1 2005-09-20 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
3 * CdeclFunction.cs: [Obsolete]d by Mono.Unix.Native.CdeclFunction.
5 * Stdlib.cs: [Obsolete] the types; use the Mono.Unix.Native.* types instead.
6 * StdioFileStream.cs: Add GC.KeepAlive statements to prevent premature GC's
8 * Syscall.cs: Remove [Map] attribute from all types; [CLSCompliant(false)]
9 work; [Obsolete] all types and suggest using the Mono.Unix.Native.*
10 replacements; remove [IncludeAttribute] -- superseded by
11 Mono.Unix.Native/Syscall.cs's [HeaderAttribte] for CLS compliance.
12 * UnixConvert.cs: [Obsolete]d by Mono.Unix.Native.NativeConvert.
13 * UnixDirectory.cs, UnixDriveInfo.cs, UnixEnvironment.cs,
14 UnixGroup.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs,
15 UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs, UnixUser.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs:
16 Add [CLSCompliant(false)] as necessary.
17 * UnixFile.cs, UnixDirectory.cs, UnixFileInfo.cs, UnixFileSystemInfo.cs:
18 [CLSCompliant(false)], addition of method overloads for [Obsolete]d types,
19 warn about changing return types.
20 * UnixProcess.cs, UnixStream.cs: Add [CLSCompliant(false)] as necessary,
21 and warn about changing property types.
23 2005-09-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
25 * Stdlib.cs: Cache delegates passed to Stdlib.signal() so that they survive
26 garbage collections. Delegates can be removed by calling Stdlib.signal()
27 again with one of the Stdlib.SIG_* values (or the original return value of
29 * UnixUser.cs, UnixGroup.cs, UnixEnvironment.cs: Clarify "Id" (int) vs.
30 "Name" (string) differences by always using a Id or Name suffix.
32 2005-07-01 Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org>
34 * Syscall.cs: The entire extended attribute API now goes through MPH, to
35 be shared between both Linux's and FreeBSD's similar EA implementations.
37 2005-06-29 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>
39 * StdioFileStream.cs: Only flush if we do not own the handle, as
40 fclose does a flush internally.
42 2005-06-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
44 * UnixEnvironment: Add User, Login properties.
45 * Syscall.cs: Add locking around cuserid, crypt, encrypt, getlogin.
47 2005-06-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
49 * Syscall.cs: SyslogFacility shouldn't be [Flags] either. Sigh.
50 Thanks to Vorobiev Maksim for pointing this out.
51 * make-map.cs: Don't generate conversion code for [Obsolete] enum members.
52 This assumes that (1) the enum member's value is invalid, or (2) a
53 corrected member with the same value exists. This fix allows us to
54 obsolete invalid members (instead of removing them) without screwing up
55 the generated code -- consider LOG_USRE, the mis-spelling of LOG_USER.
56 Since SyslogFacility was (incorrectly) a [Flags] enum, since both LOG_USER
57 and LOG_USRE had the same value, we'd get a EINVAL error trying to convert
58 a valid value, since LOG_USRE would exist, would be checked for, and the
59 check would succeed (since it had the same value as LOG_USER).
60 This change allows us to be slightly more permissive with versioning.
62 2005-06-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
64 * Syscall.cs: correct value of LOG_CRON (it shouldn't be identical to
65 LOG_UUCP). SyslogLevel shouldn't have [Flags]. Move LOG_USER to be
66 before LOG_USRE so that the generated map code doesn't return EINVAL when
67 LOG_USER is specified.
69 2005-06-15 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
71 * Syscall.cs: s/LOG_USRE/LOG_USER/. Fixes #75274.
72 Thanks to Martin Honermeyer.
74 2005-06-09 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
76 * make-map.cs: Look for [Obsolete] members, and mark the UnixConvert
77 conversion functions with the same [Obsolete] message. This should permit
78 more graceful deprecation of enumerations in the future (rather than just
81 2005-06-08 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
83 * Syscall.cs: Add execvp(2). (This should have been added with the other
84 exec(2) additions...).
