        (CompletionSimpleName): Expose the prefix that was
        passed to the simple name.

        * cs-parser.jay (object_or_collection_initializer): Add support
        for element_initializers.

        * expression.cs (CollectionOrObjectInitializers.DoResolve):
        special case completion expressions as this method aggressively
        collects data before it operates, and errors were being thrown
        earlier than we were able to complete.

2009-04-23  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * eval.cs: Make getcompletions silent and enable debugging output
        if the -v option is passed.

        * namespace.cs (NamespaceEntry.CompletionGetTypesStartingWith):
        Consider looking up the namespace that matches the prefix being
        used. 

        This is part of the support for allowing completions like:
        `System.Co<TAB>' to complete to System.Console.

        * complete.cs (CompletionSimpleName.AppendResults): Make this
        routine reusable.

2009-04-21  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@hurrynot.org>

        * cs-parser.jay (GetTokenName): Mark GENERATE_COMPLETION and
        COMPLETE_COMPLETION as internal.

2009-04-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * complete.cs: Include namespace resolution in simple names as
        well as global types and types in the using scope in the
        resolution. 

        * namespace.cs: Supporting infrastrcture to provide completions
        based on the current using scope. 

        * eval.cs: Introduce an entry point that allows for initialization
        to return a list of the files passed on the command line.

2009-03-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        Initial support to provide code completion facilities to consumers
        of the evaluator API.
        
        * cs-tokenizer.cs (CompleteOnEOF): this new property is used to
        support the completion engine.   When we reach the end of the
        input stream instead of returning EOF, when this flag is true the
        tokenizer instead produces:

                One GENERATE_COMPLETION token: this token then must be
                handled in the grammar at every point where the user
                would likely request a completion.

                As many COMPLETE_COMPLETION tokens as necessary.   These
                tokens are generated to assist the parser in unwinding and
                producing a valid parse tree.    

        The parser rules do not have to be perfect, the parser needs to be
        augmented with judicious use of GENERATE_COMPLETION tokens to
        improve the areas where we can provide completion and the parser
        needs to add support for COMPLETE_COMPLETION tokens in productions
        to make them work.

        It is common to not have enough support for COMPLETE_COMPLETION
        under certain rules and that even if we generated the
        GENERATE_COMPLETION token that the resulting tree will be invalid
        due to the missing rules that support COMPLETE_COMPLETION.

        The final EOF token is produced by having the parser notify the
        tokenizer when it reaches the root production that the next token
        should be EOF.

        * support.cs (CompletionResult): New Exception.   This exception
        is thrown to return the completion results when one of the special
        completion expressions is reached.

        This exception is thrown by the completing ExpressionStatements
        classes that live in complete.cs

        * complete.cs (CompletingExpression): a new base class for
        completing expressions.   This derives from the
        ExpressionStatement class and not from Expression as it allows
        completion to happen not only where expressions are expected in
        the grammar, but also where statements are expected.

        (CompletionSimpleName): A new class used to provide completions
        for SimpleNames.     This currently only resolves to local
        variables from the evaluator context (GetVars call).

        (CompletionMemberAccess): Implements support for completing member
        access patterns. 

        * cs-parser.jay: Add support for completion in a few places. 

        * eval.cs (GetCompletions): New public API for the evaluator that
        returns a list of possible completions given the input.   The
        return value is an array of completions 

        * anonymous.cs (Compatible): If the exception thrown from the
        resolved expression is a CompletionResult exception let that one
        through instead of printing a diagnostic error in the try/catch.

        * 

        * driver.cs (Main): Use Environment.Exit to quit quickly and
        prevent the compiler from doing the usual wait for helper thread
        to terminate.  

        This is to prevent a slowdown that was reported by Gonzalo on
        ASP.NET

2009-02-06  Scott Peterson  <lunchtimemama@gmail.com>

        Contributed under the MIT/X11 license.

        * generic.cs: Added VerifyVariantTypeParameters which performs new
        variance verification logic. The old logic, based on the spec, was
        wrong because the spec is full of LIES!

        * generic-mcs.cs: Stubbed out the VerifyVariantTypeParameters method.

        *typemanager.cs: Moved variance verification logic to GenericTypeExpr.

        * class.cs:
        * ecore.cs: Added calls to the new variance verification logic.

        * parameter.cs:
        * delegate.cs: Removed calls to the old variance verification logic.

2009-02-06  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

2009-02-04  Scott Peterson  <lunchtimemama@gmail.com>

        This patch adds initial generic variance support to the compiler.
        It is contributed under the MIT/X11 license.

        * typemanager.cs: Modified ImplementsInterface to check variance.
        Added VerifyVariantTypeParameters which checks the specified type to see
        if it uses a variant type parameter as a type argument (which is not
        allowed). Added IsVariantOf which determins if the first type is a
        variant of the second. NOTE: This only supports reference types at
        the moment to conform with the current level of VM support. When the
        VM supports value types, this will follow step.

        * generic.cs: Added the Variance enum. Added a Variance property to
        TypeParameter and added variance support to definition phase. Added a
        Variance property to TypeParameterName. Also check to make sure that
        no variant types appear in generic method parameters.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Modified parse_less_than to tokenize the variance
        keywords if the langversion supports it.

        * parameter.cs: Added Parameter.VerifyNoVariantTypeParameters to ensure
        that variant types are only used in legal positions. Also added
        ParametersCompiled.VerifyNoVariantTypeParameters to check all of its
        parameters.

        * decl.cs: Construct TypeParameter with the variance information.

        * convert.cs: Checks variance in ImplicitReferenceConversionExists
        and ImplicitConversionStandard.

        * rootcontext.cs: Added new "Future" language version.

        * class.cs: In TypeContainer.DoDefineMembers, ensure that contravariant
        type parameters are not used as type arguments in interface inheritance.
        In MemberBase.DoMemberDependentChecks, ensure that contravariant type
        parameters are not used as method return types. In MemberBase.
        ResolveMemberType, ensure that variant type parameters are not used
        as type arguments. Also call VerifyNoVariantTypeParameters on every
        set of parameters which are resolved.

        * delegate.cs: Modified Delegate.Define to ensure that variant
        parameters are not used as type arguments and that a contravariant
        parameter is not used as the return type. Also call
        VerifyNoVariantTypeParameters on the delegate parameters.

        * cs-parser.jay: Modified grammar to support "in" and "out" keywords
        to specify generic variance.

        * driver.cs: Added support for LanguageVersion.Future in the form of
        "-langversion:future".

        * generic-mcs.cs: Stubbed out new members in generic.cs.

2009-02-03  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * eval.cs: rename "<interactive>" to "{interactive}", to work
        around a requirement in the compiler that this be a valid
        filename, and in Windows it is not (433886).

2008-09-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * eval.cs (InteractiveBase): The quit command now just sets a
        flag, instead of calling Environment.Exit(), it is milder on
        embedded hosts. 

        CompiledMethod is now in Mono.CSharp, not nested inside
        the Evaluator, it was inconvenient to use.

2008-09-27  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * eval.cs (Evaluator): Introduce Compile method, to allow compiled
        code to be invoked without having to reparse.

        explicit blocks only.

2008-09-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * eval.cs (LoadAssembly, ReferenceAssembly): Call
        RootNamespace.ComputeNamespaces to update the internal list of
        namespaces, this is no longer done for us.

        (InteractiveBase): Use the Evaluator APIs instead of calling into
        Driver directly

2008-09-25  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        A fix for bug #429264
        * expression.cs: Missing mutator for access to multidimensional

        fully constructed FieldExpr, fixes the regression introduced in
        the last commit.
        
        * ecore.cs, expression.cs: Plug back the eclass initialization as
        otherwise it regresses `csharp'. 

2008-09-24  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * typemanager.cs, decl.cs, convert.cs, assign.cs, expression.cs,
        ecore.cs, attribute.cs: Moved obsolete method checks from emit
        phase to resolve phase. It resolves problems with expression trees
        and fixes bugs #323796, #325156.

2008-09-10  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

2008-09-09  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Improve error reporting for syntax errors in
        statements and expressions, we now report the expected tokens
        instead of reporting the useless "; expected".

        Drop the strings from the token declaration, it turns out that
        they did not do what I thought they did.  Instead they were adding
        two sets of tokens to the tables.

2008-09-09  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * typemanager.cs, generic.cs, parameter.cs, expression.cs, class.cs,

        lookup rule to determine ?-based tokens.

2008-09-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * repl.cs (OptionalAssign.EmitStatement): It is possible that some
        expressions (like event adding or removing) end up here, so we
        need to treat those as statements.

        Add LoadAssembly method.

2008-09-04  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * repl.cs: Add Time method.

        checks before we attempt to initialize `New' initializers. 

2008-09-04  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        A fix for bug #422853
        * delegate.cs (DelegateCreation): Add special handling for

        public. 

        * repl.cs: Update help.

2008-09-03  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * driver.cs (ProcessDefaultConfig): Now it encapsulates all the
        handling of the default config handling, including the special
        treatment of System.Core assembly. 

        Fixes the REPL processing for LINQ.

2008-09-03  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        version from non-generic implementation instead.

2008-09-01  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        A fix for bug #418908

        * parameter.cs, attribute.cs: Clone also parameter attributes.

2008-08-30  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * namespace.cs (LookupType): In EvalMode, try to replace
        the TypeBuilder from our cache with a Type as Reflection.Emit does
        not  like to mix code from older assemblies emitted and new
        assemblies emitted. 

        This sounds like a serious Mono bug that prevents multiple
        assemblies to be generated and consumed at the same time.

        * cs-parser.jay (push_current_class): Do not make interactive
        classes internal or private, make them public as we currently
        generate each new class in a new assembly.   

2008-08-29  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * decl.cs, roottypes.cs, class.cs:: Add an infrastructure to
        remove types that are entered into the global namespace during
        parsing so that we can remove them on failure.
 
        * cs-parser.jay: Parsing: we now keep track of types that are
        entered into global variables and queue those in case the parsing
        or resolution fail.
 
        This happens in a few situations: during partial-input, we invoke
        the parser repeatedly for example with the string "class X", this
        would cause X to be registed, and we need to remove this
        registration so that another parse attempt later with say "class X {"
        would actually work.
 
        Additionally, if there is an error in the resolution phase, for
        example: "class X : NonExistant {}" th
        
        * cs-parser.jay: Be more precise with the errors being raised,
        instead of flagging all exceptions during parsing to be attributed
        to the parsing process, distinguish those from errors happening in
        the actions and hint that using -v would produce the actual
        exception. 

        * repl.cs: Do not load all compiler references on each reset,
        doing the partial reset takes care of this.
        
2008-08-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * repl.cs: Add support for loading all the files from
        ~/.config/csharp/*cs as startup scripts and ~/.config/csharp/*.dll
        as shell libraries.

        Introduce a micro-parser that is able to deambiguate on its input
        whether we are dealing with a compilation unit (namespace, class,
        interface, struct, delegate) declaration or a statement.   This
        allows both declarations and statements to be entered. 

        Set history size by default to 300 lines.

        Instead of distinguishing based on the parser.InteractiveResult,
        have only two cases: statements were parsed, or a compilation unit
        was.   Always pull the Using statement additions from the
        compilation unit parse.
        
        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Rename tokens to better describe their intent
        (EvalStatementParserCharacter and EvalCompilationUnitParserCharacter).
        
        * rootcontext.cs: Split EvalMode into EvalMode and StatementMode.
        EvalMode is used to trigger the lookup of global variables while
        StatementMode is used turn variable declarations into static
        fields.

        * getline.cs: Allow history size to be set.

2008-08-29  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * generic.cs, iterators.cs, codegen.cs: Removed unused variable.
        
        * typemanager.cs, statement.cs, ecore.cs, enum.cs: Don't reconstruct enum
        member name, it is too confusing
        
        * decl.cs, class.cs: Don't report unused fields with attached attribute.
        
        * rootcontext.cs: Finally default to warning level 4.

2008-08-28  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

2008-08-28  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>
        
        * attribute (IsClsCompliant): Use FALSE value for pointer types.

2008-08-27  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * repl.cs: Add support for aborting the running code with C-c. 

2008-08-27  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@hurrynot.org>

        * cs-parser.jay (CS1002): Dump 'yyToken' with Report.ExtraInformation.

2008-08-27  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * cs-parser.jay (interactive_statement_list): A new set of rules
        for hosting statements that uses the "interactive_" prefix.   

        * repl.cs: Add support for parsing `using' as a statement or as a
        directive.  Deambiguating before passing this to the parser.

        We need to distinguish statement_expressions that occur at the
        toplevel vs those that occur embedded into expressions.

        * getline.cs: Applied patch from Stuart Carnie <stuart.carnie@gmail.com> 
        that fixes the cursor key handling, and a history bug.
        
2008-08-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * Makefile: Drop BOOTSTRAP_COMPILER as that was masking the
        limitations in Console, instead the 2.0 bootstrap libraries now
        include the Console bits.

        Also, remove the use of Nullables from getline.cs

        ------------
        
        Interactive support for the C# compiler.   Use gmcs --shell to
        enter a read-eval-print loop shell.

        Docs: http://www.mono-project.com/CsharpRepl
        
        * sources: include repl.cs here and getline.cs for gmcs.exe,
        everything else is getline.cs impaired.

        * Makefile: when bootstrapping pass a special flag
        BOOTSTRAP_COMPILER which we use to prevent failures in compilation
        as we use NET_2_0 define to pull 2.0 APIs from System.Console.
        This distinguishes those two cases.

        * repl.cs: Support for a read-eval-print loop.   Will be soon
        refactored into eval support and then REPL on top of it.

        * ecore.cs: If a simplename lookup fails, before erroring out,
        if we are in EvalMode to resolve the name to a declaration in the
        Eval-land.    

        This means that variable declarations that happened in previous
        classes (as repl puts every statement in a separate class) are
        made visible in this way.

        * cs-parser.jay: UnexpectedEOF, a new flag that is set if we
        triggered an error due to the end of file being reached.   This is
        used to do multi-line input, and notify the caller that the user
        needs to provide more text before a successful parse.

        Add new grammar rules after the INTERACTIVE_PARSER token is seen
        to drive the evaluation with a custom wrapper. 

        * driver.cs: Add support for --shell, and refactor some code to be
        reused from repl.cs
        
        * namespace.cs: Add support for serializing the contents of the
        namespaces and reloading them.  

        * getline.cs: A managed implementation of ReadLine under
        X11/Apache2 license terms.  Easy to embed in other applications as
        well.

        * namespace.cs: Add some functions to save and restore the
        namespace state.

        * rootcontext.cs: New public field.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Add support for one of the possible characters
        we introduce into the token stream.  

        This patch does not affect the regular tokenization process, the
        only performance hit would happen if there is an invalid character
        on the input string.

        * support.cs: Move isatty helper routine here.

        * codegen.cs: Small cleanup, and add a mechanism to initialize the
        code generator for in-memory assemblies.

2008-08-26  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * generic.cs, ecore.cs, delegate.cs, cs-parser.jay, expression.cs: A type
        parameter cannot be always used as a type.

2008-08-21  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * convert.cs, expression.cs: Use single ExplicitReferenceConversion routine.

2008-08-20  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        pending.cs, ecore.cs, linq.cs, class.cs, decl.cs, delegate.cs,
        flowanalysis.cs, iterators.cs, cs-parser.jay, convert.cs, anonymous.cs,
        expression.cs, attribute.cs, statement.cs, doc.cs: Refactored parameters
        handling to use just one type of infrastructure and deal with generics
        more effectivelly.

        ** Anonymous methods, lambda expressions rewrite **
        
        Anonymous expressions are now resolved when an explicit block is resolved 
        and they don't require any registration procedure anymore. Further,
        anonymous methods are defined when explicit block is emitted which allows
        better control of whole process and opens possibilities for more
        optimizations as well as alternative to reverse whole process.
        
        A concept of `MutateHoistedGenericType' was introduced to keep the resolve
        process consistent and to correctly emit hoisted generic methods when they
        have at least 1 hoisted variable.

        Fix mono/tests/exception4.cs
        * statement.cs (ExceptionStatement, TryCatch): Revert to using
        ec.NeedReturnLabel () rather emitting a 'nop'.

        * statement.cs (ExceptionStatement.SomeCodeFollows): A hook for a
        simple heuristic.
        (TryCatch.SomeCodeFollows): Likewise.
        * flowanalysis.cs (FlowBranchingException): Call 'SomeCodeFollows'
        for 'break', 'continue' and 'return' statements inside a try.
        We're fairly sure that the generated IL stream will have more
        instructions textually following the try.
        (FlowBranchingTryCatch): Likewise.

        * statement.cs (Throw.Resolve): Move CS0156 and CS0724 testing ...
        * flowanalysis.cs (FlowBranching.CheckRethrow): ... here and to its
        overrides.

        wrapper -- forward everything to CollectionForeach.
        (CollectionForeach.NonDisposableWrapper): New.
        (CollectionForeach.EmitFinallyBody): Use 'endfinally' instruction
        instead of a pop + branch to end.

2008-04-07  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * assign.cs, expression.cs, decl.cs, class.cs, ecore.cs, namespace.cs:

        * anonymous.cs, expression.cs, ecore.cs, typemanager.cs: Implemented
        ListInit and Field expressions.

2008-04-06  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@hurrynot.org>

        * iterators.cs (Iterator.EmitMoveNext): Remove try/fault wrapper.
        Since $PC is always -1 inside the body of MoveNext, the fault
        handler is a no-op.
        * flowanalysis.cs (FlowBranchingException.EmitFinally): Kill.
        * statement.cs (ExceptionStatement.emit_finally): Likewise.
        (ExceptionStatement.ResolveFinally): Drop 'branching' argument.

        'finally' inside the finally clause.

        * statement.cs (ExceptionStatement.DoEmit): Emit try/finally block
        inside an iterator.  Don't emit the body of the 'finally' inside
        the finally clause yet.

        Use the ResumableStatement infrastructure for MoveNext ()
        * iterators.cs (Iterator.EmitMoveNext_NoResumePoints): New.

        'old_resume_points'.  Move dispatcher upfront.
        (Iterator.MarkYield): Mark the 'resume_point' of a Yield.
        * statement.cs (ExceptionStatement.DoEmit): Emit a dispatcher if
        in an enumerator.  This encodes the main fix in this patch series
        -- we can only jump into the first instruction of a try from the
        outside, but we want to emit try/finally regions in iterators and
        resume in the middle of them.

2008-04-05  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@hurrynot.org>

        EmitFinallyBody.

        * iterator.cs (Iterator.EmitDispose): Update to changes.

        Clean up handling of 'using' statement
        * statement.cs (UsingTemporary): New.  Carved out of ...
        (Using): ... this.  Simplify drastically.  Handle exactly
        one variable.
        * cs-parser.jay (using_statement): Split.  Create UsingTemporary
        or Using as appropriate.  If there are multiple variable declared,
        create nested Using statements.

        * flowanalysis.cs (FlowBranching.AddResumePoint): New.
        (FlowBranchingToplevel.AddResumePoint): Hook into
        ToplevelBlock.AddResumePoint.
        (FlowBranchingTryCatch): Move CS01626 and CS01631 checks here.
        (FlowBranchingException): Hook into ExceptionBlock.AddResumePoint.

        A fix for bug #328136
        * expression.cs: Do not fold immediately LogicalAnd operators when the left
        side is a false constant, because we still need to evaluate the right-hand
        side.

        * statement.cs (If): Emit two types of boolean constants (simple constant,
        side-effect constant).

2008-02-15  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: if a conditional expression happens inside a
        (...) this also means that we do not need to de-ambiguate between
        an parenthesized expression and a cast.

        Fixes 346484.

        * constant.cs (SideEffectConstant): a constant value that happens
        to have a side effect.

        Fixes the build regressions introduced by the fix for #359789

2008-02-14  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * expression.cs (Conditional.Emit): when emitting the ternary
        operator, use local variables to generate code verifiable code.

        The verifier cannot infer that the type on stack before the
        stloc.0 is executed is of type ParentB. This happens because the
        stack merge algorithm uses only parent types when deciding which
        is the common type.  This is described in Part III 1.8.1.3 of ECMA
        335.

        This code compiled with mcs is not verifiable under MS. The MS
        verifier picks the first common interface of Foo and Bar, which is
        wrong, but doesn't use a full join type of the 2 interfaces.

        CSC uses a clever hack to compile such code in a verifiable
        way. It stores the intermediate values in a local variable with
        the expected type.

        Fixes: #358102

2008-02-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * expression.cs: Do not fold BitwiseAnd operators when the left
        side is a false constant, because we still need to evaluate the
        right-hand side.

        Fixes #359789

        * support.cs: Instead of throwing an InternalErrorException when
        the position of the stream is outside the boundary of our buffer,
        reset the state of the reader, and restart the reading from the
        beginning of the file.

2008-01-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * expression.cs (CreateExpressionTree): Add support for or and
        logical or, and indent following the coding conventions.

        * typemanager.cs (LinqExpression): renamed from
        ExpressionTreeManager, for a shorter name.

        Use TypeManager.CoreLookupType to lookup types from our core
        assemblies and turn those into "Type" variables.

        Consumers that previously used "Namespace" and "Type" from this
        class should instead use the TypeExpression which is a type that
        is fully resolved (without involving the regular C# resolution
        rules). 

        This typically looks like this:

        TypeExpression texpr = new TypeExpression (LinqExpression.expression_type, loc);
        new MemberAccess (texpr, name, type_arguments, loc)

        This avoids the problem in: #355178

        expressions (params -> array initializer) to emit params argument instead
        of specialized handling.
        It was required by expression tree implementation and it has other benefits
        as well, we now apply same optimization for params arguments as we do for
        array initializers.

        * statement.cs: Changed some Hashtables to use HybridDictionaries
        instead. It was observed that some HashTables only contained a few
        items in the vast majority of cases. Since HybridDictionary is
        more efficient on small sets (<10 elements), "known_variables"
        from class ExplicitBlock as well as "labels" and "constants " from
        class Block were changed to HybridDictionaries.

        few ArrayLists to allocate more memory than they would potentially
        need in the Block class and MemberCache class. Setting the

        Implemented optimization of redundant default element initializers.
        
2007-10-25  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        FeatureIsNotAvailable.

2007-10-24  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        ** C# 3.0 Partial methods
        
        * cs-tokenizer.cs, support.cs, class.cs, decl.cs: Implemented partial
        methods support. Because of member cache issue with generics only
        non-generics partial methods are fully supported.
        
2007-10-23  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>
        
        * class.cs, decl.cs: Rewrote member overloads check to cope with 
        generics and to use member cache for member checking. It also improves
        performance and fixes remaining overloads issues.
        
2007-10-20  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        A member cache creation logic changed to add members immediately and
        not rely on fallback. The member cache is now only prefered way
        how to access and find type declaration members. It saves 5 MB of memory
        during MWF compilation and makes code ready for more optimizations and
        clean-ups, it's also a pre-requirement for partial methods.
        
2007-10-18  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@gmail.com>

        * ecore.cs (Expression.Error_ValueCannotBeConverted): Add special

        (interface_declaration, class_declaration): Likewise.

        ** C# 3.0 Type Inference (major bits are working)
        
        * anonymous.cs (AnonymousMethodExpression): Removed refactored fields.
        (.ImplicitStandardConversionExists): Uses compatible.
        (.ExplicitTypeInference): Infers type arguments based on explicit arguments
        (.InferReturnType): New method.
        (.Compatible): Refactored.
        (.ResolveParameters): Uses factory to create resolved parameters.
        (.CompatibleMethod): Add probing mode support.
        (AnonymousContainer): Removed unused fields. Split Define and Resolve to
        clearly distinguish between 2 different operations.
        (LambdaMethod): Moved to lambda.cs.
        (AnonymousMethod): Removed unused fields and methods.
        (AnonymousDelegate): Simplified.
        
        * codegen.cs (ResolveTopBlock): Updated renamed Resolve to Define.
        
        * convert. cs (ImplicitConversionStandard): Compatible works differently.
        
        * delegate.cs (Delegate): New mehods to reduce code duplication.
        (.GetConstructor): New method.
        (.GetInvokeMethod): New method.
        (DelegateCreation): Updated.
        
        * ecore.cs (ResolveOverloadExtensions): Don't crash when extension method
        does not exist.
        (OverloadResolve): Made probing little bit faster.
        
        * expression.cs (ParameterReference.DoResolveLValue): Reference can be null
        when probing is on.
        
        * generic.cs (TypeInferenceContext): Dummy implementation.
        
        * iterators.cs: Updated after Resolve/Define rename.

        * parameter.cs (ImplicitLambdaParameter.Resolve): Sanity check.
        (InflateTypes): Updated.

        (MemberLookup_FindMembers): More MS tricks.
        (GetParameterData): Ditto.

2007-08-01  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * class.cs (MethodData.Define): EmitContext is required for generic stuff
        only.

2007-07-31  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * statement.cs (ProcessParameters): Don't crash when parameters have wrong
        syntax.
        
2007-07-26  Jb Evain  <jbevain@novell.com>

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.GetConstructor): Add a method overload
        which takes a boolean 'report_errors', similar to the GetMethod.
        (InitCodeHelpers): StructLayoutAttribute.ctor(int16) is not visible
        in .net 2.1, do not report errors here.

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.InitCoreTypes): System.ArgIterator,
        System.Runtime.CompilerServices.RequiredAttributeAttribute and
        System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TypeForwardedToAttribute are internal
        in .net 2.1.

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.InitCoreTypes): Move the resolution
        of the type InternalsVisibleToAttribute before the first call
        to CoreLookupType which is allowed to fail (third boolean parameter
        to true). Because, during the resolution for a type that is not
        immediately found, we try to check if the type is not defined in
        a friend assembly, and to do so, we need the
        InternalVisibleToAttribute.

2007-07-23  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * expression.cs (Binary): Add support for the brain-dead CSC 2.x
        feature that allows structs to be compared against null and inline
        the result as true or false.

        Notice that the same code is not permitted inside a generic block
        of code that would do:

        class Foo<T> where T : struct {
            bool Eval (T x)
            {
                 return x == null;
            }
        }

        It is only allowed if the type of T is not bound (no where
        clause).   In my opinion, this CSC 2 behavior is broken but people
        seem to be using it (IronRuby does, a few bug reports on bugzilla
        have it and some people have complained about it).

        All of the users that depend on this behavior have code that is
        very likely broken. 
        
        * report.cs (Warning, Error): make these take object arguments,
        not strings, as that allows us to take advantage of Format.

2007-07-20  William Holmes  <billholmes54@gmail.com>

        * decl.cs: Changed MemberName.CountTypeArguments to also check the 
          Left member variable for the Count.
        * doc.cs: Changed DocUtil.GetMethodDocCommentName to call 
          MemberName.CountTypeArguments to avoid a NRE. 

        This code is contributed under the MIT X11 license

2007-07-18  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Improved lambda parsing and removed old code.

2007-07-18  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * doc.cs : generic method arguments are written as ``x while generic
          type arguments are `x. Combined with the previous change, fixed bug
          #79706.

2007-07-18  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #82120
        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): When converting
        'a + (- b)' to 'a - b', ensure that the unary '-' is discarded.

2007-07-18  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * doc.cs : when T: or whatever x: is specified, it does not really
          check the doc comment's syntax correctness. Fixed bug #82006.

2007-07-18  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * anonymous.cs (AnonymouseMethodExpression): Refactored to work with

2007-07-13  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * iterators.cs (Yield.CheckContext): Check for the iterator type
        also here as we can call into Yield even in codepaths that are not
        directly checked by
        (MethodOrOperator is the only path that was checked).

        In addition to the standard check, use a more specific check for
        constructors to report a more verbose error. 

2007-07-12  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * ecore.cs (FieldExpr.AddressOf): Do not stop processing here,
        report the warning and continue 

        * statement.cs (Using.EmitLocalVariableDecls): We were leaving
        values on the stack on the call to Emit.   Use EmitStatement if
        possible, or using Emit + Pop if not possible.   Fixes #82064

        System.Enum to System.ValueType.

2007-04-13  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        Rewrote implicit reference conversions.  We need to distinguish
        between implicit reference conversions (13.1.4) and implicit
        boxing conversions (13.1.5).

        According to the spec, there's an an implicit conversion
        "From a one-dimensional array-type S[] to IList<T> and base
        interfaces of this interface, provided there is an implicit
        reference conversion from S to T."  Note that this does not
        include boxing conversions.

        * delegate.cs (DelegateCreation.ResolveMethodGroupExpr): Use
        TypeManager.DropGenericMethodArguments() so we also call
        IMethodData.SetMemberIsUsed() for generic methods.  Fixes #80357.

2007-04-10  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * iterators.cs (Iterator.CreateIterator): Don't crash if
        `method.ReturnType' is null.  This happens if something went wrong
        while resolving that typ (we already reported an error in this case).

