3 Added basic support for lexical scopes. This is just to tell a
4 debugger that a local variable is only available in a specific
5 lexical scope and that another variable of the same name may exist
6 in another lexical scope. See debugger/test/TestLexicalScope.cs
9 * MonoSymbolTable.cs (LexicalScopeEntry): New class.
10 (LocalVariableEntry): Added `BlockIndex' field which specifies the
11 lexical scope of this variable.

69 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Added support for namespaces.
70 (NamespaceEntry): New struct.
71 (SourceFileEntry.DefineNamespace): New method.
72 (MethodEntry.BuildLineNumberTable): The table is already sorted,
73 so we don't need to do this here.
75 2003-02-09 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
77 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Ooops, I forgot to remove this.
79 2003-02-08 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>

98 assembly doesn't have any debugging info.
100 2003-02-07 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
102 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Initialize): Removed the
103 custom initialization function.

106 MonoSymbolFile.cs and MonoSymbolWriter.cs.
108 2003-02-07 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
110 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: The symbol file is now a resource in the
111 assembly instead of a separate file.
113 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Did a few more cleanups, sort the line
114 number table and remove duplicate line numbers.
116 2003-02-05 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
118 Modified the symbol file format to speed up method looks by name
119 and cleaned this up a lot.
121 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: New public class. This is now a public class
122 and writes and reads the symbol file.
124 * IMonoBinaryReader.cs: Removed.
126 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 29.

140 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 27. Added a source
141 file table which is used to search a method by source file + line number.
143 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
145 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 26. Removed all the dynamic
146 stuff, this library now just deals with the compiler generated symbol table.
147 The dynamic stuff is private between the JIT and the debugger.
149 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
151 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 25. Added information about
154 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
156 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 24. Added a type index

172 about parameters and local variables.
174 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
176 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Use fullly qualified name for
177 System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.ISymbolWriter rather than `using' this
178 namespace. This allows us to use the name `ISymbolWriter' in our own
181 2002-09-18 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
183 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 21. Encode the source file

228 open it read-only and to use a specially malloced area for all the
231 2002-08-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
233 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: New file. This is the reader for the
234 new symbol file format.
236 2002-08-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
238 * MonoSymbolTable.cs, MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs: New files. This
239 creates a binary application.dbg file which will be used by the
240 JIT to display source lines for exceptions.
242 * list.unix: Disabled the dwarf file writer in the build.
244 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
246 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Initialize): Added
247 assembly name argument. Since the symbol writer needs to read the
248 final assembly, we need to give it its full pathname.
250 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
252 * makefile.gnu, list.unix: Added.
254 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
256 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for types in referenced assemblies.
258 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

