12 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Added support for namespaces.
13 (NamespaceEntry): New struct.
14 (SourceFileEntry.DefineNamespace): New method.

45 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Initialize): Removed the
46 custom initialization function.

49 MonoSymbolFile.cs and MonoSymbolWriter.cs.
51 2003-02-07 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
53 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: The symbol file is now a resource in the
54 assembly instead of a separate file.
56 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Did a few more cleanups, sort the line
57 number table and remove duplicate line numbers.
59 2003-02-05 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
61 Modified the symbol file format to speed up method looks by name
62 and cleaned this up a lot.
64 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: New public class. This is now a public class
65 and writes and reads the symbol file.

81 2002-10-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
83 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 27. Added a source
84 file table which is used to search a method by source file + line number.
86 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
88 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 26. Removed all the dynamic
89 stuff, this library now just deals with the compiler generated symbol table.
90 The dynamic stuff is private between the JIT and the debugger.
92 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
94 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 25. Added information about
97 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
99 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 24. Added a type index

115 about parameters and local variables.
117 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
119 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Use fullly qualified name for
120 System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.ISymbolWriter rather than `using' this
121 namespace. This allows us to use the name `ISymbolWriter' in our own
124 2002-09-18 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
126 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 21. Encode the source file
127 as a 4-byte length field followed by the UTF8 encoded string.

171 open it read-only and to use a specially malloced area for all the
174 2002-08-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
176 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: New file. This is the reader for the
177 new symbol file format.
179 2002-08-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
181 * MonoSymbolTable.cs, MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs: New files. This
182 creates a binary application.dbg file which will be used by the
183 JIT to display source lines for exceptions.
185 * list.unix: Disabled the dwarf file writer in the build.
187 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
189 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Initialize): Added
190 assembly name argument. Since the symbol writer needs to read the
191 final assembly, we need to give it its full pathname.
193 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
195 * makefile.gnu, list.unix: Added.
197 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
199 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for types in referenced assemblies.
201 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