2007-04-10  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (New.DoResolve): Don't call CheckComImport() on

        'reachability', and verify they're consistent.

        Fix #81121
        * expression.cs (New.EmitStatement): Handle type parameters here too.

2007-03-29  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        `ec.CurrentAnonymousMethod.Scope == Scope'.

        * statement.cs (Block.ScopeInfo): Make this a property.

2007-03-27  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@gmail.com>

        generic types.

2007-03-26  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * flowanalysis.cs (FlowBranching.Reachability): Use a boolean
        instead of TriState.  Remove all mention of TriState.

        * flowanalysis.cs (FlowBranching.Reachability): Prepare to be
        replaced by a boolean.  Add boolean 'is_unreachable' field, check

        solution until we get a new bitconverter class.

2007-03-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        Fix #81158.

        * decl.cs (MemberCache.AddMembers): Add generic methods both as
        "Method" and "Method`1".  Normally, a cache lookup is done on the
        "Method" form (ie. without the generic arity), but this one makes
        lookups on the full form work as well.

2007-03-22  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * flowanalysis.cs (Reachability): Reorganize slightly, and remove
        unused properties.

2007-03-20  Bill Holmes  <billholmes54@gmail.com>
        * class.cs: 
        Added 2 MemberCoreArrayList objects, ordered_explicit_member_list and
        ordered_member_list, to TypeBuilder to store members to be defined
        in the order they were parsed in.
        - ordered_explicit_member_list contains all properties indexers
          and methods that are defined as explicit implementation of an
          interface or base class.
        - ordered_member_list contains all properties indexers and methods
          that are not defined as explicit implementation of an interface
          or base class.

        Removed MethodArrayList and IndexerArrayList from TypeBuilder.  The 
        functionality in these removed classes has been replaced with 
        ComputeIndexerName, EmitIndexerName, HasEqualss, HasGetHashCode, and 
        CheckEqualsAndGetHashCode members defined and called in the TypeBuilderClass.

        Adding CheckForDuplications to PropertyBase.PropertyMethod and calls
        to CheckForDuplications inside GetMethod and SetMethod Define Method
        to handle method property and indexer name conflicts.

        Fixes #79434

        has already been created by CreateType().
        (TypeContainer.DefineTypeBuilder): Renamed into CreateTypeBuilder();
        don't resolve our base classes here; this has been moved into
        DefineBaseTypes().  We're now called from CreateType().
        (TypeContainer.DefineBaseTypes): New private method; resolve our
        base classes here.  We're now called from DefineType().

        * rootcontext.cs
        (RootContext.ResolveTree): Call TypeContainer.CreateType() on all
        our types first to create all the TypeBuilders.  After that, call
        TypeContainer.DefineType() on all the types which'll resolve their
        base classes and setup the resolve order.

2007-03-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        (Const.CreateConstantReference): Make this virtual.

        * class.cs (Kind): Add `Kind.Enum'.

        in the `RootContext.typecontainer_resolve_order'.

        * rootcontext.cs (RootContext.EmitCode): Don't emit the enums
        here; they're already in the `typecontainer_resolve_order'.

        with the changes from David, fixes the build.

2007-03-05  David Mitchell  <dmitchell@logos.com>

        * convert.cs: Implement From System.Collecitons.Generic.IList<T>
        and its base interfaces to a one-dimensional array type S[],

        A fix for bug #80650

        (Compatible is the final call). 

        * statement.cs (CloneContext): Introduce class to provide block
        remapping during clone.

        All statements Clone themselves now.

        (Clone): special handling for blocks, when we clone a block, we
        register the block inside this routine, as children of the block
        might trigger a lookup. 
        
        * expression.cs: Add support for CloneContext in all expressions. 
        
2007-02-17  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

2007-02-15  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        C# 3.0 extension methods.

        * attribute.cs (Error_MisusedExtensionAttribute): Extension attribute
        cannot be used directly.

        * class.cs (Class.Emit): Emit extension attribute if any class method
        is extension method.
        (Method.Define): Add basic extension method validation conditions.
        (Method.Emit): Emit extension attribute for method.

        * codegen.cs (AssemblyClass): Emit extension attribute if at least one
        extension method exists. Currently we follow same approach as Microsoft
        does, emit even if a method or a class are private but this can change
        later.

        * cs-parser.jay: Add handling of `this' keyword in method parameters
        context.

        * decl.cs (DeclSpace.IsStaticClass): New property.
        (MemberCache.FindExtensionMethods): Looks for extension methods with
        defined name and extension type.

        * doc.cs: Updated after OverloadResolve changes.

        * driver.cs: Add new soft reference to System.Core.dll.

        * ecore.cs (MethodLookup): Can return only MethodGroupExpr.
        (ExtensionMethodGroupExpr): Represents group of extension methods.

        * expression.cs (Invocation): Moved methods BetterConversion, MoreSpecific,
        BetterFunction, IsOverride, IsAncestralType, OverloadResolve
        to MethodGroupExpr and made non-static for easier customization.
        (Invocation.DoResolve): Add extension method lookup when no standard
        method was found.
        (MemberAccess.DoResolve): Try extension methods if no member exists.

        * modifiers.cs: Add METHOD_EXTENSION modifier.

        * namespace.cs (RegisterExtensionMethodClass): Register class namespace
        as well as candidate extension type.
        (ComputeNamespaces): When assembly constains extension methods registers
        them.
        (Namespace.RegisterExternalExtensionMethodClass): Register type for later
        extension method lookup.
        (Namespace.LookupExtensionMethod): Looks for extension method in this
        namespace.
        (NamespaceEntry.LookupExtensionMethod): Does extension methods lookup to
        find a method which matches name and extensionType.

        * parameter.cs (Parameter): Add This modifer.
        (HasExtensionMethodModifier): New property.
        (Resolve): Add extension parameter check.
        (ModFlags): turned to property to exclude this modifier as it is not real
        parameter modifier.
        (Parameters): Implemented ExtensionMethodType and HasExtensionMethodType.

        * support.cs (ParameterData): Add ExtensionMethodType.
        (ReflectionParameters): Implemented ExtensionMethodType interface property.

        * typemanager.cs: Add type and ctor extension attribute type.

2007-02-15  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * report.cs (DisableErrors, EnableErrors): used to prevent error
        output when we are "trying" to compile various methods with
        different types. 

        * ecore.cs (Expression): Add Clone method that calls the virtual
        CloneTo method.  The current CloneTo method in Expression throws
        an exception so we can track down all the places where this must
        be implemented (not using abstract, because that would be a lot of
        up-front-work before we can start testing the implementation
        idea). 

        Important: we only need Clone capabilities for expressions created
        by the parser, as the expressions we will be cloning are
        expressions in the pre-resolved state.   This vastly simplifies
        the work required. 
        
        (SimpleName): Add CloneTo that does nothing.
        (EmptyCast): Add CloneTo.
        
        * expression.cs (Binary): Implement CloneTo.
        (Invocation.IsApplicable): Store the current ec in
        EmitContext.TempEc and restore it on return.  This is used so we
        do not have to sprinkle hundres of methods with an extra
        EmitContext, we know that the only user is the lambda expression
        ImplicitConversionExists code. 
        
        (Argument): Add Cloning capabilities.
        (LocalVariableReference, ParenthesizedExpression, Unary, Probe,
        Cast, Conditional, ArrayCreation, InvocationOrCast, Invocation,
        ArglistAccess, ArgList, TypeOf, SizeOf, CheckedExpr,
        UnCheckedExpr, ElementAccess, BaseAccess, BaseIndexerAccess,
        IndexerAccess): Add Clone capability.

        (LocalVariableReference, This): TODO: needs cloned Block mapping.

        (Argument): Add cloning capability.

        * assign.cs (Assign): Implement CloneTo.

        * anonymous.cs (ImplicitStandardConversionExists): Make virtual.
        
        * lambda.cs (ImplicitStandardConversionExists): Implement lambda
        version by calling Convert with the EmitContext (that we are
        currently storing in ec, this is not great, but will do for now,
        to avoid passing EmitContext parameters to hundreds of functions
        that do not need them now).

        (SetExpression): Remove, it is not needed.
        
        (ContextualReturn): Implement CloneTo.

        * statement.cs (Statement): Implement cloning infrastructure,
        similar to expressions.

        (Block): Partial implementation of Clone for statements.

        (Return): Implement clone.
        
        * constant.cs (Constant.CloneTo): New method, does nothing.

        * codegen.cs (TempEc): Add a static EmitContext as a temporary
        solution, until we decide how to exactly do this.  
        
2007-02-14  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>
 
        A fix for bug #80493
        * class.cs (FindOutBaseMethod): When the base accessor does not exist and
        a property is override we need to use second accessor.

2007-02-13  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>
 
        A fix for bug #80418

        * class.cs (Constructor.Emit): Check the return value of
        ec.ResolveTopBlock() and return on error.

2007-02-13  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * ecore.cs (Error_InvalidExpressionStatement): Add a comma to error
        message to fix error message regression.

2007-02-12  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * delegate.cs: Delegate creation expression cannot be of Nullable type.

2007-02-12  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        A fix for bug #80749
        * assign.cs (FieldInitializer): FieldInitializer has to keep track of
        its parent container.

        * class.cs (DefineFieldInitializers): Each initializer can has different
        resolve context.

        * const.cs: Updated.

2007-02-11  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * lambda.cs (LambdaExpression.Compatible): Remove some early code,
        now all the heavy lifting to check that embedded statements or
        expressions have the right form is done in the ContextualReturn.

        (ContextualReturn): New class.  

        * ecore.cs (Error_InvalidExpressionStatement): Make a helper
        method that can be invoked to report 201, so we do not replicate
        this everywhere.

        * cs-parser.jay: Reuse Error_InvalidExpressionStatement.
        
        * cs-tokenizer.cs (xtoken): Correctly compute the column, it was
        treating tabs as spaces. 

2007-02-09  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        A fix for bug #80315 by martin.voelkle@gmail.com (Martin Voelkle)
        * assign.cs: Use full implicit conversion for right side check.

2007-02-09  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * statement.cs (Switch): Switch over boolean type is not standardized.

2007-02-08  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        A fix for bug #80755
        * decl.cs (FindBaseEvent): Don't use method cache for events.

2007-02-07  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Better syntax error handling.

        * ecore.cs, enum.cs, statement.cs, typemanager.cs: Print enum member name
        instead of underlying type value.

2007-02-06  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * driver.cs: Check define identifier before is registered.

        * namespace.cs: Use existing error message.

2007-02-06  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        A fix for bug #80742
        * expression.cs: Delegate Invoke method can be called directly.

2007-02-06  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        A fix for bug #80676
        * class.cs (IsEntryPoint): The Main method can have params modifier.

2007-02-04  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * parameter.cs (Parameter, Parameters): Add Clone method.

        * anonymous.cs (Compatible): Turn method into virtual method, so
        LambdaExpression can implement a different behavior.

        (CompatibleChecks, VerifyExplicitParameterCompatibility): Factor
        out the basic checking here, so it can be used by
        LambdaExpressions.
        
        * lambda.cs: Introduce "Compatible" function that will do the
        heavy lifting.

2007-02-02  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * attribute.cs: Unified one error message.

        * class.cs (Class): Use type attributes and not properties to test static
        class.
        (IsEntryPoint): Don's pass local variable.

        * convert.cs: Removed duplicate check.

        * decl.cs, doc.cs, ecore.cs (LookupType): Renamed to LookupNamespaceOrType.

        * namespace.cs (EnsureNamespace): Renamed to RegisterNamespace.
        (UsingEntry): Removed redundant allocation.

        * parameter.cs: Add fast path for type parameters.

        * support.cs: Don't allocate attribute when it's not used.

2007-01-30  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * anonymous.cs
        (AnonymousMethodExpression.ImplicitStandardConversionExists): turn
        this into a virtual method, so we can override it in LambdaExpression.

        * driver.cs: Improve diagnostics in case of failure. 

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Instead of trying to parse a type and a name,
        write a function that is slightly more complex and that parses:

        type identifier [, type identifier]* )

        The old function would return incorrectly a OPEN_PARENS_LAMBDA for
        this expression:

                (canEmpty ? i >= 0 : i > 0)

2007-01-30  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (parse_namespace_or_typename): Don't throw an
        exception on possibly valid code.

2007-01-29  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (is_punct) ['<']: Update to changes in
        Push/PopPosition.
        (parse_opt_type_arguments): Remove.  It's almost the same as
        parse_less_than.
        (parse_namespace_or_typename): Use parse_less_than.

2007-01-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Typo fix, its not GMCS_SOURCES but GMCS_SOURCE,
        this bug took a few hours to find, because the state saved and
        restored by PushPosition and PopPosition was ignoring the state of
        parse_generic_less_than.

        I can also now remove the handling of OP_LT and OP_GT, this solves
        the big mistery.
        
        * cs-tokenizer.cs: store the location for the ARROW token, we use
        that in the parser.

        (PushPosition, PopPosition): save/restore also `current_token',
        restore `parse_generic_less_than' (was missing).

        (parse_opt_type_arguments): use parse_type, not
        parse_namespace_or_typename to parse types.

        * lambda.cs: Empty new file, will eventually have the lambda
        expression implementation.

        * lambda.test: used to test the internal tokenizer. 

        * report.cs (FeatureIsNotISO1): Rename from
        FeatureIsNotStandardized, because it was about the language level
        (1 vs 2) it was not about standarization.

        (FeatureRequiresLINQ): New.

        * support.cs (SeekableStreamReader): Only require that the reader
        is a TextReader, not a StreamReader, so we can plug StringReader. 

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (parse_type_and_parameter): Returns true if at a
        given position in the input stream the following tokens can be
        parsed as a type followed by an identifier.

        (is_punct): after a '(' if parse_type_and_parameter returns true,
        then return a special token OPEN_PARENS_LAMBDA which is used to
        avoid reduce/reduce errors in the grammar for the
        lambda_expression rules.

        (parse_type): implement a type parser inside the
        tokenizer, the parser only returns true or false depending on
        whether the input at a given position can be parsed as a type.

        (peek_token): new method used during type parsing.

2007-01-28  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #80531
        * anonymous.cs (ScopeInfo.InflateParameters): New.
        (AnonymousContainer.Resolve): Use it to redirect types of
        delegate parameters.

2007-01-27  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #80530
        * expression.cs (Error_InvalidArguments): Don't use two different
        messages for CS1503.  Use ExtraInformation and
        SymbolRelatedToPreviousError instead.

        Fix #80358
        * decl.cs (DeclSpace.initialize_type_params): Don't access
        'type_params' of a partial class directly.

2007-01-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * constant.cs: Removed a handful of out-of-range checks that were
        not necessary. 

2007-01-25  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * expression.cs (CheckUselessComparison): Add additional check for char
        constants.

        * namespace.cs: Fixed typo.

2007-01-23  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * constant.cs: Bloat removal, CheckRange and CheckUnsigned are
        gone, instead we inline the test, preventing the needless casts to
        longs, ulongs and doubles for the parameters, avoiding calls to
        methods that overchecked stuff, and instead inlined things
        nicely. 

2007-01-20  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Better parameter error handling.

2007-01-17  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        A fix for bug #80368, #80522
        * expression.cs (ArrayCreation.only_constant_initializers): Indicates
        whether array initializer contains constants only.
        (ArrayCreation.Emit): Use better formula to decide when
        are array initializers for static initialization.
        (ArrayCreation.EmitDynamicInitializers): When the array is small enough we
        have to emit even constants otherwise they are pre-initialized.

2007-01-17  Bill Holmes  <bill.holmes@ansys.com>
            Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix emit order of 'get' vs. 'set'.
        * support.cs (Accessors): New.
        * cs-parser.jay (accessor_declarations): Use it instead of 'Pair'.
        Note the order in which accessors are declared in the source.
        * class.cs (PropertyBase.DefineGet, PropertyBase.DefineSet): New.
        Refactored from Property.Define and Indexer.Define.
        (PropertyBase.DefineAccessors): New helper that calls the above in
        appropriate order as noted by the parser.
        (Property.Define, Indexer.Define): Update to changes.
        (PropertyBase.SetMethod.PropertyInfo): Don't return a null.

2007-01-17  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix cs0029-6.cs and gcs0029-2.cs (regression)
        * ecore.cs (EmptyConstantCast.ConvertImplicitly): Check that
        there's an implicit conversion from the current type to the target
        type before converting the underlying constant.

2007-01-16  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * const.cs (ResolveValue): Updated after constant conversion was made more
        generic.

        * constant.cs (GetAttributableValue): constant to object conversion is
        used for attributes only.
        (IntConstant.ConvertImplicitly): Moved from convert to be used in all
        constant conversions.
        (LongConstant.ConvertImplicitly): Ditto.

        * convert.cs (ImplicitNumericConversion): Extracted constant bussiness.
        (ImplicitConversionStandard): Handle constant conversion as extra step.
        It solves the issue when constant conversion was called indirectly like
        inside array initializer and constant folding was skipped.

        * literal.cs (NullLiteral.ConvertImplicitly): Fixed an issue exposed by
        this change.

        * statement.cs(ImplicitConversionStandard): Updated after constant
        conversion was made more generic.

2007-01-16  Sergey P. Kondratyev <se@unicom.tomica.ru>

        * expression.cs (As.DoResolve): Use GenericConstraints instead of
        Constraints, solves the problem where the compiler incorrectly
        reported that a type parameter was not constrained to a class (Bug
        80518)

2007-01-14  Marek Habersack  <grendello@gmail.com>

        * doc-bootstrap.cs: Fix a compilation problem in the bootstrap phase.

2007-01-14  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        A fix for bug #80368
        * assign.cs (FieldInitializer): New class implements field
        initializer statement.

        * attribute.cs: Update after FieldMember rename.

        * class.cs (PropertyBasedMember): New common class for property based
        types.
        (InterfaceMemberBase): New base class for all members which can be used as
        an interface members.
        (MethodCore): Moved really common code to InterfaceMemberBase.
        (Method.Define): Equal and GetHasCode detection is relevant for methods
        only.
        (MethodData.Define): Don't assume that public event implements an
        interface automatically.
        (MethodData.DefineMethodBuilder): Issue an error even if only extern
        modifier is used.
        (MemberBase): Moved all interface speficic code to InterfaceMemberBase.
        (FieldMember): Merged with FieldBase.
        (EventProperty.AEventPropertyAccessor): New specialization to check whether
        event extern modifier can be used.
        (EventField.EventFieldAccessor): Moved event field specific code here.
        (Event.AllowedModifiers): Even event can be extern.
        (Event.FindOutBaseMethod): New override specific to events.
        (Indexer.parameters): Reintroduce parameters because base class holds
        only properties common data.
        (Indexer.CheckForDuplications): Indexers are threated as methods so we
        need do extra parameters check.

        * const.cs: Update after FieldMember rename.

        * decl.cs (MemberCache.FindBaseEvent): New method.

        * doc.cs (GetMethodDocCommentName): Accept parameters as extra argument
        to reflect that indexer is now derived from PropertyBased.

        * ecore.cs (GetMemberType): Made public.
        (EventExpr.ResolveMemberAccess): Use right event cache and checks for
        obsolete event.

        * flowanalysis.cs, statement.cs: Update after FieldMember rename.
        
        * typemanager.cs (CSharpSignature): Correctly print event accessors.
        (RegisterEvent): Removed.
        (RegisterPrivateFieldOfEvent): Renamed to RegisterEventField.
        (GetPrivateFieldOfEvent): Renamed to GetEventField.

2007-01-11  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #80249
        * statement.cs (CollectionForeach.TryType): Prefer generic
        GetEnumerator over non-generic variant.  Fix code to follow comments.

2007-01-09  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #80446
        * support.cs (ReflectionParameter): Don't use an invalid index on
        the generic parameter data.

2007-01-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * driver.cs: Just add a tiny bit of infrastructure.

2007-01-02  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        where field type is struct from current assembly.
        
        * ecore.cs (EnumConstant.AsString): Report an enum member name whenever
        it is possible.

2007-01-02  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        A fix for bug #80381
        * attribute.cs (AttributeTester.RegisterNonObsoleteType): Registers
        the core types.

        * namespace.cs (GlobalRootNamespace.LookupTypeReflection): Better error
        messages.
        (Namespace.LookupType): Always use core types from corlib when speficied.

        * report.cs: A new warning.

        * rootcontext.cs (BootstrapCorlib_ResolveInterface,
        BootstrapCorlib_ResolveClass): Register type as non-obsolete type.
        (ResolveCore): Add missing System.Runtime.InteropServices._Attribute.

        * typemanager.cs (CoreLookupType): Register type as non-obsolete type.
        (InitCoreTypes): Set expression type of object_type and value_type
        immediately after lookup.

2007-01-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Accept Pc class characters (Connector
        Punctuation) as valid identifiers.  Fixes #78259

        * expression.cs (Invocation.DoResolve): Moved the check for the
        use of `this' for doing method calls to the Invocation resolution
        step, after overload resolution has taken place instead of doing
        the check at the low-level `This.DoResolve' level.

        The `This.DoResolve'(appens before overload resolution, so it has
        no way of knowing if the method that will be called will be
        instace or static, triggering an erroneous report for cs0188 (Bug
        78113).

        We now do the check for instance method invocations after we know
        what method will be called.

        (This.CheckThisUsage): Move the actual use of this structure
        checking into its own method and expose it. 

        * Everywhere that called Error_ValueCannotBeConverted: pass a new
        EmitContext.

        Exceptions: Null.ConvertImplicitly,
        Constant.ImplicitConversionRequired as there are too many call
        sites for passing the ec. 

        * ecore.cs (Expression.Error_ValueCannotBeConverted): Take an
        EmitContext, if the value is null, then we do not try to provide
        the extra information from the error (If a userdefined conversion
        exists, as UserDefinedConversion requires a non null-EmitContext).

        Fixes: #80347

2006-12-30  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * flowanalysis.cs (MyBitVector): Document some invariants.
        (MyBitVector.Or, MyBitVector.And): Reimplement the optimizations
        introduced below, and add a couple of others, 

2006-12-30  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * attribute.cs (GetMethodObsoleteAttribute): Uses new
        GetPropertyFromAccessor and GetEventFromAccessor.
        
        * class.cs (MethodCore.CheckBase): A new warning when obsolete member
        overrides non-obsolete one.
        (Indexer.Define): Error message has been moved to the parser.

        * cs-parser.jay: Better syntax errors handling.

        * delegate.cs (NewDelegate.DoResolve): Issue less confusing error message
        when an invocation has no arguments.

        * ecore.cs: Removed not used caching.

        * expression.cs (IsSpecialMethodInvocation): Reuses TypeManager
        implementation.

        * report.cs: Add a new warning.

        * support.cs (ReflectionParameters): Implements Equals, GetHashCode.

        * typemanager.cs (enumeration_type): Removed.
        (CSharpSignature): Reuses IsSpecialMethod.
        (IsEqual): Hack for MS BCL.
        (GetPropertyFromAccessor): New method.
        (GetEventFromAccessor): New method.
        (IsSpecialMethod): Fixed to handle more cases.

2006-12-30  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (PreProcessDefinition, handle_preprocessing_directive):
        Made white spaces array static.

        * ecore.cs (RemoveGenericArity): Optimized.

        * flowanalysis.cs (MyBitVector.Or, MyBitVector.And): Optimized (up to
        10 times faster).
        (MyBitVector.initialize_vector): Simplified.

2006-12-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * ecore.cs: Am not entirely happy with this hack, but it seems to
        address the issue in 80257 (a small test case for
        CreativeDocs.NET). 

        I set the MethodGroupExpr.Type to an internal compiler type
        (itself in this case) to force the resolution to take place.   Why
        it does not take place with a null is beyond me.

2006-12-20  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        A fix for bug #80288
        * expression.cs (ResolveOperator): Consider user defined conversion for
        logical and operator too.
        (EmitBranchable): Optimization for logical and when full constant folding
        could not be applied but one operand is constant.

2006-12-19  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * class.cs (GetClassBases): Write 5 times every day, will never use
        FullName for error reporting.

        * decl.cs (AsAccessible, CheckAccessLevel): Always unpack arrays first.

2006-12-19  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (LocalInfo.EmitSymbolInfo): New public method; emit
        the symbol file info here.

2006-12-18  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (handle_preprocessing_directive): When previous section
        of `elseif' is taking then following sections are not taking.
        Fixes an issue reported on mono mailing list.

2006-12-18  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        Fix test-543.cs
        * expression.cs (VerifyArgumentsCompat): Allow zero arguments to
        satisfy a params annotated parameter.

2006-12-16  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        A fix for bug #77014
        * expression.cs (Invocation.BetterFunction): Fixed to cope with dynamic

2006-12-13  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * expression.cs (Unary): Reimplemented +,-,~ to conform C# standard.

        * literal.cs (NullConstant): Change to be independently usable.

2006-11-29  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Constructor.Emit): Correctly handle anonymous methods;

        * expression.cs (ParameterReference.DoResolveBase): Create a

2006-11-19  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        A fix for bug #79810
        report.cs: CS1058 only applies to 2.0 profile (gmcs).

        * convert.cs (GetConversionOperator): Replaced EmitContext with parentType.
        (UserDefinedConversion): Simplified as the operators cannot be internal.
        * ecore.cs (Error_ValueCannotBeConverted): Take account of user
        conversions.
        (MethodLookup): Replaced EmitContext with parentType.
        * expression.cs: Updated.

2006-11-09  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * driver.cs (BadAssembly): Handle all the ugliness of
        DefineDynamicAssembly.

2006-11-08  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Address parts of #58244 -- most of what's left is in the runtime
        * driver.cs (LoadAssembly): Simplify slightly.  Add CS0009 and
        CS1509 error checks, and handle them for all assembly loads, not
        just the first invocation.
        (LoadModule): Likewise.  Move handling of 'adder_method' ...

        A fix for bug #78965
        ecore.cs (PropertyExpr.InstanceResolve): The qualifier for access

        A fix for bug #79724

        * ecore.cs (OperatorCast): routine used to do cast operations that
        depend on op_Explicit.  We could change some of the Decimal
        conversions to use this.

        This one has a probe mechanism that checks both types for an op_
        which it coudl be used to eliminate two classes: CastToDecimal
        and CastFromDecimal.

        * convert.cs: Implement the conversions documented in #59800
        
2006-10-10  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

2006-10-09  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        (Delegate.DefineType): Don't call TypeParameter.Resolve() here;
        moved that into Define() and also do the other type parameter
        checks there.  Fixes #79094.  Added gtest-292.cs.

        * expression.cs
        (ArrayCreation.EmitDynamicInitializers): Use `etype.IsValueType'

        * class.cs (DefineTypeBuilder): Check circular dependencies before
        setting the parent of the TypeBuilder.
        (CheckRecursiveDefinition): Don't use 'BaseType', since
        it may not be valid until after DefineTypeBuilder.  Use
        'base_type' instead.

2006-10-04  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (EmptyExpression.Grab, EmptyExpression.Release):

        Fix #79451
        * ecore.cs (Expression.MemberLookup): Enable CS0229 errors for
        non-interfaces too.  If no methods are found, don't try to create

        this so that the ResolveTopBlock is only triggered once, not
        twice.

        Currently we trigger ResolvetopBlock twice due to a first pass of
        argument check compatibility, and a second pass that does the
        actual resolution.

        Fix regression test-partial-13.cs.
        Rationalize use of PartialContainer.  Ensure that the partial
        class semantics can be tied to type-correctness, i.e., any
        violation will cause a compile error.
        * class.cs, const.cs: Access all fields that belong to class

        not needed.

        * assign.cs, constant.cs, convert.cs, delegate.cs, expression.cs:
        Updated after another emitcontext usage was clean up. It should help us to
        synchronize with gmcs easier.

2006-03-04  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        A fix for #77353.

2006-02-27  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.PosArguments, Attribute.NamedArguments): Use
        these two separated members to simplify the code.
        (Attribute.Resolve): Refactored to use new fields and methods.
        (Attribute.ResolveConstructor): Extracted from ResolveArguments and
        implemented obsolete attribute checking.
        (Attribute.ResolveNamedArguments): Extracted from ResolveArguments and
        implemented obsolete checking again. It look line never ending quest ;-)
        (GlobalAttribute.ResolveConstructor): Need to override as the rest.

        * cfold.cs (BinaryFold): TryReduce throws an exception to indicate error.

        * constanct.cs (TryReduce): Throws OverflowException to indicate error.

        *class.cs (Property.Define): Add RegisterProperty call.

        encoding expression to arguments.
        (Expression.ExprClassToResolveFlags): Just turned to property.

        error multiple times.