86 2005-06-08 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
88 * Syscall.cs: Update comment with correct exception type.
89 * UnixConvert.cs: Rename ToFilePermissions(string) to
90 FromOctalPermissionString; Add ToOctalPermissionString,
91 FromUnixPermissionString, ToUnixPermissionString.
92 * UnixMarshal.cs: Remove ErrorMarshal.HaveStrerror_r and
93 UnixMarshal.IsErrorDescriptionThreadSafe. strerror(3) is now thread-safe
94 (from managed code, at least). Update comment.
96 2005-06-07 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
98 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Don't use lstat(2), use stat(2). This fits with
99 expectations better -- if you create a UnixFileInfo() on a symlink, you
100 want to get the target's information, not the symlink's info. Add
101 GetFileStatus so UnixSymbolicLinkInfo can override this behavior.
102 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Implement GetFileStatus() (which calls lstat(2)).
104 2005-06-07 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
106 * Syscall.cs: Document naming conventions.
108 2005-06-05 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
110 * make-map.cs: Change automatic "ifdef HAVE_<header>" support prefix to
111 "ah:" from ">". I hadn't known about ">", and "ah:" is (somewhat) more
113 * Syscall.cs: Change IncludeAttribute to put all headers/defines one/line.
114 It's easier to read this way. Add "ah:sys/xattr.h" to the headers.
116 2005-06-03 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
118 * Stdlib.cs: Add sanity checking to snprintf(3) to avoid buffer overflows.
120 2005-06-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
122 * StdioFileStream.cs: Remove FilePosition property & replace with
123 SaveFilePosition/RestoreFilePosition methods. Since FilePosition has a
124 finalizer, it's not right to have implicitly created instances.
126 - FilePosition: GC.SuppressFinalize() should be last in Dispose()
127 (following .NET guidelines).
128 - Syscall: Add locking around functions most likely to be thread unsafe.
129 This should provide some level of thread-safety to managed code.
130 * Syscall.cs: Add locking around functions most likely to be thread unsafe;
131 add mkstemp(3) export.
132 * UnixEnvironment.cs: GetUserShells should be atomic (from managed code).
133 * UnixGroup.cs: GetLocalGroups should be atomic (from managed code).
134 * UnixGroupInfo.cs: Add ToGroup() method to retrieve underlying Group info.
135 * UnixUser.cs: GetLocalUsers should be atomic (from managed code).
136 * UnixUserInfo.cs: Add ToPasswd () method to retrieve underlying Passwd info.
137 * UnixDriveInfo.cs: GetDrives should be atomic (from managed code).
139 2005-05-31 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
141 * Stdlib.cs: Add comment for atexit(3) so I don't try to add it.
142 * Syscall.cs: Add fcntl(2) overload which takes DirectoryNotifyFlags (so
143 that *something* accepts a DirectoryNotifyFlags); Fix IncludeAttribute
144 header files (">sys/poll.h" doesn't exist);
145 Add additional <sys/mman.h> functions mmap, munmap, msync, mlock, munlock,
146 mlockall, munlockall, mremap, mincore, remap_file_pages.
147 * UnixConvert.cs: Add conversion functions for MmapFlags, MmapProt, MsyncFlags,
148 MlockallFlags, MremapFlags.
150 2005-05-31 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
152 * Syscall.cs, UnixConvert.cs: Rename LockFlags to LockfCommand. This is a more
153 consistent naming, and it's more correct (they weren't flags in the first place).
155 2005-05-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
157 * Stdlib.cs: Correct Mono_Posix_Stdlib_InvokeSignalHandler export.
159 2005-05-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
161 * make-map.cs: Process the Mono.Posix namespace as well as Mono.Unix; add
162 mapping for Boolean => int for native type conversion.
