7 MonoSymbolFile.cs and MonoSymbolWriter.cs.
9 2003-02-07 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
11 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: The symbol file is now a resource in the
12 assembly instead of a separate file.
14 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Did a few more cleanups, sort the line
15 number table and remove duplicate line numbers.
17 2003-02-05 Martin Baulig <martin@ximian.com>
19 Modified the symbol file format to speed up method looks by name
20 and cleaned this up a lot.
22 * MonoSymbolFile.cs: New public class. This is now a public class
23 and writes and reads the symbol file.

37 (MethodSourceEntry): Made this a struct, not a class.
39 2002-10-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
41 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 27. Added a source
42 file table which is used to search a method by source file + line number.
44 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
46 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 26. Removed all the dynamic
47 stuff, this library now just deals with the compiler generated symbol table.
48 The dynamic stuff is private between the JIT and the debugger.
50 2002-09-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
52 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 25. Added information about
55 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>

73 about parameters and local variables.
75 2002-09-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
77 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Use fullly qualified name for
78 System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.ISymbolWriter rather than `using' this
79 namespace. This allows us to use the name `ISymbolWriter' in our own
82 2002-09-18 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
84 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Set version number to 21. Encode the source file
85 as a 4-byte length field followed by the UTF8 encoded string.

100 Make all classes and interfaces which don't need to be public internal.
102 2002-09-14 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
104 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Use only CLS-compliant types here, bumped version
107 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: Removed, this is now in the debugger.
109 2002-09-03 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
111 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs, IAssemblerWriter.cs, MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs,
112 README, README.relocation-table, csharp-lang.[ch], gdb-csharp-support.patch,
113 gdb-variable-scopes.patch: Removed.