2006-02-25  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        New partial class implementation.
        A fix for #77027, #77029, #77403

        * attribute.cs (Attributable): Made attributes protected.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer): Add PartialContainer and partial_parts as
        the replacements of ClassPart and PartialContainer.
        (TypeContainer.AddClassOrStruct): Call RecordDecl here.
        (TypeContainer.AddInterface): Ditto.
        (TypeContainer.AddPartial): The main method for partial classes. It checks
        for errors and merges ModFlags and attributes. At the end class is added to
        partial_parts list.
        (TYpeContainer.DefineDefaultConstructor): Checks whether default ctor is
        required here.
        (TypeContainer.GetClsCompliantAttributeValue): Cope with partial class too.
        (TypeContainer.GetNormalPartialBases): Resolves base classes and interfaces
        from the rest of partial classes.
        (TypeContainer.GetClassBases): Simplified.
        (TypeContainer.DefineTypeBuilder): New method, mostly extracted from
        DefineType.
        (TypeContainer.DefineDefaultConstructor): Is used by derived classes.
        (TypeContainer.HasExplicitLayout): Uses Flags now.
        (PartialContainer): Removed.
        (ClassOrStruct.AddToContainer): Moved enclosing member name check here.
        (StaticClass): Was merged with Class.
        (Class.GetClassBases): class and static class bases are verified here.
        (Class.TypeAttr): Added static attributes when class is static.
        (Struct.RegisterFieldForInitialization): Moved from TypeContainer.
        (MemberBase): In some cases we need to call parent container for partial
        class. It should be eliminated but it's not easy now.

        * cs-parser.jay: Replaced all PartialContainer with AddPartial.

        * decls.cs (MemberCore.DocComment): Introduced new property as is used by
        partial classed to accumulate class comments.
        (MemberCore.GetClsCompliantAttributeValue): Moved from TypeContainer.

        * doc.cs (GenerateTypeDocComment): Partial classes clean up.

        * driver.cs (MainDriver): Tree.GetDecl was removed.

        * modifiers.cs (Modifiers): Add partial modifier.

        * tree.cs (Tree.decl): Removed.
        (RootTypes): Started to use this class more often for root types
        specializations.

2006-02-22  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        A fix for #77615

        * attribute.cs (AttributeTester.GetCoClassAttribute): Don't crash when
        external interface does not have an attribute.

2006-02-22  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        Another prerequisites for new partial classs implementation.
        
        * attribute.cs (Attribute.Equal): Implemented.
        (Attribute.Emit): Changed as attributes can be applied more than twice.
        (Attributes.Emit): Check for duplicate attributes here.

        * class.cs, decl.cs, delegate.cs, doc.cs, enum.cs: Don't pass DeclSpace
        as a parameter, clean-up.

2006-02-11  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        A fix for #77485

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.DefineType): Cannot use ResolveType because it
        contains obsolete attribute check which can in some cases look for base
        type of current class which is not initialized yet.
        (TypeContainer.BaseType): Replacement of ptype.

        * decl.cs (MemberCore.CheckObsoleteType): Reuse existing code.

2006-02-11  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        First of prerequisites for new partial classs implemention.
        
        * attribute.cs (Attributable): Extended by ResolveContext;
        Attributes finally have correct context for resolving in all cases.
        (AttachTo): Attribute owner is assigned here.

        * codegen.cs (IResolveContext): Introduce new interface to hold
        all information needed in resolving phase.
        (EmitContext): Implements IResolveContext; more clean-up needed here.
        
        * decl.cs (MemberCore): Implemented IResolveContext.

        * anonymous.cs, attribute.cs, class.cs, codegen.cs, const.cs,
        decl.cs, ecore.cs, enum.cs, expression.cs, iterators.cs, namespace.cs,
        parameter.cs, statement.cs, tree.cs, typemanager.cs:
        Refactored to use new IResolveContext instead of EmitContext; cleanup

2006-02-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * codegen.cs (EmitScopeInitFromBlock): check here the
        capture_context, there is no need to make two calls to the
        EmitContext. 

        * anonymous.cs: Add some debugging messages that might help me
        track other instances of this problem in the future (the
        regression of test 467).

        * cs-parser.jay: track the variable block, as we need to initalize
        any captured variables declared in this block for the "catch"
        portion of the "Try" statement.

        * statement.cs (Try.Emit): If the "Catch" has a VarBlock, emit any
        scope initialization for captured variables. 

        Also, move the emit for the variables after the block location has
        been marked.

2006-02-06  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * ecore.cs (PropertyExpr.FindAccessors): Just made flags const.

2006-02-02  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * anonymous.cs (CaptureContext.EmitInitScope): I was wrong in the
        commit yesterday, the initialization for the roots is necessary.
        What is not necessary is the scope activation.

2006-02-02  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * ecore.cs (PropertyExpr.DoResolveLValue): Add CS0206 check.
        * expression.cs (IndexerAccess.DoResolveLValue): Add CS1612 and
        CS0206 checks.
        (Argument.Resolve): Remove CS0206 checks.

2006-02-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * anonymous.cs (CaptureContext.EmitInitScope): Do not emit the
        scopes for all the roots, the scopes will now be emitted when the
        Blocks are entered.   [This change was wrong, fixed on 2006-02-02]

        (CaptureContext.EmitScopeInitFromBlock): Simply emit the ScopeInfo
        code.  This reduces a lot of existing cruft.
        
        * statement.cs (Block.Emit): Call EmitScopeInitFromBlock here, so
        that the ScopeInfo is generated as we enter the scope, not at the
        time of use, which is what we used to do before.

        * codegen.cs (EmitScopeInitFromBlock): New routine, this is called
        every time a Block is about to be emitted if we have a
        CaptureContext. 

2006-02-01  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * typemanager.cs (NoTypes, NoTypeExprs): Remove.
        (Reset): Update.
        * *.cs: Use Type.EmptyTypes instead of TypeManager.NoTypes.

        * typemanager.cs (cons_param_array_attribute): Make private.
        (Reset): Set it to null.
        (InitCoreHelpers): Don't initialize it.
        (ConsParamArrayAttribute): New.  Initialize it as needed.
        * parameter.cs (ParamsParameter.ApplyAttribute): Update to change.

2006-01-31  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * expression.cs: There might be errors reported during the
        selection of applicable methods.  If there are errors, do not
        continue execution as it will lead the compiler to crash.

2006-01-30  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * expression.cs: Member access is not allowed on anonymous
        methods.  Fixes #77402.

2006-01-30  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #77401
        * cs-parser.jay (VariableDeclaration): Don't set
        current_array_type to null.
        (field_declaration, event_declaration, declaration_statement):
        Set it to null here.

2006-01-28  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@gmail.com>

        * typemanager.cs (GenericParameterPosition): New.
        * doc.cs: Use it.

2006-01-28  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * doc.cs : To process "include" elements, first we should create
          another list than XmlNodeList, because it could result in node
          removal, which could result in that the XmlNodeList gives up
          yielding next node.

          (Also made code identical to gmcs again.)

2006-01-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * ecore.cs: Introduce an error report that we were not catching
        before, if not silent, we must report the error.  Gonzalo ran into
        it.

2006-01-23  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        A fix for bug: #76957
        
        * iterators.cs (MoveNextMethod.CreateMethodHost): call
        ComputeMethodHost before creating the method, this is a new
        requirement. 

        * anonymous.cs (AnonymousContainer): Now we track all the scopes
        that this method references (RegisterScope).  The actual scope
        where the method is hosted is computed with the ComputeMethodHost
        before we create the method.

        Moved the Deepest routine here.

        (AnonymousContainer.ComputeMethodHost): New routine used to
        compute the proper ScopeInfo that will host the anonymous method.

        (ScopeInfo): Deal with multiple roots.  The problem was that we
        did not have a unique root where all ScopeInfos could be hanged
        from.   Remove `topmost' ScopeInfo, and instead keep an arraylist
        of roots.  

        Remove AdjustMethodScope which is now computed at the end.  Remove
        LinkScope which did a partial link, instead link all ScopeInfos
        before code generation from the new "LinkScopes" routine. 

        Simplify all the Add* routines as they no longer need to maintain
        the tree, they just need to record that they are using variables
        from a ScopeInfo.

        (IsAncestor, GetAncestorScopes, GetParentScope, LinkScope): New
        routines to produce the forest of ScopeInfo trees.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.AppendMethod): This is just like
        AddMethod, but ensures that an interface implementation method
        (IEnumerable.XXX) is not inserted at the beginning of the queue of
        methods, but at the end.

        We use this functionality to ensure that the generated MoveNext
        method in the iterator class is resolved/emitted before the
        enumerator methods created.   

        This is required because the MoveNext method computes the right
        ScopeInfo for the method.  And the other methods will eventually
        need to resolve and fetch information computed from the anonymous
        method. 

2006-01-21  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@gmail.com>
            Carlos Alberto Cortez  <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        Fix rest of #76995.
        * namespace.cs (NamespaceEntry.UsingExternalAliases): Don't add to
        the 'aliases' hash.
        (NamespaceEntry.LookupAlias): Lookup 'extern_aliases' hash too.
        (NamespaceEntry.VerifyUsing): Resolve external aliases too.

2006-01-18  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #76656, cs0231-2.cs.
        * cs-parser.jay (formal_parameter_list): Make error case catch
        more issues.
        (parenthesized_expression_0): Add CS1026 check.
        (invocation_expression): Remove unused { $$ = lexer.Location }.

2006-01-17  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #76824.
        * cs-parser.jay (statement_expression): Don't list out the
        individual statement-expressions.  Convert syntax error into
        CS0201 check.

2006-01-16  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #76874.
        * ecore.cs (MemberAccess.CheckIntermediateModification): Remove.
        (UnboxCast.DoResolveLValue): New.  Move CS0445 check from
        CheckIntermediateModification.
        (FieldExpr.DoResolve): Add new two-argument version that
        allows us to resolve the InstanceExpression as an lvalue.
        The one-argument variant is now just a wrapper.
        (FieldExpr.DoResolveLValue): Use two-argument DoResolve.
        Resolve the lhs as an lvalue if the it has a value type.
        (FieldExpr.AssignToReadonly): Move CS1648 and CS1650 checks
        from Assign.DoResolve.
        (PropertyExpr.InstanceResolve): Allow InstanceExpression to be
        resolved as an lvalue.
        (PropertyExpr.DoResolve): Update.
        (PropertyExpr.DoResolveLValue): Resolve the lhs as an lvalue if it
        has a value type.  Move CS1612 check here from
        CheckIntermediateModification.
        * assign.cs (Assign.DoResolve): Remove CS1648 and CS1650 checks.
        * expression.cs (EmptyExpression.OutAccess): New.  Used as the
        'right_side' of a ResolveLValue on an 'out' argument.
        (EmptyExpression.LValueMemberAccess): New.  Used as the
        'right_side' of a propagated ResolveLValue on a value type.
        (LocalVariableReference.DoResolveBase): Recognize
        EmptyExpression.OutAccess and EmptyExpression.LValueMemberAccess.
        Add CS1654 check.
        (Argument.Resolve): Use EmptyExpression.OutAccess rather than
        EmptyExpression.Null.

2006-01-16  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs : added IsGenericParameter(). In mcs it always
          return false.
        * doc.cs : for generic parameters, use GenericParameterPosition,
          not FullName.

2006-01-12  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@andrew.cmu.edu>

        * expression.cs: Fix Console.WriteLine ((this = x).foo);

2006-01-12  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        This fixes the problem where we used ldfld instead of ldflda to
        load the "THIS" pointer on captured parameters, when THIS is a
        value type.  See bug #77205.
        
        * iterators.cs (CapturedThisReference.Emit): Pass false to
        EmitThis (we do not need the address).

        * codegen.cs (EmitThis): it needs to know whether we need the
        address of `this' or not.  This is used by value types.  

        * expression.cs (This.AddressOf): Pass true to the EmitThis call,
        every other call passes false.

2006-01-12  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #77221.
        * typemanager.cs (TryGetBaseDefinition): Rename from the mis-named
        GetOverride.
        * expression.cs (Invocation.OverloadResolve): Update.
        (Invocation.DoResolve): Avoid double resolution of invocation.

2006-01-11  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #77180.
        * expression.cs (Unary.Emit): When in /checked+ mode, don't emit
        unary negation of floating point types as 0-expr; negation cannot
        overflow in floating point types.

        Fix #77204.
        * expression.cs (MemberAccess.DoResolve): Disallow the use of '.'
        on operands of 'void' type.

        Fix #77200.
        * cfold.cs (BinaryFold): Implement folding of BinaryOr, BinaryAnd
        and ExclusiveOr for boolean constants too.

2006-01-09  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #75636.
        * expression.cs (Invocation.OverloadResolve): Replace reflected
        override methods with their base virtual methods, rather than
        skipping over them.
        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.GetOverride): New.

2006-01-05  Jb Evain  <jbevain@gmail.com>

        * class.cs (Property.Define, Indexer.Define): do not tag the
        properties as SpecialName | RTSpecialName.

2006-01-04  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * class.cs (MethodCore.IsDuplicateImplementation): This method was
        doing a low-level comparission of parameter types.  It was lacking
        a check for __argslist. 

2005-12-30  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * expression.cs (ParameterReference.DoResolveBase): Allow
        reference parameters if they are local to this block. 

        This allows the ref and out parameters of a delegate to be used in
        an anonymous method, for example:

        delegate void set (out int x);

        set s = delegate (out int x){
                x = 0;
        };

        This is used by functionality introduced late in the C# language.
        
        * anonymous.cs (AnonymousMethod.Compatible): Allow anonymous
        method that take ref and out parameters. 

        Fixes #77119 which was a late change in the spec.

2005-12-23  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * anonymous.cs (ScopeInfo.LinkScope): Do not link the scope to its
        parent if its the same scope.  Fixes #77060.

2005-12-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * driver.cs: Report the case of no source files and no -out:
        argument provided.

2005-12-20  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #77035.
        * expression.cs (ComposedCast.GetSignatureForError): Define.

2005-12-18 Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        Fix #76995

        * namespace.cs (NamespaceEntry): Add extern_aliases as a
        ListDictionary, to contain the ExternAliasEntry entries (in
        addition to the NamespaceEntry.aliases hashtable). This field is
        shared between the original entry and its doppelganger (bodyless 
        copy of it).
        (NamespaceEntry.UsingExternalAlias): Add the extern alias entry to
        extern_aliases field.
        (NamespaceEntry.Lookup): Move the IsImplicit check after the
        lookup in extern_aliases.

2005-12-16  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #77006.
        * class.cs (TypeContainer.Mark_HasEquals): New.
        (TypeContainer.Mark_HasGetHashCode): New.
        (ClassPart): Override them.
        (MethodCore.CheckBase): Use them instead of referring to Parent.Methods.

        Fix #77008.
        * enum.cs (EnumMember.EnumMember): Pass the parent_enum as the
        'parent' argument to the base constructor.

        Remove all mention of TypeContainer from decl.cs.
        * decl.cs (MemberCore.Parent): Change into a DeclSpace.
        (MemberCore.MemberCore): Change type of 'parent' argument to DeclSpace.
        (DeclSpace.DeclSpace): Likewise.
        (DeclSpace.DefineMembers): Remove unused argument.
        * cs-parser.jay (pop_current_class): Update to changes.  Simplify
        debugging check -- we don't care if the debug code throws an
        InvalidCastException instead of an InternalErrorException.
        * class.cs (TypeContainer.DefineMembers): Update to changes.
        (TypeContainer.DoDefineMembers): Likewise.
        (TypeContainer.GetMethods): Likewise.
        (PropertyMember.Define): Likewise.
        (MemberBase.Parent): New property that forwards to
        MemberCore.Parent, but ensures that we get a TypeContainer.
        * rootcontext.cs (RootContext.PopulateCoreType): Update to changes.
        (RootContext.PopulateTypes): Likewise.  Remove special case code
        for !RootContext.StdLib: DefineMembers is idempotent.

2005-12-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * convert.cs (ExplicitConversionCore): Check the return value from
        ExplicitConversionCore which can return null on failure.  Fixes #76914

2005-12-13  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * class.cs (Method.ApplyAttributeBuilder): Test out modifier properly.

2005-12-11  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * doc.cs : The search for referenced namespace was insufficient to
          get global one as it used to do. Fixed bug #76965.

2005-12-10  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * doc.cs : check name in cref in the last phase that whether it is
          namespace or not.

2005-12-09  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs : reverted the latest change: it somehow broke
          Mono.C5.

2005-12-09  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * doc.cs : so it turned out that we cannot skip override check for 
          interface members. Fixed bug #76954.

2005-12-09  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs : fixed bug #75984:
          - #warning and #error should not be handled when the source line
            is disabled.
          - #line is not checked strictly when the source line is disabled.
          - #define and #undef is on the other hand checked strictly at any
            state.

2005-12-08  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs : missing Location (actually, filename) in one of
          CS1027 report.

2005-12-05  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * attribute.cs (GlobalAttribute.ctor): Pass NamespaceEntry only.

        * class.cs (EmitFieldInitializers): Simplified and fixed to work with
        event initializers.
        (FieldBase.EmitInitializer): Moved from TypeContainer and simplified.
        (FieldBase.Initializer): Initializer is now optional.
        (EventField.Define): Only event field can have initializer.

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext): DeclSpace is not readonly (small hack).

        * const.cs (Const): Reuse initializer.

        * cs-parser.jay: Updated after FieldBase changes.
        Added current_array_type to simplify array initializers.

        * ecore.cs (NullCast.IsDefaultValue): Implemented.

        * expression.cs, iterators.cs: Updated.

        * namespace.cs (NamespaceEntry): Made UsingFound private.

2005-12-05  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        Fix #76849.
        * class.cs (Constructor.Emit): Set obsolete checking for whole context.

        * enum.cs (Enum.Define): Set obsolete context here.

2005-12-05  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * doc.cs :
          - FindDocumentedMember() now expects 1) paramList as null
            when "we don't have to check the number of parameters" and
            2) Type.EmptyTypes when "there is no arguments".
          - Introduced FoundMember struct to hold the exact type which was
            used to find the documented member (the above change broke
            test-xml-044; it might be better just to use DeclaringType than
            what MS does, like this change does, but it depends on usage.)

2005-12-05  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * doc.cs : documented member might be from DeclaringType for nested
          types. Fixed bug #76782.

2005-12-03  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * anonymous.cs: Have the param code handle leaving copies on the
        stack etc. Allows anonymous params to take part in the assignment
        code (++, +=, etc). Fixes bug #76550

        * expression.cs: Handle the prepare_for_load/leave_copy by passing
        it down to the anon code.

        * iterators.cs: Use dummy var here

        * codegen.cs: Handle new vars

2005-12-01  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        Fix #76849.
        * class.cs (MethodData.Define): Set proper Obsolete context.

        * ecore.cs (FieldExpr.ResolveMemberAccess): Don't check [Obsolete] in
        obsolete context.
        (FieldExpr.DoResolve): Ditto.

2005-12-01  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        Fix #76849.
        * class.cs (MethodCore.DoDefineParameters): Test [Obsolete] only when
        parent is not obsolete.

2005-12-01  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * doc.cs : (FindDocumentedMember) find parameterless members first
          and get CS0419 in the early stage. Fixed first case of bug #76727.

2005-11-30  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        Fix #76859.
        * ecore.cs (Expression.ResolveAsConstant): Report constant error only when
        no error was reported.

        *expression.cs (Binary.DoResolve): left can be null.

2005-11-22  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

2005-11-21  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        Fix #76761.
        * parameter.cs (Parameter.ApplyAttributeBuilder): Fixed `ref' detection.

2005-11-18  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * attribute.cs (AreParametersCompliant): Moved to Parameter.

        * class.cs (MethodCore): Parameter clean up.
        (IMethodData): Added ParameterInfo.
        (MethodData): Parameter clean up.

        * doc.cs,
        * ecore.cs,
        * flowanalysis.cs,
        * iterators.cs,
        * pending.cs,
        * statement.cs,
        * typemanager.cs: Parameter clean up.

        * delegate.cs (Define): Get rid of duplicated code.

        * expression.cs (ParameterReference): Removed useless parameters
        and simplified.
        (Invocation): Ditto.

        * parameter.cs (ParamsParameter): New class, params specialization.
        (ArglistParameter): Attemp to separate arglist.
        (Parameter): Refactored to be reusable and faster.
        (Parameter.Modifier): Made understandable.
        (Parameters): Changed to be used as a class for `this' assembly
        parameters. Refactored to use new specialized classes.

        * support.cs (ParameterData): Added Types property.
        (InternalParameters): Deleted.

2005-08-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        Merging this patch from GMCS to fix #75867.

        * anonymous.cs (CaptureContext.CaptureThis): Create the topmost
        scope if we don't already have it.

2005-11-17  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * anonymous.cs
        (CaptureContext.EmitMethodHostInstance): Use `Ldarg_0' if we
        inherit the scope from our parent.  Fixes #76653.

2005-11-16  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * doc.cs : the previous patch does not actually fix the bug.
          PropertyInfo override check is now implemented and really fixed it.
        * expression.cs : Invocation.IsAncestralType() is used from doc.cs.

2005-11-16  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * doc.cs : apply "override filter" also to properties.
          Fixed bug #76730.

2005-11-16  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * doc.cs : renamed FindMembers() to FindMethodBase(). For interfaces,
          no need to check overrides. For classes, omit those results from 
          interfaces since they must exist in the class. Fixed bug #76726.

2005-11-15  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs : (GetFullNameSignature) differentiate indexers
          with different parameters. Fixed the second problem in #76685.

2005-11-15  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * doc.cs : (FindDocumentedMember) pass invocation_type as well (to
          get expected 'protected' access in CheckValidFamilyAccess()).
          Fixed bug #76692.

2005-11-15  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * doc.cs : (GenerateTypeDocComment) Fields could be FixedField.
          Fixed bug #76705.  CS1569 was incorrectly commented out.

2005-11-14  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * doc.cs : use Invocation.IsOverride() to do real override check.
        * expression.cs : made Invocation.IsOverride() internal.

2005-11-14  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * doc.cs : use TypeManager.FindMembers() instead of (possible)
          TypeBuilder.FindMembers() and filter overriden base members out.
          Fixed bug #76990.

2005-11-13  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * doc.cs : ref/out parameters are represented as '@' (instead of
          '&' in type FullName). Fixed bug #76630 (additionally crefs).

2005-11-13  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * doc.cs : when there was no '.' in cref to methods in doc comment,
          then parameters were missing in the output. Fixed bug #76691.

2005-11-13  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs : don't output docs when there is an error.
          Fixed bug #76693.

2005-11-13  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * doc.cs :
          Now it should detect indexers. Fixed primary concern in bug #76685.
          Fixed CS0419 message to not show the identical member signature in
          the message.

2005-11-13  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * doc.cs : (FindDocumentedMember) use TypeManager.MemberLookup()
          instead of Type.FindMembers() since it does not handle events.
          Fixed bug #71604.

2005-11-12  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * codegen.cs: Fixed typo (speficied -> specified).

2005-11-11  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        Fix #76369.
        * doc.cs (FindDocumentedTypeNonArray): Don't resolve again.

2005-11-11  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * attribute.cs: Changed error message.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: One more check.

2005-11-10  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * statement.cs (Block.Resolve): Ignore empty statement.

2005-11-10  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * report.cs: Made error/warning methods more strict to avoid
        their misuse.

        * anonymous.cs, attribute.cs, class.cs, codegen.cs, constant.cs,
        convert.cs, cs-parser.jay, cs-tokenizer.cs, decl.cs, delegate.cs,

        (Constructor.Define): Create proper ctor for ComImport types.

        * expression.cs (New.CheckComImport): Fixed.

2005-11-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * anonymous.cs (CaptureContext.AddParameterToContext): The fact
        that a parameter has been captured does not mean that we do not
        have to do the rest of the processing.  This fixes the second part
        of #76592.  If there was another anonymous method capturing
        values in the past, the Scope would never be set for the second
        method that captured the same parameter.

        (CaptureContext.EmitAssignParameter): When `leave_copy' is passed,
        properly manipulate the stack.   Second part of fix for #76592.

        * expression.cs (New): Add support for invoking "new" on
        interfaces that have been flagged with the ComImport attribute and
        the CoClass.  Fixes #76637 

        * statement.cs (Try.DoEmit): When a variable is captured, do not
        try to emit the vi.LocalBuilder variable as it has been captured.
        Create a temporary variable and store the results on the
        FieldBuilder.  Fixes #76642

2005-11-07  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * class.cs (CheckPairedOperators): Made compilable with csc 2.0.

        * ecore.cs (InstanceResolve): Fixed CS1540 detection.

2005-11-04  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * expression.cs (ElementAccess.DoResolveLValue): Fixed buffer
        access has to be fixed.
        
        * typemanager.cs (IsUnmanagedType): Wrong common field type.

2005-11-01  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        Fix #76590.
        * ecore.cs (NullCast.Reduce): Implemented.

        * expression.cs (ArrayCreation.CheckIndices): Correcly check
        constant type.
        
        * statement.cs (SwitchLabel.ResolveAndReduce): Catch null
        properly.
        (Foreach.Resolve): Catch null properly.

2005-10-29  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>
 
        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Warning text fix.

        * driver.cs: AllWarningNumbers exposed on public interface.

        * report.cs (): Reviewed warning numbers.
        (IsValidWarning): Use binary search.

2005-10-29  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>
 
        * driver.cs: Implemeted resource visibility.
        (Resources): New class for code sharing between /res: and
        /linkres:
 
2005-10-28  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        Fix #76568.
        * cfold.cs (ConstantFold.BinaryFold): Implemented null cast
        folding.
        
        * convert (Convert.ImplicitReferenceConversion): NullCast holds
        contants only.
        
        * ecore.cs (NullCast): Child is contant only.
        
        * literal.cs (NullLiteral.Reduce): null can be converted to any
        reference type.

2005-10-28  Kornél Pál  <kornelpal@hotmail.com>

        * driver.cs: Use Encoding.Default as default code page instead
          of ISO-28591.

2005-10-27  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #76085.
        * expression.cs (Invocation.Error_InvalidArguments): Handle
        __arglist parameters.
        (Invocation.VerifyArgumentsCompat): Likewise.
        * support.cs (ReflectionParameters.GetSignatureForError): Print
        __arglist parameters.
        (InternalParamters.GetSignatureForError): Likewise.
        * parameter.cs (Parameters.GetSignatureForError): Likewise.

2005-10-26  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * attribute.cs (GetPropertyValue): Made public.

        Resolve.

        is not defined.
        
        * driver.cs: Reflect method name change.
        
        * statement.cs (Try.Resolve): Warn when try has both general
        exception handlers.

        Fix #76419.
        * pending.cs (InterfaceMethod): Allow tm.args [i] to be null --
        treat it as an empty parameter list.

2005-10-26  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #76271.

        ResolveAsTypeStep silent.
        * statement.cs (Block.AddConstant): Mark block as used.
        (Block.ResolveMeta): Avoid piling on error messages
        if a constant initializer resolution fails.

2005-10-25  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

2005-10-23  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@gmail.com>

        cached_namespaces.  Improve usage.
        (RootNamespace.Reset, RootNamespace.RegisterNamespace)

2005-10-23  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        convetsion rules in enum context.

2005-10-19  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        Add support for extern alias qualifiers.
        * typemanager.cs: Move some LookupTypeReflection code
        to namespace.cs, to have cleaner code. Added some methods
        to help us keep track of the extern aliased references.

        line and check for their warnings/errors. Also keep track of the
        extern aliased assemblies.
        * namespace.cs: Move the global functionality of Namespace
        to GlobalRootNamespace/RootNamespace. Now the global namespace
        is GlobalRootNamespace.Globa. Also the code moved from 
        typemanager.cs lives in GlobalRootNames.cs/RootNamespace.cs. 
        Finally added LocalAliasEntry (AliasEntry before) and
        ExternAliasEntry, to handle alias statements.
        * cs-parser.jay: Add support in the grammar for extern alias
        statement.
        * doc.cs, delegate.cs, expression.cs ecore.cs, symbolwriter.cs: 
        Update callings to Namespace (now in GlobalRootNamespace).

        buffered data.

2005-09-28  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * support.cs (SeekableStreamReader): Simplify drastically.  Don't
        try to keep in sync with the byte count of the underlying Stream.
        However, this limits us to a window size of 2048 characters: i.e.,
        the maximum lookahead of our lexer/parser can be 2048 characters.

2005-09-28  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        Fix #76255.
        * driver.cs: Fix compilation files with full root path.

2005-09-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

2005-09-26  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #76133.
        * expression.cs (This.VerifyFixed): In a value type T, the type of
        'this' is T&, iow, 'this' is either an out or ref parameter.  In a
        value type R, 'this' is treated as a value parameter.

