1 2005-04-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
3 * Syscall.cs: Update comment specifying which functions belong in Syscall.
4 * UnixConvert.cs: Add XattrFlags conversion functions.
5 * UnixMarshal.cs: Remove warning about self-assignment.
7 2005-04-16 Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org>
9 * Syscall.cs: Add bindings for extended attribute manipulation
11 2005-04-05 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@novell.com>
13 * Syscall.cs: Set entry point for sys_syslog to be syslog.
14 Include the syslog.h header in the generated map so that we
15 actually do the mapping.
17 2005-03-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
19 * UnixConvert.cs: Add ToFopenMode() methods, which convert FileMode/FileAccess
20 into an fopen(3) mode string. ToOpenFlags() should throw
21 ArgumentOutOfRangeException for argument violations.
22 * StdioFileStream.cs: Add constructor overloads accepting filename and
23 FileMode/FileAccess overloads; Compatibility fixes with regression tests;
24 remove IDisposable implementation since System.IO.Stream already
25 implements it (which calls Close() for us).
27 2005-03-17 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
29 * Stdlib.cs: Move Errno-related functionality into Stdlib from Syscall,
30 since (1) errno is part of C89, and (2) StdioFileStream will need it, and
31 StdioFileStream shouldn't use Syscall. Add [UnmanagedFunctionPointer]
32 attribute to SignalHandler for .NET 2.0 (since signal handlers use C
33 calling convention, not Stdcall).
34 * Syscall.cs: Move Errno-related functionality into Stdlib.
35 * UnixMarshal.cs: Use ERANGE not EPERM when figuring out appropriate
36 translator, since ERANGE is part of C99 and EPERM isn't. Use Stdlib
37 instead of Syscall for Errno-related functionality.
39 2005-02-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
41 * UnixFile.cs: Cope with changes in UnixStream.
42 * UnixStream.cs: Change FileDescriptor property to Handle for consistency.
43 * StdioFileStream.cs: Change FileStream property to Handle for consistency.
45 2005-02-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
47 * Syscall.cs: Remove public sys_ methods. Some were public by mistake, and
48 others so that users could manually marshal strings if desired. Manually
49 marshaling strings shouldn't be necessary, though, so remove them too.
51 2005-02-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
53 * StdioFileStream.cs: Fix Length property to actually return the size of the
54 file, not the # of bytes from the current position to EOF. Oops.
56 2005-01-31 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
58 * Stdlib.cs: Import "msvcrt", not "libc". These members are part of the
59 ANSI C standard, and thus should be present on Windows via msvcrt.dll
60 (except snprintf, until they catch up to C99). Change the calling
61 convention of all functions to Cdecl, as the .NET default is Stdcall.
62 Changing the calling convention isn't needed in Syscall, as it can only be
63 run on Unix platforms anyway, where the default is Cdecl.
64 * Syscall.cs: Add LIBC member that points to the real "libc"; we can't use
65 the imported definition from Stdlib as "msvcrt" doesn't exist on Unix.
67 2005-01-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
69 * Stdlib.cs: sys_* functions shouldn't be public.
71 2005-01-13 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
73 * make-map.cs: libMonoPosixHelper exports Mono_Posix prefixes, not Mono_Unix
74 prefixes, so change the type and namespace to generate compatible code.
75 * Syscall.cs: Change OpenFlags values so they match the Linux values.
77 2005-01-13 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
79 * Stdlib.cs: Use Stdlib.LIBC instead of "libc".
80 * StdioFileStream.cs: Add FilePosition property (not that I expect anyone to
81 use it) and Rewind() method.
83 2005-01-05 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
85 * StdioFileStream.cs: Added; System.IO.Stream wrapper for C FILE struct.
86 * Stdlib.cs: Correct visibility of ftell().
88 2005-01-05 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
90 * Stdlib.cs: Re-order declarations to match the order used in the
91 C99 Standard Annex B; Complete <stdio.h> exports (except for those not
92 worth supporting); Add non-"unsafe" versions of fread(3), fwrite(3) and
93 add some rudimentary buffer-overflow checking; Add <stdlib.h> exports such
94 as getenv(3), exit(3), rand(3), EXIT_SUCCESS, RAND_MAX, etc.
96 2005-01-03 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
98 * Syscall.cs: Update endfsent() and setfsent() declarations, as these must
99 now be implemented in MonoPosixHelper.
101 2005-01-01 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
103 * Stdlib.cs, Syscall.cs: Minimize duplicate declarations of
104 "MonoPosixHelper" for use in DllImport statements.
106 2005-01-01 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
108 * Stdlib.cs: Don't use C# v2 features; fixes build under CSC.EXE.
110 2004-12-30 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
112 * Stdlib.cs: On miguel's suggestion, rename Sighandler_t to SignalHandler.