277 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
279 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use a TAG_string_type when we're using GNU extensions.
280 Make static struct/class fields actually work. Provide a TAG_typedef for struct's
283 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
285 * IMonoSymbolWriter (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added custom `Initialize' method.
287 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (Initialize): The ISymbolWriter's `Initialize' method
288 is no longer supported and throws an exception.
289 (Initialize (string, string[])): New custom initialization function.
291 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DwarfFileWriter): Added `string[] args' argument
292 to the constructor to pass command line arguments.
294 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated for GDB 5.2.
296 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
298 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now get's the
299 AssemblyBuilder's `methods' array as third argument.
300 (OpenMethod): Use this array to get the method builder rather than using an
302 (get_method_builder): Removed this interncall.
304 2002-05-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
306 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Finished the type rewrite, put back strings and arrays.
308 2002-05-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
310 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added `FullName' and `Parameters'.
311 (ITypeHandle): New interface.
313 * DwarfFileWriter.cs: Largely reorganized the type writing code. Types are
314 now represented by ITypeHandle objects which are stored in a per-dwarf-writer
315 hash table. At the moment, all types still need to be in one compile unit due
316 to lacking support in gdb - but this new type code here already supports this.
318 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Moved all the subclasses to the top-level and made them
319 public, cleaned up the code, put everything into one compile unit.
320 (DefineLocalVariable): Added a version of this function which takes useful args.
322 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
324 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added `Sources' and `Methods'
327 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (WriteSymbolTable): New public method. Moved the
328 code that writes the "mono_line_numbers" section here from the LineNumberEngine.
330 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
332 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IVariable): Replaced Token with `ISourceMethod Method'.
334 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now has an additional
335 ModuleBuilder argument.
336 (OpenMethod): Immediately call the `get_method' interncall to get the MethodBase
337 from the token, then store the MethodBase instead of the token. The token may
338 still change during the metadata library's fixup process.
339 (DoFixups): When the image has been written to disk, call the GetToken () method
340 on all MethodBuilders and all ConstructorBuilders to get the final metadata tokens.
342 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
344 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Don't use GNU extensions and produce assembler
345 output which is free of comments and extra whitespaces so that it's suitable
348 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
350 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Replaced `MethodInfo MethodInfo' with
351 `MethodBase MethodBase' and added `Type ReturnType'. We're now correctly
352 dealing with constructors and not crashing anymore.
354 2002-05-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
356 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Write a special line number table which can be read
357 in by the metadata library to get line number information in backtraces.
359 2002-05-06 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
361 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Close): Use Assembly.LoadFrom (), not
362 AppDomain.Load () to load the assembly.
364 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
366 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
367 to implement C# support.
369 * csharp-lang.c, csharp-lang.h, csharp-mono-lang.c: Copy these into your GDB
370 source directory after applying the patch.
372 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
374 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInternalString): Removed.
376 2002-04-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
378 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Reflect latest MonoString changes.
380 2002-04-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
382 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): Added `Blocks' property and `AddBlock'
383 method to support nested blocks.
385 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Correctly handle nested blocks.
387 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieMember): Provide info for all fields, not just for
388 public ones; also added DW_AT_accessibility.
389 (DieVariable): Reflected latest debug-symfile.c changes.
391 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
393 * gdb-variable-scopes.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
394 to implement variable lifetimes.
396 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
398 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieVariable): Provide info about the variable's
399 lifetime using DW_AT_begin_scope and a new baulig extension DW_AT_end_scope.
401 2002-03-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
403 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Rewrote most of the string output function, do the
404 number->string conversion manually. It's now taking about 15 seconds to write
405 a symbol file for MCS, no longer more than a minute.
407 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added some profiling code, speeded things up, fixed
410 2002-03-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
412 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (CreateType): Return a `DieType'.
413 (RegisterType): Add the type to the type hash before creating dependency types
414 so we don't get recursion loops.
415 (RegisterPointerType): New func to register a "pointer to type" type.
416 (DieTypeDef, DiePointerType, DieArrayType, DieStringType, DieClassType): New
417 types; added support for strings, arrays and basic support for classes.
419 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
421 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Killed all methods in this interface, no longer needed.
423 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now takes a string
424 argument which is the full pathname of the assembly - you must call Close()
425 after the assembly has been written to disk since the symbol writer needs to
426 load the finished assembly to get its metadata.
428 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for enums and structs.
430 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
432 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for method parameters.
434 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
436 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Removed my custom OpenMethod(),
437 we're now using the ISymbolWriter's method.
438 (IVariable): Added `byte[] Signature' property.
440 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SetAssembly): New method. This must be called before
441 Close(); the assembly parameter is the already-written assembly, ie. it must
442 contain the full metadata.
443 (OpenMethod): Only take the token argument and set MethodInfo later in DoFixups.
444 (SetMethodSourceRange): You must call this function to tell the symbol writer
445 in which source file the method is defined.
446 (DefineLocal): Store the signature in the local.
447 (DoFixups): Use two new interncalls to set the SourceMethod's MethodInfo field
448 and the LocalVariable's Type field.
450 2002-03-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
452 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): New interface.
453 (ILocalVariable): Renamed this interface to IVariable.
454 (IVariable): Added Line, Type, Token.
455 (ILocalVariable, IMethodParameter): New interfaces, derive from IVariable.
456 (ISourceMethod): Added Blocks. Renamed FirstLine and LastLine to Start and End,
457 changed their type to ISourceLine. Removed CodeSize.

460 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieLexicalBlock): New class.
461 (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieMethodVariable): New class.
463 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenScope, CloseScope): Implemented.
464 Reflected latest IMonoSymbolWriter interface changes.
466 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
468 * IAssemblerWriter.cs: New interface.
470 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: New class.

473 platform and assembler independent.
475 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
477 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added FirstLine, LastLine, CodeSize and
480 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Implemented line number support.
482 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
484 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceFile, ISourceMethod, ISourceLine, ILocalVariable):
487 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenMethod): Take a System.Reflection.MethodInfo, not
490 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
492 This is an implementation of the System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.SymbolWriter
493 interface. It's still work in progress and not yet used anywhere.
495 There is some preliminary documentation in the source files and some more
496 docu in the README and README.relocation-table files.
498 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: New file.
499 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: New file.
500 * MonoSymbolDocumentWriter.cs: New file.