2005-09-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * statement.cs (Lock): Use the TemporaryVariable class instead of
        manually using local variables as those do not work when variables
        are captured.

        * ecore.cs: Moved the TemporaryVariable class from being a nested
        class inside Foreach to be a public class that can be employed in
        other places. 

2005-09-19  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * cs-parser.jay: interface_accessors replaced by
        accessor_declarations.

2005-09-18  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * driver.cs: Set InEmacs based on the environment variable EMACS. 

        * location.cs (InEmacs): in this mode, do not report column
        location as it confuses Emacs.

2005-09-16  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * cfold.cs, constant.cs, convert.cs, ecore.cs,

        * cs-parser.jay: Some location fixes.
        
        * ecore.cs (Expression.Location): Made virtual.

2005-09-05  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * expression.cs (Cast.TryReduce): Only reduce to an EnumConstant
        if the underlying types are the same, otherwise we need to produce
        code that will do the proper cast.

        This was exposed by Marek's constant rewrite which produced
        invalid code for the call site:

        enum X : long { a }
        void Method (X v) {}

        Method ((X) 5)

        This fixes test-49.cs

2005-09-05  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs : (Attribute.IsValidArgumentType): array of string/
          Type/Object should be allowed as well. Fixed bug #75968.

2005-09-05  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs : (Binary.DoResolve): when one is enum constant and
          another is constant 0, then return enum one *as enum type*.
          Fixed bug 74846.

2005-09-02  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * attribute.cs (GetMarshal): Work even if "DefineCustom" is
        internal.

        Fix #75941.
        * ecore.cs (SimpleNameResolve.DoSimpleNameResolve): Disable
        flow-branching for LocalVariableReferences in case we were invoked
        from a MemberAccess.

        Carved out of ...
        (LocalVariableReference.DoResolveBase): ... this.
        (MemberAccess.Resolve): Do the check that was disabled during
        SimpleNameResolve.

2005-09-01  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * class.cs :
          (PartialContainer.Create): check abstract/sealed/static strictly
          but abstract/sealed can exist only at one side. Fixed bug #75883.

2005-09-01  Kornél Pál  <kornelpal@hotmail.com>

        Fix #75945.
        * attribute.cs (Attribute.GetMarshal): If ArraySubType is not
        specified, don't default to UnmanagedType.I4.

2005-09-01  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs : conditional operator should check possibly
          incorrect assign expression. Fixed bug #75946.

2005-08-31  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs, cs-parser.jay, driver.cs, support.cs :
          Reverting the change. gmcs is much complex than mcs on this matter.

2005-08-31  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs : To read another token ahead of the actual 
          consumption, use new SavedToken and cache token instead of moving
          back the stream with SeekableStreamReader (it seemed problematic).
        * cs-parser.jay,
          driver.cs : Thus use StreamReader directly.
        * support.cs : Thus removed SeekableStreamReader.

2005-08-30  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #75934.
        * anonymous.cs (ScopeInfo.MakeFieldName): New helper.

        names of captured locals.

        Fix #75929.
        * ecore.cs (BoxedCast.BoxedCast) [1-argument variant]: Remove.
        * convert.cs (ImplicitReferenceConversion, TryImplicitIntConversion):
        Pass 'target_type' to BoxedCast.  Don't default to 'object'.
        (ExplicitConversion): Remove enum cases already handled by
        implicit conversion.  Move implicit conversion check to the beginning.
        * delegate.cs (DelegateCreation.ResolveMethodGroupExpr): Update.
        * expression.cs (ArrayCreation.EmitDynamicInitializers):
        Don't treat System.Enum as a struct.

2005-08-30  Jb Evain  <jbevain@gmail.com>

        * attribute.cs: handles as expression in parameters.

2005-08-30  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #75802.
        * class.cs (TypeContainer.VerifyClsName): Don't use a
        PartialContainer when verifying CLS compliance.
        (AbstractPropertyEventMethod): Set Parent here, ...
        (PropertyMethod): ... not here.

2005-08-30  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs : escaped attribute name should not be allowed to be
          resolved (e.g. @class as classAttribute). Fixed bug #75930.

2005-08-29  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #75927.

        detect where IsApplicable and VerifyArgumentsCompat disagree.

2005-08-29  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>
        and Carlos Alberto Cortez  <carlos@unixmexico.org>

        Fix #75848.
        * class.cs (TypeContainer.CanElideInitializer): New helper.
        (TypeContainer.EmitFieldInitializers): Use it to determine if we
        can safely emitting the initializer of a field.

2005-08-25  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs : (Continue.Resolve()) Unlike break, continue is not
          allowed inside a switch (without loop). Fixed bug #75433.

2005-08-26  Kornél Pál  <kornelpal@hotmail.com>

        * AssemblyInfo.cs: Using Consts.MonoVersion instead of MonoVersion.cs.
        * mcs.exe.sources: Using Consts.MonoVersion instead of MonoVersion.cs.

2005-08-25  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs : kinda reverting the default encoding changes (not exact 
          revert since I noticed that "codepage:reset" might not work fine).

2005-08-25  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * class.cs : (AbstractPropertyEventMethod) SetupName() now takes
          Location. Now getter and setter store location correctly.
          (errors/cs0111-12.cs now reports the expected location.)

2005-08-25  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs : Use default encoding on the environment.
          Removed (now that) extra parameter for SeekableStreamReader.
        * support.cs : (SeekableStreamReader) third .ctor() argument for
          StreamReader is not required (always true). preamble size could
          be acquired in simpler and safe way.

2005-08-24  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: report CS0642 at warning level 3
          and report CS0642 for an if else statement also
          fixes bug #74745. Patch by John Luke (and a bit
          modified by me).
          Removed extra CS0642 warning check for "while",
          "for" and "fixed".
        * statement.cs: In Block.Resolve(), CS0642 check
          is reimplemented to check a sequence of an empty
          statement and a block.

          Both fix bug #66777.

        * codegen.cs,
          ecore.cs,
          flowanalysis.cs,
          expression.cs:
          Added OmitStructFlowAnalysis to EmitContext to handle CS0165 check
          correctly. Fixed bug #75721.

2005-08-23  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * support.cs (SeekableStreamReader.Position): Avoid an expensive
        loop that performs 'min (pos, char_count)'.

        Fix #75862.
        * expression.cs (Unary.ResolveOperator): Don't discard implicit
        converted value in Operator.OnesComplement.

2005-08-22  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * anonymous.cs: If the anon method is pulled into a helper class,
        it needs to be `internal' not `private'. Fixes runtime behavior on
        msft. bug #75704

2005-08-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * anonymous.cs (CaptureContext.CaptureThis): Create the topmost
        scope if we don't already have it.

        * expression.cs (Invocation.EmitCall): Use `ec.EmitThis ()' rather
        than `ig.Emit (OpCodes.Ldarg_0)' to make it work inside iterators;
        fixes #75867.

2005-08-17  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        Fix #75803

        * location.cs : tiny ToString() format fix.

2005-08-02  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs : oops, it was missing.

2005-08-02  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        A set of fixes for precise line/column location.

        * location.cs :
          "token" field now holds a file/line "delta", a line number offset 
          from the segment, and a column number. See also:
          http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/mono-devel-list/2004-
          December/009508.html
          Removed static IsNull. Use instance IsNull property instead.
        * cs-tokenizer.cs :
          For some tokens it stores Location. For Identifier it stores
          LocatedToken which is a pair of string name and location.
          Column numbers are adjusted only at getChar().
        * report.cs :
          Use Location.ToString() for reporting (it now contains column).
        * cs-parser.jay :
          Largely modified to use LocatedToken instead of
          string (IDENTIFIER), and to acquire Location from some tokens.
        * namespace.cs, decl.cs, ecore.cs, class.cs, delegate.cs,
          iterators.cs, const.cs, anonymous.cs, tree.cs, enum.cs,
          codegen.cs :
          Now MemberName holds Location. DeclSpace.ctor() receives Location
          as a parameter. Removed extra parameters to all derived classes.
          Replaced Location.IsNull() with instance property.
        * assign.cs, expression.cs :
          Added .ctor() overload that omits Location.
        * attribute.cs :
          Added "nameEscaped" flag that indicates the identifier was escaped
          in the source file. This fixes bug #57047.

2005-08-02  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * attribute.cs (AttributeTester.GetImportedIgnoreCaseClsType):
        New method, looking for lo-case imported cls type.

        * decl.cs (DeclSpace.VerifyClsCompliance): Check CS3005 for types
        here.

        (PropertyMethod.Define): Moved iterator setup here.
        
        * iterators.cs: Add orig_method to have full access to parent
        container.

2005-07-05  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Make 'fixed variable' handling standards compliant. Fix #70807, #72729.
        * ecore.cs (IVariable.VerifyFixed): Remove 'is_expression' parameter.
        (FieldExpr.VerifyFixed): Ensure that the field is part of a fixed
        variable of struct type.
        * expression.cs (Unary.ResolveOperator): Update to change.
        (Indirection.VerifyFixed): Likewise.
        (LocalVariableReference.VerifyFixed): A local variable is always fixed.
        (ParameterReference.VerifyFixed): Value parameters are fixed.
        (This.VerifyFixed): Treat 'this' as a value parameter.
        * statement.cs (LocalInfo.IsFixed): Remove.

2005-07-01  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * iterators.cs (Iterator.CapturedThisReference.Emit): Use
        `ec.EmitThis ()' to get the correct scope.

2005-07-01  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (FieldExpr.DoResolve): Don't capture the field if it's
        instance is a ParameterReference; fixes #75299.

2005-07-01  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        Reverted Marek's latest patch (r46725):
        - it contains structural changes which are neither mentioned in
          the ChangeLog nor explained anywhere; for example the additional
          argument of EmitContext's and Iterator's .ctor's and the
          TypeContainer.DefineMembers() change.
        - structural changes like this should go in in seperate patches
          and not be hidden in a huge patch which just seems to affect
          warnings and errors.
          a big and hard to understand patch.
        - it breaks iterators and causes regressions, for instance in
          test-iter-03.cs.      

2005-06-30  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #75412.
        * expression.cs (Indexers.map): Remove.

        (IndexerAccess.DoResolve, IndexerAccess.DoResolveLValue): Update.

        Fix #75283.
        * ecore.cs (MemberExpr.EmitInstance): New.  Add CS0120 check.
        Refactored from ...
        (FieldExpr.EmitInstance, PropertyExpr.EmitInstance): ... these.
        (FieldExpr.Emit, PropertyExpr.Emit): Update.
        (FieldExpr.EmitAssign, PropertyExpr.EmitAssign): Update.
        * expression.cs (Invocation.EmitCall): Add CS0120 check.

2005-06-30  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        Fix #75322
        * class.cs (FieldBase.GetInitializerExpression): One more field
        for backup.

2005-06-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * pending.cs: Do not define a proxy if the base method is virtual,
        it will be picked up by the runtime (bug 75270).

2005-06-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        The big Iterators rewrite :-)

        * iterators.cs: Rewrite this to use the anonymous methods framework.

        * rootcontext.cs (RootContext.DefineTypes): Define Delegates
        before the TypeContainers; see 2test-21.cs.

        * class.cs
        (TypeContainer.DefineType): Don't create a new EmitContext if we
        already have one (this only happens if we're an Iterator).
        (TypeContainer.Define): Also call Define() on all our iterators.
        (Method.CreateEmitContext): Added support for iterators.

        * anonymous.cs
        (AnonymousContainer): New abstract base class for `AnonymousMethod'.
        (AnonymousContainer.CreateMethodHost): Moved here from
        AnonymousMethod and made abstract.
        (AnonymousContainer.CreateScopeType): New abstract method.
        (AnonymousContainer.IsIterator): New public property.
        (ScopeInfo.EmitScopeType): Call CreateScopeType() on our Host to
        get the ScopeTypeBuilder rather than manually defining it here. 
        (ScopeInfo.EmitScopeInstance): New public method; correctly handle
        iterators here.

        * driver.cs (Driver.MainDriver): Call TypeManager.InitCodeHelpers()
        before RootContext.DefineTypes().

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.RemapToProxy): Removed.
        (EmitContext.CurrentAnonymousMethod): Changed type from
        AnonymousMethod -> AnonymousContainer.
        (EmitContext.ResolveTopBlock): Protect from being called twice.
        (EmitContext.MapVariable, RemapParameter(LValue)): Removed.
        (EmitContext.EmitThis): Removed the iterators hacks; use the
        anonymous methods framework for that.

        * statement.cs
        (ToplevelBlock.Container): Make this a property, not a field.
        (ToplevelBlock.ReParent): New public method; move the
        ToplevelBlock into a new container.
        (Foreach.TemporaryVariable): Simplify.

2005-06-05  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (LocalInfo.CompilerGenerated): New flag.
        (Block.AddTemporaryVariable): New public method; creates a new
        `LocalInfo' for a temporary variable.
        (Block.EmitMeta): Create the LocalBuilders for all the temporary
        variables here.
        (Foreach.TemporaryVariable): Use Block.AddTemporaryVariable() for
        non-iterator variables.

2005-06-05  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Foreach.TemporaryVariable): Create the
        LocalBuilder in the Emit phase and not in Resolve since in some
        situations, we don't have an ILGenerator during Resolve; see
        2test-19.cs for an example.

2005-06-04  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        **** Merged r45395 from GCS ****

        The big Foreach rewrite - Part II.

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.object_getcurrent_void): Replaced
        with `PropertyInfo ienumerator_getcurrent'.

        * codegen.cs (VariableStorage): Removed.

        * statement.cs
        (Foreach): Derive from Statement, not ExceptionStatement.
        (Foreach.CollectionForeach): New nested class.  Moved all the code
        dealing with collection foreach here.

2005-05-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Try.DoResolve): Don't create a `finally' if we
        don't need to.  Fix #75014.

        Merged r44808 from GMCS.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.CircularDepException): Removed.
        (TypeContainer.DefineType): Removed the `InTransit' stuff.
        (TypeContainer.CheckRecursiveDefinition): Check for circular class
        (CS0146) and interface (CS0529) dependencies here.

2005-06-21  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * expression.cs (Invocation.EmitCall): Fix initialization
        'this_call' to reflect current behaviour.  Fix indentation.

        * convert.cs (FindMostEncompassedType): Add two trivial special
        cases (number_of_types == 0 || number_of_types == 1).
        (FindMostEncompasingType): Likewise.

2005-06-17  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (process_directives): New flag for controlling
        the processing of preprocessor directives.
        (x_token): After seeing a '#', return Token.NONE instead of going
        to handle_preprocessing_directive() when not processing
        directives. This avoids unnecessary processing during the token peek in
        is_punct().

        This fixes #74939.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (handle_preprocessing_directive, xtoken): Use
        the existing error reporting methods instead of Report.Error.

        * convert.cs (priv_fmt_expr): Remove. It's not needed anymore
        after Raja's rewrite.

2005-06-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * class.cs: Small fix.

2005-06-07  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Ensure that partial classes are registered in their enclosing
        namespace.  Initial part of fix of #75160.
        * tree.cs (Tree.RecordDecl): Add new namespace argument.
        Register declspace with namespace here, not in
        DeclSpace.RecordDecl.
        * cs-parser.jay: Pass namespace to RecordDecl.
        * class.cs (PartialContainer.Create): Likewise.

        * ecore.cs (Expression.ExprClassToResolveFlags): New.  Broken out
        of ...
        (Expression.Resolve): ... this.  Use it.  Remove bogus code
        allowing ExprClass.Type and ExprClass.Namespace for
        ResolveFlags.VariableOrValue.
        (Expression.Resolve) [1-argument variant]: Change default resolve
        flags based on language version.
        (Expression.Error_UnexpectedKind): Use a simple string array
        rather than an ArrayList.
        * expression.cs (TypeOf.DoResolve): Set eclass to ExprClass.Value,
        not ExprClass.Type.
        (TypeOfVoid.DoResolve): Likewise.
        (MemberAccess.DoResolve) [3-argument variant]: Make private.  Drop
        flags argument -- it always has the same value.

2005-05-31  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #75081.
        * ecore.cs (Expression.ResolveLValue): Add a Location parameter.

        the "almostMatchedMember" case too.
        * typemanager.cs (Closure.CheckValidFamilyAccess): Add anything
        that failed the accessibility checks to 'almost_match'.

2005-05-27  Vladimir Vukicevic  <vladimir@pobox.com>

        * attribute.cs: Use internal MethodBuilder methods to set
        ExactSpelling and SetLastError on PInvoke methods, instead
        of passing them via charset.  Fixes #75060.

2005-05-27  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * parameter.cs (Parameter): Remove TODO comment.
        (Parameter.DefineParameter): Remove Location parameter.
        (Parameters.LabelParameters): Likewise.
        * class.cs (Constructor.Emit): Update to change.
        (MethodData.Emit): Likewise.

        * delegate.cs (Delegate.Define, Delegate.Emit): Likewise.

2005-05-27  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * parameter.cs,
          Removed Parameters.Location and added Parameter.Location instead.
          Removed Location parameter from Emit() and GetSignature().
        * anonymous.cs,
          class.cs,
          cs-parser.jay,
          delegate.cs,
          iterators.cs,

        Improve user-defined conversion handling.
        * convert.cs (GetConversionOperators): Rewrite.  Return only the
        applicable operators.
        (AddConversionOperators): New.  Helper for GetConversionOperators.
        (FindMostEncompassedType, FindMostEncompassingType): Verify that
        there is only one most encompassed/encompassing type.
        (FindMostSpecificSource, FindMostSpecificTarget): Remove
        "applicable operator" handling.
        (UserConversion): Move cache here from GetConversionOperators.
        Directly cache the chosen operator, rather than the whole
        MethodGroup.
        (ExplicitNumericConversion): Fix buggy implementation of Decimal
        case.  Allow conversion of decimal to sbyte and byte too.
        * expression.cs (EmptyExpression.Grab, EmptyExpression.Release):
        New static methods.  Used to avoid allocating EmptyExpressions in
        convert.cs.

2005-05-24  Duncan Mak  <duncan@novell.com>

        * ecore.cs (CastFromDecimal): New class for casting a decimal to
        another class, used in Convert.ExplicitNumericConversion.
        (CastToDecimal): New class, similar to above, but casts to
        System.Decimal, used in Convert.ImplicitNumericConversion and also
        in explicit convesion from double/float to decimal.

        * convert.cs (ImplicitNumericConversion): Handle implicit
        conversions to System.Decimal.
        (ExplicitNumericConversion): handle explicit conversions to
        System.Decimal.

        This fixes #68711.
        
2005-05-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * typemanager.cs (EnumToUnderlying): Do not throw if we do not
        know the type at this stage, just break through.   Fixes #75008 

2005-05-19  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * delegate.cs
        (ImplicitDelegateCreation.Check): Added `bool check_only' argument
        to disable error reporting.

        * convert.cs (Convert.ImplicitStandardConversionExists): Use it
        here since we don't want to report an error; see the new test-336.cs.

2005-05-19  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * statement.cs (ToplevelBlock.GetParameterReference)
        (ToplevelBlock.IsParameterReference,ToplevelBlock.IsLocalParameter):

        reachability, not just locals and parameters.
        (FlowBranching.MergeChild): Remove some of the hacks for loop and
        switch; MergeBreakOrigins() now takes care of that.

2005-05-18  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * flowanalysis.cs (FlowBranching.UsageVector.MergeChild): If we're
        a loop and may leave it, reset the barrier; fixes #74974.

2005-05-17  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>
        
        * attribute.cs (Attribute.ResolveArguments): GuidAttribute check

        PartialContainer.
        * const.cs (Const.Const): Pass initializer to base class.
        (Const.Define): In case of decimal constants, register them for
        initialization in a static constructor.

2005-05-14  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Block.Resolve): Correctly handle unreachable code;
        do not call ResolveUnreachable() on unreachable statements in
        here, see the comment in the source code.

2005-05-13  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #74934.

        an equality comparison is 'null' and the other is a pointer type,
        convert the null to a NullPointer.
        * convert.cs (ImplicitReferenceConversion): If the expression is a
        NullLiteral and the target type is a pointer type, return a
        NullPointer instead.
        (ImplicitConversionStandard): Likewise.

2005-05-13  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        occurred.
        
        * statement.cs (LocalInfo): Add reaodnly context information.

2005-05-13  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * statement.cs (Block.Resolve): Revert change below.  Modify fix
        for #74041 to initialize 'resolved' to false only for explicit
        blocks.  Fixes #74873.

2005-05-12  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@gmail.com>

        Fix #74920.
        * typemanager.cs (unmanaged_enclosing_types): New.

        * statement.cs (Block.Resolve): Make the `bool unresolved' flag an
        instance variable, not a local.  Fix #74873.
        (Block.ResolveUnreachable): Set it to true here.

2005-05-11  Duncan Mak  <duncan@novell.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (get_cmd_arg): Check that 'c' is not -1 before
        continuing to process for 'arg'.
        (handle_preprocessing_directive): Check the argument of the #endif
        directive and report error CS1025 if there are any trailing
        characters.

        According to the C# spec, having even whitespace after the #endif
        directive is illegal; however, because we call arg.TrimEnd ()
        beforehand, we have the same behavior as csc, allowing whitespace
        after the directive.

        Fixes #74892.

2005-05-11  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        Fix #74863.

        `Parameter.Modifier.REF' if we both have `ParameterAttributes.Out'
        and `ParameterAttributes.In'.  Fixes #74884.

2005-05-10  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * class.cs (Method.Define): Catch attempt for Finalizer declaration.
        
        * expression.cs (Argument.GetParameterModifier): Turned to property.

        Fix reopened #64812.
        * typemanager.cs (Closure.Filter): Introduce checks for 'protected

        Fix #74655.

        * statement.cs (Switch.SimpleSwitchEmit): Always emit the default
        section at the end; make things work if `default' is not the last
        section.        

2005-05-04  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        Fix #70400.

        * statement.cs (Switch): Replaced the `got_default' field with a
        `default_section' one.
        (Switch.CheckSwitch): Set `default_section' here.
        (Switch.Resolve): If we're a constant switch and the constant is
        not found, use the default section.

2005-05-03  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (ArrayAccess.EmitGetLength): New public method.

        * statement.cs (Foreach.ArrayForeach): New nested class.
        (Foreach.TemporaryVariable): New nested class.

2005-05-03  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * decl.cs (MemberCache.AddMethod): Register "non-override" methods

        * expression.cs (Invocation.OverloadResolve): Use
        TypeManager.IsOverride to distinguish override methods.

        Fix #74773.
        * pending.cs (VerifyPendingMethods): If a base type implements the
        requested interface, don't bother checking individual methods of
        the base type.  As a side-effect, this prevents the creation of
        unnecessary proxies.

2005-05-02  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        Fix #70182.

        * flowanalysis.cs (FlowBranching.UsageVector.MergeJumpOrigins):
        Also `And' the locals if the old vector is null.
        (FlowBranching.UsageVector.BitVector.And): Allow `vector' being
        null; in this case we basically reset all the variables.        

2005-05-02  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        Fix #74529.

        * flowanalysis.cs (FlowBranching.UsageVector.MergeBreakOrigins):

        infinite.

        * class.cs (ConstructorInitializer.Resolve): Added `Block block'
        arguments; use it instead of creating a new TopLevelBlock.
        (Constructor.Emit): Call `block.ResolveMeta ()' before resolving
        our ConstructorInitializer.

        * statement.cs
        (TopLevelBlock.TopLevelBranching): New public property.
        (TopLevelBlock.ResolveMeta): New public method; call ResolveMeta()
        and create our `TopLevelBranching'.

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.ResolveTopBlock): If we're not an
        anonymous method host, use `block.TopLevelBranching' rather than
        creating a new branching.

2005-04-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * anonymous.cs (ScopeInfo.AddChild): when adding a new child to
        a ScopeInfo, if any of the current children is a child of the new
        entry, move those children there.

2005-04-30  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Switch.SimpleSwitchEmit): Reset `default_at_end'

        * codegen.cs (InRefOutArgumentResolving): New field.
        
        * ecore.cs (FieldExpr.DoResolve): Check for assigning to readonly

2005-04-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * anonymous.cs (CaptureContext.EmitParameterInstance): The
        parameter code was not completed ever, so it was not as up-to-date
        as local variables.  Must finish it.

        The bug fix was to compare the Toplevel of the block, not the
        current block.  Thanks for Ben for pointing this out. 

2005-04-19  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * decl.cs (AddMethods): Use the declaring type of the problem

        exit.
        (Class.DefineType): Throw exception when is in Transit.
        Catch exception and report error.
        (Struct.DefineType): Throw exception when is in Transit.

          for the same event member, so exclude such cases from warning 419.
          Fixed bug #74633.

2005-04-16  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): Apply patch from John
        Luke to fix bug 59864: operators &, | and ^ on enumerations
        require that the same enum type on both sides.

        * driver.cs: Add warnings to old flag usage, this is to assist
        people who produce Makefiles and hope that the Makefiles will be
        used on Windows.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.EmitType): Moved the definition of the
        special $PRIVATE$ field from the resolve phase to the Emit phase.
        During resolve we do not know if we are a struct with
        HasExplicitLayout, we know this only after the attributes for the
        type are emitted.

        Set the FieldOffset to zero on the dummy field that we create for
        the class.   Fixes 74590.

2005-04-16  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        resolution by storing the results of expression resolution back
        into the "probes" array.

2005-04-15  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix cs0208-7.cs and cs0208-8.cs.
        * typemanager.cs (IsUnmanagedType): Arrays are not allowed
        (cf. ECMA standard, behaviour of CSC 1.1 and CSC 2.0).  Improve
        error reporting to point out the reason a struct is not unmanaged.

2005-04-13  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * doc.cs : In FindDocumentedType(), avoid TypeExpr.ResolveType() and 
          just use TypeExpr.Type. This fixes bug #74595 when merged to gmcs.

        * driver.cs (Driver.MainDriver): Call Module.ResolveAttributes

2005-04-13  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * doc.cs : delegates must not be referenced with parameters.
          Fixed bug #71605.

2005-04-09  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * class.cs: Reduce code paths to test, too small of an
        optimization to make it worth the extra testing.  Always perform
        it. 

2005-04-08  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #74510.

        * attribute.cs: Fix the union of several permissions when some of them
        are unrestricted (so the result isn't an unrestricted permission set).

        Fix #74060.
        * expression.cs (MemberAccess.ResolveMemberAccess): Allow the

        * typemanager.cs (TypeHandle.BaseType): Make into an IMemberContainer.
        (TypeHandle.TypeHandle): Use LookupMemberCache rather than
        GetTypeHandle.  It is possible for a reflected type to derive from
        a TypeBuilder (e.g., int[] derives from the TypeBuilder
        System.Array during mscorlib compilation).
        * decl.cs (MemberCache.MemberCache): If the base cache doesn't
        contain a method_hash, don't create one either.  Don't create a
        deep copy of the base cache's method_hash.
        (MemberCache.SetupCache): Rename back from DeepCopy.
        (MemberCache.AddMethods): Rewrite, now that method_hash isn't
        already initialized.  If we see an override function, add its
        underlying base virtual function to the member_hash too.

        * enum.cs (Enum.LookupEnumValue): Remove debugging code.

        Likewise.
        * decl.cs (MemberName.Name): Make readonly.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.AddToMemberContainer): Don't add the
        fully qualified name of the container to the member name.

        MemberName.Left rather than searching for an embedded ".".
        (PartialContainer.CreatePart): Update to changes in RootContext.

        from `Modifiers.INTERNAL' to `Modifiers.PRIVATE'.  Fixes #73260.

2005-03-17  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * anonymous.cs (AnonymousMethod.EmitMethod): Changed return type

        * namespace.cs (Namespace.cached_types): New.  Cache of reflected
        top-level types.

2004-03-10  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * doc.cs : When TypeBuilder did not create Type yet, GetEvents() will

        * decl.cs (DeclSpace.LookupType): Don't loop but recurse into
        enclosing DeclSpace.  This ensures that a name-lookup populates
        more caches and there are fewer 'TypeExpression's.  Carve out
        nested type lookup into ...
        (LookupNestedTypeInHierarchy): ... this.

2005-03-09  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        up the 'current_class' and 'current_container', and pointing them
        to the enclosing class/container.
        (CSharpParser): Initialize 'current_class' too.
        * decl.cs (MemberCore): Add check for invariant: a partial

        (DeclSpace.BaseTypeExpr): Use it.
        (DeclSpace.LookupType): Add check for invariant.

        MemberCore.
        (TypeContainer.Register): Remove.

