3 Modified the symbol file format to speed up method looks by name
4 and cleaned this up a lot.
6 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: New public class. This is now a public class
7 and writes and reads the symbol file.
9 * IMonoBinaryReader.cs: Removed.
11 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 29.
13 2003-01-17 Zoltan Varga <vargaz@freemail.hu>
15 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenMethod): Make it work on constructors.
17 2002-10-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
19 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 28.

21 (MethodSourceEntry): Made this a struct, not a class.
23 2002-10-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
25 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 27. Added a source
26 file table which is used to search a method by source file + line number.
28 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
30 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 26. Removed all the dynamic
31 stuff, this library now just deals with the compiler generated symbol table.
32 The dynamic stuff is private between the JIT and the debugger.
34 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
36 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 25. Added information about
39 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

57 about parameters and local variables.
59 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
61 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Use fullly qualified name for
62 System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.ISymbolWriter rather than `using' this
63 namespace. This allows us to use the name `ISymbolWriter' in our own
66 2002-09-18 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
68 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 21. Encode the source file
69 as a 4-byte length field followed by the UTF8 encoded string.
71 2002-09-18 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
73 * IMonoBinaryReader.cs: New interface.

77 2002-09-16 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
79 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 20.
81 2002-09-14 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
83 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs, IMonoSymbolWriter.cs, MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs:
84 Make all classes and interfaces which don't need to be public internal.
86 2002-09-14 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
88 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Use only CLS-compliant types here, bumped version
91 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: Removed, this is now in the debugger.
93 2002-09-03 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
95 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs, IAssemblerWriter.cs, MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs,
96 README, README.relocation-table, csharp-lang.[ch], gdb-csharp-support.patch,
97 gdb-variable-scopes.patch: Removed.
99 2002-09-03 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
101 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs (MonoSymbolTableReader.ImageFile): New
104 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Bumped version number to 18.
106 2002-08-27 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
108 * MonoSymbolTable.cs (MethodAddress): Removed `TrampolineAddress'.
110 2002-08-27 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
112 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Changed the file format in a way that allows us
113 open it read-only and to use a specially malloced area for all the
116 2002-08-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
118 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: New file. This is the reader for the
119 new symbol file format.
121 2002-08-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
123 * MonoSymbolTable.cs, MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs: New files. This
124 creates a binary application.dbg file which will be used by the
125 JIT to display source lines for exceptions.
127 * list.unix: Disabled the dwarf file writer in the build.
129 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
131 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Initialize): Added
132 assembly name argument. Since the symbol writer needs to read the
133 final assembly, we need to give it its full pathname.
135 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
137 * makefile.gnu, list.unix: Added.
139 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
141 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for types in referenced assemblies.
143 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
145 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for arrays.
147 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
149 2002-06-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
151 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInheritance): Make this actually work.
153 2002-06-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
155 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs, MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Put all TAG_subprogram's into their
156 corresponding struct/class declarations.
158 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
160 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
162 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
164 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use a TAG_string_type when we're using GNU extensions.
165 Make static struct/class fields actually work. Provide a TAG_typedef for struct's
168 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
170 * IMonoSymbolWriter (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added custom `Initialize' method.
172 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (Initialize): The ISymbolWriter's `Initialize' method
173 is no longer supported and throws an exception.
174 (Initialize (string, string[])): New custom initialization function.
176 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DwarfFileWriter): Added `string[] args' argument
177 to the constructor to pass command line arguments.
179 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated for GDB 5.2.
181 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
183 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now get's the
184 AssemblyBuilder's `methods' array as third argument.
185 (OpenMethod): Use this array to get the method builder rather than using an
187 (get_method_builder): Removed this interncall.
189 2002-05-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
191 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Finished the type rewrite, put back strings and arrays.
193 2002-05-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
195 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added `FullName' and `Parameters'.
196 (ITypeHandle): New interface.
198 * DwarfFileWriter.cs: Largely reorganized the type writing code. Types are
199 now represented by ITypeHandle objects which are stored in a per-dwarf-writer
200 hash table. At the moment, all types still need to be in one compile unit due
201 to lacking support in gdb - but this new type code here already supports this.
203 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Moved all the subclasses to the top-level and made them
204 public, cleaned up the code, put everything into one compile unit.
205 (DefineLocalVariable): Added a version of this function which takes useful args.
207 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
209 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added `Sources' and `Methods'
212 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (WriteSymbolTable): New public method. Moved the