164 2005-05-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
166 * make-map.cs: Add a MphPrototypeFileGenerator, which looks for DllImport
167 methods across all types and generates a C header file declaration for
168 those methods. This allows us to ensure consistency between
169 Mono.Posix.dll and MonoPosixHelper.so. Rename WrapperFileGenerator to
170 ConvertFileGenerator (it generates UnixConvert).
171 * MapAttribute.cs, IncludeAttribute.cs: Make these internal -- there's no
172 reason for external users to even know these exist.
173 * StdioFileStream.cs: Move GC.SuppressFinalize call to be last Dispose()
174 call. This follows current design guidelines, and allows an exception to
175 be thrown from Dispose() without un-registering the finalizer.
176 * Syscall.cs: Change method declarations to match MonoPosixHelper, etc.
177 - posix_fallocate(P) takes a size_t
178 - mis-spelled settimeofday(2), sethostname(2)
179 - exec(2) can be public; it's safe to call
180 - change lseek(2) so int's are passed to MonoPosixHelper.so, not shorts
181 - We can't allow two incompatible prototypes to exist (since C allows
182 only one prototype, and we're cross-checking prototypes now). Change
183 utime(2) so only one prototype is needed.
184 * UnixMarshal.cs: ErrorMarshal.ErrorTranslator and ErrorMarshal.Translate
185 shouldn't be public; make them internal.
186 * UnixStream.cs: Remove `unsafe` code block when a "safe" alternative works;
187 Close() should also call GC.SuppressFinalize.
189 2005-05-12 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
191 * Syscall.cs: The Statvfs structure should contain a MountFlags enumeration,
192 not a ulong (we can "safely" do this since POSIX defines some values for
193 f_flag, so we should be kind and expose them).
194 * UnixConvert.cs: Add MountFlags conversion functions.
196 2005-05-02 Joe Shaw <joeshaw@novell.com>
198 * UnixListener.cs (Init): Remove the call to Cleanup() and the
199 method itself, which was not supposed to be here. We try to
200 connect to the socket if it exists instead of deleting it
203 2005-04-30 Ben Maurer <bmaurer@ximian.com>
205 * Stdlib.cs: Comment out usage of `UnmanagedFunctionPointer'. It
206 isn't supported in the runtime -- it throws an assert -- so better
207 not to use it at all for now.
209 2005-04-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
211 * UnixConvert.cs: Fix time_t -> DateTime conversions. time_t should be
212 assumed to be in the local time zone, so don't mess with UTC shifts.
213 This allows Mono.Unix to produce sane output (e.g. identical to ls(1) or
214 stat(1), instead of several hours different).
216 2005-04-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
218 * Stdlib.cs: Make FilePosition slightly more useful by providing a
219 ToString() override which dumps the fpos_t structure contents into a
220 hex string. Add Equals(), GetHashCode(), operator==, and operator!=
221 so FilePosition behaves like a value type.
223 2005-04-21 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
226 * UnixListener.cs: TcpListener/TcpClient clones from Jow Shaw.
228 2005-04-21 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
230 * Mono.Posix.dll.sources: added UnixListener and UnixClient from Joe
233 2005-04-21 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
235 * UnixEndPoint.cs: fix from Mono.Posix.
237 2005-04-20 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
239 * Syscall.cs: Make all fork(2) and exec(2) functions `private`. It
240 currently isn't safe to call these under *any* circumstances. See also
241 68141, and this pertinent quote from Butenhof's
242 "Programming with POSIX Threads", p197, s6.1:
244 "When a threaded process calls fork to create a child process,
245 Pthreads specifies that only the thread calling fork exists in the
246 child. ... Pthreads does not 'terminate' the other threads in a forked
247 process...They simply cease to exist. ... This is not a problem if
248 the child process is about to call exec to run a new program, but if
249 you use fork to clone a threaded program, beware that you may lose
250 access to memory, especially heap memory stored only as
251 thread-specific data values."
253 Since P/Invoke currently requires using thread local storage, once you
254 fork(2) you won't be able to invoke exec(2) from managed code (since that
255 would require a P/Invoke transition to call exec(2), which would require
256 TLS, which doesn't exist in the new process).
258 This can only be fixed by removing the TLS dependency on P/Invoke, which
259 isn't a priority (and may not be possible).