        ...
        (TypeContainer.DefineNestedTypes): ... here.
        (PartialContainer): Take a Namespace not a NamespaceEntry.
        (PartialContainer.Create): Don't use Register.  Call the
        appropriate Add... function directly.

        class as constructor arguments.
        (ClassPart.EmitFieldInitializers): Override.
        (ClassPart.PartFindNestedTypes): Remove.
        (FieldBase.GetInitializerExpression): Resolve the initializer

        (SimpleName.DoSimpleNameResolve): Remove 'allow_static' argument.
        Pass 'intermediate' flag to MemberStaticCheck.
        (SimpleName.MemberStaticCheck): Skip "static check" only in case
        of "intermediate" lookups via MemberAccess.

        (Expression.ResolveLValue): Emit CS0131 error if DoResolveLValue

        Fix #71992.
        * namespace.cs (NamespaceEntry.LookupNamespaceOrType): Add

        during candidate selection.  Store them in a lookaside list.
        If the selected method is a 'virtual' function, use the list to
        find any overrides that are closer to the LHS type.

2005-02-14  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

2005-02-11  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext): Introduce the `MethodIsStatic'
        variable.  This one is represents the actual low-level declaration
        of the method, as opposed to the semantic level `IsStatic'.   

        An anonymous method which is hosted into a static method might be
        actually an instance method.  IsStatic would reflect the
        container, while MethodIsStatic represents the actual code
        generated.

        * expression.cs (ParameterReference): Use the new MethodIsStatic
        instead of IsStatic.

        * anonymous.cs (AnonymousMethod.Compatible): Pass the
        Modifiers.STATIC to the Anonymous' Method EmitContext if static is
        set on the current EmitContext. 

        * expression.cs (Cast): Overload DoResolveLValue so we can pass
        resolve our casted expression as an LValue.  This triggers the
        proper LValue processing that is later required by Assign.

        This fixes 72347.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (pp_and): recurse on pp_and, fixes #61903.

2005-02-11  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        (ArrayPtr.Emit): Add extra emit for array elements.

        * flowanalysis.cs.cs (StructInfo): Use FieldMember.

        * rootcontext.cs (CloseTypes): Emit CompilerGenerated attribute
        for compiler generated types.
        (RegisterCompilerGeneratedType): Renamed from RegisterHelperClass.

        * statement.cs (Fixed): Refactored to be easier add fixed buffer
        and consume less memory.
        (Fixed.Resolve): Add fixed buffer case.

2005-02-11  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * anonymous.cs (CaptureContext): Track whether `this' has been
        referenced.   

        * expression.cs (This.ResolveBase): Call CaptureThis.  Before we
        only captured `this' if it was implicitly done (instance
        methods/variables were used). 

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.CaptureThis): New method to flag that
        `this' must be captured.

2005-01-30  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>
 
        * anonymous.cs (CreateMethodHost): If there Scope.ScopeTypeBuilder
        is null it means that there has been no need to capture anything,
        so we just create a sibling.

        Renamed `EmitHelperClasses' to `EmitAnonymousHelperClasses'

        Just a partial fix.  The other half is fairly elusive.
        
2005-02-10  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #52586, cs0121-4.cs.
        * decl.cs (MemberCache.DeepCopy): Rename from SetupCache.  Take
        and return a hashtable.
        (MemberCache.ClearDeclaredOnly): New.
        (MemberCache.MemberCache): Update to change.  Make a deep copy of
        the method_hash of a base type too.
        (MemberCache.AddMethods): Adapt to having a deep copy of the base
        type methods.  Overwrite entries with the same MethodHandle so
        that the ReflectedType is correct.  The process leaves in base
        virtual functions and their overrides as distinct entries.
        (CacheEntry): Now a class instead of a struct.  It shouldn't alter
        matters since it was boxed in a ArrayList before.

        * cs-parser.jay: destructor_declaration's container is PartialContainer
        not Class when partial types are used, so use Kind prop instead of
        'is'.

        somewhat.

2005-01-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        code with ImplicitStandardConversion to handle the implicit
        conversion of method groups into valid delegate invocations.

        path.  Fixes bug #64698

2005-01-19  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Fix several infelicities.
        - Avoid assigning to the parser value stack.  Code like 
          '$3 = null' is unclean.  Synthesize a value for the code block
          instead. 
        - Avoid using oob_stack for storing location information.  Use ...
        (_mark_): ... this.  New (empty) rule.  Saves the current location
        in $$.
        (foreach_statement): Avoid using oob_stack for current_block
        handling.  Use technique used in for_statement and
        using_statement.  Synthesize a value for the code block to store
        additional intermediate information.

2005-01-13  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

2005-01-06  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (xtoken): Redo the work for signaling CS1040
        because the previous change led to incorrect reporting of CS1032
        ("Cannot define/undefine preprocessor symbols after first token in
        file"). Instead of using `tokens_seen' as the only flag that
        triggers CS1040, introduce `comments_seen'. This new flag is used
        to signify having seen comments on the current line, so it is
        unset after a newline.

2005-01-06  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * doc.cs : When searching for a type, find nested type too.

            Fixed bug #71042.

2005-01-06  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (xtoken): After handling traditional C-style
        comments, set `tokens_seen' to true. This allows us to detect
        misplaced preprocessor directives (i.e. not at the beginning of
        the a line, nor after whitespaces). In that case, report error
        CS1040. This fixes bug #56460.

        * cs-parser.jay (interface_member_declaration): Add checks for
        IsExplicitImpl, and report CS0541 error if an interface member is
        defined as an explicit interface declaration.

        if field.FieldBuilder is null. Fixes #70758.

        * convert.cs: Fixed some typos and updated some of the comments.
        (ImplicitStandardConversionExists):
        (TryImplicitIntConversion): If `target_type' is an interface and
        the type of `ic' implements this interface, return true or a new
        BoxedCast instead of null. This fixes #70468.

2004-12-29  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Argument.Emit): Check that Expr is
        IMemoryLocation before casting to it, and report CS1510 otherwise.

          rootcontext.cs, typemanager.cs: Make nomenclature consistent.

2004-12-17  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * codegen.cs (CommonAssemblyModulClass.GetClsCompliantAttribute):

        * attribute.cs (GlobalAttribute.CheckAttributeType): Reset

2004-12-15  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * cs-parser.jay: Don't create a block for every variable.

2004-12-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        find a conclusion.
        
        * class.cs: Changed warning level for 169 to avoid developer

        only.

2004-12-07  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay : handle doc comments on implicit/explicit operators.
          Some operator comments were suppressed.
        * doc.cs : Implicit/explicit operator name in doc comments are like
          "op_Explicit(type)~returnType", so added suffix handling.

2004-12-07  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * decl.cs

        the case where the NamespaceEntry gets overwritten.

2004-12-06  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

2004-12-05  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs: Distinguish between 1721 and 1722 (just a little help
        for the programmer).

2004-12-03  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * delegate.cs: Only allow this on new versions of the language. 

2004-12-02  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (PropertyExpr.IsAccessorAccessible): Moved to
        Expression class.
        (Expression.IsAccessorAccessible): Moved from the PropertyExpr to
        here as a static method. Take an additional bool out parameter
        `must_do_cs1540_check' for signaling to InstanceResolve.
        (PropertyExpr.InstanceResolve): Removed the `must_do_cs1540_check'
        member field from PropertyExpr class and made it an argument of
        the method instead.
        (EventExpr.InstanceResolve): Copied from PropertyExpr, removed the
        check for MarshalByRefObject, and report CS0122 instead of CS1540.
        (EventExpr.DoResolve): Call IsAccessorAccessible on `add_accessor'
        and `remove_accessor' as well as InstanceResolve: report CS0122
        where applicable.

        Fixes #70129.

2004-12-03  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix test-327.cs, test-328.cs, and put in early infrastructure
        for eventually fixing #52697.
        * namespace.cs (NamespaceEntry.LookupForUsing): New method.
        (NamespaceEntry.LookupNamespaceOrType): New method, refactored
        from other methods.
        (NamespaceEntry.Lookup): Remove 'ignore_using' flag.

        (VerifyUsing, error246): Update.
        * rootcontext.cs (RootContext.NamespaceLookup): Just use
        'NamespaceEntry.LookupNamespaceOrType'.

2004-12-03  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * delegate.cs (NewDelegate.DoResolve): If we have an anonymous
        method as our child, call AnonymousMethod.Compatible() on it.

2004-12-03  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Disable XML documentation support in 'basic' profile.
        * decl.cs, class.cs [BOOTSTRAP_WITH_OLDLIB]: Don't import System.Xml.
        Redirect XmlElement to System.Object.

2004-12-03  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs : Only '////' is rejected. Other non-whitespace
          comments are allowed.

2004-12-03  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * delegate.cs: Add checks for subtypes in paramaters and return values
        in VerifyMethod () to add support for Covariance/Contravariance
        in delegates.
        
2004-12-02  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * report.cs: Remove extra closing parenthesis.

        * convert.cs (Error_CannotImplicitConversion): If the name of the
        types are the same, provide some extra information.

        * class.cs (FieldBase): Use an unused bit field from the field to
        encode the `has_offset' property from the FieldMember.  This saves
        a couple of Ks on bootstrap compilation.

        * delegate.cs (NewDelegate.DoResolve): If we have an anonymous
        method as our child, return the AnonymousMethod resolved
        expression.

        * expression.cs (New.DoResolve): Allow return values from
        NewDelegate to also include AnonymousMethods.

        Fixes #70150.

2004-12-02  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        Fix bug #70102
        * attribute.cs (Resolve): Improved implementation of params
        attribute arguments.

        * support.cs (ParameterData): Add HasParams to be faster.

2004-12-02  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        all things are for /doc support:

        * doc.cs: new file that supports XML documentation generation.
        * mcs.exe.sources: added doc.cs.
        * driver.cs:
          Handle /doc command line option.
          Report error 2006 instead of 5 for missing file name for /doc.
          Generate XML documentation when required, after type resolution.
        * cs-tokenizer.cs:
          Added support for picking up documentation (/// and /** ... */),
          including a new XmlCommentState enumeration.
        * cs-parser.jay:
          Added lines to fill Documentation element for field, constant,
          property, indexer, method, constructor, destructor, operator, event
          and class, struct, interface, delegate, enum.
          Added lines to warn incorrect comment.
        * rootcontext.cs :
          Added Documentation field (passed only when /doc was specified).
        * decl.cs:
          Added DocComment, DocCommentHeader, GenerateDocComment() and
          OnGenerateDocComment() and some supporting private members for
          /doc feature to MemberCore.
        * class.cs:
          Added GenerateDocComment() on TypeContainer, MethodCore and Operator.
        * delegate.cs:
          Added overriden DocCommentHeader.

          Added overriden DocCommentHeader and GenerateDocComment().

2004-12-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cfold.cs (ConstantFold.DoConstantNumericPromotions): After
        unwrapping the enumeration values, chain to
        DoConstantNumericPromotions again, so we can promote things to the
        fundamental types (takes care of enums that are bytes, sbytes).

        Fixes bug #62054.

2004-12-01  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.CheckAttributeType): Remove complain flag.
        Fix long-standing bug in type-lookup.  Use FindType instead of
        LookupType when ec.ResolvingTypeTree.
        (Attribute.ResolveType, Attribute.Resolve)
        (Attribute.DefinePInvokeMethod,GlobalAttribute.CheckAttributeType):
        Update to changes.
        (Attributes.Search): Remove internal version.  Update.
        (Attributes.SearchMulti): Update.
        (Attributes.GetClsCompliantAttribute): Remove.
        (Attributes.GetIndexerNameAttribute): Remove.
        * decl.cs (MemberCore.GetClsCompliantAttributeValue): Update to changes.
        (DeclSpace.GetClsCompliantAttributeValue): Likewise.
        * class.cs (Indexer.Define): Likewise.

2004-12-01  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        Fix bug #68790
        * ecore.cs: CheckMarshallByRefAccess new virtual method for testing
        MarshallByReference members access.

        * expression.cs: Use CheckMarshallByRefAccess;
        Better error CS0197 message.

        * report.cs: Print whole related error message.

2004-11-30  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * Makefile (mcs.exe) [PROFILE=default]: Keep a copy of mcs.exe in
        the current directory to help debugging.

2004-11-29  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * class (GetClassBases): Better error 60 report.
        (EventProperty): Disabled warning 67 detection.

2004-11-29  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        Fix bug #60324
        * cfold.cs (Assign.DoResolve): Add subtraction for DecimalConstant.

        * constant.cs (DecimalConstant.Emit): Don't use int ctor for
        precise values.

2004-11-29  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        Fix bug #49488
        * assign.cs (Assign.DoResolve): Add error 1648, 1650 report.

        * decl.cs (MemberCore.MemberName): Error 1648 in compiler.

2004-11-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.Resolve): Refine error reporting and
        report a cs0117 if the identifier does not exist, to distinguish
        from 0617 which is a miss-use of the actual identifier.

        * ecore.cs (EventExpr.Emit): Refine error report and distinguish
        between cs0070 and cs0079.

        * class.cs (MemberBase.DoDefine): When reporting a wrong
        accessibility level, we use MethodCore to compare instead of
        Method (this was a regression in some refactoring effort).

        So now we correctly report cs0056 again.

        * convert.cs (ImplicitReferenceConversion): Corrected typo, I was
        testing the target_type (which was known to be object_type) and
        not the source type (which is anonymous_method).

        Fixed reporting of error cs1660.

        * expression.cs (UserCast.Source): Expose the underlying cast.

        * statement.cs (Switch.SwitchGoverningType): Sort the list of
        allowed types to find a match to int32 first (most common).

        In addition, it ignores any ImplicitUserConversions that did an
        internal implicit conversion (as the switch statement allows only
        one integral conversion to exist).

        * class.cs (PartialContainer.Create): rename `name' to
        `member_name' for clarity.  Then replace the string calls with a
        call to MemberName.GetPartialName, as now using
        MemberName.ToString is an error (this is due to the side effects
        it had, that were fixed in the past).

        This will restore the error reporting on a number of partial class
        errors that were missusing this (and getting an exception as a
        results, which is now just a plain textual warning, because
        yyparse debug output would crash otherwise).

2004-11-26  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * Makefile (PROGRAM_INSTALL_DIR): Remove.

2004-11-25  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * rootcontext.cs (LookupType): Make sure to cache lookups that
        don't give us a negative result. This saves about 5% of corlib
        compilation time.

2004-11-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * report.cs (AbstractMessage.Print): messages are sent to stderr

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.GetClassBases): It is an error to have a
        non-interface in the list of interfaces (at this point, either
        parent was properly set, or a base class is being listed in the
        interfaces section).

        This flags error 1722, and resolves the crash from bug 69259.

2004-11-25  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Using.EmitExpressionFinally): make this work right
        for valuetypes. Fixes 69926.

2004-11-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * const.cs (Const.ChangeType): Cope with the "0 literal can be
        converted to an enum" here, before we try to change the underlying
        type.  This code exists, but it is a different code path than the
        one used while encoding constants.

        * convert.cs (ImplicitReferenceConversionExists): A surprisingly
        old bug: when converting from the null literal to a pointer,
        return an EmptyCast, not the NullLiteral.

        This fixes #69921, the recent null_type changes probably made this
        bug more prominent.

        (ImplicitReferenceConversionExists): In addition, resynchronized
        the code here, so it matches the same code in
        ImplicitReferenceConversionExists for the `from any class-type S
        to any interface-type T'.
        

2004-11-25  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * cfold.cs (BinaryFold): Add addition for DecimalConstant.

2004-11-24  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Use verbosity accordingly. 

2004-11-24  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * expression.cs (Unary.ResolveOperator): Do not report warning;
        AddressOf reads from variable.
        
        (LocalVariableReferences.DoResolveBase): Improved my previous fix.

2004-11-24  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        Fix bug #69462

        * attribute.cs (Attributable): Removed CheckTargets.
        (Attributes.Emit): Explicit attribute targets are tested here.

        * class.cs (EventField.ValidAttributeTargets): Explicit target "field" is
        not enabled for interfaces.

        * codegen.cs (CommonAssemblyModulClass.AddAttributes): Removed CheckTargets.
        (GetAssemblyName): Ouch next bug there.

2004-11-23  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * expression.cs: Error 275 added.
        
2004-11-23  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        Fix bug #69177 (Implemented decimal constant support)

        * cfold.cs (DoConstantNumericPromotions: Add DecimalConstant.
        (BinaryFold): Add DecimalConstant.

        * const.cs (Define): Decimal constant 
        (is not constant.
        (ChangeType): Add decimal type handling.
        (LookupConstantValue): Don't set value for decimal type but
        emit DecimalConstantAttribute. Needed for constant optimization.

        * constant.cs (ToDecimal): New method.
        (ConvertToDecimal): New method.
        (IntConstant): Implemented ConvertToDecimal.
        (DecimalConstant.Emit): Emit optimized version for decimals in
        int range.

        * expression.cs (ResolveOperator): Changed order of constant
        reduction to work correctly with native types which have
        overloaded operators.
        (ResolveMemberAccess): Extract constant value from attribute
        for decimal type.

        * rootcontext.cs (ResolveCore): Add DecimalConstantAttribute.

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager): Add decimal_constant_attribute_type,
        void_decimal_ctor_int_arg, decimal_constant_attribute_ctor.
        (ChangeType): Decimal is special.
        (TypeToCoreType): Add decimal type.

2004-11-22  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * convert.cs (ImplicitConversionRequired): Add error cs0642 for

        error 202 detection.

2004-11-19  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * Makefile (EXTRA_DISTFILES): Remove mcs.exe.config.  It's
        automatically handled by executable.make.
        (PROGRAM): Make profile-specific.

2004-11-18  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * expression.cs (DoResolveBase): Fixed wrong warning for out
        variables.

2004-11-18  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        Merged latest changes into gmcs.  Please keep this comment in
        here, it makes it easier for me to see what changed in MCS since
        the last time I merged.

2004-11-17  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * typemanager.cs (TypeHandle.GetTypeHandle): Make private.
        (TypeHandle.GetMemberCache): New.
        (TypeHandle.TypeHandle): Update.
        (TypeManager.LookupMemberCache): Rewritten from LookupMemberContainer.
        (TypeManager.LookupParentInterfacesCache):
        Rename from LookupInterfaceCache.  Optimize slightly.
        (TypeManager.MemberLookup_FindMembers): Update.
        * decl.cs (MemberCache.MemberCache): Set Container to null in the
        multi-type variant.
        (AddCacheContents): Rename from AddHashtable.
        * class.cs (TypeContainer.parent_container): Remove.
        (TypeContainer.VerifyClsCompliance): Don't use parent_container.
        (TypeContainer.DoDefineMembers): Don't initialize it.
        Update to name changes.
        
2004-11-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (MethodCore.CheckAccessModifiers): New helper routine
        that factors the code to check access modifiers on override.  

        (PropertyBase): Use the code here.

        Patch from Lluis S'anchez, fixes bug #69361.

2004-11-15  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * anonymous.cs (AnonymousMethod.Error_AddressOfCapturedVar): New
        routine that is used to report the use of a captured variable
        whose address has been taken.

        There are two checks: one when variables are being captured and
        the other check is when the address of a variable is taken. 
        
        (because an anonymous methods might be resolved before *or* after
        the address has been taken) and 

        * expression.cs (Conditional.DoResolve): Remove the special
        casing that Martin added to trueExpr and falseExpr being both
        NullLiteral.  We get the right behavior now just by introducing
        the null_type into the compiler. 

        * convert.cs (ExplicitConversion): Change the code to use
        null_type instead of testing `expr is NullLiteral'.
        (ImplicitConversionStandard): use null_type too.
        (ImplicitReferenceConversionExists): use null_type too.
        (ImplicitReferenceConversion): use null_type too.

        * literal.cs: The type of `NullLiteral' is now null_type instead
        of object_type. 
        (Resolve): Set the type here.

        * typemanager.cs: Introduce null_type.

2004-11-17  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * decl.cs (MemberCache.AddHashtable): Add entries in the opposite
        direction, like FindMembers() does.  Fixes #69546, testcase is in
        test-315.cs.    

2004-11-16  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        This is based on a patch from Marek Safar, see bug #69082.
        Fixes bugs #63705 and #67130.

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.LookupInterfaceCache): New public
        method; create a MemberCache for an interface type and cache the
        result.

        * decl.cs (IMemberContainer.ParentContainer): Removed.
        (IMemberContainer.ParentCache): New property.
        (MemberCache.SetupCacheForInterface): Removed.
        (MemberCache..ctor): Added .ctor which takes a `Type[]'; use this
        to create a cache for an interface's "parent".

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.DoDefineMembers): Setup cache for
        interfaces too.

2004-11-16  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        Merged back from gmcs; these changes already went into gmcs a
        couple of weeks ago.

        * typemanager.cs
        (TypeManager.AddUserType): Removed the `ifaces' argument.
        (TypeManager.RegisterBuilder): Take a `Type []' instead of a
        `TypeExpr []'.
        (TypeManager.AddUserInterface): Removed.
        (TypeManager.ExpandInterfaces): Return a `Type []' instead of a
        `TypeExpr []'.
        (TypeManager.GetInterfaces): Likewise.
        (TypeManager.GetExplicitInterfaces): Likewise.

        * ecore.cs (TypeExpr.GetInterfaces): Removed.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.base_class_type): Replaced with `ptype'.
        (TypeContainer.base_inteface_types): Replaced with `ifaces'.

2004-11-14  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs: Avoid adding bools to a hashtable.

2004-11-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Invocation.OverloadResolve): Flag error if we are
        calling an unsafe method from a safe location.

2004-11-06  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        Fix #69167
        * codegen.cs (ApplyAttributeBuilder): Do not return; it is only warning.

2004-11-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * namespace.cs (VerifyUsing): use GetPartialName instead of
        ToString. 

2004-11-05  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Return.Resolve): Fix regression in typo: if
        `in_exc', we have to request a NeedReturnLabel, this was a typo
        introduced in the anonymous method check-in.  Fixes #69131.

        * Indexers were using the ShortName when defining themselves,
        causing a regression in the compiler bootstrap when applying the
        patch from 2004-11-02 (first part), now they use their full name
        and the bug is gone.

2004-11-04  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * driver.cs: Strip the path from the names of embedded resources. Fixes
        #68519.

2004-11-04  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix error message regression: cs0104-2.cs.
        * namespace.cs (NamespaceEntry.Lookup): Remove 'silent' flag.
        (AliasEntry.Resolve): Update.
        * rootcontext.cs (RootContext.NamespaceLookup): Update.  Remove
        'silent' flag.
        (RootContext.LookupType): Update.

2004-11-03  Carlos Alberto Cortez <carlos@unixmexico.org>

        * cs-parser.jay: Add support for handling accessor modifiers
        * class: Add support port accessor modifiers and error checking,
        define PropertyMethod.Define as virtual (not abstract anymore)
        * ecore.cs: Add checking for proeprties access with access modifiers
        * iterators.cs: Modify Accessor constructor call based in the modified
        constructor
2004-11-02  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (StringConcat): Handle being called twice,
        as when we have a concat in a field init with more than two
        ctors in the class

2004-11-02  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Event.Define, Indexer.Define, Property.Define): Do not
        special case explicit implementations, we should always produce
        the .property or .event declaration.
        
        * decl.cs (MemberName): Renamed GetFullName to GetPartialName
        since it will not return correct data if people use this
        unresolved in the presence of using statements (see test-313).

        * class.cs (MethodData.Define): If we are an explicit interface
        implementation, set the method name to the full name of the
        interface plus the name of the method.  

        Notice that using the method.MethodName.GetFullName() does not
        work, as it will only contain the name as declared on the source
        file (it can be a shorthand in the presence of using statements)
        and not the fully qualifed type name, for example:

        using System;

        class D : ICloneable {
                object ICloneable.Clone ()  {
                }
        }

        Would produce a method called `ICloneable.Clone' instead of
        `System.ICloneable.Clone'.

        * namespace.cs (Alias.Resolve): Use GetPartialName.
        
2004-11-01  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * cs-parser.jay: Add error 1055 report.

2004-11-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * assign.cs (Assign.DoResolve): Only do the transform of
        assignment into a New if the types are compatible, if not, fall
        through and let the implicit code deal with the errors and with
        the necessary conversions. 

2004-11-01  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * cs-parser.jay: Add error 1031 report.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Add location for error 1038.

2004-10-31  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * cs-parser.jay: Add error 1001 report.

2004-10-31  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        Fix #68850
        * attribute.cs (GetMarshal): Add method argument for
        caller identification.

        * class.cs, codegen.cs, enum.cs, parameter.cs: Added
        agument for GetMarshal and RuntimeMissingSupport.

2004-10-31  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * attribute.cs (ExtractSecurityPermissionSet): Removed
        TypeManager.code_access_permission_type.

        * typemanager.cs: Removed TypeManager.code_access_permission_type.

2004-10-27  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (LocalVariableReference.DoResolveLValue): Check
        for obsolete use of a variable here.   Fixes regression on errors
        cs0619-25 and cs0619-26.

2004-10-27  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        Fix #62358, implemented security attribute encoding.

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.CheckSecurityActionValididy): New method.
        Tests permitted SecurityAction for assembly or other types.
        (Assembly.ExtractSecurityPermissionSet): New method. Transforms
        data from SecurityPermissionAttribute to PermisionSet class.

        * class.cs (ApplyAttributeBuilder): Added special handling
        for System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAttribute based types.

        * codegen.cs (AssemblyClass.ApplyAttributeBuilder): Added
        special handling for System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAttribute
        based types.

        * enum.cs (ApplyAttributeBuilder): Added special handling
        for System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAttribute based types.

        * parameter.cs (ApplyAttributeBuilder): Added special handling
        for System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAttribute based types.

        * rootcontext.cs: Next 2 core types.

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.security_permission_attr_type):
        Built in type for the SecurityPermission Attribute.
        (code_access_permission_type): Build in type.

2004-10-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (LocalVariableReference.DoResolveBase, Emit):
        Remove the tests for `ec.RemapToProxy' from here, and encapsulate
        all of this information into
        EmitContext.EmitCapturedVariableInstance.
        
        * codegen.cs (EmitCapturedVariableInstance): move here the
        funcionality of emitting an ldarg.0 in the presence of a
        remapping.   This centralizes the instance emit code.

        (EmitContext.EmitThis): If the ScopeInfo contains a THIS field,
        then emit a load of this: it means that we have reached the
        topmost ScopeInfo: the one that contains the pointer to the
        instance of the class hosting the anonymous method.

        * anonymous.cs (AddField, HaveCapturedFields): Propagate field
        captures to the topmost CaptureContext.

2004-10-12  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (LocalVariableReference): Move the knowledge about
        the iterators into codegen's EmitCapturedVariableInstance.

2004-10-11  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.ResolveTopBlock): Emit a 1643 when not
        all code paths return a value from an anonymous method (it is the
        same as the 161 error, but for anonymous methods).

2004-10-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        The introduction of anonymous methods in the compiler changed
        various ways of doing things in the compiler.  The most
        significant one is the hard split between the resolution phase
        and the emission phases of the compiler.

        For instance, routines that referenced local variables no
        longer can safely create temporary variables during the
        resolution phase: they must do so from the emission phase,
        since the variable might have been "captured", hence access to
        it can not be done with the local-variable operations from the runtime.
        
        * statement.cs 

        (Block.Flags): New flag `IsTopLevel' to indicate that this block
        is a toplevel block.

        (ToplevelBlock): A new kind of Block, these are the blocks that
        are created by the parser for all toplevel method bodies.  These
        include methods, accessors and anonymous methods.

        These contain some extra information not found in regular blocks:
        A pointer to an optional CaptureContext (for tracking captured
        local variables and parameters).  A pointer to the parent
        ToplevelBlock.
        
        (Return.Resolve): Catch missmatches when returning a value from an
        anonymous method (error 1662).
        Invoke NeedReturnLabel from the Resolve phase instead of the emit
        phase.

        (Break.Resolve): ditto.

        (SwitchLabel): instead of defining the labels during the
        resolution phase, we now turned the public ILLabel and ILLabelCode
        labels into methods called GetILLabelCode() and GetILLabel() that
        only define the label during the Emit phase.

        (GotoCase): Track the SwitchLabel instead of the computed label
        (its contained therein).  Emit the code by using
        SwitchLabel.GetILLabelCode ().

        (LocalInfo.Flags.Captured): A new flag has been introduce to track
        whether the Local has been captured or not.

        (LocalInfo.IsCaptured): New property, used to tell whether the
        local has been captured.
        
        * anonymous.cs: Vastly updated to contain the anonymous method
        support.

        The main classes here are: CaptureContext which tracks any
        captured information for a toplevel block and ScopeInfo used to
        track the activation frames for various local variables.   