114 2004-12-30 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
116 * Stdlib.cs: Implement all C89 <stdio.h> functions except for the scanf(3)
117 family. These are too dangerous to expose.
119 2004-12-30 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
121 * CdeclFunctions.cs: Remove warning about unused variable.
122 * Stdlib.cs: Make signal(2) sane and (hopefully) complete.
123 * Syscall.cs: Fix cuserid Obsolete message to reference correct class name.
124 * UnixProcess.cs: Remove warning about unused variable.
125 * UnixMarshal.cs: Remove warnings about unused variables.
127 2004-12-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
129 * UnixPath.cs: Add ReadSymbolicLink(), which takes an intelligent approach
130 to reading symlinks (since their contents may be any size, we grow the
131 buffer dynamically to fit them all, instead of assuming a maximum size).
132 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Remove MaxContentsSize.
134 2004-12-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
136 * UnixPath.cs: Add check for when symlink points to a full path name.
138 2004-12-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
140 * Syscall.cs: Fix Object.Equals implementations.
141 * UnixPath.cs: New & improved, with Testing! GetRealPath() is changed so
142 that it doesn't walk the entire path looking for symlinks, it just reads
143 the leaf. GetCompletRealPath() walks the entire path resolving symlinks.
144 GetCanonicalPath() added, which "cleans up" a path (removing extraneous
145 "." and ".." entries).
146 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Rename ContentsLength -> MaxContentsSize.
148 2004-12-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
150 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Add a link(2) wrapper, CreateLink(). Strictly
151 speaking it's only "safe" to do this on files, but an exception will be
152 returned if the user tries to hard link directories (because of EPERM),
153 unless the user is root, in which case it should be allowed anyway...
155 2004-12-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
157 * CdeclFunctions.cs: Correct the comments for AMD64
158 * UnixDirectoryInfo.cs: override Name; add Parent & Root properties;
159 Correct Path usage (s/Path/FullPath/g).
160 * UnixDriveInfo.cs: Added. Based on .NET 2.0 System.IO.DriveInfo docs,
161 provides statvfs(2) and getfsfile(3) information about a mounted volume.
162 GetDrives() wraps getfsent(3), thus parsing /etc/fstab.
163 * UnixFile.cs: Use UnixConver.ToOpenFlags, deleting the local version.
164 * UnixFileInfo.cs: Use UnixConver.ToOpenFlags, deleting the local version;
165 override Name; add DirectoryName and Directory properties;
166 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Make more .NET-like, using FullPath and
167 OriginalPath protected members, abstract Name property; Add
168 CreateSymbolicLink; Remove ReadLink (it's now
169 UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.Contents); Use lstat(2) for Create(string), so we
170 properly detect Symbolic Links.
171 * UnixPath.cs: Added; Path manipulation utility functions.
172 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs:
174 - override new abstract member Name;
175 - rename ReadLink to ContentsPath (and Contents) properties
176 (why "Contents"? Because readlink(2) says "readlink places the
177 contents of the symbolic link in the buffer...")
178 - Add CreateSymbolicLinkTo(), which creates a symlink to the specified
181 2004-12-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
183 * Stdlib.cs: Add syslog(3) to XPrintfFunctions; Add additional printf(3)
184 and fprintf(3) overload which properly escape the format string
185 (by using "%s" as the format for the user-supplied message).
186 * Syscall.cs: Add #regions for enummerations, structures, classes; Wrap
187 syslog(3) and related enumerations; fix operator!= on Dirent, Group;
188 wrap {f}statvfs(2); wrap <fstab.h> entries (getfsent(3), etc.).
189 * UnixConvert.cs: Add Syslog-releated enumeration translation functions;
190 Move ToOpenFlags here from UnixFile and UnixFileInfo.
191 * UnixMarshal.cs: Missing P/Invoke methods throw
192 EntryPointNotFoundException, not MissingMethodException; add
193 EscapeFormatString, which escapes printf-style format strings so that they
194 can be safely handed off to native code (avoiding stack overflow, etc);
195 make CreateExceptionForError internal.
197 2004-12-15 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
199 * Stdlib.cs: Add more <stdio.h> wrappers, such as fread(3) and fwrite(3).
200 These will be useful in implementing System.IO.Stream subclass for
201 reading/writing to a FILE*. Fix a typo in the realloc(3) DllImport.
202 * Syscall.cs: Fix the sys_kill and sys_crypt declarations.
203 * CdeclFunction.cs: Document calling convention problems on AMD64.
205 2004-11-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
207 * CdeclFunction.cs: Added.