261 The workaround is to create a C function which does your fork(2)/exec(2)
262 (and any other functions such as daemon(3)) on your behalf, and P/Invoke
263 to call this C function.
265 2005-04-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
267 * Syscall.cs: Update comment specifying which functions belong in Syscall.
268 * UnixConvert.cs: Add XattrFlags conversion functions.
269 * UnixMarshal.cs: Remove warning about self-assignment.
271 2005-04-16 Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org>
273 * Syscall.cs: Add bindings for extended attribute manipulation
275 2005-04-05 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@novell.com>
277 * Syscall.cs: Set entry point for sys_syslog to be syslog.
278 Include the syslog.h header in the generated map so that we
279 actually do the mapping.
281 2005-03-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
283 * UnixConvert.cs: Add ToFopenMode() methods, which convert FileMode/FileAccess
284 into an fopen(3) mode string. ToOpenFlags() should throw
285 ArgumentOutOfRangeException for argument violations.
286 * StdioFileStream.cs: Add constructor overloads accepting filename and
287 FileMode/FileAccess overloads; Compatibility fixes with regression tests;
288 remove IDisposable implementation since System.IO.Stream already
289 implements it (which calls Close() for us).
291 2005-03-17 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
293 * Stdlib.cs: Move Errno-related functionality into Stdlib from Syscall,
294 since (1) errno is part of C89, and (2) StdioFileStream will need it, and
295 StdioFileStream shouldn't use Syscall. Add [UnmanagedFunctionPointer]
296 attribute to SignalHandler for .NET 2.0 (since signal handlers use C
297 calling convention, not Stdcall).
298 * Syscall.cs: Move Errno-related functionality into Stdlib.
299 * UnixMarshal.cs: Use ERANGE not EPERM when figuring out appropriate
300 translator, since ERANGE is part of C99 and EPERM isn't. Use Stdlib
301 instead of Syscall for Errno-related functionality.
303 2005-02-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
305 * UnixFile.cs: Cope with changes in UnixStream.
306 * UnixStream.cs: Change FileDescriptor property to Handle for consistency.
307 * StdioFileStream.cs: Change FileStream property to Handle for consistency.
309 2005-02-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
311 * Syscall.cs: Remove public sys_ methods. Some were public by mistake, and
312 others so that users could manually marshal strings if desired. Manually
313 marshaling strings shouldn't be necessary, though, so remove them too.
315 2005-02-02 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
317 * StdioFileStream.cs: Fix Length property to actually return the size of the
318 file, not the # of bytes from the current position to EOF. Oops.
320 2005-01-31 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
322 * Stdlib.cs: Import "msvcrt", not "libc". These members are part of the
323 ANSI C standard, and thus should be present on Windows via msvcrt.dll
324 (except snprintf, until they catch up to C99). Change the calling
325 convention of all functions to Cdecl, as the .NET default is Stdcall.
326 Changing the calling convention isn't needed in Syscall, as it can only be
327 run on Unix platforms anyway, where the default is Cdecl.
328 * Syscall.cs: Add LIBC member that points to the real "libc"; we can't use
329 the imported definition from Stdlib as "msvcrt" doesn't exist on Unix.
331 2005-01-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
333 * Stdlib.cs: sys_* functions shouldn't be public.
335 2005-01-13 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
337 * make-map.cs: libMonoPosixHelper exports Mono_Posix prefixes, not Mono_Unix
338 prefixes, so change the type and namespace to generate compatible code.
339 * Syscall.cs: Change OpenFlags values so they match the Linux values.
341 2005-01-13 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
343 * Stdlib.cs: Use Stdlib.LIBC instead of "libc".
344 * StdioFileStream.cs: Add FilePosition property (not that I expect anyone to
345 use it) and Rewind() method.