        Each toplevel block has an optional capture context associated
        with it.  When a method contains an anonymous method both the
        toplevel method and the anonymous method will create a capture
        context.   When variables or parameters are captured, they are
        recorded on the CaptureContext that owns them, for example:

        void Demo () {
             int a;
             MyDelegate d = delegate {
                 a = 1;
             }
        }

        Here `a' will be recorded as captured on the toplevel
        CapturedContext, the inner captured context will not have anything
        (it will only have data if local variables or parameters from it
        are captured in a nested anonymous method.

        The ScopeInfo is used to track the activation frames for local
        variables, for example:

        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
                for (int j = 0; j < 10; j++){
                   MyDelegate d = delegate {
                        call (i, j);
                   }
                }

        At runtime this captures a single captured variable `i', but it
        captures 10 different versions of the variable `j'.  The variable
        `i' will be recorded on the toplevel ScopeInfo, while `j' will be
        recorded on a child.  

        The toplevel ScopeInfo will also track information like the `this'
        pointer if instance variables were referenced (this is necessary
        as the anonymous method lives inside a nested class in the host
        type of the method). 

        (AnonymousMethod): Expanded to track the Toplevel, implement
        `AnonymousMethod.Compatible' to tell whether an anonymous method
        can be converted to a target delegate type. 

        The routine now also produces the anonymous method content

        (AnonymousDelegate): A helper class that derives from
        DelegateCreation, this is used to generate the code necessary to
        produce the delegate for the anonymous method that was created. 

        * assign.cs: API adjustments for new changes in
        Convert.ImplicitStandardConversionExists.

        * class.cs: Adjustments to cope with the fact that now toplevel
        blocks are of type `ToplevelBlock'. 

        * cs-parser.jay: Now we produce ToplevelBlocks for toplevel blocks
        insteda of standard blocks.

        Flag errors if params arguments are passed to anonymous methods.

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext): Replace `InAnonymousMethod' with
        `CurrentAnonymousMethod' which points to the current Anonymous
        Method.  The variable points to the AnonymousMethod class that
        holds the code being compiled.  It is set in the new EmitContext
        created for the anonymous method.

        (EmitContext.Phase): Introduce a variable and an enumeration to
        assist in enforcing some rules about when and where we are allowed
        to invoke certain methods (EmitContext.NeedsReturnLabel is the
        only one that enfonces this right now).

        (EmitContext.HaveCaptureInfo): new helper method that returns
        whether we have a CapturedContext initialized.

        (EmitContext.CaptureVariable): New method used to register that a
        LocalInfo must be flagged for capturing. 

        (EmitContext.CapturedParameter): New method used to register that a
        parameters must be flagged for capturing. 
        
        (EmitContext.CapturedField): New method used to register that a
        field must be flagged for capturing. 

        (EmitContext.HaveCapturedVariables,
        EmitContext.HaveCapturedFields): Return whether there are captured
        variables or fields. 

        (EmitContext.EmitMethodHostInstance): This is used to emit the
        instance for the anonymous method.  The instance might be null
        (static methods), this (for anonymous methods that capture nothing
        and happen to live side-by-side with the current method body) or a
        more complicated expression if the method has a CaptureContext.

        (EmitContext.EmitTopBlock): Routine that drives the emission of
        code: it will first resolve the top block, then emit any metadata
        and then emit the code.  The split is done so that we can extract
        any anonymous methods and flag any captured variables/parameters.
        
        (EmitContext.ResolveTopBlock): Triggers the resolution phase,
        during this phase, the ILGenerator should not be used as labels
        and local variables declared here might not be accessible to any
        code that is part of an anonymous method.  

        Exceptions to this include the temporary variables that are
        created by some statements internally for holding temporary
        variables. 
        
        (EmitContext.EmitMeta): New routine, in charge of emitting all the
        metadata for a cb

        (EmitContext.TemporaryReturn): This method is typically called
        from the Emit phase, and its the only place where we allow the
        ReturnLabel to be defined other than the EmitMeta.  The reason is
        that otherwise we would have to duplicate a lot of logic in the
        Resolve phases of various methods that today is on the Emit
        phase. 

        (EmitContext.NeedReturnLabel): This no longer creates the label,
        as the ILGenerator is not valid during the resolve phase.

        (EmitContext.EmitThis): Extended the knowledge in this class to
        work in anonymous methods in addition to iterators. 

        (EmitContext.EmitCapturedVariableInstance): This emits whatever
        code is necessary on the stack to access the instance to a local
        variable (the variable will be accessed as a field).

        (EmitContext.EmitParameter, EmitContext.EmitAssignParameter,
        EmitContext.EmitAddressOfParameter): Routines to support
        parameters (not completed at this point). 
        
        Removals: Removed RemapLocal and RemapLocalLValue.  We probably
        will also remove the parameters.

        * convert.cs (Convert): Define a `ConstantEC' which points to a
        null.  This is just to prefity some code that uses
        ImplicitStandardConversion code and do not have an EmitContext
        handy.

        The idea is to flag explicitly that at that point in time, it is
        known that the conversion will not trigger the delegate checking
        code in implicit conversions (which requires a valid
        EmitContext). 

        Everywhere: pass new EmitContext parameter since
        ImplicitStandardConversionExists now requires it to check for
        anonymous method conversions. 

        (Convert.ImplicitStandardConversionExists): If the type of an
        expression is the anonymous_method_type, and the type is a
        delegate, we invoke the AnonymousMethod.Compatible method to check
        whether an implicit conversion is possible. 

        (Convert.ImplicitConversionStandard): Only do implicit method
        group conversions if the language level is not ISO_1.

        * delegate.cs (Delegate.GetInvokeMethod): Common method to get the
        MethodInfo for the Invoke method.  used by Delegate and
        AnonymousDelegate.

        * expression.cs (Binary.DoNumericPromotions): only allow anonymous
        method conversions if the target type is a delegate.

        Removed extra debugging nops.

        (LocalVariableReference): Turn the `local_info' into a public
        field. 

        Add `prepared' field, the same hack used for FieldExprs to cope
        with composed assignments, as Local variables do not necessarily
        operate purely on the stack as they used to: they can be captured
        fields. 

        Add `temp' for a temporary result, like fields.

        Refactor DoResolve and DoResolveLValue into DoResolveBase.

        It now copes with Local variables that are captured and emits the
        proper instance variable to load it from a field in the captured
        case. 

        (ParameterReference.DoResolveBase): During the resolve phase,
        capture parameters if we are in an anonymous method.

        (ParameterReference.Emit, ParameterReference.AddressOf): If in an
        anonymous method, use the EmitContext helper routines to emit the
        parameter reference.

        * iterators.cs: Set RemapToProxy to true/false during the
        EmitDispose class.

        * parameters.cs (GetParameterByName): New helper method. 

        * typemanager.cs (anonymous_method_type) a new type that
        represents an anonyous method.  This is always an internal type,
        used as a fencepost to test against the anonymous-methodness of an
        expression.

2004-09-10  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        Backported my MemberName changes from GMCS into MCS.

        - we are now using a special `MemberName' class instead of using
        strings; in GMCS, the `MemberName' also contains the type
        arguments.

        - changed the grammar rules a bit:
          * the old `member_name' is now a `namespace_or_type_name':
            The rule is that we use `namespace_or_type_name' everywhere
            where we expect either a "member name" (GetEnumerator) or a
            "member name" with an explicit interface name
            (IEnumerable.GetEnumerator).
            In GMCS, the explicit interface name may include type arguments
            (IEnumerable<T>.GetEnumerator).
          * we use `member_name' instead of just `IDENTIFIER' for
            "member names":
            The rule is that we use `member_name' wherever a member may
            have type parameters in GMCS.       

        * decl.cs (MemberName): New public class.
        (MemberCore.MemberName): New public readonly field.
        (MemberCore.ctor): Take a `MemberName' argument, not a string.
        (DeclSpace): Likewise.

        * delegate.cs (Delegate.ctor): Take a MemberName, not a string.
        * enum.cs (Enum.ctor): Likewise.

        * namespace.cs (AliasEntry.Alias): Changed type from Expression to
        MemberName.     
        (AliasEntry.ctor): Take a MemberName, not an Expression.
        (AliasEntry.UsingAlias): Likewise.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.ctor): Take a MemberName, not a string.
        (IMethodData.MemberName): Changed type from string to MemberName.
        (MemberBase.ExplicitInterfaceName): Likewise.
        (AbstractPropertyEventMethod.SetupName): Make this private.
        (AbstractPropertyEventMethod.ctor): Added `string prefix'
        argument; compute the member name here.
        (AbstractPropertyEventMethod.UpdateName): Recompute the name based
        on the `member.MemberName' and the `prefix'.

        * cs-parser.jay (attribute_name): Use `namespace_or_type_name',
        not `type_name'.
        (struct_declaration): Use `member_name' instead of `IDENTIFIER';
        thus, we get a `MemberName' instead of a `string'.  These
        declarations may have type parameters in GMCS.
        (interface_method_declaration, delegate_declaration): Likewise.
        (class_declaration, interface_declaration): Likewise.
        (method_header): Use `namespace_or_type_name' instead of
        `member_name'.  We may be an explicit interface implementation.
        (property_declaration, event_declaration): Likewise.
        (member_name): This is now just an `IDENTIFIER', not a
        `namespace_or_type_name'.
        (type_name, interface_type): Removed.
        (namespace_or_type_name): Return a MemberName, not an Expression.
        (primary_expression): Use `member_name' instead of `IDENTIFIER';
        call GetTypeExpression() on the MemberName to get an expression.
        (IndexerDeclaration.interface_type): Changed type from string to

2004-07-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs
        (TypeContainer.RegisterOrder): Removed, this was unused.
        (TypeContainer, interface_order): Removed.
        (TypeContainer.AddClass, AddStruct, AddInterface): Take a
        TypeContainer as argument since we can also be called with a
        `PartialContainer' for a partial class/struct/interface.
        (TypeContainer.IsInterface): Use `Kind == Kind.Interface' instead
        of checking whether we're an `Interface' - we could be a
        `PartialContainer'.
        (PartialContainer.Register): Override; call
        AddClass()/AddStruct()/AddInterface() on our parent.

        * cs-parser.jay (interface_member_declaration): Add things to the
        `current_container', not the `current_class'.

        * rootcontext.cs (RegisterOrder): The overloaded version which
        takes an `Interface' was unused, removed.

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.LookupInterface): Return a
        `TypeContainer', not an `Interface'.
        (TypeManager.IsInterfaceType): The `builder_to_declspace' may
        contain a `PartialContainer' for an interface, so check it's
        `Kind' to figure out what it is.

2004-07-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Class.DefaultTypeAttributes): New public constant.
        (Struct.DefaultTypeAttributes): Likewise.
        (Interface.DefaultTypeAttributes): Likewise.
        (PartialContainer.TypeAttr): Override this and add the
        DefaultTypeAttributes.

2004-07-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * decl.cs (DeclSpace.Emit): Removed the `TypeContainer' argument,
        we can just use the `Parent' field instead.

2004-07-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.Emit): Renamed to EmitType().

2004-07-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.DefineMembers): Call DefineMembers() on
        our parts before defining any methods.

2004-07-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * iterators.cs (Iterator.Define): Renamed to DefineIterator().

        * decl.cs (DeclSpace.Define): Removed the `TypeContainer'
        argument, we can just use the `Parent' field instead.

        * class.cs
        (MemberBase.CheckBase): Removed the `TypeContainer' argument.   
        (MemberBase.DoDefine): Likewise.

2004-07-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * decl.cs (MemberCore.Parent): New public field.
        (DeclSpace.Parent): Moved to MemberCore.

        * class.cs (MethodCore.ds): Removed; use `Parent' instead.
        (MemberBase.ctor): Added TypeContainer argument, pass it to our
        parent's .ctor.
        (FieldBase, Field, Operator): Likewise.
        (EventProperty.ctor): Take a TypeContainer instead of a DeclSpace.
        (EventField, Event): Likewise.

2004-07-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (PartialContainer): New public class.
        (ClassPart): New public class.
        (TypeContainer): Added support for partial classes.
        (TypeContainer.GetClassBases): Splitted some of the functionality
        out into GetNormalBases() and GetPartialBases().

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (Token.PARTIAL): New token.
        (Tokenizer.consume_identifier): Added some hacks to recognize
        `partial', but only if it's immediately followed by `class',
        `struct' or `interface'.

        * cs-parser.jay: Added support for partial clases.

2004-07-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (MethodCore.ds): Made this a `TypeContainer' instead of
        a `DeclSpace' and also made it readonly.
        (MethodCore.ctor): Take a TypeContainer instead of a DeclSpace.
        (Method.ctor, Constructor.ctor, Destruktor.ctor): Likewise.
        (PropertyBase.ctor, Property.ctor, Indexer.ctor): Likewise.

        * cs-parser.jay: Pass the `current_class', not the
        `current_container' (at the moment, this is still the same thing)
        to a new Method, Property, Event, Indexer or Constructor.

2004-07-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay (CSharpParser): Added a new `current_class' field
        and removed the `current_interface' one.
        (struct_declaration, class_declaration, interface_declaration):
        Set `current_class' to the newly created class/struct/interface;
        set their `Bases' and call Register() before parsing their body.

2004-07-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Kind): New public enum.
        (TypeContainer): Made this class abstract.

        * tree.cs (RootTypes): New public type. 

2004-07-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * tree.cs (Tree.RecordNamespace): Removed.
        (Tree.Namespaces): Removed.

        * rootcontext.cs (RootContext.IsNamespace): Removed.

        * cs-parser.jay (namespace_declaration): Just create a new
        NamespaceEntry here.

2004-07-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (ExceptionStatement): New abstract class.  This is
        now used as a base class for everyone who's using `finally'.
        (Using.ResolveLocalVariableDecls): Actually ResolveLValue() all
        our local variables before using them.

        * flowanalysis.cs (FlowBranching.StealFinallyClauses): New public
        virtual method.  This is used by Yield.Resolve() to "steal" an
        outer block's `finally' clauses.
        (FlowBranchingException): The .ctor now takes an ExceptionStatement
        argument.

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.StartFlowBranching): Added overloaded
        version which takes an ExceptionStatement.  This version must be
        used to create exception branchings.

        * iterator.cs
        (Yield.Resolve): "Steal" all `finally' clauses from containing blocks.
        (Iterator.EmitMoveNext): Added exception support; protect the
        block with a `fault' clause, properly handle 'finally' clauses.
        (Iterator.EmitDispose): Run all the `finally' clauses here.

2004-07-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * iterator.cs: This is the first of a set of changes in the
        iterator code.  Match the spec more closely: if we're an
        IEnumerable, then GetEnumerator() must be called.  The first time
        GetEnumerator() is called, it returns the current instance; all
        subsequent invocations (if any) must create a copy.

2004-07-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs: Resolve the constant expression before returning
        it. 

2004-07-19  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * iterators.cs (Iterator.MapVariable): Don't define fields twice.
        (Iterator.MoveNextMethod.DoEmit): Use `TypeManager.int32_type' as
        the return type of the new EmitContext.

2004-07-18  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Property.Define): Fix iterators.

        * iterators.cs (Iterator.Define): Moved the
        `container.AddInterator (this)' call here from the .ctor; only do
        it if we resolved successfully.

2004-07-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (handle_preprocessing_directive): Do not return
        `true' for preprocessing directives that we parse.  The return
        value indicates whether we should return to regular tokenizing or
        not, not whether it was parsed successfully.

        In the past if we were in: #if false ... #line #endif, we would
        resume parsing after `#line'.  See bug 61604.

        * typemanager.cs: Removed an old hack from Gonzalo to get corlib
        building: IsEnumType should return true only for enums, not for
        enums or System.Enum itself.  This fixes #61593.

        Likely what happened is that corlib was wrong: mcs depended on
        this bug in some places.  The bug got fixed, we had to add the
        hack, which caused bug 61593.

        * expression.cs (ArrayAccess.GetStoreOpCode): Remove an old hack
        that was a workaround for the older conditions.

2004-07-16  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * assign.cs: IAssignMethod has a new interface, as documented
        inline. All assignment code now uses this new api.

        * ecore.cs, expression.cs: All classes which implement
        IAssignMethod now use the new interface.

        * expression.cs (Invocation): add a hack to EmitCall so that
        IndexerAccess can be the target of a compound assignment without
        evaluating its arguments twice.

        * statement.cs: Handle changes in Invocation api.

2004-07-16  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * iterators.cs: Rewrote this.  We're now using one single Proxy
        class for both the IEnumerable and the IEnumerator interface and
        `Iterator' derives from Class so we can use the high-level API.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.AddIterator): New method.
        (TypeContainer.DoDefineType): New protected virtual method, which
        is called from DefineType().
        (TypeContainer.DoDefineMembers): Call DefineType() and
        DefineMembers() on all our iterators.
        (TypeContainer.Emit): Call Emit() on all our iterators.
        (TypeContainer.CloseType): Call CloseType() on all our iterators.

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.CurrentIterator): New public field.

2004-07-15  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs
        (TypeManager.not_supported_exception_type): New type.   

2004-07-14  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * iterators.cs: Use real error numbers.

2004-07-14  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * iterator.cs (IteratorHandle.IsIEnumerable): The spec explicitly
        requires this to be a System.Collection.IEnumerable and not a
        class implementing that interface.
        (IteratorHandle.IsIEnumerator): Likewise, for IEnumerator.      

2004-07-13  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * class.cs: Fixed previous fix, it broke some error tests.

2004-07-12  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * enum.cs (Enum.Define): Call Emit() to emit the attributes.
        Fixes #61293.

2004-07-09  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * assign.cs (LocalTemporary): Add new argument: is_address,If
        `is_address' is true, then the value that we store is the address
        to the real value, and not the value itself.
        
        * ecore.cs (PropertyExpr): use the new local temporary
        stuff to allow us to handle X.Y += z (where X is a struct)

2004-07-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Lock.Resolve): Set ec.NeedReturnLabel() if we do
        not always return, just like we're doing in Using.Resolve().

2004-07-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay (fixed_statement): flag this as Pinned.

2004-07-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager): Removed MakePinned method, this
        mechanism is replaced with the .NET 2.x compatible mechanism of
        calling `ILGenerator.DeclareLocal (Type t, bool pinned)'.

        * statement.cs (LocalInfo): Remove MakePinned, add Pinned property 
        Rename `Fixed' to `Pinned' as a flag, to distinguish from the
        `IsFixed' property which has a different meaning.

2004-07-02  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * ecore.cs (DoSimpleNameResolve): Expand CS0038 check to all names
        visible from inside a nested class, not just the names of the
        immediately enclosing class.
        Fix for bug #60730.

2004-06-24  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * expression.cs (BetterConversion): Remove buggy special-case
        handling of "implicit constant expression conversions".  At this
        point, we already know that the conversion is possible -- we're
        only checking to see which is better.

2004-06-24  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * cs-parser.jay: Added error CS0210 test.

2004-06-23  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>
        
        * expression.cs (StackAlloc.Resolve): The argument may not
        be a constant; deal with this case.
        
2004-06-23  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * attribute.cs (IndexerName_GetIndexerName): Renamed to
        GetIndexerAttributeValue.
        (ScanForIndexerName): Renamed to GetIndexerNameAttribute.

        * class.cs (Indexer.Define): Added error tests for CS0415,
        CS0609.

        property code.

2004-06-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        neither return nor throw, reset the barrier as well.  Fixes #60457.

2004-06-22  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * class.cs : EventAttributes is now set to None by default.
          This fixes bug #60459.

2004-06-18  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        Fix bug #60219
        * class.cs (ConstructorInitializer.GetOverloadedConstructor):
        Don't throw exception but return null (it's sufficient now).

2004-06-18  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * typemanager.cs (GetArgumentTypes): Faster implementation.

2004-06-18  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.Resolve): Check whether we're an
        EmptyCast which a Constant child.  Fixes #60333.

2004-06-17  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (EmitCollectionForeach): Account for the fact that
        not all valuetypes are in areas which we can take the address of.
        For these variables, we store to a temporary variable. Also, make
        sure that we dont emit a `callvirt' on a valuetype method.

2004-06-15  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * expression.cs (StackAlloc.DoReSolve): Added test for

        (SimpleName.SimpleNameResolve, SimpleName.DoResolveAllowStatic):
        Add 'intermediate' boolean argument.
        (SimpleName.DoSimpleNameResolve): Likewise.  Use it to disable an
        error message when the SimpleName can be resolved ambiguously
        between an expression and a type.
        * expression.cs (MemberAccess.IdenticalNameAndTypeName): Make
        public.
        (MemberAccess.Resolve): Pass 'Intermediate' flag to the Resolve()
        call on the left-side.

        before strongnaming the compiled assembly. If not report error CS1577.
        Fix bug #56563. Patch by Jackson Harper.

        attribute error tests (CS0577, CS0578, CS0243, CS0582, CS0629).

        * delegate.cs:
        (DelegateCreation.ResolveMethodGroupExpr): Added error CS1618 test.

        Fixed #59072
        * typemanager.cs (GetFullNameSignature): New method for

        clauses matches their dependencies.

2004-05-31  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Reverted patch to namespace.cs (Use lookuptypedirect).  This
        caused a regression: #59343.  Referencing nested classes from an
        assembly stopped working.

2004-05-31  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        MCS is now frozen for beta 2.

2004-05-30 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * convert.cs: add a trivial cache for overload operator resolution.

2004-05-30 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * decl.cs: If possible, use lookuptypedirect here. We can only do
        this if there is no `.' after the namespace. Avoids using
        LookupType, which does lots of slow processing.
        (FindNestedType) New method, does what it says :-).
        * namespace.cs: use LookupTypeDirect.
        * rootcontext.cs: use membercache, if possible.
        * typemanager.cs (LookupTypeDirect): Cache negative hits too.

2004-05-30 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * expression.cs:
        According to the spec, 

        In a member access of the form E.I, if E is a single identifier,
        and if the meaning of E as a simple-name (§7.5.2) is a constant,
        field, property, localvariable, or parameter with the same type as
        the meaning of E as a type-name (§3.8), then both possible
        meanings of E are permitted.

        We did not check that E as a simple-name had the same type as E as
        a type name.

        This trivial check gives us 5-7% on bootstrap time.

2004-05-30 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * expression.cs (Invocation.OverloadResolve): Avoid the
        use of hashtables and boxing here by allocating on demand.

2004-05-30  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * rootcontext.cs (RootContext.LookupType): Don't cache things if
        we're doing a silent lookup.  Don't try to lookup nested types in

        (TypeManager.AddMethod): Removed.
        (TypeManager.AddMethod2): Renamed to AddMethod.

2004-05-29  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

2004-05-29  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (ConstructorInitializer.GetOverloadedConstructor):

2004-05-29  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (MemberAccess.ResolveMemberAccess): If we're an

2004-05-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName.SimpleNameResolve): Renamed to
        DoSimpleNameResolve() and provide a SimpleNameResolve() wrapper
        which does the CS0135 check.  The reason is that we first need to
        check whether the variable actually exists.

2004-05-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (MemberBase.DoDefine): Use DeclSpace.FindType() rather

        * expression.cs (Binary.DoNumericPromotions): 0 long constant can
        be implicitly converted to ulong.
        
        * expression.cs: The logic for allowing operator &, | and ^ worked
        was wrong, it worked before because we did not report an error in
        an else branch.  Fixes 57895.

        * class.cs: Applied patch from iain@mccoy.id.au Iain McCoy to
        allow volatile fields to be reference types.

2004-05-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

2004-05-01  Todd Berman  <tberman@sevenl.net>

        * driver.cs: Try a LoadFrom before a Load, this checks the current
        path. This is currently a bug in mono that is be fixed, however, this

2004-05-01  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * CryptoConvert.cs: Updated to latest version. Fix issue with

        now.
        
2004-04-29  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * decl.cs, enum.cs: Improved error 3005 reporting.

        * decl.cs (MemberCache.SetupCacheForInterface): Look over all our

        * expression.cs (ConditionalLogicalOperator): Use a temporary
        variable for `left' to avoid that we evaluate it more than once;

        * expression.cs (ComposedCast.DoResolveAsTypeStep): Don't allow
        `void[]' (CS1547).

2004-04-28  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (LocalInfo.Resolve): Check whether the type is not
        void (CS1547).

        * class.cs (MemberBase.CheckParameters, FieldBase.DoDefine): Check
        whether the type is not void (CS1547).

        comparing StringConstants and NullLiterals in Equality and Inequality.

2004-04-28  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: Attempt to load referenced assemblies from the
        GAC. This is the quick and dirty version of this method that
        doesnt take into account versions and just takes the first
        canidate found. Will be good enough for now as we will not have more
        then one version installed into the GAC until I update this method.

2004-04-28  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.CheckStructCycles): New public
        static method to check for cycles in the struct layout.

        * rootcontext.cs (RootContext.PopulateTypes): Call
        TypeManager.CheckStructCycles() for each TypeContainer.
        [Note: We only need to visit each type once.]

2004-04-28  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * constant.cs (StringConstant.Emit): Emit Ldnull if we're null.

        * const.cs (Const.LookupConstantValue): Return a `bool' signalling
        success and added `out object value'.  Use a `bool resolved' field
        to check whether we've already been called rather than
        `ConstantValue != null' since this breaks for NullLiterals.

2004-04-28  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * driver.cs (Driver.MainDriver) [IsModuleOnly]: Open code the
        setting of this flag, since the 'set' method may be non-public.

        a field initializer.  Fixes #56459.

2004-04-27  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (PropertyExpr.DoResolve/DoResolveLValue): Check whether
        we're not attempting to use an indexer.  Fixes #52154.

2004-04-27  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Return): Don't create a return label if we don't
        need it; reverts my change from January 20th.  Thanks to Ben
        Maurer for this.

2004-04-27  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        According to the spec, `goto' can only leave a nested scope, but
        never enter it.

        * statement.cs (Block.LookupLabel): Only lookup in the current
        block, don't recurse into parent or child blocks.
        (Block.AddLabel): Check in parent and child blocks, report
        CS0140/CS0158 if we find a duplicate.
        (Block): Removed this indexer for label lookups.
        (Goto.Resolve): Call LookupLabel() on our current FlowBranching;
        this already does the error reporting for us.

        * flowanalysis.cs
        (FlowBranching.UsageVector.Block): New public variable; may be null.
        (FlowBranching.CreateSibling): Added `Block' argument.
        (FlowBranching.LookupLabel): New public virtual method.  Lookup a
        label for the target of a `goto' and check whether we're not
        leaving a `finally'.

2004-04-27  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * flowanalysis.cs (FlowBranching.UsageVector.MergeChild): If we're
        a finite loop block, also do the ALWAYS->SOMETIMES for throws (not
        just for returns).

2004-04-27  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Block.AddLabel): Also check for implicit blocks
        and added a CS0158 check.

2004-04-27  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * flowanalysis.cs (FlowBranchingLoop): New class.
        (FlowBranching.UsageVector.MergeJumpOrigins): Take a list of
        UsageVector's instead of an ArrayList.
        (FlowBranching.Label): Likewise.
        (FlowBranching.UsageVector.MergeBreakOrigins): New method.
        (FlowBranching.AddBreakVector): New method.

2004-04-27  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs: Small regression fix: only convert the type if we
        the type is different, fixes System.Drawing build.

2004-04-27  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.Resolve): If we have a constant value
        for a named field or property, implicity convert it to the correct
        type.

2004-04-27  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * statement.cs (Block.Block): Implicit blocks share
        'child_variable_names' fields with parent blocks.
        (Block.AddChildVariableNames): Remove.
        (Block.AddVariable): Mark variable as "used by a child block" in
        every surrounding block.
        * ecore.cs (SimpleName.SimpleNameResolve): If the name has already
        been used in a child block, complain about violation of "Invariant
        meaning in blocks" rule.
        * cs-parser.jay (declare_local_variables): Don't use
        AddChildVariableNames.
        (foreach_statement): Don't create an implicit block: 'foreach'
        introduces a scope.

2004-04-23  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * convert.cs (ImplicitNumericConversion): 0 is also positive when
        converting from 0L to ulong.  Fixes 57522.

2004-04-22  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * decl.cs (FindMemberToOverride): Fix wrong warning for case when
        derived class hides via 'new' keyword field from base class (test-242.cs).
        TODO: Handle this in the more general way.
        
        * class.cs (CheckBase): Ditto.

        are defined.
        (MemberCore.cls_compliance): Moved to caching_flags.
        (DeclSpace.Created): Moved to caching_flags.

        * class.cs: Use caching_flags instead of DeclSpace.Created
        
2004-04-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (PropertyExpr.GetAccesor): Only perform the 1540 check
        if we are only a derived class, not a nested class.

        * typemanager.cs: Same as above, but do this at the MemberLookup
        level (used by field and methods, properties are handled in
        PropertyExpr).   Allow for the qualified access if we are a nested
        method. 