208 * Stdlib.cs: Re-add printf(3) and fprintf(3). They may not be portable (the
209 jury is still out on that; the AMD64 SysV ABI looks like it should be
210 portable to AMD64 to my eyes), but they will work on *some* platforms, so
211 we should permit it. The new implementation takes a page out of
212 cocoa-sharp: use System.Reflection.Emit to generate a P/Invoke method at
213 runtime to invoke printf(3) or fprintf(3). This way, we can export a
214 params signature to C# code, permitting natural usage such as:
215 Stdlib.printf ("Hello, %s world! (%i)\n", "silly", 42);
216 * Syscall.cs: Mark which headers are complete, which functions still need
217 wrapping (for headers which have anything done to them), add #region
218 blocks for each header;
219 export mkfifo(3), fexecve(), getppid(2), setlogin(); fix sleep(3) export.
220 * UnixEnvironment.cs: Export a friendly getppid(2) wrapper.
221 GetParentProcessId isn't in UnixProcess as there's no way (that I know of)
222 to get the Parent's Parent, so it can't be a class member, and exposing it
223 as a static member of UnixProcess doesn't make sense to me, as it isn't
224 general. Added GetUserShells().
225 * UnixProcess.cs: Change constructor to internal, so it can be used from
228 2004-11-16 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
230 * Stdlib.cs: Remove printf(3) and fprintf(3). These are vararg/CDECL
231 functions, and it's not portable to call them in this manner.
232 (It's not portable because some architectures, such as AMD64, use a
233 "cookie" as part of the vararg calling sequence to help reduce buffer
234 overflow exploits. Trying to call vararg functions as if they were an
235 overloaded function will not properly set this hardware cookie, resulting
236 in a hardware exception. Talk to lupus for more information.)
238 2004-11-16 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
240 * Syscall.cs, UnixConvert.cs: Remove mount- and umount-related
241 functionality. Mount/umount is inherently non-portable (see the C code
242 for mount/umount), and trying to provide a consistent interface is
243 impossible. If you need mount/umount support, use the command-line
244 programs mount(1) and umount(1).
246 2004-11-16 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
248 + Lots o' Renames, as the namespace changed.
249 * PosixConvert.cs: Moved to UnixConvert.cs:
250 * PosixDirectory.cs: Moved to UnixDirectory.cs:
251 * PosixEnvironment.cs: Moved to UnixEnvironment.cs:
252 * PosixDirectoryInfo.cs: Moved to UnixDirectoryInfo.cs:
253 * PosixFile.cs: Moved to UnixFile.cs:
254 * PosixFileInfo.cs: Moved to UnixFileInfo.cs:
255 * PosixFileSystemInfo.cs: Moved to UnixFileSystemInfo.cs:
256 * PosixGroup.cs: Moved to UnixGroup.cs:
257 * PosixGroupInfo.cs: Moved to UnixGroupInfo.cs:
258 * PosixIOException.cs: Moved to UnixIOException.cs:
259 * PosixMarshal.cs: Moved to UnixMarshal.cs:
260 * PosixProcess.cs: Moved to UnixProcess.cs:
261 * PosixStream.cs: Moved to UnixStream.cs:
262 * PosixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Moved to UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs:
263 * PosixUser.cs: Moved to UnixUser.cs:
264 * PosixUserInfo.cs: Moved to UnixUserInfo.cs:
265 * Catalog.cs, IncludeAttribute.cs, MapAttribute.cs, PeerCred.cs, Stdlib.cs,
266 Syscall.cs, UnixConvert.cs, UnixDirectory.cs, UnixDirectoryInfo.cs,
267 UnixEndPoint.cs, UnixEnvironment.cs, UnixFile.cs, UnixFileInfo.cs,
268 UnixFileSystemInfo.cs, UnixGroup.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs, UnixIOException.cs,
269 UnixMarshal.cs, UnixProcess.cs, UnixStream.cs, UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs,
270 UnixUser.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs: Deal with renamed classes/members.
272 2004-11-15 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
274 * PosixUserInfo.cs: Make the PosixUserInfo(Passwd) constructor public;
275 override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
276 * PosixGroupInfo.cs: Make the PosixGroupInfo(Group) constructor public;
277 override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
278 * PosixIOException.cs: Use PosixMarshal.GetErrorDescription instead of
279 calling Syscall.strerror_r directly
280 * PosixMarshal.cs: Add GetErrorDescription. Strerror_r() isn't portable, so
281 GetErrorDescription() first tries strerror_r(), and if it fails falls back
284 - Seal the Dirent class. It has no virtual members, so there's no point
285 in it being non-sealed. Override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
286 - Seal the Group class. It has no virtual members, so there's no point
287 in it being non-sealed. Override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
288 Provide operator== and operator!=.
289 - Seal the Passwd class. It has no virtual members, so there's no point
290 in it being non-sealed. Override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
291 Provide operator== and operator!=.
292 - Remove strerror_r() convenience overload. This is now
293 PosixMarshal.GetErrorDescription().
295 2004-11-12 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
297 * Syscall.cs: Export time-related functions (gettimeofday, settimeofday,
298 utime, utimes), mknod.