347 2005-01-05 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
349 * StdioFileStream.cs: Added; System.IO.Stream wrapper for C FILE struct.
350 * Stdlib.cs: Correct visibility of ftell().
352 2005-01-05 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
354 * Stdlib.cs: Re-order declarations to match the order used in the
355 C99 Standard Annex B; Complete <stdio.h> exports (except for those not
356 worth supporting); Add non-"unsafe" versions of fread(3), fwrite(3) and
357 add some rudimentary buffer-overflow checking; Add <stdlib.h> exports such
358 as getenv(3), exit(3), rand(3), EXIT_SUCCESS, RAND_MAX, etc.
360 2005-01-03 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
362 * Syscall.cs: Update endfsent() and setfsent() declarations, as these must
363 now be implemented in MonoPosixHelper.
365 2005-01-01 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
367 * Stdlib.cs, Syscall.cs: Minimize duplicate declarations of
368 "MonoPosixHelper" for use in DllImport statements.
370 2005-01-01 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
372 * Stdlib.cs: Don't use C# v2 features; fixes build under CSC.EXE.
374 2004-12-30 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
376 * Stdlib.cs: On miguel's suggestion, rename Sighandler_t to SignalHandler.
378 2004-12-30 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
380 * Stdlib.cs: Implement all C89 <stdio.h> functions except for the scanf(3)
381 family. These are too dangerous to expose.
383 2004-12-30 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
385 * CdeclFunctions.cs: Remove warning about unused variable.
386 * Stdlib.cs: Make signal(2) sane and (hopefully) complete.
387 * Syscall.cs: Fix cuserid Obsolete message to reference correct class name.
388 * UnixProcess.cs: Remove warning about unused variable.
389 * UnixMarshal.cs: Remove warnings about unused variables.
391 2004-12-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
393 * UnixPath.cs: Add ReadSymbolicLink(), which takes an intelligent approach
394 to reading symlinks (since their contents may be any size, we grow the
395 buffer dynamically to fit them all, instead of assuming a maximum size).
396 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Remove MaxContentsSize.
398 2004-12-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
400 * UnixPath.cs: Add check for when symlink points to a full path name.
402 2004-12-29 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
404 * Syscall.cs: Fix Object.Equals implementations.
405 * UnixPath.cs: New & improved, with Testing! GetRealPath() is changed so
406 that it doesn't walk the entire path looking for symlinks, it just reads
407 the leaf. GetCompletRealPath() walks the entire path resolving symlinks.
408 GetCanonicalPath() added, which "cleans up" a path (removing extraneous
409 "." and ".." entries).
410 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Rename ContentsLength -> MaxContentsSize.
412 2004-12-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
414 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Add a link(2) wrapper, CreateLink(). Strictly
415 speaking it's only "safe" to do this on files, but an exception will be
416 returned if the user tries to hard link directories (because of EPERM),
417 unless the user is root, in which case it should be allowed anyway...
419 2004-12-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
421 * CdeclFunctions.cs: Correct the comments for AMD64
422 * UnixDirectoryInfo.cs: override Name; add Parent & Root properties;
423 Correct Path usage (s/Path/FullPath/g).
424 * UnixDriveInfo.cs: Added. Based on .NET 2.0 System.IO.DriveInfo docs,
425 provides statvfs(2) and getfsfile(3) information about a mounted volume.
426 GetDrives() wraps getfsent(3), thus parsing /etc/fstab.
427 * UnixFile.cs: Use UnixConver.ToOpenFlags, deleting the local version.
428 * UnixFileInfo.cs: Use UnixConver.ToOpenFlags, deleting the local version;
429 override Name; add DirectoryName and Directory properties;
430 * UnixFileSystemInfo.cs: Make more .NET-like, using FullPath and
431 OriginalPath protected members, abstract Name property; Add
432 CreateSymbolicLink; Remove ReadLink (it's now
433 UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.Contents); Use lstat(2) for Create(string), so we
434 properly detect Symbolic Links.
435 * UnixPath.cs: Added; Path manipulation utility functions.