214 corresponding struct/class declarations.
216 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
218 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
220 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
222 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use a TAG_string_type when we're using GNU extensions.
223 Make static struct/class fields actually work. Provide a TAG_typedef for struct's
226 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
228 * IMonoSymbolWriter (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added custom `Initialize' method.
230 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (Initialize): The ISymbolWriter's `Initialize' method
231 is no longer supported and throws an exception.
232 (Initialize (string, string[])): New custom initialization function.
234 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DwarfFileWriter): Added `string[] args' argument
235 to the constructor to pass command line arguments.
237 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated for GDB 5.2.
239 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
241 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now get's the
242 AssemblyBuilder's `methods' array as third argument.
243 (OpenMethod): Use this array to get the method builder rather than using an
245 (get_method_builder): Removed this interncall.
247 2002-05-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
249 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Finished the type rewrite, put back strings and arrays.
251 2002-05-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
253 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added `FullName' and `Parameters'.
254 (ITypeHandle): New interface.
256 * DwarfFileWriter.cs: Largely reorganized the type writing code. Types are
257 now represented by ITypeHandle objects which are stored in a per-dwarf-writer
258 hash table. At the moment, all types still need to be in one compile unit due
259 to lacking support in gdb - but this new type code here already supports this.
261 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Moved all the subclasses to the top-level and made them
262 public, cleaned up the code, put everything into one compile unit.
263 (DefineLocalVariable): Added a version of this function which takes useful args.
265 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
267 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added `Sources' and `Methods'
270 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (WriteSymbolTable): New public method. Moved the
271 code that writes the "mono_line_numbers" section here from the LineNumberEngine.
273 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
275 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IVariable): Replaced Token with `ISourceMethod Method'.
277 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now has an additional
278 ModuleBuilder argument.
279 (OpenMethod): Immediately call the `get_method' interncall to get the MethodBase
280 from the token, then store the MethodBase instead of the token. The token may
281 still change during the metadata library's fixup process.
282 (DoFixups): When the image has been written to disk, call the GetToken () method
283 on all MethodBuilders and all ConstructorBuilders to get the final metadata tokens.
285 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
287 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Don't use GNU extensions and produce assembler
288 output which is free of comments and extra whitespaces so that it's suitable
291 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
293 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Replaced `MethodInfo MethodInfo' with
294 `MethodBase MethodBase' and added `Type ReturnType'. We're now correctly
295 dealing with constructors and not crashing anymore.
297 2002-05-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
299 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Write a special line number table which can be read
300 in by the metadata library to get line number information in backtraces.
302 2002-05-06 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
304 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Close): Use Assembly.LoadFrom (), not
305 AppDomain.Load () to load the assembly.
307 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
309 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
310 to implement C# support.
312 * csharp-lang.c, csharp-lang.h, csharp-mono-lang.c: Copy these into your GDB
313 source directory after applying the patch.
315 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
317 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInternalString): Removed.
319 2002-04-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
321 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Reflect latest MonoString changes.
323 2002-04-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
325 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): Added `Blocks' property and `AddBlock'
326 method to support nested blocks.
328 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Correctly handle nested blocks.
330 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieMember): Provide info for all fields, not just for
331 public ones; also added DW_AT_accessibility.
332 (DieVariable): Reflected latest debug-symfile.c changes.
334 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
336 * gdb-variable-scopes.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
337 to implement variable lifetimes.
339 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
341 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieVariable): Provide info about the variable's
342 lifetime using DW_AT_begin_scope and a new baulig extension DW_AT_end_scope.
344 2002-03-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
346 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Rewrote most of the string output function, do the
347 number->string conversion manually. It's now taking about 15 seconds to write
348 a symbol file for MCS, no longer more than a minute.
350 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added some profiling code, speeded things up, fixed
353 2002-03-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
355 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (CreateType): Return a `DieType'.
356 (RegisterType): Add the type to the type hash before creating dependency types
357 so we don't get recursion loops.
358 (RegisterPointerType): New func to register a "pointer to type" type.
359 (DieTypeDef, DiePointerType, DieArrayType, DieStringType, DieClassType): New
360 types; added support for strings, arrays and basic support for classes.
362 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
364 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Killed all methods in this interface, no longer needed.
366 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now takes a string
367 argument which is the full pathname of the assembly - you must call Close()
368 after the assembly has been written to disk since the symbol writer needs to
369 load the finished assembly to get its metadata.
371 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for enums and structs.
373 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
375 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for method parameters.
377 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
379 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Removed my custom OpenMethod(),
380 we're now using the ISymbolWriter's method.
381 (IVariable): Added `byte[] Signature' property.
383 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SetAssembly): New method. This must be called before
384 Close(); the assembly parameter is the already-written assembly, ie. it must
385 contain the full metadata.
386 (OpenMethod): Only take the token argument and set MethodInfo later in DoFixups.
387 (SetMethodSourceRange): You must call this function to tell the symbol writer
388 in which source file the method is defined.
389 (DefineLocal): Store the signature in the local.
390 (DoFixups): Use two new interncalls to set the SourceMethod's MethodInfo field
391 and the LocalVariable's Type field.
393 2002-03-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
395 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): New interface.
396 (ILocalVariable): Renamed this interface to IVariable.
397 (IVariable): Added Line, Type, Token.
398 (ILocalVariable, IMethodParameter): New interfaces, derive from IVariable.
399 (ISourceMethod): Added Blocks. Renamed FirstLine and LastLine to Start and End,
400 changed their type to ISourceLine. Removed CodeSize.
401 (ISourceLine): Renamed Line to Row, added Column. Added OffsetType and Offset.
403 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieLexicalBlock): New class.
404 (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieMethodVariable): New class.
406 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenScope, CloseScope): Implemented.
407 Reflected latest IMonoSymbolWriter interface changes.
409 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
411 * IAssemblerWriter.cs: New interface.
413 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: New class.
415 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use the IAssemblerWriter interface to make this class
416 platform and assembler independent.
418 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
420 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added FirstLine, LastLine, CodeSize and
423 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Implemented line number support.
425 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
427 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceFile, ISourceMethod, ISourceLine, ILocalVariable):
430 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenMethod): Take a System.Reflection.MethodInfo, not
433 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
435 This is an implementation of the System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.SymbolWriter
436 interface. It's still work in progress and not yet used anywhere.
438 There is some preliminary documentation in the source files and some more
439 docu in the README and README.relocation-table files.
441 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: New file.
442 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: New file.
443 * MonoSymbolDocumentWriter.cs: New file.