2004-04-21  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * class.cs: Refactoring.
        (IMethodData): New inteface; Holds links to parent members
        to avoid member duplication (reduced memory allocation).
        (Method): Implemented IMethodData interface.
        (PropertyBase): New inner classes for get/set methods.
        (PropertyBase.PropertyMethod): Implemented IMethodData interface
        (Event): New inner classes for add/remove methods.
        (Event.DelegateMethod): Implemented IMethodData interface.

2004-04-21  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * delegate.cs (Delegate.VerifyApplicability): If the number of
        arguments are the same as the number of parameters, first try to
        verify applicability ignoring  any 'params' modifier on the last
        parameter.
        Fixes #56442.

2004-04-16  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.AddIndexer): Use
        'ExplicitInterfaceName' to determine if interface name was
        explicitly specified.  'InterfaceType' is not initialized at this time.
        (TypeContainer.DefineIndexers): Remove use of temporary list.  The
        Indexers array is already in the required order.  Initialize
        'IndexerName' only if there are normal indexers.
        (TypeContainer.DoDefineMembers): Don't initialize IndexerName.
        (TypeContainer.Emit): Emit DefaultMember attribute only if
        IndexerName is initialized.
        Fixes #56300.

2004-04-15  Benjamin Jemlich  <pcgod@gmx.net>

        * enum.cs (Enum.DefineType): Don't allow char as type for enum.
        Fixes #57007

2004-04-15  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.CheckAttributeType): Check for ambiguous
        attributes.
        Fix for #56456.

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.Resolve): Check for duplicate named
        attributes.
        Fix for #56463.

2004-04-15  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * iterators.cs (MarkYield): track whether we are in an exception,
        and generate code accordingly.  Use a temporary value to store the
        result for our state.

        I had ignored a bit the interaction of try/catch with iterators
        since their behavior was not entirely obvious, but now it is
        possible to verify that our behavior is the same as MS .NET 2.0

        Fixes 54814

2004-04-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * iterators.cs: Avoid creating temporaries if there is no work to
        do. 

        * expression.cs (ArrayAccess.EmitLoadOpcode): If dealing with
        Enumerations, use TypeManager.EnumToUnderlying and call
        recursively. 

        Based on the patch from Benjamin Jemlich (pcgod@gmx.net), fixes
        bug #57013

        (This.Emit): Use EmitContext.EmitThis to emit our
        instance variable.

        (This.EmitAssign): Ditto.

        * ecore.cs (FieldExpr.Emit): Remove RemapToProxy special
        codepaths, we will move all the functionality into
        Mono.CSharp.This 

        (FieldExpr.EmitAssign): Ditto.

        This fixes several hidden bugs that I uncovered while doing a code
        review of this today.

        * codegen.cs (EmitThis): reworked so the semantics are more clear
        and also support value types "this" instances.

        * iterators.cs: Changed so that for iterators in value types, we
        do not pass the value type as a parameter.  

        Initialization of the enumerator helpers is now done in the caller
        instead of passing the parameters to the constructors and having
        the constructor set the fields.

        The fields have now `assembly' visibility instead of private.

2004-04-11  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Argument.Resolve): Check if fields passed as ref
        or out are contained in a MarshalByRefObject.

        * typemanager.cs, rootcontext.cs: Add System.Marshalbyrefobject as
        another compiler type.

2004-04-06 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * class.cs (Indexer.Define): use the new name checking method.
        Also, return false on an error.
        * cs-tokenizer.cs (IsValidIdentifier): Checks for a valid identifier.
        (is_identifier_[start/part]_character): make static.

        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): Do no append strings
        twice: since we can be invoked more than once (array evaluation)
        on the same concatenation, take care of this here.  Based on a fix
        from Ben (bug #56454)

2004-04-08  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * codegen.cs: Fix another case where CS1548 must be reported (when 
        delay-sign isn't specified and no private is available #56564). Fix
        loading the ECMA "key" to delay-sign an assembly. Report a CS1548 
        error when MCS is used on the MS runtime and we need to delay-sign 
        (which seems unsupported by AssemblyBuilder - see #56621).

2004-04-08  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.TypeToCoreType): Handle IntPtr too.

        * typemanager.cs: Add new types to lookup: System.TypedReference
        and ArgIterator.

        * paramter.cs (Parameter.Resolve): if we are an out/ref parameter,
        check for TypedReference or ArgIterator, they are not allowed. 

        * ecore.cs (BoxedCast): Set the eclass to ExprClass.Value, this
        makes us properly catch 1510 in some conditions (see bug 56016 for
        details). 

2004-04-06  Bernie Solomon  <bernard@ugsolutions.com>

        * CryptoConvert.cs: update from corlib version
        with endian fixes.

        (IsIdentifierClsCompliant): New abstract method. This method is
        used to testing error 3005.
        (IsIdentifierAndParamClsCompliant): New method. Common helper method

        (VerifyClsCompliance): New method. The main virtual method for
        CLS-Compliant verifications.

        (VerifyClsCompliance): New override.
        (GetEnumeratorName): Returns full enum name.

2004-03-30  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Add a rule to catch wrong event syntax instead of
        throwing a parser error.

        * ecore.cs (PropertyExpr.GetAccessor): Apply patch from Patrik Reali
        which removes the hardcoded get_/set_ prefixes for properties, as
        IL allows for the properties to be named something else.  

        Bug #56013

        * expression.cs: Do not override operand before we know if it is
        non-null.  Fix 56207

2004-03-29 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * typemanager.cs: support for pinned variables.

2004-03-29 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * decl.cs, typemanager.cs: Avoid using an arraylist
        as a buffer if there is only one result set.

2004-03-29 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * expression.cs: Make sure you cant call a static method
        with an instance expression, bug #56174.

2004-03-29  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (IsDuplicateImplementation): Improve error reporting to
        flag 663 (method only differs in parameter modifier).

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Do not require whitespace when a ( or " will do
        in preprocessor directives.

        * location.cs (LookupFile): Allow for the empty path.

        * attribute.cs (DefinePInvokeMethod): Fix 56148;  I would like a
        better approach for some of that patch, but its failing with the
        CharSet enumeration.  For now try/catch will do.

        * typemanager.cs: Do not crash if a struct does not have fields.
        Fixes 56150.

2004-03-28 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * expression.cs: cs0213, cant fix a fixed expression.
        fixes 50231.

2004-03-28 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * cs-parser.jay: detect invalid embeded statements gracefully.
        bug #51113.

2004-03-28 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * ecore.cs, typemanager.cs: Correct impl of cs1540 check.
        As a regex:
        s/
        the invocation type may not be a subclass of the tye of the item/
        The type of the item must be a subclass of the invocation item.
        /g

        Fixes bug #50820.

2004-03-25  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs: Added methods to get a string and a bool from an
        attribute. Required to information from AssemblyKeyFileAttribute,
        AttributeKeyNameAttribute (string) and AssemblyDelaySign (bool).
        * codegen.cs: Modified AssemblyName creation to include support for
        strongnames. Catch additional exceptions to report them as CS1548.
        * compiler.csproj: Updated include CryptoConvert.cs.
        * compiler.csproj.user: Removed file - user specific configuration.
        * CryptoConvert.cs: New. A COPY of the class CryptoConvert from 
        Mono.Security assembly. The original class is maintained and tested in
        /mcs/class/Mono.Security/Mono.Security.Cryptography/CryptoConvert.cs.
        * drivers.cs: Added support for /keyfile, /keycontainer and /delaysign
        like CSC 8.0 (C# v2) supports.
        * Makefile: Added CryptoConvert.cs to mcs sources.
        * rootcontext.cs: Added new options for strongnames.

2004-03-24 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * driver.cs: For --expect-error, report error code `2'
        if the program compiled with no errors, error code `1' if
        it compiled with an error other than the one expected.

2004-03-24  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * compiler.csproj: Updated for Visual Studio .NET 2003.
        * compiler.csproj.user: Updated for Visual Studio .NET 2003.
        * compiler.sln: Updated for Visual Studio .NET 2003.

2004-03-24  Ravi Pratap M  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs: Fix bug #47234. We basically need to apply the
        rule that we prefer the conversion of null to a reference type
        when faced with a conversion to 'object' (csc behaviour).

2004-03-23 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * statement.cs: Shorter form for foreach, eliminates
        a local variable. r=Martin.

2004-03-23 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * constant.cs, ecore.cs, literal.cs: New prop IsZeroInteger that
        checks if we can use brtrue/brfalse to test for 0.
        * expression.cs: use the above in the test for using brtrue/brfalse.
        cleanup code a bit.

2004-03-23 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * expression.cs: Rewrite string concat stuff. Benefits:

        - "a" + foo + "b" + "c" becomes "a" + foo + "bc"
        - "a" + foo + "b" + bar + "c" + baz ... uses concat (string []).
        rather than a concat chain.

        * typemanager.cs: Add lookups for more concat overloads.

2004-03-23 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * expression.cs: Emit shorter il code for array init.

        newarr
        dup
        // set 1

        // set 2

        newarr
        stloc.x

        ldloc.x
        // set 1

        ldloc.x
        // set 2

2004-03-22 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * statement.cs: Before, two switch blocks would be merged if the
        total size of the blocks (end_item - begin_item + 1) was less than
        two times the combined sizes of the blocks.

        Now, it will only merge if after the merge at least half of the
        slots are filled.

        fixes 55885.

2004-03-20  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * class.cs : csc build fix for GetMethods(). See bug #52503.

2004-03-20 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * expression.cs: Make sure fp comparisons work with NaN.
        This fixes bug #54303. Mig approved this patch a long
        time ago, but we were not able to test b/c the runtime
        had a related bug.

2004-03-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (TypExpr.GetHashCode): implement this overload. 

2004-03-19  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (MemberCore.IsDuplicateImplementation): Report the
        error here and not in our caller.

2004-03-19  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * interface.cs: Completely killed this file.
        (Interface): We're now a TypeContainer and live in class.cs.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.GetClassBases): Added `bool is_iface'
        argument; we're now also called for interfaces.
        (TypeContainer.DefineMembers): Allow this method being called
        multiple times.
        (TypeContainer.GetMethods): New public method; formerly known as
        Interface.GetMethod().  This is used by PendingImplementation.
        (TypeContainer.EmitDefaultMemberAttr): Moved here from Interface;
        it's now private and non-static.
        (Interface): Moved this here; it's now implemented similar to
        Class and Struct.
        (Method, Property, Event, Indexer): Added `bool is_interface'
        argument to their .ctor's.
        (MemberBase.IsInterface): New public field.

        * cs-parser.jay: Create normal Method, Property, Event, Indexer
        instances instead of InterfaceMethod, InterfaceProperty, etc.
        (opt_interface_base): Removed; we now use `opt_class_base' instead.
        (InterfaceAccessorInfo): Create `Get' and `Set' Accessor's.

2004-03-19  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (MethodCore.IsDuplicateImplementation): New private
        method which does the CS0111 checking.
        (Method.CheckBase, Constructor.CheckBase, PropertyBase.CheckBase):
        Use IsDuplicateImplementation().

2004-03-17 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * decl.cs (FindMemberToOverride): New method to find the correct
        method or property to override in the base class.
        * class.cs
            - Make Method/Property use the above method to find the
              version in the base class.
            - Remove the InheritableMemberSignatureCompare as it is now
              dead code.

        This patch makes large code bases much faster to compile, as it is
        O(n) rather than O(n^2) to do this validation.

        Also, it fixes bug 52458 which is that nested classes are not
        taken into account when finding the base class member.

        Reviewed/Approved by Martin.

2004-03-17  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * interface.cs: In all interface classes removed redundant
        member initialization.

2004-03-16  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.GetClassBases): Fix the CS0528 check.

2004-03-15  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * decl.cs (DefineTypeAndParents): New helper method to define a
        type's containers before the type itself is defined;  This is a
        bug exposed by the recent changes to Windows.Forms when an
        implemented interface was defined inside a class that had not been
        built yet.   

        * modifiers.cs (MethodAttr): All methods in C# are HideBySig.

        (Check): Loop correctly to report errors modifiers
        (UNSAFE was not in the loop, since it was the same as TOP).

        * interface.cs: Every interface member now takes a ModFlags,
        instead of a "is_new" bool, which we set on the base MemberCore. 

        Every place where we called "UnsafeOk" in the interface, now we
        call the proper member (InterfaceMethod.UnsafeOK) instead to get
        the unsafe settings from the member declaration instead of the
        container interface. 

        * cs-parser.jay (opt_new): Allow unsafe here per the spec. 

        * pending.cs (TypeAndMethods): Add `get_indexer_name' and
        `set_indexer_name' to the pending bits (one per type).

        We fixed a bug today that was picking the wrong method to
        override, since for properties the existing InterfaceMethod code
        basically ignored the method name.  Now we make sure that the
        method name is one of the valid indexer names.

2004-03-14  Gustavo Giráldez  <gustavo.giraldez@gmx.net>
 
        * support.cs (SeekableStreamReader): Keep track of stream byte
        positions and don't mix them with character offsets to the buffer.

        Patch from Gustavo Giráldez

2004-03-15  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * interface.cs (InterfaceSetGetBase): Removed double member
        initialization, base class does it as well.

2004-03-13  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs: Reverted Miguel's latest commit; it makes mcs crash
        when compiling corlib.

2004-03-13  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * convert.cs (ExplicitConversion): We were reporting an error on
        certain conversions (object_type source to a value type, when the
        expression was `null') before we had a chance to pass it through
        the user defined conversions.

        * driver.cs: Replace / and \ in resource specifications to dots.
        Fixes 50752

        * class.cs: Add check for duplicate operators.  Fixes 52477

2004-03-11  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Switch.SimpleSwitchEmit): Deal with default labels
        that are in the middle of the statements, not only at the end.
        Fixes #54987

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.AddField): No longer set the
        `HaveStaticConstructor' flag, now we call it
        `UserDefineStaticConstructor' to diferentiate the slightly
        semantic difference.

        The situation is that we were not adding BeforeFieldInit (from
        Modifiers.TypeAttr) to classes that could have it.
        BeforeFieldInit should be set to classes that have no static
        constructor. 

        See:

        http://www.yoda.arachsys.com/csharp/beforefieldinit.html

        And most importantly Zoltan's comment:

        http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44229

        "I think beforefieldinit means 'it's ok to initialize the type sometime 
         before its static fields are used', i.e. initialization does not need
         to be triggered by the first access to the type. Setting this flag
         helps the JIT to compile better code, since it can run the static
         constructor at JIT time, and does not need to generate code to call it
         (possibly lots of times) at runtime. Unfortunately, mcs does not set
         this flag for lots of classes like String. 
         
         csc sets this flag if the type does not have an explicit static 
         constructor. The reasoning seems to be that if there are only static
         initalizers for a type, and no static constructor, then the programmer
         does not care when this initialization happens, so beforefieldinit
         can be used.
         
         This bug prevents the AOT compiler from being usable, since it 
         generates so many calls to mono_runtime_class_init that the AOT code
         is much slower than the JITted code. The JITted code is faster, 
         because it does not generate these calls if the vtable is type is
         already initialized, which is true in the majority of cases. But the
         AOT compiler can't do this."

        * class.cs (MethodData.Emit): Refactor the code so symbolic
        information is generated for destructors;  For some reasons we

        before. 

2004-03-11 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * class.cs: Create a Constructor.CheckBase method that
        takes care of all validation type code. The method
        contains some code that was moved from Define.

        It also includes new code that checks for duplicate ctors.
        This fixes bug #55148.

        * expression.cs (ArrayCreation): Fix: More than 6 nulls in
        a { ... }-style array creation invokes EmitStaticInitializers
        which is not good for reference-type arrays.  String, decimal
        and now null constants (NullCast) are not counted toward
        static initializers.

2004-03-05  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * location.cs (SourceFile.HasLineDirective): New public field;

        directive.
        (Location.DefineSymbolDocuments): Ignore source files which
        either contain or are referenced by a "#line" directive.        

2004-02-29  Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * class.cs (Method.CheckBase): Avoid using FindMembers, we have
        direct access to our parent, so check the method inline there.

2004-02-27 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * expression.cs (Invocation.EmitCall): Miguel's last commit
        caused a regression. If you had:

            T t = null;
            t.Foo ();

        In Foo the implict this would be null.

2004-02-27  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Invocation.EmitCall): If the method is not
        virtual, do not emit a CallVirt to it, use Call.

        * typemanager.cs (GetFullNameSignature): Improve the method to
        cope with ".ctor" and replace it with the type name.

        * class.cs (ConstructorInitializer.Resolve): Now the method takes
        as an argument the ConstructorBuilder where it is being defined,
        to catch the recursive constructor invocations.

2004-02-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * iterators.cs (IteratorHandler.IsIEnumerator, IsIEnumerable): New
        routines to check if a type is an enumerable/enumerator allow
        classes that implement the IEnumerable or IEnumerator interfaces.

        * class.cs (Property, Operator): Implement IIteratorContainer, and
        implement SetYields.

        (Property.Define): Do the block swapping for get_methods in the
        context of iterators.   We need to check if Properties also
        include indexers or not.

        (Operator): Assign the Block before invoking the
        OperatorMethod.Define, so we can trigger the Iterator code
        replacement. 

        * cs-parser.jay (SimpleIteratorContainer): new helper class.  Both
        Property and Operator classes are not created when we parse the
        declarator but until we have the block completed, so we use a
        singleton SimpleIteratorContainer.Simple to flag whether the
        SetYields has been invoked.

        We propagate this setting then to the Property or the Operator to
        allow the `yield' to function.

2004-02-25  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * codegen.cs: Implemented attribute support for modules.
        New AssemblyClass, ModuleClass and CommonAssemblyModulClass for
        Assembly/Module functionality.

        * attribute.cs, class.cs, cs-parser.jay, delegate.cs, driver.cs, enum.cs
        interface.cs, rootcontext.cs, statement.cs, typemanager.cs:
        Updated dependencies on CodeGen.ModuleBuilder and CodeGen.AssemblyBuilder.

2004-02-16  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * interface.cs (FindMembers): The operation is performed on all base
        interfaces and not only on the first. It is required for future CLS Compliance patch.

2004-02-12 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * statement.cs, codegen.cs:
        This patch deals with patterns such as:

        public class List : IEnumerable {

                public MyEnumerator GetEnumerator () {
                        return new MyEnumerator(this);
                }

                IEnumerator IEnumerable.GetEnumerator () {
                        ...
                }
                
                public struct MyEnumerator : IEnumerator {
                        ...
                }
        }

        Before, there were a few things we did wrong:
        1) we would emit callvirt on a struct, which is illegal
        2) we emited ldarg when we needed to emit ldarga
        3) we would mistakenly call the interface methods on an enumerator
        type that derived from IEnumerator and was in another assembly. For example:

        public class MyEnumerator : IEnumerator

        Would have the interface methods called, even if there were public impls of the
        method. In a struct, this lead to invalid IL code.

2004-02-11  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * const.cs: Const is now derived from FieldBase. Method EmitConstant name
          renamed to Emit.

        * delegate.cs (Define): Fixed crash when delegate type is undefined.

2004-02-11  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Fix small regression: we were not testing V2
        compiler features correctly.

        * interface.cs: If the emit context is null, then create one

2004-02-09  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * decl.cs (GetSignatureForError): New virtual method to get full name
          for error messages.

        * attribute.cs (IAttributeSupport): New interface for attribute setting.
          Now it is possible to rewrite ApplyAttributes method to be less if/else.

        * interface.cs : All InterfaceXXX classes are now derived from MemberCore.
          Duplicated members and code in these classes has been removed.
          Better encapsulation in these classes.

2004-02-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * assign.cs (Assign.DoResolve): When dealing with compound
        assignments, there is a new rule in ECMA C# 2.4 (might have been
        there before, but it is documented here) that states that in:

        a op= b;

        If b is of type int, and the `op' is a shift-operator, then the
        above is evaluated as:

        a = (int) a op b 

        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): Instead of testing for
        int/uint/long/ulong, try to implicitly convert to any of those
        types and use that in pointer arithmetic.

        * delegate.cs (Error_NoMatchingMethodForDelegate): Compute the
        method to print information for from the type, not from the
        null-method we were given.

2004-02-01  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (get_cmd_arg): Skip over whitespace before
        parsing for cmd, fixes bug #53694.

2004-02-04  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * class.cs, decl.cs: Fixed problem where IndexerName attribute was ignored
        in the member name duplication tests. Property and operator name duplication
        was missing too (error tests cs0102-{2,3,4,5}.cs, cs0111-{3,4}.cs).

2004-02-03  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * interface.cs (PopulateMethod): Fixed crash when interface method
        returns not existing type (error test cs0246-3.cs).

2004-02-02  Ravi Pratap M <ravi@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay (interface_accessors): Re-write actions to also
        store attributes attached to get and set methods. Fix spelling
        while at it.

        (inteface_property_declaration): Modify accordingly.

        (InterfaceAccessorInfo): New helper class to store information to pass
        around between rules that use interface_accessors.

        * interface.cs (Emit): Apply attributes on the get and set
        accessors of properties and indexers too.

        * attribute.cs (ApplyAttributes): Modify accordingly to use the
        right MethodBuilder when applying attributes to the get and set accessors.

2004-01-31  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Applied patch from Marek Safar to fix bug 53386

2004-01-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Handle #line hidden from PDC bits.

2004-01-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Remove YIELD token, instead use the new grammar
        changes that treat `yield' specially when present before `break'
        or `return' tokens.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: yield is no longer a keyword.

2004-01-23  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * cs-parser.jay, class.cs (DefineDefaultConstructor): Fixed ModFlags
        setting for default constructors.
        For default constructors are almost every time set wrong Modifier. The
        generated IL code has been alright. But inside mcs this values was
        wrong and this was reason why several of my CLS Compliance tests
        failed.

2004-01-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay (namespace_or_type_name): Return an Expression,
        not a QualifiedIdentifier.  This is what `type_name_expression'
        was previously doing.
        (type_name_expression): Removed; the code is now in
        `namespace_or_type_name'.
        (qualified_identifier): Removed, use `namespace_or_type_name'
        instead.
        (QualifiedIdentifier): Removed this class.      

2004-01-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * namespace.cs (NamespaceEntry.UsingAlias): Take an Expression,
        not a string as alias name.

2004-01-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (FieldInfo.AddressOf): Revert patch from previous
        #52730 bug, and instead compute correctly the need to use a
        temporary variable when requesting an address based on the
        static/instace modified of the field and the constructor.
 
2004-01-21  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName.ResolveAsTypeStep): Lookup in the current
        class and namespace before looking up aliases.  Fixes #52517.

2004-01-21  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * flowanalysis.cs (UsageVector.Merge): Allow variables being
        assinged in a 'try'; fixes exception4.cs.

2004-01-21  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>
        * class.cs : Implemented parameter-less constructor for TypeContainer

        * decl.cs: Attributes are now stored here. New property OptAttributes

        * delegate.cs, enum.cs, interface.cs: Removed attribute member.

        * rootcontext.cs, tree.cs: Now use parameter-less constructor of TypeContainer

2004-01-21  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * typemanager.cs (CSharpSignature): Now reports also inner class name.
          (CSharpSignature): New method for indexer and property signature.

2004-01-21  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * pending.cs (IsVirtualFilter): Faster implementation.

2004-01-21  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * typemanager.cs: Avoid inclusion of same assembly more than once.

2004-01-21  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * cs-parser.jay: Fixed problem where the last assembly attribute
          has been applied also to following declaration (class, struct, etc.)
          
2004-01-21  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * class.cs: Added error CS0538, CS0539 reporting.
        Fixed crash on Microsoft runtime when field type is void.

        * cs-parser.jay: Added error CS0537 reporting.

        * pending.cs: Added error CS0535 reporting.
        Improved error report for errors CS0536, CS0534.

2004-01-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        Merge a few bits from the Anonymous Method MCS tree.

        * statement.cs (ToplevelBlock): New class for toplevel methods,
        will hold anonymous methods, lifted variables.

        * cs-parser.jay: Create toplevel blocks for delegates and for
        regular blocks of code. 

2004-01-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext): Removed `InTry', `InCatch',
        `InFinally', `InLoop', `TryCatchLevel', `LoopBeginTryCatchLevel'
        and `NeedExplicitReturn'; added `IsLastStatement'.
        (EmitContext.EmitTopBlock): Emit the explicit "ret" if we either
        have a `ReturnLabel' or we're not unreachable.

        * flowanalysis.cs (FlowBranching.MergeChild): Actually merge the
        child's reachability; don't just override ours with it.  Fixes
        #58058 (lluis's example).
        (FlowBranching): Added public InTryOrCatch(), InCatch(),
        InFinally(), InLoop(), InSwitch() and
        BreakCrossesTryCatchBoundary() methods.

        * statement.cs (Return): Do all error checking in Resolve().
        Unless we are the last statement in a top-level block, always
        create a return label and jump to it.
        (Break, Continue): Do all error checking in Resolve(); also make
        sure we aren't leaving a `finally'.
        (Block.DoEmit): Set `ec.IsLastStatement' when emitting the last
        statement in a top-level block.
        (Block.Flags): Added `IsDestructor'.
        (Block.IsDestructor): New public property.

2004-01-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Break.DoEmit): Set ec.NeedExplicitReturn; fixes #52427.

2004-01-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Statement.ResolveUnreachable): New public method.
        (If, While): Do the dead-code elimination in Resolve(), not in Emit().
        (Block.Resolve): Resolve unreachable statements.

2004-01-19 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * expression.cs: We need to fix the case where we do
        not have a temp variable here.

        * assign.cs: Only expression compound assignments need
        temporary variables.

2004-01-19 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * flowanalysis.cs: Reduce memory allocation in a few ways:
          - A block with no variables should not allocate a bit
            vector for itself.
          - A method with no out parameters does not need any tracking
            for assignment of the parameters, so we need not allocate
            any data for it.
          - The arrays:
                public readonly Type[] VariableTypes;
                public readonly string[] VariableNames;
            Are redundant. The data is already stored in the variable
            map, so we need not allocate another array for it.
          - We need to add alot of checks for if (params | locals) == null
            due to the first two changes.

2004-01-18  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (FieldExpr.AddressOf): For ValueTypes that do not
        implement IMemoryLocation, we store a copy on a local variable and
        take the address of it.  Patch from Benjamin Jemlich

        * cs-parser.jay: Applied patch from Ben Maurer to the "type" rule
        to use a special "type_name_expression" rule which reduces the
        number of "QualifiedIdentifier" classes created, and instead
        directly creates MemberAccess expressions.

2004-01-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * convert.cs: Applied patch from Benjamin Jemlich (pcgod@gmx.net)
        that fixes #52853.  Null literal assignment to ValueType

        * class.cs (MethodData.Emit): Instead of checking the name of the
        method to determine if its a destructor, create a new derived
        class from Method called Destructor, and test for that.  

        * cs-parser.jay: Create a Destructor object instead of a Method.  

        Based on a fix from Benjamin Jemlich (pcgod@gmx.net)

        Fixes: 52933

2004-01-16  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): Perform an implicit
        conversion from MethodGroups to their delegate types on the
        Addition operation.

        * delegate.cs: Introduce a new class DelegateCreation that is the
        base class for `NewDelegate' and `ImplicitDelegateCreation',
        factor some code in here.

        * convert.cs (Convert.ImplicitConversionStandard): Add an implicit
        conversion from MethodGroups to compatible delegate types. 

        * ecore.cs (Expression.Resolve): Do not flag error 654
        (Methodgroupd needs parenthesis) if running on the V2 compiler, as
        we allow conversions from MethodGroups to delegate types now.

        * assign.cs (Assign.DoResolve): Do not flag errors on methodgroup
        assignments in v2 either.

2004-01-10  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (FieldExpr.AddressOf): Fix generated IL for accessing
        static read-only fields in ctors.

        Applied patch from Benjamin Jemlich 

        * expression.cs (UnaryMutator): Avoid leaking local variables. 

2004-01-09  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (IsCastToken): Allow the various native types
        here to return true, as they can be used like this:

                (XXX) int.MEMBER ()

        Fixed 49836 and all the other dups

2004-01-09  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * driver.cs: Implement /win32res and /win32icon.

2004-01-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Add a rule to improve error handling for the
        common mistake of placing modifiers after the type.

2004-01-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay (interface_event_declaration): Catch
        initialization of events on interfaces, and report cs0068

        * cs-parser.jay (interface_event_declaration): Catch
        initialization of events. 

        * ecore.cs: Better report missing constructors.

        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): My previous bug fix had
        the error reporting done in the wrong place.  Fix.

        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): Catch the 
        operator + (E x, E y) error earlier, and later allow for implicit
        conversions in operator +/- (E e, U x) from U to the underlying
        type of E.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.DefineDefaultConstructor): Fix bug
        52596, if the container class is abstract, the default constructor
        is protected otherwise its public (before, we were always public).