436 * UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs:
438 - override new abstract member Name;
439 - rename ReadLink to ContentsPath (and Contents) properties
440 (why "Contents"? Because readlink(2) says "readlink places the
441 contents of the symbolic link in the buffer...")
442 - Add CreateSymbolicLinkTo(), which creates a symlink to the specified
445 2004-12-28 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
447 * Stdlib.cs: Add syslog(3) to XPrintfFunctions; Add additional printf(3)
448 and fprintf(3) overload which properly escape the format string
449 (by using "%s" as the format for the user-supplied message).
450 * Syscall.cs: Add #regions for enummerations, structures, classes; Wrap
451 syslog(3) and related enumerations; fix operator!= on Dirent, Group;
452 wrap {f}statvfs(2); wrap <fstab.h> entries (getfsent(3), etc.).
453 * UnixConvert.cs: Add Syslog-releated enumeration translation functions;
454 Move ToOpenFlags here from UnixFile and UnixFileInfo.
455 * UnixMarshal.cs: Missing P/Invoke methods throw
456 EntryPointNotFoundException, not MissingMethodException; add
457 EscapeFormatString, which escapes printf-style format strings so that they
458 can be safely handed off to native code (avoiding stack overflow, etc);
459 make CreateExceptionForError internal.
461 2004-12-15 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
463 * Stdlib.cs: Add more <stdio.h> wrappers, such as fread(3) and fwrite(3).
464 These will be useful in implementing System.IO.Stream subclass for
465 reading/writing to a FILE*. Fix a typo in the realloc(3) DllImport.
466 * Syscall.cs: Fix the sys_kill and sys_crypt declarations.
467 * CdeclFunction.cs: Document calling convention problems on AMD64.
469 2004-11-18 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
471 * CdeclFunction.cs: Added.
472 * Stdlib.cs: Re-add printf(3) and fprintf(3). They may not be portable (the
473 jury is still out on that; the AMD64 SysV ABI looks like it should be
474 portable to AMD64 to my eyes), but they will work on *some* platforms, so
475 we should permit it. The new implementation takes a page out of
476 cocoa-sharp: use System.Reflection.Emit to generate a P/Invoke method at
477 runtime to invoke printf(3) or fprintf(3). This way, we can export a
478 params signature to C# code, permitting natural usage such as:
479 Stdlib.printf ("Hello, %s world! (%i)\n", "silly", 42);
480 * Syscall.cs: Mark which headers are complete, which functions still need
481 wrapping (for headers which have anything done to them), add #region
482 blocks for each header;
483 export mkfifo(3), fexecve(), getppid(2), setlogin(); fix sleep(3) export.
484 * UnixEnvironment.cs: Export a friendly getppid(2) wrapper.
485 GetParentProcessId isn't in UnixProcess as there's no way (that I know of)
486 to get the Parent's Parent, so it can't be a class member, and exposing it
487 as a static member of UnixProcess doesn't make sense to me, as it isn't
488 general. Added GetUserShells().
489 * UnixProcess.cs: Change constructor to internal, so it can be used from
492 2004-11-16 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
494 * Stdlib.cs: Remove printf(3) and fprintf(3). These are vararg/CDECL
495 functions, and it's not portable to call them in this manner.
496 (It's not portable because some architectures, such as AMD64, use a
497 "cookie" as part of the vararg calling sequence to help reduce buffer
498 overflow exploits. Trying to call vararg functions as if they were an
499 overloaded function will not properly set this hardware cookie, resulting
500 in a hardware exception. Talk to lupus for more information.)
502 2004-11-16 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
504 * Syscall.cs, UnixConvert.cs: Remove mount- and umount-related
505 functionality. Mount/umount is inherently non-portable (see the C code
506 for mount/umount), and trying to provide a consistent interface is
507 impossible. If you need mount/umount support, use the command-line
508 programs mount(1) and umount(1).
510 2004-11-16 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
512 + Lots o' Renames, as the namespace changed.