213 code that writes the "mono_line_numbers" section here from the LineNumberEngine.
215 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
217 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IVariable): Replaced Token with `ISourceMethod Method'.
219 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now has an additional
220 ModuleBuilder argument.
221 (OpenMethod): Immediately call the `get_method' interncall to get the MethodBase
222 from the token, then store the MethodBase instead of the token. The token may
223 still change during the metadata library's fixup process.
224 (DoFixups): When the image has been written to disk, call the GetToken () method
225 on all MethodBuilders and all ConstructorBuilders to get the final metadata tokens.
227 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
229 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Don't use GNU extensions and produce assembler
230 output which is free of comments and extra whitespaces so that it's suitable
233 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
235 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Replaced `MethodInfo MethodInfo' with
236 `MethodBase MethodBase' and added `Type ReturnType'. We're now correctly
237 dealing with constructors and not crashing anymore.
239 2002-05-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
241 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Write a special line number table which can be read
242 in by the metadata library to get line number information in backtraces.
244 2002-05-06 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
246 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Close): Use Assembly.LoadFrom (), not
247 AppDomain.Load () to load the assembly.
249 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
251 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
252 to implement C# support.
254 * csharp-lang.c, csharp-lang.h, csharp-mono-lang.c: Copy these into your GDB
255 source directory after applying the patch.
257 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
259 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInternalString): Removed.
261 2002-04-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
263 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Reflect latest MonoString changes.
265 2002-04-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
267 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): Added `Blocks' property and `AddBlock'
268 method to support nested blocks.
270 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Correctly handle nested blocks.
272 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieMember): Provide info for all fields, not just for
273 public ones; also added DW_AT_accessibility.
274 (DieVariable): Reflected latest debug-symfile.c changes.
276 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
278 * gdb-variable-scopes.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
279 to implement variable lifetimes.
281 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
283 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieVariable): Provide info about the variable's
284 lifetime using DW_AT_begin_scope and a new baulig extension DW_AT_end_scope.
286 2002-03-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
288 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Rewrote most of the string output function, do the
289 number->string conversion manually. It's now taking about 15 seconds to write
290 a symbol file for MCS, no longer more than a minute.
292 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added some profiling code, speeded things up, fixed
295 2002-03-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
297 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (CreateType): Return a `DieType'.
298 (RegisterType): Add the type to the type hash before creating dependency types
299 so we don't get recursion loops.
300 (RegisterPointerType): New func to register a "pointer to type" type.
301 (DieTypeDef, DiePointerType, DieArrayType, DieStringType, DieClassType): New
302 types; added support for strings, arrays and basic support for classes.
304 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
306 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Killed all methods in this interface, no longer needed.
308 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now takes a string
309 argument which is the full pathname of the assembly - you must call Close()
310 after the assembly has been written to disk since the symbol writer needs to
311 load the finished assembly to get its metadata.
313 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for enums and structs.
315 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
317 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for method parameters.
319 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
321 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Removed my custom OpenMethod(),
322 we're now using the ISymbolWriter's method.
323 (IVariable): Added `byte[] Signature' property.
325 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SetAssembly): New method. This must be called before
326 Close(); the assembly parameter is the already-written assembly, ie. it must
327 contain the full metadata.
328 (OpenMethod): Only take the token argument and set MethodInfo later in DoFixups.
329 (SetMethodSourceRange): You must call this function to tell the symbol writer
330 in which source file the method is defined.
331 (DefineLocal): Store the signature in the local.
332 (DoFixups): Use two new interncalls to set the SourceMethod's MethodInfo field
333 and the LocalVariable's Type field.
335 2002-03-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
337 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): New interface.
338 (ILocalVariable): Renamed this interface to IVariable.
339 (IVariable): Added Line, Type, Token.
340 (ILocalVariable, IMethodParameter): New interfaces, derive from IVariable.
341 (ISourceMethod): Added Blocks. Renamed FirstLine and LastLine to Start and End,
342 changed their type to ISourceLine. Removed CodeSize.
343 (ISourceLine): Renamed Line to Row, added Column. Added OffsetType and Offset.
345 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieLexicalBlock): New class.
346 (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieMethodVariable): New class.
348 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenScope, CloseScope): Implemented.
349 Reflected latest IMonoSymbolWriter interface changes.
351 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
353 * IAssemblerWriter.cs: New interface.
355 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: New class.
357 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use the IAssemblerWriter interface to make this class
358 platform and assembler independent.
360 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
362 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added FirstLine, LastLine, CodeSize and
365 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Implemented line number support.
367 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
369 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceFile, ISourceMethod, ISourceLine, ILocalVariable):
372 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenMethod): Take a System.Reflection.MethodInfo, not
375 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
377 This is an implementation of the System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.SymbolWriter
378 interface. It's still work in progress and not yet used anywhere.
380 There is some preliminary documentation in the source files and some more
381 docu in the README and README.relocation-table files.
