3 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: The symbol file is now a resource in the
4 assembly instead of a separate file.
6 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Did a few more cleanups, sort the line
7 number table and remove duplicate line numbers.
9 2003-02-05 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
11 Modified the symbol file format to speed up method looks by name
12 and cleaned this up a lot.
14 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: New public class. This is now a public class
15 and writes and reads the symbol file.
17 * IMonoBinaryReader.cs: Removed.
19 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 29.
21 2003-01-17 Zoltan Varga <vargaz@freemail.hu>
23 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenMethod): Make it work on constructors.

28 (SourceFileEntry): Read the methods when they're needed.
29 (MethodSourceEntry): Made this a struct, not a class.
31 2002-10-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
33 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 27. Added a source
34 file table which is used to search a method by source file + line number.
36 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
38 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 26. Removed all the dynamic
39 stuff, this library now just deals with the compiler generated symbol table.
40 The dynamic stuff is private between the JIT and the debugger.
42 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
44 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 25. Added information about
47 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

64 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 22. Provide information
65 about parameters and local variables.
67 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
69 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Use fullly qualified name for
70 System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.ISymbolWriter rather than `using' this
71 namespace. This allows us to use the name `ISymbolWriter' in our own
74 2002-09-18 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
76 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 21. Encode the source file
77 as a 4-byte length field followed by the UTF8 encoded string.
79 2002-09-18 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
81 * IMonoBinaryReader.cs: New interface.