124 * MonoSymbolTable.cs (MethodAddress): Removed `TrampolineAddress'.
126 2002-08-27 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
128 * MonoSymbolTable.cs: Changed the file format in a way that allows us
129 open it read-only and to use a specially malloced area for all the
132 2002-08-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
134 * MonoSymbolTableReader.cs: New file. This is the reader for the
135 new symbol file format.
137 2002-08-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
139 * MonoSymbolTable.cs, MonoSymbolTableWriter.cs: New files. This
140 creates a binary application.dbg file which will be used by the
141 JIT to display source lines for exceptions.
143 * list.unix: Disabled the dwarf file writer in the build.
145 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
147 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Initialize): Added
148 assembly name argument. Since the symbol writer needs to read the
149 final assembly, we need to give it its full pathname.
151 2002-08-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
153 * makefile.gnu, list.unix: Added.
155 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
157 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for types in referenced assemblies.
159 2002-07-05 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
161 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for arrays.
163 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
165 2002-06-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
167 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInheritance): Make this actually work.
169 2002-06-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
171 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs, MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Put all TAG_subprogram's into their
172 corresponding struct/class declarations.
174 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
176 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated.
178 2002-06-28 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
180 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use a TAG_string_type when we're using GNU extensions.
181 Make static struct/class fields actually work. Provide a TAG_typedef for struct's
184 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
186 * IMonoSymbolWriter (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added custom `Initialize' method.
188 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (Initialize): The ISymbolWriter's `Initialize' method
189 is no longer supported and throws an exception.
190 (Initialize (string, string[])): New custom initialization function.
192 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DwarfFileWriter): Added `string[] args' argument
193 to the constructor to pass command line arguments.
195 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: Updated for GDB 5.2.
197 2002-05-30 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
199 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now get's the
200 AssemblyBuilder's `methods' array as third argument.
201 (OpenMethod): Use this array to get the method builder rather than using an
203 (get_method_builder): Removed this interncall.
205 2002-05-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
207 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Finished the type rewrite, put back strings and arrays.
209 2002-05-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
211 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added `FullName' and `Parameters'.
212 (ITypeHandle): New interface.
214 * DwarfFileWriter.cs: Largely reorganized the type writing code. Types are
215 now represented by ITypeHandle objects which are stored in a per-dwarf-writer
216 hash table. At the moment, all types still need to be in one compile unit due
217 to lacking support in gdb - but this new type code here already supports this.
219 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Moved all the subclasses to the top-level and made them
220 public, cleaned up the code, put everything into one compile unit.
221 (DefineLocalVariable): Added a version of this function which takes useful args.
223 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
225 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Added `Sources' and `Methods'
228 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (WriteSymbolTable): New public method. Moved the
229 code that writes the "mono_line_numbers" section here from the LineNumberEngine.
231 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
233 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IVariable): Replaced Token with `ISourceMethod Method'.
235 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now has an additional
236 ModuleBuilder argument.
237 (OpenMethod): Immediately call the `get_method' interncall to get the MethodBase
238 from the token, then store the MethodBase instead of the token. The token may
239 still change during the metadata library's fixup process.
240 (DoFixups): When the image has been written to disk, call the GetToken () method
241 on all MethodBuilders and all ConstructorBuilders to get the final metadata tokens.
243 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
245 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Don't use GNU extensions and produce assembler
246 output which is free of comments and extra whitespaces so that it's suitable
249 2002-05-22 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
251 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Replaced `MethodInfo MethodInfo' with
252 `MethodBase MethodBase' and added `Type ReturnType'. We're now correctly
253 dealing with constructors and not crashing anymore.
255 2002-05-21 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
257 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Write a special line number table which can be read
258 in by the metadata library to get line number information in backtraces.
260 2002-05-06 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
262 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter.Close): Use Assembly.LoadFrom (), not
263 AppDomain.Load () to load the assembly.
265 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
267 * gdb-csharp-support.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
268 to implement C# support.
270 * csharp-lang.c, csharp-lang.h, csharp-mono-lang.c: Copy these into your GDB
271 source directory after applying the patch.
273 2002-04-26 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
275 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieInternalString): Removed.
277 2002-04-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
279 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Reflect latest MonoString changes.
281 2002-04-13 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
283 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): Added `Blocks' property and `AddBlock'
284 method to support nested blocks.
286 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs: Correctly handle nested blocks.
288 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieMember): Provide info for all fields, not just for
289 public ones; also added DW_AT_accessibility.
290 (DieVariable): Reflected latest debug-symfile.c changes.
292 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
294 * gdb-variable-scopes.patch: A patch for GDB (against the latest CVS version)
295 to implement variable lifetimes.
297 2002-04-12 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
299 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (DieVariable): Provide info about the variable's
300 lifetime using DW_AT_begin_scope and a new baulig extension DW_AT_end_scope.
302 2002-03-29 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
304 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: Rewrote most of the string output function, do the
305 number->string conversion manually. It's now taking about 15 seconds to write
306 a symbol file for MCS, no longer more than a minute.
308 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added some profiling code, speeded things up, fixed
311 2002-03-25 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
313 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (CreateType): Return a `DieType'.
314 (RegisterType): Add the type to the type hash before creating dependency types
315 so we don't get recursion loops.
316 (RegisterPointerType): New func to register a "pointer to type" type.
317 (DieTypeDef, DiePointerType, DieArrayType, DieStringType, DieClassType): New
318 types; added support for strings, arrays and basic support for classes.
320 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
322 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: Killed all methods in this interface, no longer needed.
324 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (MonoSymbolWriter): The constructor now takes a string
325 argument which is the full pathname of the assembly - you must call Close()
326 after the assembly has been written to disk since the symbol writer needs to
327 load the finished assembly to get its metadata.
329 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for enums and structs.
331 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
333 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Added support for method parameters.
335 2002-03-24 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
337 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (IMonoSymbolWriter): Removed my custom OpenMethod(),
338 we're now using the ISymbolWriter's method.
339 (IVariable): Added `byte[] Signature' property.
341 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (SetAssembly): New method. This must be called before
342 Close(); the assembly parameter is the already-written assembly, ie. it must
343 contain the full metadata.
344 (OpenMethod): Only take the token argument and set MethodInfo later in DoFixups.
345 (SetMethodSourceRange): You must call this function to tell the symbol writer
346 in which source file the method is defined.
347 (DefineLocal): Store the signature in the local.
348 (DoFixups): Use two new interncalls to set the SourceMethod's MethodInfo field
349 and the LocalVariable's Type field.
351 2002-03-23 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
353 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceBlock): New interface.
354 (ILocalVariable): Renamed this interface to IVariable.
355 (IVariable): Added Line, Type, Token.
356 (ILocalVariable, IMethodParameter): New interfaces, derive from IVariable.
357 (ISourceMethod): Added Blocks. Renamed FirstLine and LastLine to Start and End,
358 changed their type to ISourceLine. Removed CodeSize.
359 (ISourceLine): Renamed Line to Row, added Column. Added OffsetType and Offset.
361 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieLexicalBlock): New class.
362 (MonoDwarfFileWriter.DieMethodVariable): New class.
364 * MonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenScope, CloseScope): Implemented.
365 Reflected latest IMonoSymbolWriter interface changes.
367 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
369 * IAssemblerWriter.cs: New interface.
371 * AssemblerWriterI386.cs: New class.
373 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Use the IAssemblerWriter interface to make this class
374 platform and assembler independent.
376 2002-03-20 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
378 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceMethod): Added FirstLine, LastLine, CodeSize and
381 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: Implemented line number support.
383 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
385 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (ISourceFile, ISourceMethod, ISourceLine, ILocalVariable):
388 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (OpenMethod): Take a System.Reflection.MethodInfo, not
391 2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
393 This is an implementation of the System.Diagnostics.SymbolStore.SymbolWriter
394 interface. It's still work in progress and not yet used anywhere.
396 There is some preliminary documentation in the source files and some more
397 docu in the README and README.relocation-table files.
399 * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: New file.
400 * MonoDwarfFileWriter.cs: New file.
401 * MonoSymbolDocumentWriter.cs: New file.