513 * PosixConvert.cs: Moved to UnixConvert.cs:
514 * PosixDirectory.cs: Moved to UnixDirectory.cs:
515 * PosixEnvironment.cs: Moved to UnixEnvironment.cs:
516 * PosixDirectoryInfo.cs: Moved to UnixDirectoryInfo.cs:
517 * PosixFile.cs: Moved to UnixFile.cs:
518 * PosixFileInfo.cs: Moved to UnixFileInfo.cs:
519 * PosixFileSystemInfo.cs: Moved to UnixFileSystemInfo.cs:
520 * PosixGroup.cs: Moved to UnixGroup.cs:
521 * PosixGroupInfo.cs: Moved to UnixGroupInfo.cs:
522 * PosixIOException.cs: Moved to UnixIOException.cs:
523 * PosixMarshal.cs: Moved to UnixMarshal.cs:
524 * PosixProcess.cs: Moved to UnixProcess.cs:
525 * PosixStream.cs: Moved to UnixStream.cs:
526 * PosixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: Moved to UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs:
527 * PosixUser.cs: Moved to UnixUser.cs:
528 * PosixUserInfo.cs: Moved to UnixUserInfo.cs:
529 * Catalog.cs, IncludeAttribute.cs, MapAttribute.cs, PeerCred.cs, Stdlib.cs,
530 Syscall.cs, UnixConvert.cs, UnixDirectory.cs, UnixDirectoryInfo.cs,
531 UnixEndPoint.cs, UnixEnvironment.cs, UnixFile.cs, UnixFileInfo.cs,
532 UnixFileSystemInfo.cs, UnixGroup.cs, UnixGroupInfo.cs, UnixIOException.cs,
533 UnixMarshal.cs, UnixProcess.cs, UnixStream.cs, UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs,
534 UnixUser.cs, UnixUserInfo.cs: Deal with renamed classes/members.
536 2004-11-15 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
538 * PosixUserInfo.cs: Make the PosixUserInfo(Passwd) constructor public;
539 override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
540 * PosixGroupInfo.cs: Make the PosixGroupInfo(Group) constructor public;
541 override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
542 * PosixIOException.cs: Use PosixMarshal.GetErrorDescription instead of
543 calling Syscall.strerror_r directly
544 * PosixMarshal.cs: Add GetErrorDescription. Strerror_r() isn't portable, so
545 GetErrorDescription() first tries strerror_r(), and if it fails falls back
548 - Seal the Dirent class. It has no virtual members, so there's no point
549 in it being non-sealed. Override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
550 - Seal the Group class. It has no virtual members, so there's no point
551 in it being non-sealed. Override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
552 Provide operator== and operator!=.
553 - Seal the Passwd class. It has no virtual members, so there's no point
554 in it being non-sealed. Override Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals.
555 Provide operator== and operator!=.
556 - Remove strerror_r() convenience overload. This is now
557 PosixMarshal.GetErrorDescription().
559 2004-11-12 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
561 * Syscall.cs: Export time-related functions (gettimeofday, settimeofday,
562 utime, utimes), mknod.
564 2004-11-07 Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>
566 * PosixEnvironment.cs : csc build fix. see bug #69195.
567 * PosixStream.cs : csc build fix. see bug #69196.
569 2004-11-05 Jonathan Pryor <jonpryor@vt.edu>
571 * PosixConvert.cs: New file; conversion functions for Mono.Posix types.
572 * PosixDirectory.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over directory information.
573 * PosixDirectoryInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over directory information.
574 * PosixEnvironment.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over environment information.
575 * PosixFile.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over file information.
576 * PosixFileInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over file information.
577 * PosixFileSystemInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over `stat'.
578 * PosixGroup.cs: New file; User Group-related functionality
579 * PosixGroupInfo.cs: New file; User Group-related functionality
580 * PosixIOException.cs: New file; Exception for POSIX-generated exceptions.
581 * PosixMarshal.cs: New file; utility functions for marshaling, etc.
