13 MonoSymbolFile.cs and MonoSymbolWriter.cs.
15 2003-02-07 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
17 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: The symbol file is now a resource in the
18 assembly instead of a separate file.
20 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Did a few more cleanups, sort the line
21 number table and remove duplicate line numbers.
23 2003-02-05 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
25 Modified the symbol file format to speed up method looks by name
26 and cleaned this up a lot.
28 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: New public class. This is now a public class
29 and writes and reads the symbol file.

43 (MethodSourceEntry): Made this a struct, not a class.
45 2002-10-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
47 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 27. Added a source
48 file table which is used to search a method by source file + line number.
50 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
52 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 26. Removed all the dynamic
53 stuff, this library now just deals with the compiler generated symbol table.
54 The dynamic stuff is private between the JIT and the debugger.
56 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
58 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 25. Added information about
61 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
63 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 24. Added a type index

79 about parameters and local variables.
81 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
83 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Use fullly qualified name for
84 System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.ISymbolWriter rather than `using' this
85 namespace. This allows us to use the name `ISymbolWriter' in our own
88 2002-09-18 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
90 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 21. Encode the source file
91 as a 4-byte length field followed by the UTF8 encoded string.

106 Make all classes and interfaces which don't need to be public internal.
108 2002-09-14 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
110 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Use only CLS-compliant types here, bumped version
113 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: Removed, this is now in the debugger.
115 2002-09-03 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
117 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs, IAssemblerWriter.cs, MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs,
118 README, README.relocation-table, csharp-lang.[ch], gdb-csharp-support.patch,
119 gdb-variable-scopes.patch: Removed.

123 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs (MonoSymbolTableReader.ImageFile): New
126 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Bumped version number to 18.
128 2002-08-27 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
130 * MonoSymbolTable.cs (MethodAddress): Removed `TrampolineAddress'.
132 2002-08-27 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
134 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Changed the file format in a way that allows us
135 open it read-only and to use a specially malloced area for all the
138 2002-08-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
140 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: New file. This is the reader for the
141 new symbol file format.
143 2002-08-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
145 * MonoSymbolTable.cs, MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs: New files. This
146 creates a binary application.dbg file which will be used by the
147 JIT to display source lines for exceptions.
149 * list.unix: Disabled the dwarf file writer in the build.
151 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
153 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Initialize): Added
154 assembly name argument. Since the symbol writer needs to read the
155 final assembly, we need to give it its full pathname.
157 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
159 * makefile.gnu, list.unix: Added.
161 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
163 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for types in referenced assemblies.
165 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

