4 containing static wrappers for calling the `MonoDebugger_*'
5 function in S.R.Assembly.
7 2004-01-13 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
9 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Added more #region's and a comment at the
12 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SourceMethod.BuildLineNumberTable): Removed
13 it here since it's in MethodEntry again.
15 2004-01-13 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
17 * ChangeLog, MonoSymbolTable.cs: Reviewed Ben's patches. For
18 those which are not ok, I'll add detailed comments to the source
21 2003-12-28 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
23 [Revision 1.41, not approved. Martin]
24 * MonoSymbolTable.cs (MethodEntry): kill more
27 2003-12-28 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
29 [Revision 1.40, not approved. Martin]
30 * MonoSymbolTable.cs (MethodEntry): Remove the
31 SourceFileIndex field, we already have the info.
33 2003-12-28 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
35 [Revision 1.39, approved. Martin]
36 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Don't make the MethodIndexEntry
37 part of the method entry class, because it just
40 2003-12-28 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
42 [Revisions 1.37 and 1.38; not approved. Martin]
43 * MonoSymbolTable.cs (MethodEntry.BuildLineNumberTable): Removed.
45 * MonoSymbolTable.cs, MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Use
46 fewer arrays, dont use arraylists with structs.
48 2003-12-27 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
50 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: Much, much better string writing.
52 2003-12-20 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
54 [Revision 1.36, approved. Martin]
55 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Fewer StringBuilder allocs.
57 2003-12-08 Zoltan Varga <vargaz@freemail.hu>
59 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Create ArrayLists only when needed.
61 2003-12-07 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
63 [Revision 1.35, approved. Martin]
64 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: It is faster to do a linear search
65 than it is to make a hashtable. Even though the linear
66 search is O(n^2) while the hashtable is O(n), the allocation
67 cost for a hashtable is *very* high, especially when only
68 a few members will be added.
70 2003-09-06 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
72 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: Removed debugging output.
74 2003-08-05 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>

90 field. Specifies whether two local variables have the same name.
92 2003-03-13 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
94 Added basic support for lexical scopes. This is just to tell a
95 debugger that a local variable is only available in a specific
96 lexical scope and that another variable of the same name may exist
97 in another lexical scope. See debugger/test/TestLexicalScope.cs
100 * MonoSymbolTable.cs (LexicalScopeEntry): New class.
101 (LocalVariableEntry): Added `BlockIndex' field which specifies the
102 lexical scope of this variable.
104 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SourceBlock): Removed, we're now using
105 LexicalScopeEntry instead.
107 2003-02-22 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
109 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Incremented version number.
111 2003-02-22 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>

132 (MethodEntry.LocalTypes): New public variable.
134 2003-02-18 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
136 * MonoSymbolFile.cs (MethodEntry.ThisTypeIndex): Renamed to
137 ClassTypeIndex; provide this for all methods so we can get the
138 class of static methods.
140 2003-02-10 Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>
142 * Mono.CSharp.Debugger.build: passing the /r using an 'arg' node works.
143 The <include> node wasn't getting to the compiler. This fixes build
146 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: Qualify which Min method. Fixes build breakage
149 2003-02-09 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
151 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.ctor): We don't need the
152 `mbuilder_array' anymore.
154 2003-02-09 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
156 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SourceFile): Derive from SourceFileEntry.
157 (SourceBlock): We don't need source lines here.

160 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Added support for namespaces.
161 (NamespaceEntry): New struct.
162 (SourceFileEntry.DefineNamespace): New method.
163 (MethodEntry.BuildLineNumberTable): The table is already sorted,
164 so we don't need to do this here.
166 2003-02-09 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
168 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Ooops, I forgot to remove this.
170 2003-02-08 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
172 * MonoSymbolDocumentWriter.cs: Removed.
174 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SourceFile): Implement ISymbolDocumentWriter.

185 2003-02-07 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
187 * MonoSymbolFile.cs (MonoSymbolFile.ReadSymbolFile): New public
188 static method, returns null (without throwing an exception) if the
189 assembly doesn't have any debugging info.
191 2003-02-07 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
193 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Initialize): Removed the
194 custom initialization function.
196 * MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs: Removed; the code is now in
197 MonoSymbolFile.cs and MonoSymbolWriter.cs.
199 2003-02-07 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
201 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: The symbol file is now a resource in the
202 assembly instead of a separate file.
204 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Did a few more cleanups, sort the line
205 number table and remove duplicate line numbers.
207 2003-02-05 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
209 Modified the symbol file format to speed up method looks by name
210 and cleaned this up a lot.
212 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: New public class. This is now a public class
213 and writes and reads the symbol file.
215 * IMonoBinaryReader.cs: Removed.
217 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 29.
219 2003-01-17 Zoltan Varga <vargaz@freemail.hu>