300 2004-11-07 Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>
302 * PosixEnvironment.cs : csc build fix. see bug #69195.
303 * PosixStream.cs : csc build fix. see bug #69196.
305 2004-11-05 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
307 * PosixConvert.cs: New file; conversion functions for Mono.Posix types.
308 * PosixDirectory.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over directory information.
309 * PosixDirectoryInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over directory information.
310 * PosixEnvironment.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over environment information.
311 * PosixFile.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over file information.
312 * PosixFileInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over file information.
313 * PosixFileSystemInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over `stat'.
314 * PosixGroup.cs: New file; User Group-related functionality
315 * PosixGroupInfo.cs: New file; User Group-related functionality
316 * PosixIOException.cs: New file; Exception for POSIX-generated exceptions.
317 * PosixMarshal.cs: New file; utility functions for marshaling, etc.
318 * PosixProcess.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over process information.
319 * PosixStream.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over file descriptors.
320 * PosixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over symbolic links.
321 * PosixUser.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over user information.
322 * PosixUserInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over user information.
323 * Stdlib.cs: New file; C standard library exports.
324 * Syscall.cs: Effective re-write.
325 - Organize exports by header file
326 - add additional enumerations (Error for the E* error values, etc.)
327 - always explicitly specify enumeration underlying type
328 - Use a new wrapping infrastructure so that ABI-stable types are exported
329 - For example, size_t is exported as ulong, not IntPtr.
330 - Wrap more functions, and wrap them better (such as getpwnam).
331 - This release is NOT backward compatible. Many names are the same, and
332 hopefully they're still compatible, but no effort was made to maintain
333 compatibility. For example, FileMode was removed and replaced with
334 FilePermissions, to avoid a name conflict with System.IO.FileMode.
335 - Change umount() to use MonoPosixHelper: portability fix for Mac OS X.
336 * make-map.cs: Another effective re-write, to clean up the code, produce
337 better output, and produce more output. For example, most of
338 PosixConvert can be auto-generated, so it is (modulo version delays and
339 bootstrap issues). `map.c' is now conditional on all macros, and has
340 error checking for invalid/unsupported values.
342 2004-09-18 Jackson Harper <jackson@ximian.com>
344 * Syscall.cs: Add support for poll ().
346 2004-09-18 Jackson Harper <jackson@ximian.com>
348 * make-map.cs: Use field value not name for #defines.
350 2004-09-14 Loren Bandiera <lorenb@mmgsecurity.com>
352 * Syscall.cs: Added method for getpwnam which uses Passwd
354 * macros.c: Helper function for getpwnam
355 (In committing, Josh Tauberer also added getpwuid.)
357 2004-07-09 Dick Porter <dick@ximian.com>
359 * PeerCred.cs: Get the unix socket peer credentials.
361 2004-05-26 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>
363 * Syscall.cs: Do not let the runtime handle strings, as we do not
364 own those strings, we must transform the char * into a string
367 2004-05-03 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>
369 * Syscall.cs: Add symlink
371 2004-04-19 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>
373 * Syscall.cs: Use hex values for FileMode, since C# does not have
374 an octal integer mode.
376 2004-03-30 Joshua Tauberer <tauberer@for.net>
378 * Added readlink, strerror, opendir, readdir, closedir
379 * Added Mono.Posix.Stat.UnixToDateTime(long unixtime) --> DateTime
381 2004-03-11 Joshua Tauberer <tauberer@for.net>
383 * Syscall.cs: Removed argument to getgid that shouldn't be there.
384 Added getusername, getgroupname which wrap getpwuid, getgrgid
385 without dealing with pointers to structures.
386 Removed duplicate FileMode enum nested in Syscall class.
387 Added stat and lstat, which use StatMode enumeration
388 (like FileMode but nicer and complete) and Stat struct.
389 * macros.c: Helper functions for getpwuid, getgrgid, stat, lstat.
391 2004-01-07 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
393 * Syscall.cs: moved the assembly attribute to a proper place
395 * make-map.cs: use reflection to invoke the properties, as it
396 fails under MS runtime.
399 2004-01-05 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
401 * Syscall.cs: moved assembly attribute and added unsafe block to fix
402 the build on windows.
404 2003-11-11 Wojciech Polak <polak@gnu.org
406 * Syscall.cs: Applied patch from Wojciech Polak <polak@gnu.org> to
409 2003-05-16 Dick Porter <dick@ximian.com>
411 * UnixEndPoint.cs: New property to get and set the filename, like
412 the IPEndPoint has for the IP address. Also implement ToString().
414 Tue Apr 29 16:53:56 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>
416 * Syscall.cs: remove the unsafe mess.
418 2003-02-05 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
421 * UnixEndPoint.cs: first file.
