28 MonoSymbolFile.cs and MonoSymbolWriter.cs.
30 2003-02-07 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
32 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: The symbol file is now a resource in the
33 assembly instead of a separate file.
35 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Did a few more cleanups, sort the line
36 number table and remove duplicate line numbers.
38 2003-02-05 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
40 Modified the symbol file format to speed up method looks by name
41 and cleaned this up a lot.
43 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: New public class. This is now a public class
44 and writes and reads the symbol file.

60 2002-10-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
62 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 27. Added a source
63 file table which is used to search a method by source file + line number.
65 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
67 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 26. Removed all the dynamic
68 stuff, this library now just deals with the compiler generated symbol table.
69 The dynamic stuff is private between the JIT and the debugger.
71 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
73 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 25. Added information about
76 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

96 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
98 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Use fullly qualified name for
99 System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.ISymbolWriter rather than `using' this
100 namespace. This allows us to use the name `ISymbolWriter' in our own
103 2002-09-18 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
105 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 21. Encode the source file
106 as a 4-byte length field followed by the UTF8 encoded string.

150 open it read-only and to use a specially malloced area for all the
153 2002-08-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
155 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: New file. This is the reader for the
156 new symbol file format.
158 2002-08-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
160 * MonoSymbolTable.cs, MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs: New files. This
161 creates a binary application.dbg file which will be used by the
162 JIT to display source lines for exceptions.
164 * list.unix: Disabled the dwarf file writer in the build.
166 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
168 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Initialize): Added
169 assembly name argument. Since the symbol writer needs to read the
170 final assembly, we need to give it its full pathname.
172 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
174 * makefile.gnu, list.unix: Added.
176 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