225 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 28.
226 (SourceFileEntry): Read the methods when they're needed.
227 (MethodSourceEntry): Made this a struct, not a class.
229 2002-10-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
231 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 27. Added a source
232 file table which is used to search a method by source file + line number.
234 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
236 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 26. Removed all the dynamic
237 stuff, this library now just deals with the compiler generated symbol table.
238 The dynamic stuff is private between the JIT and the debugger.
240 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
242 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 25. Added information about
245 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
247 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 24. Added a type index
248 table. Write the type of a local variable or a parameter as an index
251 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
253 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Remove all the unused interfaces.
255 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

260 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
262 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 22. Provide information
263 about parameters and local variables.
265 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
267 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Use fullly qualified name for
268 System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.ISymbolWriter rather than `using' this
269 namespace. This allows us to use the name `ISymbolWriter' in our own
272 2002-09-18 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
274 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 21. Encode the source file
275 as a 4-byte length field followed by the UTF8 encoded string.
277 2002-09-18 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
279 * IMonoBinaryReader.cs: New interface.

287 2002-09-14 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
289 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs, IMonoSymbolWriter.cs, MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs:
290 Make all classes and interfaces which don't need to be public internal.
292 2002-09-14 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
294 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Use only CLS-compliant types here, bumped version
297 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: Removed, this is now in the debugger.
299 2002-09-03 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
301 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs, IAssemblerWriter.cs, MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs,
302 README, README.relocation-table, csharp-lang.[ch], gdb-csharp-support.patch,
303 gdb-variable-scopes.patch: Removed.
305 2002-09-03 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
307 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs (MonoSymbolTableReader.ImageFile): New
310 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Bumped version number to 18.
312 2002-08-27 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
314 * MonoSymbolTable.cs (MethodAddress): Removed `TrampolineAddress'.
316 2002-08-27 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
318 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Changed the file format in a way that allows us
319 open it read-only and to use a specially malloced area for all the
322 2002-08-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
324 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: New file. This is the reader for the
325 new symbol file format.
327 2002-08-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
329 * MonoSymbolTable.cs, MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs: New files. This
330 creates a binary application.dbg file which will be used by the
331 JIT to display source lines for exceptions.
333 * list.unix: Disabled the dwarf file writer in the build.
335 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
337 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Initialize): Added
338 assembly name argument. Since the symbol writer needs to read the
339 final assembly, we need to give it its full pathname.
341 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
343 * makefile.gnu, list.unix: Added.
345 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
347 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for types in referenced assemblies.
349 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
351 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for arrays.
353 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
355 2002-06-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
357 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInheritance): Make this actually work.
359 2002-06-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
361 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs, MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Put all TAG_subprogram's into their
362 corresponding struct/class declarations.
364 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
366 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
368 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
370 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use a TAG_string_type when we're using GNU extensions.
371 Make static struct/class fields actually work. Provide a TAG_typedef for struct's
374 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
376 * IMonoSymbolWriter (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added custom `Initialize' method.
378 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (Initialize): The ISymbolWriter's `Initialize' method
379 is no longer supported and throws an exception.
380 (Initialize (string, string[])): New custom initialization function.
382 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DwarfFileWriter): Added `string[] args' argument
383 to the constructor to pass command line arguments.
385 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated for GDB 5.2.
387 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
389 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now get's the
390 AssemblyBuilder's `methods' array as third argument.
391 (OpenMethod): Use this array to get the method builder rather than using an
393 (get_method_builder): Removed this interncall.
395 2002-05-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
397 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Finished the type rewrite, put back strings and arrays.
399 2002-05-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
401 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added `FullName' and `Parameters'.
402 (ITypeHandle): New interface.
404 * DwarfFileWriter.cs: Largely reorganized the type writing code. Types are
405 now represented by ITypeHandle objects which are stored in a per-dwarf-writer
406 hash table. At the moment, all types still need to be in one compile unit due
407 to lacking support in gdb - but this new type code here already supports this.
409 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Moved all the subclasses to the top-level and made them
410 public, cleaned up the code, put everything into one compile unit.
411 (DefineLocalVariable): Added a version of this function which takes useful args.
413 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
415 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added `Sources' and `Methods'
418 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (WriteSymbolTable): New public method. Moved the
419 code that writes the "mono_line_numbers" section here from the LineNumberEngine.