169 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
171 2002-06-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
173 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInheritance): Make this actually work.
175 2002-06-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
177 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs, MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Put all TAG_subprogram's into their
178 corresponding struct/class declarations.
180 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
182 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
184 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
186 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use a TAG_string_type when we're using GNU extensions.
187 Make static struct/class fields actually work. Provide a TAG_typedef for struct's
190 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
192 * IMonoSymbolWriter (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added custom `Initialize' method.
194 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (Initialize): The ISymbolWriter's `Initialize' method
195 is no longer supported and throws an exception.
196 (Initialize (string, string[])): New custom initialization function.
198 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DwarfFileWriter): Added `string[] args' argument
199 to the constructor to pass command line arguments.
201 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated for GDB 5.2.
203 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
205 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now get's the
206 AssemblyBuilder's `methods' array as third argument.
207 (OpenMethod): Use this array to get the method builder rather than using an
209 (get_method_builder): Removed this interncall.
211 2002-05-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
213 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Finished the type rewrite, put back strings and arrays.
215 2002-05-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
217 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added `FullName' and `Parameters'.
218 (ITypeHandle): New interface.
220 * DwarfFileWriter.cs: Largely reorganized the type writing code. Types are
221 now represented by ITypeHandle objects which are stored in a per-dwarf-writer
222 hash table. At the moment, all types still need to be in one compile unit due
223 to lacking support in gdb - but this new type code here already supports this.
225 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Moved all the subclasses to the top-level and made them
226 public, cleaned up the code, put everything into one compile unit.
227 (DefineLocalVariable): Added a version of this function which takes useful args.
229 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
231 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added `Sources' and `Methods'
234 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (WriteSymbolTable): New public method. Moved the
235 code that writes the "mono_line_numbers" section here from the LineNumberEngine.
237 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
239 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IVariable): Replaced Token with `ISourceMethod Method'.
241 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now has an additional
242 ModuleBuilder argument.
243 (OpenMethod): Immediately call the `get_method' interncall to get the MethodBase
244 from the token, then store the MethodBase instead of the token. The token may
245 still change during the metadata library's fixup process.
246 (DoFixups): When the image has been written to disk, call the GetToken () method
247 on all MethodBuilders and all ConstructorBuilders to get the final metadata tokens.
249 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
251 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Don't use GNU extensions and produce assembler
252 output which is free of comments and extra whitespaces so that it's suitable
255 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
257 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Replaced `MethodInfo MethodInfo' with
258 `MethodBase MethodBase' and added `Type ReturnType'. We're now correctly
259 dealing with constructors and not crashing anymore.
261 2002-05-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
263 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Write a special line number table which can be read
264 in by the metadata library to get line number information in backtraces.
266 2002-05-06 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
268 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Close): Use Assembly.LoadFrom (), not
269 AppDomain.Load () to load the assembly.
271 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
273 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
274 to implement C# support.
276 * csharp-lang.c, csharp-lang.h, csharp-mono-lang.c: Copy these into your GDB
277 source directory after applying the patch.
279 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
281 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInternalString): Removed.
283 2002-04-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
285 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Reflect latest MonoString changes.
287 2002-04-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
289 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): Added `Blocks' property and `AddBlock'
290 method to support nested blocks.
292 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Correctly handle nested blocks.
294 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieMember): Provide info for all fields, not just for
295 public ones; also added DW_AT_accessibility.
296 (DieVariable): Reflected latest debug-symfile.c changes.
298 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
300 * gdb-variable-scopes.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
301 to implement variable lifetimes.
303 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
305 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieVariable): Provide info about the variable's
306 lifetime using DW_AT_begin_scope and a new baulig extension DW_AT_end_scope.
308 2002-03-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
310 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Rewrote most of the string output function, do the
311 number->string conversion manually. It's now taking about 15 seconds to write
312 a symbol file for MCS, no longer more than a minute.
314 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added some profiling code, speeded things up, fixed
317 2002-03-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
319 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (CreateType): Return a `DieType'.
320 (RegisterType): Add the type to the type hash before creating dependency types
321 so we don't get recursion loops.
322 (RegisterPointerType): New func to register a "pointer to type" type.
323 (DieTypeDef, DiePointerType, DieArrayType, DieStringType, DieClassType): New
324 types; added support for strings, arrays and basic support for classes.
326 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
328 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Killed all methods in this interface, no longer needed.
330 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now takes a string
331 argument which is the full pathname of the assembly - you must call Close()
332 after the assembly has been written to disk since the symbol writer needs to
333 load the finished assembly to get its metadata.
335 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for enums and structs.
337 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
339 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for method parameters.
341 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
343 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Removed my custom OpenMethod(),
344 we're now using the ISymbolWriter's method.
345 (IVariable): Added `byte[] Signature' property.
347 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SetAssembly): New method. This must be called before
348 Close(); the assembly parameter is the already-written assembly, ie. it must
349 contain the full metadata.
350 (OpenMethod): Only take the token argument and set MethodInfo later in DoFixups.
351 (SetMethodSourceRange): You must call this function to tell the symbol writer
352 in which source file the method is defined.
353 (DefineLocal): Store the signature in the local.
354 (DoFixups): Use two new interncalls to set the SourceMethod's MethodInfo field
355 and the LocalVariable's Type field.
357 2002-03-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
359 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): New interface.
360 (ILocalVariable): Renamed this interface to IVariable.
361 (IVariable): Added Line, Type, Token.
362 (ILocalVariable, IMethodParameter): New interfaces, derive from IVariable.
363 (ISourceMethod): Added Blocks. Renamed FirstLine and LastLine to Start and End,
364 changed their type to ISourceLine. Removed CodeSize.
365 (ISourceLine): Renamed Line to Row, added Column. Added OffsetType and Offset.
367 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieLexicalBlock): New class.
368 (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieMethodVariable): New class.
370 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenScope, CloseScope): Implemented.
371 Reflected latest IMonoSymbolWriter interface changes.
373 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
375 * IAssemblerWriter.cs: New interface.
377 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: New class.
379 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use the IAssemblerWriter interface to make this class
380 platform and assembler independent.
382 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
384 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added FirstLine, LastLine, CodeSize and
387 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Implemented line number support.
389 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
391 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceFile, ISourceMethod, ISourceLine, ILocalVariable):
394 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenMethod): Take a System.Reflection.MethodInfo, not
397 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
399 This is an implementation of the System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.SymbolWriter
400 interface. It's still work in progress and not yet used anywhere.
402 There is some preliminary documentation in the source files and some more
403 docu in the README and README.relocation-table files.
405 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: New file.
406 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: New file.
407 * MonoSymbolDocumentWriter.cs: New file.