582 * PosixProcess.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over process information.
583 * PosixStream.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over file descriptors.
584 * PosixSymbolicLinkInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over symbolic links.
585 * PosixUser.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over user information.
586 * PosixUserInfo.cs: New file; Friendly wrapper over user information.
587 * Stdlib.cs: New file; C standard library exports.
588 * Syscall.cs: Effective re-write.
589 - Organize exports by header file
590 - add additional enumerations (Error for the E* error values, etc.)
591 - always explicitly specify enumeration underlying type
592 - Use a new wrapping infrastructure so that ABI-stable types are exported
593 - For example, size_t is exported as ulong, not IntPtr.
594 - Wrap more functions, and wrap them better (such as getpwnam).
595 - This release is NOT backward compatible. Many names are the same, and
596 hopefully they're still compatible, but no effort was made to maintain
597 compatibility. For example, FileMode was removed and replaced with
598 FilePermissions, to avoid a name conflict with System.IO.FileMode.
599 - Change umount() to use MonoPosixHelper: portability fix for Mac OS X.
600 * make-map.cs: Another effective re-write, to clean up the code, produce
601 better output, and produce more output. For example, most of
602 PosixConvert can be auto-generated, so it is (modulo version delays and
603 bootstrap issues). `map.c' is now conditional on all macros, and has
604 error checking for invalid/unsupported values.
606 2004-09-18 Jackson Harper <jackson@ximian.com>
608 * Syscall.cs: Add support for poll ().
610 2004-09-18 Jackson Harper <jackson@ximian.com>
612 * make-map.cs: Use field value not name for #defines.
614 2004-09-14 Loren Bandiera <lorenb@mmgsecurity.com>
616 * Syscall.cs: Added method for getpwnam which uses Passwd
618 * macros.c: Helper function for getpwnam
619 (In committing, Josh Tauberer also added getpwuid.)
621 2004-07-09 Dick Porter <dick@ximian.com>
623 * PeerCred.cs: Get the unix socket peer credentials.
625 2004-05-26 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>
627 * Syscall.cs: Do not let the runtime handle strings, as we do not
628 own those strings, we must transform the char * into a string
631 2004-05-03 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>
633 * Syscall.cs: Add symlink
635 2004-04-19 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>
637 * Syscall.cs: Use hex values for FileMode, since C# does not have
638 an octal integer mode.
640 2004-03-30 Joshua Tauberer <tauberer@for.net>
642 * Added readlink, strerror, opendir, readdir, closedir
643 * Added Mono.Posix.Stat.UnixToDateTime(long unixtime) --> DateTime
645 2004-03-11 Joshua Tauberer <tauberer@for.net>
647 * Syscall.cs: Removed argument to getgid that shouldn't be there.
648 Added getusername, getgroupname which wrap getpwuid, getgrgid
649 without dealing with pointers to structures.
650 Removed duplicate FileMode enum nested in Syscall class.
651 Added stat and lstat, which use StatMode enumeration
652 (like FileMode but nicer and complete) and Stat struct.
653 * macros.c: Helper functions for getpwuid, getgrgid, stat, lstat.
655 2004-01-07 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
657 * Syscall.cs: moved the assembly attribute to a proper place
659 * make-map.cs: use reflection to invoke the properties, as it
660 fails under MS runtime.
663 2004-01-05 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
665 * Syscall.cs: moved assembly attribute and added unsafe block to fix
666 the build on windows.
668 2003-11-11 Wojciech Polak <polak@gnu.org
670 * Syscall.cs: Applied patch from Wojciech Polak <polak@gnu.org> to
673 2003-05-16 Dick Porter <dick@ximian.com>
675 * UnixEndPoint.cs: New property to get and set the filename, like
676 the IPEndPoint has for the IP address. Also implement ToString().
678 Tue Apr 29 16:53:56 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>
680 * Syscall.cs: remove the unsafe mess.
682 2003-02-05 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>
685 * UnixEndPoint.cs: first file.