421 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
423 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IVariable): Replaced Token with `ISourceMethod Method'.
425 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now has an additional
426 ModuleBuilder argument.
427 (OpenMethod): Immediately call the `get_method' interncall to get the MethodBase
428 from the token, then store the MethodBase instead of the token. The token may
429 still change during the metadata library's fixup process.
430 (DoFixups): When the image has been written to disk, call the GetToken () method
431 on all MethodBuilders and all ConstructorBuilders to get the final metadata tokens.
433 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
435 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Don't use GNU extensions and produce assembler
436 output which is free of comments and extra whitespaces so that it's suitable
439 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
441 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Replaced `MethodInfo MethodInfo' with
442 `MethodBase MethodBase' and added `Type ReturnType'. We're now correctly
443 dealing with constructors and not crashing anymore.
445 2002-05-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
447 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Write a special line number table which can be read
448 in by the metadata library to get line number information in backtraces.
450 2002-05-06 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
452 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Close): Use Assembly.LoadFrom (), not
453 AppDomain.Load () to load the assembly.
455 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
457 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
458 to implement C# support.
460 * csharp-lang.c, csharp-lang.h, csharp-mono-lang.c: Copy these into your GDB
461 source directory after applying the patch.
463 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
465 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInternalString): Removed.
467 2002-04-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
469 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Reflect latest MonoString changes.
471 2002-04-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
473 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): Added `Blocks' property and `AddBlock'
474 method to support nested blocks.
476 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Correctly handle nested blocks.
478 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieMember): Provide info for all fields, not just for
479 public ones; also added DW_AT_accessibility.
480 (DieVariable): Reflected latest debug-symfile.c changes.
482 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
484 * gdb-variable-scopes.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
485 to implement variable lifetimes.
487 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
489 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieVariable): Provide info about the variable's
490 lifetime using DW_AT_begin_scope and a new baulig extension DW_AT_end_scope.
492 2002-03-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
494 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Rewrote most of the string output function, do the
495 number->string conversion manually. It's now taking about 15 seconds to write
496 a symbol file for MCS, no longer more than a minute.
498 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added some profiling code, speeded things up, fixed
501 2002-03-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
503 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (CreateType): Return a `DieType'.
504 (RegisterType): Add the type to the type hash before creating dependency types
505 so we don't get recursion loops.
506 (RegisterPointerType): New func to register a "pointer to type" type.
507 (DieTypeDef, DiePointerType, DieArrayType, DieStringType, DieClassType): New
508 types; added support for strings, arrays and basic support for classes.
510 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
512 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Killed all methods in this interface, no longer needed.
514 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now takes a string
515 argument which is the full pathname of the assembly - you must call Close()
516 after the assembly has been written to disk since the symbol writer needs to
517 load the finished assembly to get its metadata.
519 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for enums and structs.
521 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
523 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for method parameters.
525 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
527 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Removed my custom OpenMethod(),
528 we're now using the ISymbolWriter's method.
529 (IVariable): Added `byte[] Signature' property.
531 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SetAssembly): New method. This must be called before
532 Close(); the assembly parameter is the already-written assembly, ie. it must
533 contain the full metadata.
534 (OpenMethod): Only take the token argument and set MethodInfo later in DoFixups.
535 (SetMethodSourceRange): You must call this function to tell the symbol writer
536 in which source file the method is defined.
537 (DefineLocal): Store the signature in the local.
538 (DoFixups): Use two new interncalls to set the SourceMethod's MethodInfo field
539 and the LocalVariable's Type field.
541 2002-03-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
543 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): New interface.
544 (ILocalVariable): Renamed this interface to IVariable.
545 (IVariable): Added Line, Type, Token.
546 (ILocalVariable, IMethodParameter): New interfaces, derive from IVariable.
547 (ISourceMethod): Added Blocks. Renamed FirstLine and LastLine to Start and End,
548 changed their type to ISourceLine. Removed CodeSize.
549 (ISourceLine): Renamed Line to Row, added Column. Added OffsetType and Offset.
551 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieLexicalBlock): New class.
552 (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieMethodVariable): New class.
554 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenScope, CloseScope): Implemented.
555 Reflected latest IMonoSymbolWriter interface changes.
557 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
559 * IAssemblerWriter.cs: New interface.
561 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: New class.
563 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use the IAssemblerWriter interface to make this class
564 platform and assembler independent.
566 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
568 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added FirstLine, LastLine, CodeSize and
571 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Implemented line number support.
573 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
575 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceFile, ISourceMethod, ISourceLine, ILocalVariable):
578 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenMethod): Take a System.Reflection.MethodInfo, not
581 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
583 This is an implementation of the System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.SymbolWriter
584 interface. It's still work in progress and not yet used anywhere.
586 There is some preliminary documentation in the source files and some more
587 docu in the README and README.relocation-table files.
589 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: New file.
590 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: New file.
591 * MonoSymbolDocumentWriter.cs: New file.