195 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
197 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
199 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
201 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use a TAG_string_type when we're using GNU extensions.
202 Make static struct/class fields actually work. Provide a TAG_typedef for struct's
205 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
207 * IMonoSymbolWriter (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added custom `Initialize' method.
209 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (Initialize): The ISymbolWriter's `Initialize' method
210 is no longer supported and throws an exception.
211 (Initialize (string, string[])): New custom initialization function.
213 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DwarfFileWriter): Added `string[] args' argument
214 to the constructor to pass command line arguments.
216 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated for GDB 5.2.
218 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
220 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now get's the
221 AssemblyBuilder's `methods' array as third argument.
222 (OpenMethod): Use this array to get the method builder rather than using an
224 (get_method_builder): Removed this interncall.
226 2002-05-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
228 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Finished the type rewrite, put back strings and arrays.
230 2002-05-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
232 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added `FullName' and `Parameters'.
233 (ITypeHandle): New interface.
235 * DwarfFileWriter.cs: Largely reorganized the type writing code. Types are
236 now represented by ITypeHandle objects which are stored in a per-dwarf-writer
237 hash table. At the moment, all types still need to be in one compile unit due
238 to lacking support in gdb - but this new type code here already supports this.
240 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Moved all the subclasses to the top-level and made them
241 public, cleaned up the code, put everything into one compile unit.
242 (DefineLocalVariable): Added a version of this function which takes useful args.
244 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
246 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added `Sources' and `Methods'
249 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (WriteSymbolTable): New public method. Moved the
250 code that writes the "mono_line_numbers" section here from the LineNumberEngine.
252 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
254 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IVariable): Replaced Token with `ISourceMethod Method'.
256 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now has an additional
257 ModuleBuilder argument.
258 (OpenMethod): Immediately call the `get_method' interncall to get the MethodBase
259 from the token, then store the MethodBase instead of the token. The token may
260 still change during the metadata library's fixup process.
261 (DoFixups): When the image has been written to disk, call the GetToken () method
262 on all MethodBuilders and all ConstructorBuilders to get the final metadata tokens.
264 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
266 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Don't use GNU extensions and produce assembler
267 output which is free of comments and extra whitespaces so that it's suitable
270 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
272 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Replaced `MethodInfo MethodInfo' with
273 `MethodBase MethodBase' and added `Type ReturnType'. We're now correctly
274 dealing with constructors and not crashing anymore.
276 2002-05-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
278 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Write a special line number table which can be read
279 in by the metadata library to get line number information in backtraces.
281 2002-05-06 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
283 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Close): Use Assembly.LoadFrom (), not
284 AppDomain.Load () to load the assembly.
286 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
288 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
289 to implement C# support.
291 * csharp-lang.c, csharp-lang.h, csharp-mono-lang.c: Copy these into your GDB
292 source directory after applying the patch.
294 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
296 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInternalString): Removed.
298 2002-04-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
300 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Reflect latest MonoString changes.
302 2002-04-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
304 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): Added `Blocks' property and `AddBlock'
305 method to support nested blocks.
307 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Correctly handle nested blocks.
309 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieMember): Provide info for all fields, not just for
310 public ones; also added DW_AT_accessibility.
311 (DieVariable): Reflected latest debug-symfile.c changes.
313 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
315 * gdb-variable-scopes.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
316 to implement variable lifetimes.
318 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
320 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieVariable): Provide info about the variable's
321 lifetime using DW_AT_begin_scope and a new baulig extension DW_AT_end_scope.
323 2002-03-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
325 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Rewrote most of the string output function, do the
326 number->string conversion manually. It's now taking about 15 seconds to write
327 a symbol file for MCS, no longer more than a minute.
329 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added some profiling code, speeded things up, fixed
332 2002-03-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
334 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (CreateType): Return a `DieType'.
335 (RegisterType): Add the type to the type hash before creating dependency types
336 so we don't get recursion loops.
337 (RegisterPointerType): New func to register a "pointer to type" type.
338 (DieTypeDef, DiePointerType, DieArrayType, DieStringType, DieClassType): New
339 types; added support for strings, arrays and basic support for classes.
341 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
343 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Killed all methods in this interface, no longer needed.
345 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now takes a string
346 argument which is the full pathname of the assembly - you must call Close()
347 after the assembly has been written to disk since the symbol writer needs to
348 load the finished assembly to get its metadata.
350 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for enums and structs.
352 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
354 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for method parameters.
356 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
358 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Removed my custom OpenMethod(),
359 we're now using the ISymbolWriter's method.
360 (IVariable): Added `byte[] Signature' property.
362 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SetAssembly): New method. This must be called before
363 Close(); the assembly parameter is the already-written assembly, ie. it must
364 contain the full metadata.
365 (OpenMethod): Only take the token argument and set MethodInfo later in DoFixups.
366 (SetMethodSourceRange): You must call this function to tell the symbol writer
367 in which source file the method is defined.
368 (DefineLocal): Store the signature in the local.
369 (DoFixups): Use two new interncalls to set the SourceMethod's MethodInfo field
370 and the LocalVariable's Type field.
372 2002-03-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
374 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): New interface.
375 (ILocalVariable): Renamed this interface to IVariable.
376 (IVariable): Added Line, Type, Token.
377 (ILocalVariable, IMethodParameter): New interfaces, derive from IVariable.
378 (ISourceMethod): Added Blocks. Renamed FirstLine and LastLine to Start and End,
379 changed their type to ISourceLine. Removed CodeSize.
380 (ISourceLine): Renamed Line to Row, added Column. Added OffsetType and Offset.
382 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieLexicalBlock): New class.
383 (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieMethodVariable): New class.
385 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenScope, CloseScope): Implemented.
386 Reflected latest IMonoSymbolWriter interface changes.
388 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
390 * IAssemblerWriter.cs: New interface.
392 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: New class.
394 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use the IAssemblerWriter interface to make this class
395 platform and assembler independent.
397 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
399 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added FirstLine, LastLine, CodeSize and
402 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Implemented line number support.
404 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
406 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceFile, ISourceMethod, ISourceLine, ILocalVariable):
409 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenMethod): Take a System.Reflection.MethodInfo, not
412 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
414 This is an implementation of the System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.SymbolWriter
415 interface. It's still work in progress and not yet used anywhere.
417 There is some preliminary documentation in the source files and some more
418 docu in the README and README.relocation-table files.
420 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: New file.
421 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: New file.
422 * MonoSymbolDocumentWriter.cs: New file.