85 2002-09-16 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
87 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 20.
89 2002-09-14 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
91 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs, IMonoSymbolWriter.cs, MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs:
92 Make all classes and interfaces which don't need to be public internal.
94 2002-09-14 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
96 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Use only CLS-compliant types here, bumped version
99 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: Removed, this is now in the debugger.
101 2002-09-03 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
103 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs, IAssemblerWriter.cs, MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs,
104 README, README.relocation-table, csharp-lang.[ch], gdb-csharp-support.patch,
105 gdb-variable-scopes.patch: Removed.
107 2002-09-03 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
109 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs (MonoSymbolTableReader.ImageFile): New
112 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Bumped version number to 18.
114 2002-08-27 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
116 * MonoSymbolTable.cs (MethodAddress): Removed `TrampolineAddress'.
118 2002-08-27 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
120 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Changed the file format in a way that allows us
121 open it read-only and to use a specially malloced area for all the
124 2002-08-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
126 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: New file. This is the reader for the
127 new symbol file format.
129 2002-08-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
131 * MonoSymbolTable.cs, MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs: New files. This
132 creates a binary application.dbg file which will be used by the
133 JIT to display source lines for exceptions.
135 * list.unix: Disabled the dwarf file writer in the build.
137 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
139 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Initialize): Added
140 assembly name argument. Since the symbol writer needs to read the
141 final assembly, we need to give it its full pathname.
143 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
145 * makefile.gnu, list.unix: Added.
147 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
149 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for types in referenced assemblies.
151 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
153 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for arrays.
155 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
157 2002-06-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
159 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInheritance): Make this actually work.
161 2002-06-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
163 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs, MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Put all TAG_subprogram's into their
164 corresponding struct/class declarations.
166 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
168 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
170 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
172 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use a TAG_string_type when we're using GNU extensions.
173 Make static struct/class fields actually work. Provide a TAG_typedef for struct's
176 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
178 * IMonoSymbolWriter (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added custom `Initialize' method.
180 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (Initialize): The ISymbolWriter's `Initialize' method
181 is no longer supported and throws an exception.
182 (Initialize (string, string[])): New custom initialization function.
184 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DwarfFileWriter): Added `string[] args' argument
185 to the constructor to pass command line arguments.
187 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated for GDB 5.2.
189 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
191 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now get's the
192 AssemblyBuilder's `methods' array as third argument.
193 (OpenMethod): Use this array to get the method builder rather than using an
195 (get_method_builder): Removed this interncall.
197 2002-05-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
199 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Finished the type rewrite, put back strings and arrays.
201 2002-05-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
203 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added `FullName' and `Parameters'.
204 (ITypeHandle): New interface.
206 * DwarfFileWriter.cs: Largely reorganized the type writing code. Types are
207 now represented by ITypeHandle objects which are stored in a per-dwarf-writer
208 hash table. At the moment, all types still need to be in one compile unit due
209 to lacking support in gdb - but this new type code here already supports this.
211 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Moved all the subclasses to the top-level and made them
212 public, cleaned up the code, put everything into one compile unit.
213 (DefineLocalVariable): Added a version of this function which takes useful args.
215 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
217 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added `Sources' and `Methods'
220 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (WriteSymbolTable): New public method. Moved the
221 code that writes the "mono_line_numbers" section here from the LineNumberEngine.
223 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
225 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IVariable): Replaced Token with `ISourceMethod Method'.
227 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now has an additional
228 ModuleBuilder argument.
229 (OpenMethod): Immediately call the `get_method' interncall to get the MethodBase
230 from the token, then store the MethodBase instead of the token. The token may
231 still change during the metadata library's fixup process.
232 (DoFixups): When the image has been written to disk, call the GetToken () method
233 on all MethodBuilders and all ConstructorBuilders to get the final metadata tokens.
235 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
237 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Don't use GNU extensions and produce assembler
238 output which is free of comments and extra whitespaces so that it's suitable
241 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
243 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Replaced `MethodInfo MethodInfo' with
244 `MethodBase MethodBase' and added `Type ReturnType'. We're now correctly
245 dealing with constructors and not crashing anymore.
247 2002-05-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
249 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Write a special line number table which can be read
250 in by the metadata library to get line number information in backtraces.
252 2002-05-06 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
254 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Close): Use Assembly.LoadFrom (), not
255 AppDomain.Load () to load the assembly.
257 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
259 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
260 to implement C# support.
262 * csharp-lang.c, csharp-lang.h, csharp-mono-lang.c: Copy these into your GDB
263 source directory after applying the patch.
265 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
267 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInternalString): Removed.
269 2002-04-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
271 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Reflect latest MonoString changes.
273 2002-04-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
275 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): Added `Blocks' property and `AddBlock'
276 method to support nested blocks.
278 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Correctly handle nested blocks.
280 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieMember): Provide info for all fields, not just for
281 public ones; also added DW_AT_accessibility.
282 (DieVariable): Reflected latest debug-symfile.c changes.
284 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
286 * gdb-variable-scopes.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
287 to implement variable lifetimes.
289 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
291 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieVariable): Provide info about the variable's
292 lifetime using DW_AT_begin_scope and a new baulig extension DW_AT_end_scope.
294 2002-03-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
296 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Rewrote most of the string output function, do the
297 number->string conversion manually. It's now taking about 15 seconds to write
298 a symbol file for MCS, no longer more than a minute.
300 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added some profiling code, speeded things up, fixed
303 2002-03-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
305 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (CreateType): Return a `DieType'.
306 (RegisterType): Add the type to the type hash before creating dependency types
307 so we don't get recursion loops.
308 (RegisterPointerType): New func to register a "pointer to type" type.
309 (DieTypeDef, DiePointerType, DieArrayType, DieStringType, DieClassType): New
310 types; added support for strings, arrays and basic support for classes.
312 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
314 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Killed all methods in this interface, no longer needed.
316 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now takes a string
317 argument which is the full pathname of the assembly - you must call Close()
318 after the assembly has been written to disk since the symbol writer needs to
319 load the finished assembly to get its metadata.
321 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for enums and structs.
323 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
325 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for method parameters.
327 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
329 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Removed my custom OpenMethod(),
330 we're now using the ISymbolWriter's method.
331 (IVariable): Added `byte[] Signature' property.
333 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SetAssembly): New method. This must be called before
334 Close(); the assembly parameter is the already-written assembly, ie. it must
335 contain the full metadata.
336 (OpenMethod): Only take the token argument and set MethodInfo later in DoFixups.
337 (SetMethodSourceRange): You must call this function to tell the symbol writer
338 in which source file the method is defined.
339 (DefineLocal): Store the signature in the local.
340 (DoFixups): Use two new interncalls to set the SourceMethod's MethodInfo field
341 and the LocalVariable's Type field.
343 2002-03-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
345 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): New interface.
346 (ILocalVariable): Renamed this interface to IVariable.
347 (IVariable): Added Line, Type, Token.
348 (ILocalVariable, IMethodParameter): New interfaces, derive from IVariable.
349 (ISourceMethod): Added Blocks. Renamed FirstLine and LastLine to Start and End,
350 changed their type to ISourceLine. Removed CodeSize.
351 (ISourceLine): Renamed Line to Row, added Column. Added OffsetType and Offset.
353 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieLexicalBlock): New class.
354 (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieMethodVariable): New class.
356 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenScope, CloseScope): Implemented.
357 Reflected latest IMonoSymbolWriter interface changes.
359 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
361 * IAssemblerWriter.cs: New interface.
363 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: New class.
365 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use the IAssemblerWriter interface to make this class
366 platform and assembler independent.
368 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
370 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added FirstLine, LastLine, CodeSize and
373 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Implemented line number support.
375 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
377 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceFile, ISourceMethod, ISourceLine, ILocalVariable):
380 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenMethod): Take a System.Reflection.MethodInfo, not
383 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
385 This is an implementation of the System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.SymbolWriter
386 interface. It's still work in progress and not yet used anywhere.
388 There is some preliminary documentation in the source files and some more
389 docu in the README and README.relocation-table files.
391 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: New file.
