Type field.
376 2002-03-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
378 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): New interface.
379 (ILocalVariable): Renamed this interface to IVariable.
380 (IVariable): Added Line, Type, Token.
381 (ILocalVariable, IMethodParameter): New interfaces, derive from IVariable.
382 (ISourceMethod): Added Blocks. Renamed FirstLine and LastLine to Start and End,
383 changed their type to ISourceLine. Removed CodeSize.
384 (ISourceLine): Renamed Line to Row, added Column. Added OffsetType and Offset.
386 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieLexicalBlock): New class.
387 (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieMethodVariable): New class.
389 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenScope, CloseScope): Implemented.
390 Reflected latest IMonoSymbolWriter interface changes.
392 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
394 * IAssemblerWriter.cs: New interface.
396 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: New class.
398 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use the IAssemblerWriter interface to make this class
399 platform and assembler independent.
401 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
403 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added FirstLine, LastLine, CodeSize and
406 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Implemented line number support.
408 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
410 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceFile, ISourceMethod, ISourceLine, ILocalVariable):
413 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenMethod): Take a System.Reflection.MethodInfo, not
416 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
418 This is an implementation of the System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.SymbolWriter
419 interface. It's still work in progress and not yet used anywhere.
421 There is some preliminary documentation in the source files and some more
422 docu in the README and README.relocation-table files.
424 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: New file.
425 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: New file.
426 * MonoSymbolDocumentWriter.cs: New file.