        * statement.cs (Fixed.Resolve): Catch a couple more errors in the
        fixed statement.

        (Using.EmitLocalVariableDecls): Applied patch from Benjamin
        Jemlich that fixes bug #52597, MCS was generating invalid code for
        idisposable structs.   Thanks to Ben for following up with this
        bug as well.

2004-01-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: Allow assemblies without code to be generated, fixes
        52230.

2004-01-07  Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * attribute.cs: Remove unneeded catch variables. Eliminates a warning.

2004-01-05  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Add rules to improve error reporting if fields or
        methods are declared at the namespace level (error 116)

        * Add rules to catch event add/remove

2004-01-04  David Sheldon <dave-mono@earth.li>

  * expression.cs: Added matching ")" to error message for 
  CS0077

2004-01-03 Todd Berman <tberman@gentoo.org>

        * ecore.cs, attribute.cs:
        Applying fix from #52429.

2004-01-03 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * ecore.cs, expression.cs, statement.cs:
        Total rewrite of how we handle branching. We
        now handle complex boolean expressions with fewer
        jumps. As well if (x == 0) no longer emits a ceq.

        if (x is Foo) is much faster now, because we generate
        better code.

        Overall, we get a pretty big improvement on our benchmark
        tests. The code we generate is smaller and more readable.

        I did a full two-stage bootstrap. The patch was reviewed
        by Martin and Miguel.

2004-01-03 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * cs-parser.jay: Make primary_expression not take a QI.
        we dont need this because the member_access rule covers
        us here. So we replace the rule with just IDENTIFIER.

        This has two good effects. First, we remove a s/r conflict.
        Second, we allocate many fewer QualifiedIdentifier objects.

2004-01-03 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * attribute.cs: Handle MarshalAs attributes as pseudo, and
        set the correct information via SRE. This prevents
        hanging on the MS runtime. Fixes #29374.

2004-01-03 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * convert.cs: correctly handle conversions to value types
        from Enum and ValueType as unboxing conversions.

        Fixes bug #52569. Patch by Benjamin Jemlich.

2004-01-02  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (BetterConversion): Prefer int -> uint
        over int -> ulong (csc's behaviour). This fixed bug #52046.

2004-01-02 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * decl.cs (MemberCache.FindMembers): now returns a
        MemberInfo [].

        * typemanager.cs: In general, go with with ^^.
        (CopyNewMethods): take an IList.
        (RealMemberLookup): Only allocate an arraylist
        if we copy from two sets of methods.

        This change basically does two things:
        1) Fewer array lists allocated due to CopyNewMethods.
        2) the explicit cast in MemberList costed ALOT.

2004-01-02  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (consume_identifier) driver.cs: Cache identifiers in
        a hashtable to avoid needless string allocations when an identifier is
        used more than once (the common case).

2004-01-01 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * pending.cs: MS's TypeBuilder.GetInterfaces ()
        is broken, it will not return anything. So, we
        have to use the information we have in mcs to
        do the task.

        * typemanager.cs: Add a cache for GetInterfaces,
        since this will now be used more often (due to ^^)

        (GetExplicitInterfaces) New method that gets the
        declared, not effective, interfaces on a type
        builder (eg, if you have interface IFoo, interface
        IBar, Foo : IFoo, Bar : Foo, IBar, GetExplInt (Bar) ==
        { IBar }.

        This patch makes MCS able to bootstrap itself on
        Windows again.

2004-01-01 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * expression.cs: Remove the Nop's that Miguel put
        in by mistake.

2003-12-31 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * report.cs, codegen.cs: Give the real stack trace to
        the error when an exception is thrown.

2003-12-31 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * decl.cs: only allocate hashtables for ifaces if 
        it is an iface!

2003-12-31 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * expression.cs: fix the error from cs0121-2.cs
        (a parent interface has two child interfaces that
        have a function with the same name and 0 params
        and the function is called through the parent).

2003-12-30 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * class.cs, rootcontext.cs, typmanager.cs: do not
        leak pointers.

2003-12-28 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * codegen.cs: remove stack for the ec flow branching.
        It is already a linked list, so no need.

2003-12-27 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Makefile: Allow custom profiler here.

2003-12-26 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * typemanager.cs (LookupType):
          - Use a static char [], because split takes
            a param array for args, so it was allocating
            every time.
          - Do not store true in a hashtable, it boxes.

2003-12-26 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * flowanalysis.cs: bytify common enums.

2003-12-25 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * modifiers.cs: Add a new set of flags for the
        flags allowed on explicit interface impls.
        * cs-parser.jay: catch the use of modifiers in
        interfaces correctly.
        * class.cs: catch private void IFoo.Blah ().

        All related to bug #50572.

2003-12-25 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * decl.cs: Rewrite the consistant accessability checking.
        Accessability is not linear, it must be implemented in
        a tableish way. Fixes #49704.

2003-12-25 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * expression.cs: Handle negation in a checked context.
        We must use subtraction from zero. Fixes #38674.

2003-12-23 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * class.cs: Ignore static void main in DLLs.
        * rootcontext.cs: Handle the target type here,
        since we are have to access it from class.cs
        * driver.cs: account for the above.

2003-12-23 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * report.cs: Give line numbers and files if available.

2003-12-20  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * driver.cs: Implement /addmodule.

        * typemanager.cs:  Change 'modules' field so it now contains Modules not
        ModuleBuilders.

2003-12-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.DefineMembers): Don't do the CS0649 check here.
        (FieldBase.IsAssigned): Removed this field.
        (FieldBase.SetAssigned): New public method.
        (TypeContainer.Emit): Make the CS0169/CS0649 checks actually work.

2003-12-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (LocalVariableReference.DoResolve): Don't set
        `vi.Used' if we're called from DoResolveLValue().

        * statement.cs (Block.DoResolve): `ec.DoEndFlowBranching()' now
        returns the usage vector it just merged into the current one -
        pass this one to UsageWarning().
        (Block.UsageWarning): Take the `FlowBranching.UsageVector' instead
        of the `EmitContext', don't call this recursively on our children.

2003-12-19  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * driver.cs: Implement /target:module.

2003-12-18  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * support.cs (CharArrayHashtable): New helper class.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Store keywords in a hashtable indexed by 
        char arrays, not strings, so we can avoid creating a string in
        consume_identifier if the identifier is a keyword.

2003-12-16  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (LocalInfo.Assigned): Removed this property.
        (LocalInfo.Flags): Removed `Assigned'.
        (LocalInfo.IsAssigned): New public method; takes the EmitContext
        and uses flow analysis.
        (Block.UsageWarning): Made this method private.
        (Block.Resolve): Call UsageWarning() if appropriate.

        * expression.cs (LocalVariableReference.DoResolve): Always set
        LocalInfo.Used here.

2003-12-13  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Statement.DoEmit, Statement.Emit): Don't return
        any value here; we're now using flow analysis to figure out
        whether a statement/block returns a value.

2003-12-13  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * flowanalysis.cs (UsageVector.MergeFinallyOrigins): Made this
        working again.
        (FlowBranching.MergeFinally): Don't call
        `branching.CheckOutParameters()' here, this is called in
        MergeTopBlock().
        (FlowBranchingException.AddSibling): Call MergeFinallyOrigins()
        when adding the `finally' vector.       

2003-12-13  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * flowanalysis.cs
        (UsageVector.MergeJumpOrigins, FlowBranching.Label): Make this
        actually work and also fix #48962.

2003-12-12 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * decl.cs: Do not check System.Object for nested types,
        since we know it does not have any. Big bang for buck:

        BEFORE:
           Run 1:   8.35 seconds
           Run 2:   8.32 seconds
           corlib:  17.99 seconds
        AFTER:
           Run 1:   8.17 seconds
           Run 2:   8.17 seconds
           corlib:  17.39 seconds

2003-12-11 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * class.cs (FindMembers): Allocate arraylists on demand. Most of the
        time we are returning 0 members, so we save alot here.

2003-12-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * flowanalysis.cs (UsageVector.MergeResult): Renamed this back to
        `MergeChild()', also just take the `FlowBranching' as argument;
        call Merge() on it and return the result.
        (FlowBranching.Merge): We don't need to do anything if we just
        have one sibling.

2003-12-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * flowanalysis.cs: Use a list of `UsageVector's instead of storing
        them in an `ArrayList' to reduce memory usage.  Thanks to Ben
        Maurer for this idea.

2003-12-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * flowanalysis.cs (MergeResult): This class is now gone; we now
        use the `UsageVector' for this.  The reason for this is that if a
        branching just has one sibling, we don't need to "merge" them at
        all - that's the next step to do.
        (FlowBranching.Merge): We now return a `UsageVector' instead of a
        `MergeResult'.

2003-12-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        Reworked flow analyis and made it more precise and bug-free.  The
        most important change is that we're now using a special `Reachability'
        class instead of having "magic" meanings of `FlowReturns'.  I'll
        do some more cleanups and optimizations and also add some more
        documentation this week.

        * flowanalysis.cs (Reachability): Added `Throws' and `Barrier';
        largely reworked this class.
        (FlowReturns): Removed `Unreachable' and `Exception'; we now use
        the new `Reachability' class instead of having "magic" values here.
        (FlowBranching): We're now using an instance of `Reachability'
        instead of having separate `Returns', `Breaks' etc. fields.

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.EmitTopBlock): Set `has_ret' solely
        based on flow analysis; ignore the return value of block.Emit ().

2003-12-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * driver.cs typemanager.cs: Find the mono extensions to corlib even
        if they are private.

2003-12-09  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * flowanalyis.cs (FlowBranching.Return, Goto, Throw): Removed;
        call them directly on the UsageVector.

2003-12-09  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * flowanalysis.cs (FlowBranching.MergeChild, MergeTopBlock):
        Changed return type from `FlowReturns' to `Reachability'.

2003-12-09  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * flowanalysis.cs (FlowBranching.Reachability): New sealed class.
        (FlowBranching.MergeResult): Replaced the `Returns', `Breaks' and
        `Reachable' fields with a single `Reachability' one.

2003-12-08 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * class.cs (FindMembers): Remove foreach's.

        Bootstrap times:

        BEFORE
                Run 1:   8.74 seconds
                Run 2:   8.71 seconds

                Run 1:   8.64 seconds
                Run 2:   8.58 seconds


2003-12-08 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * cs-parser.jay:
        * gen-treedump.cs:
        * statement.cs:
        This patch does a few things:
                1. EmptyStatement is now a singleton, so it is never reallocated.
                2. All blah is EmptyStatement constructs have been changed to
                   blah == EmptyStatement.Value, which is much faster and valid
                   now that EmptyStatement is a singleton.
                3. When resolving a block, rather than allocating a new array for
                   the non-empty statements, empty statements are replaced with
                   EmptyStatement.Value
                4. Some recursive functions have been made non-recursive.
        Mainly the performance impact is from (3), however (1) and (2) are needed for
        this to work. (4) does not make a big difference in normal situations, however
        it makes the profile look saner.

2003-12-08 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * support.cs: Rewrite DoubleHash to use its own impl. Is faster
        than the hashtable in a hashtable version

        * decl.cs: Right now, whenever we try to lookup a type inside a namespace,
        we always end up concating a string. This results in a huge perf
        loss, because many strings have to be tracked by the GC. In this
        patch, we first use a hashtable that works with two keys, so that
        the strings do not need to be concat'ed.

        Bootstrap times:
        BEFORE
                Run 1:   8.74 seconds
                Run 2:   8.71 seconds

        AFTER
                Run 1:   8.65 seconds
                Run 2:   8.56 seconds

2003-12-08 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Makefile: Add a new target `do-time' that does a quick and simple
        profile, leaving easy to parse output.

2003-12-08  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * codegen.cs (Init): Create the dynamic assembly with 
        AssemblyBuilderAccess.Save, to enable some optimizations in the runtime.

2003-12-02 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * support.cs: Make the PtrHashtable use only one
        instance of its comparer.

2003-11-30  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * typemanager.cs: Fix lookup of GetNamespaces.

2003-11-29  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs: Removed redundant line.

        * statement.cs (Block.Resolve, Block.Emit): Avoid foreach on
        ArrayLists, use for loops with bounds.  

        * flowanalysis.cs (FlowBranching.Merge): Avoid foreach on
        arraylist.

        * expression.cs (Invocation.OverloadResolve): Avoid foreach on
        arraylists, use for loop with bounds.

        The above three changes give us a 0.071 second performance
        improvement out of 3.294 seconds down to 3.223.  On my machine
        the above changes reduced the memory usage by 1,387 KB during
        compiler bootstrap.

        * cs-parser.jay (QualifiedIdentifier): New class used to represent
        QualifiedIdentifiers.  Before we created a new string through
        concatenation, and mostly later on, the result would be
        manipulated by DecomposeQI through string manipulation.

        This reduced the compiler memory usage for bootstrapping from
        59380 KB to 59007 KB on my machine, 373 KB, and also reduced the
        compile times in 0.05 seconds.

2003-11-28  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * support.cs: Do string compares with the Invariant culture.

        * rootcontext.cs: 
        * gen-treedump.cs: 
        * expression.cs: 
        * driver.cs: 
        * decl.cs: 
        * codegen.cs: 
        * class.cs: Use the char forms of IndexOf and LastIndexOf, so that
        the comparison is done with the Invariant culture.

2003-11-27  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Foreach.TryType): Use DeclaredOnly to find the
        GetEnumerator method.

        (ProbeCollectionType): Iterate starting at the most specific type
        upwards looking for a GetEnumerator

        * expression.cs: Shift count can be up to 31 for int/uint and 63
        for long/ulong.

2003-11-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Block.LookupLabel): Also look for the label on the
        children blocks.  Use a hash table to keep track of visited
        nodes. 

        * cfold.cs (IntConstant to UIntConstant mapping): Only return if
        we actually did transform the other operand, otherwise fall back
        to the common codepath that casts to long.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Use the same code pattern as the int case.
        Maybe I should do the parsing myself, and avoid depending on the
        Parse routines to get this done.

2003-11-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs: Apply fix from l_m@pacbell.net (Laurent Morichetti),  
        which fixes bug 51347.  This time test it.

        * expression.cs: Make TypeOfVoid derive from TypeOf, so code in
        attributes for example can not tell the difference between these.
        The difference was only a syntax feature of the language. 

        * attribute.cs: Apply attributes to delegates.

        * delegate.cs: Call the apply attributes method.

2003-11-24  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * convert.cs (TryImplicitIntConversion): One line bug fix: we were
        comparing 0 vs Byte.MinValue, not the value

        (ImplicitConversionRequired): When reporting a conversion error,
        use error 31 to print out the constant error instead of the
        simpler 29.

        * expression.cs: Apply fix from l_m@pacbell.net (Laurent Morichetti),  
        which fixes bug 51347.

2003-11-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: Applied patch from gert.driesen@pandora.be (Gert Driesen) 
        which fixes the -warnaserror command line option.

2003-11-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cfold.cs (DoNumericPromotions): During constant folding of
        additions on UIntConstant, special case intconstants with
        IntConstants like we do on the expression binary operator. 

2003-11-12  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * convert.cs (ImplicitReferenceConversion): We were missing a case
        (System.Enum are not value types or class types, so we need to
        classify them separatedly).

        * driver.cs: We do not support error 2007.

2003-11-12 Jackson Harper <jackson@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: Use corlib.dll or mscorlib.dll when looking up the
        system directory. Also use the full file name so users can
        libraries names mscorlib-o-tron.dll in a non system dir.

2003-11-10  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.ResolveExpressionTypes): Removed.
        (TypeManager.InitCoreTypes): Initialize them here, but instead of
        calling `ResolveType()' on them, directly assign their `Type'.

2003-11-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.GetClassBases): Use TypeExpr's for the
        return value and the `out parent' parameter.
        (TypeContainer.DefineType): Moved the CS0644 check into
        GetClassBases().  Don't pass the interface types to the
        `builder.DefineType()'/`builder.DefineNestedType()', but resolve
        them later and then call `TypeBuilder.AddInterfaceImplementation()'.

        * ecore.cs (TypeExpr.IsAttribute): New property.
        (TypeExpr.GetInterfaces): New method.

        * interface.cs (Interface.GetInterfaceTypeByName): Return a
        TypeExpr instead of a Type.
        (Interface.GetInterfaceBases): Return TypeExpr's instead of Type's.
        (Interface.DefineType): Don't pass the interface types to the
        `builder.Definetype()'/`builder.DefineNestedType()', but resolve
        them later and then call `TypeBulider.AddInterfaceImplementation()'.

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.AddUserType): Take a `TypeExpr[]'
        instead of a `Type[]'.
        (TypeManager.RegisterBuilder): Likewise.
        (TypeManager.AddUserInterface): Likewise.
        (TypeManager.ExpandInterfaces): Take a `Type[]' instead of a
        `Type[]' and also return a `TypeExpr[]'.
        (TypeManager.GetInterfaces): Return a `TypeExpr[]'.

2003-11-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * decl.cs (DeclSpace.ResolveTypeExpr): Return a TypeExpr, not an
        Expression.     

2003-11-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * decl.cs (DeclSpace.GetTypeResolveEmitContext): Call
        TypeManager.ResolveExpressionTypes().

        * ecore.cs (Expression.ResolveAsTypeTerminal): Return a TypeExpr
        instead of an Expression.
        (TypeExpr): This is now an abstract base class for `TypeExpression'.
        (TypeExpression): New public class; formerly known as `TypeExpr'.

        * expression.cs (ComposedCast): Derive from TypeExpr.

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.system_*_expr): These are now
        TypExpr's instead of Expression's.
        (TypeManager.ResolveExpressionTypes): New public static function;
        called from DeclSpace.GetTypeResolveEmitContext() to resolve all
        of them.        

2003-11-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (New.DoResolve): Do not dereference value that
        might be a null return.

        * statement.cs (Block.EmitMeta): Use the Const.ChangeType to make
        sure that the constant value has the right type.  Fixes an
        unreported bug, similar to 50425.

        * const.cs (Const.LookupConstantValue): Call
        ImplicitStandardConversionExists before doing a conversion to
        avoid havng the TypeManager.ChangeType do conversions.

        Reduced the number of casts used

        (Const.ChangeType): New routine to enable reuse of the constant
        type changing code from statement.

        * typemanager.cs (ChangeType): Move common initialization to
        static global variables.

        Fixes #50425.

        * convert.cs (ImplicitReferenceConversion): Somehow we allowed
        every value type to go through, even if it was void.  Fix that. 

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Use is_identifier_start_character on the start
        character of the define, and the is_identifier_part_character for
        the rest of the string.

2003-11-05  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (UnaryMutator.EmitCode): When I updated
        LocalVariableReference.DoResolve, I overdid it, and dropped an
        optimization done on local variable references.

2003-11-04  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs: Convert the return from Ldlen into an int.

2003-10-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * decl.cs (DeclSpace.GetAccessLevel): Handle NotPublic case for
        the accessibility, this is a special case for toplevel non-public
        classes (internal for instance).

2003-10-20  Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * ecore.cs: Fix typo and build.  Needed another right paren.

2003-10-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs: Applied fix from Ben Maurer.   We were handling in the
        `internal' case regular and protected, but not allowing protected
        to be evaluated later.  Bug 49840

2003-10-15  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Switch.TableSwitchEmit): Compare the upper bound
        to kb.Nlast, and not the kb.nFirst to isolate the switch
        statement.

        Extract the underlying type, so enumerations of long/ulong are
        treated like long/ulong.

2003-10-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (New): Overload the meaning of RequestedType to
        track the possible creation of the NewDelegate type, since
        DoResolve is invoked more than once for new constructors on field
        initialization.

        See bugs: #48800 and #37014

        * cs-parser.jay (declare_local_constants): Take an arraylist
        instead of a single constant.

        (local_constant_declaration): It should take a
        constant_declarators, not a constant_declarator.  Fixes 49487

        * convert.cs: Fix error report.

2003-10-13 Jackson Harper <jackson@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (TypeToCoreType): Add float and double this fixes
        bug #49611

2003-10-09  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (MethodCore): Added additional `DeclSpace ds' argument
        to the .ctor.
        (MethodCore.DoDefineParameters): Removed the TypeContainer
        argument; use the DeclSpace which was passed to the .ctor instead.
        (MethodCore.CheckParameter): Take a DeclSpace instead of a
        TypeContainer; we only need a DeclSpace here.

2003-10-09  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (MethodData): Added additional `DeclSpace ds' argument
        to the .ctor.
        (MethodData.Define, MethodData.Emit): Pass the `ds' to the
        EmitContext's .ctor.    

2003-10-09  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * decl.cs (DeclSpace.AsAccessible): Moved here from TypeContainer.
        (AccessLevel, CheckAccessLevel, GetAccessLevel): They're used by
        AsAccessible(), moved them as well.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.AsAccessible): Moved to DeclSpace.

2003-10-08  Atsushi Enomoto <ginga@kit.hi-ho.ne.jp>

        * cs-parser.jay : Renamed yyName to yyNames related to jay.

2003-10-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Binary.Emit.GreatherThanOrEqual): Fix the code
        generation for >=, as spotted by Paolo, bug 48679.  
        Patch from David Waite.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Add handling for #pragma.

        * cs-parser.jay: Allow for both yield and yield return in the
        syntax.  The anti-cobolization of C# fight will go on!

        * class.cs (TypeBuilder.DefineType): Catch error condition here
        (Parent.DefineType erroring out and returning null).

        * expression.cs (ArrayCreation.EmitDynamicInitializers): When
        coping with enumerations variables, we were mistakenly processing
        them as a regular value type instead of built-in types.  Fixes the
        bug #48063

        * typemanager.cs (IsBuiltinOrEnum): New method.

2003-09-30  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Upgrade: yield now needs the return clause.

2003-09-19  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * decl.cs (MemberCache.SetupCacheForInterface): Take a
        `MemberCache parent' argument.  Normally, an interface doesn't
        have a parent type except System.Object, but we use this in gmcs
        for generic type parameters.

2003-09-18  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (TypeHandle.ctor): Set `IsInterface' solely based
        on `type.IsInterface'; don't check whether the type has a parent
        to determine whether it's an interface.

2003-09-15  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.DefineType): Added an error flag to
        avoid reporting duplicate CS0146's ("class definition is
        circular.").

        * driver.cs (Driver.MainDriver): Abort if
        RootContext.ResolveTree() reported any errors.

2003-09-07  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * report.cs (Error, Warning): Added overloaded versions which take
        a `params object[] args' and call String.Format().

2003-09-07  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * decl.cs (DeclSpace..ctor): Don't call
        NamespaceEntry.DefineName() here; do it in RecordDecl() which is
        called from Tree.RecordDecl().  Fixes the CS0101 reporting.
        (DeclSpace.RecordDecl): New method.

        * tree.cs (Tree.RecordDecl): Call ds.RecordDecl().

2003-09-02  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs (CheckAttributeTarget): Ensure that we allow return
        value attributes to be applied to ParameterBuilders.

        * class.cs (MethodCore.LabelParameters): Make static and more
        generic so that it can be used from other places - like interface
        methods, for instance.

        * interface.cs (Interface.Emit): Call LabelParameters before
        emitting attributes on the InterfaceMethod.

2003-08-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName.SimpleNameResolve): Look for members before
        resolving aliases; fixes #47927.

2003-08-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Using.DoResolve): This is internally emitting a
        try/finally clause, so we need to set ec.NeedExplicitReturn if we
        do not always return.  Fixes #47681.

2003-08-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * decl.cs (MemberCore): Moved WarningNotHiding(),
        Error_CannotChangeAccessModifiers() and CheckMethodAgainstBase()
        into MemberBase.
        (AdditionResult): Make this nested in DeclSpace.
        (DeclSpace.ctor): The .ctor now takes an additional NamespaceEntry
        argument; call NamespaceEntry.Define() unless we're nested in a
        class or struct.

        * namespace.cs (Namespace.DefineName): New public function.  This
        is called from DeclSpace's .ctor to add 
        (Namespace.Lookup): Include DeclSpaces in the lookup.

        * class.cs (Operator): Derive from MemberBase, not MemberCore.

        * const.cs (Const): Derive from MemberBase, not MemberCore.     

2003-08-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * convert.cs (Convert.ExplicitReferenceConversion): When
        converting from an interface type to a class, unbox if the target
        type is a struct type.  Fixes #47822.

2003-08-24  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs: fixed the values of MethodFlags. Closes #47855 and
        #47854.

2003-08-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (TypeManager.DefineType): When defining a nested type,
        call DefineType() on our parent; fixes #47801.

2003-08-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (MethodData.Define): While checking if a method is an
        interface implementation, improve the test a bit more to fix #47654.

2003-08-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Probe.DoResolve): Check whether `expr' resolved
        correctly; fixes #47722.

2003-08-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (UnaryMutator.ResolveVariable): If the target is a
        LocalVariableReference, ensure it's not read-only.  Fixes #47536.

        * statement.cs (Fixed.DoResolve): Make all variables read-only. 

2003-08-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (FieldExpr.DoResolveLValue): Static read-only fields
        can only be assigned in static constructors.  Fixes #47161.

2003-08-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        Rewrote and improved the flow analysis code.

        * flowbranching.cs (FlowBranching): Make this class abstract.
        (FlowBranching.CreateBranching): New static function to create a
        new flow branching.
        (FlowBranchingBlock, FlowBranchingException): New classes.
        (FlowBranching.UsageVector.Type): New public readonly field.
        (FlowBranching.UsageVector.Breaks): Removed the setter.
        (FlowBranching.UsageVector.Returns): Removed the setter.
        (FlowBranching.UsageVector): Added Break(), Return(),
        NeverReachable() and Throw() methods to modify the reachability.
        (FlowBranching.UsageVector.MergeChildren): Removed, this is now
        done by FlowBranching.Merge().
        (FlowBranching.UsageVector.MergeChild): New method; merges the
        merge result into the current vector.
        (FlowBranching.Merge): New abstract method to merge a branching.

2003-08-12  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Indirection.CacheTemporaries): Create the
        LocalTemporary with the pointer type, not its element type.

2003-08-10  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: FIRST_KEYWORD, LAST_KEYWORD: used to know if a
        token was a keyword or not.

        Add `error' options where an IDENTIFIER was expected;  Provide
        CheckToken and CheckIdentifierToken convenience error reporting
        functions. 

        Do not use `DeclSpace.Namespace', use `DeclSpace.NamespaceEntry'.

        * decl.cs: Rename `NamespaceEntry Namespace' public field into
        NameSpaceEntry NameSpaceEntry.

        (LookupInterfaceOrClass): Avoid creating a full qualified name
        from namespace and name: avoid doing lookups when we know the
        namespace is non-existant.   Use new Tree.LookupByNamespace which
        looks up DeclSpaces based on their namespace, name pair.

        * driver.cs: Provide a new `parser verbose' to display the
        exception thrown during parsing.  This is turned off by default
        now, so the output of a failure from mcs is more graceful.

        * namespace.cs: Track all the namespaces defined in a hashtable
        for quick lookup.

        (IsNamespace): New method

2003-08-09  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * namespace.cs: Remove redundant call;  Avoid using MakeFQN when
        we know that we need to concatenate (full typename can never be
        null). 

        * class.cs: ditto.

        * statement.cs: Use a bitfield;  Do not initialize to null things
        which are done by the constructor by default.

        * cs-parser.jay: bug fix, parameter was 4, not 3.

        * expression.cs: Just use the property;

        * statement.cs: No need for GetVariableInfo method.

2003-08-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * flowanalysis.cs (FlowReturns): This is now nested in the
        `FlowBranching' class.
        (MyBitVector): Moved this here from statement.cs.
        (FlowBranching.SiblingType): New enum type.
        (FlowBranching.CreateSibling): Added `SiblingType' argument.

2003-08-07  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * flowanalysis.cs (FlowBranchingType): This is now nested in the
        `FlowBranching' class and called `BranchingType'.

2003-08-07  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * flowanalysis.cs: Moved all the control flow analysis code into
        its own file.

2003-08-07  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * assign.cs (Assign.DoResolve): `target' must either be an
        IAssignMethod or an EventAccess; report a CS0131 otherwise.  Fixes
        #37319.

2003-08-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (BinaryMethod): This kind of expression is created by the
        Binary class if it determines that the operator has to be handled
        by a method.

        (BinaryDelegate): This kind of expression is created if we are
        dealing with a + or - operator on delegates.

        (Binary): remove method, argumetns, and DelegateOperator: when
        dealing with methods, 

        * ecore.cs (EventExpr.EmitAddOrRemove): Update to new layout.

        * statement.cs (Block): use bitfields for the three extra booleans
        we had in use.   Remove unused topblock parameter.

        * codegen.cs: Remove unecessary argument to Block.EmitTopBlock

        * assign.cs: Drop extra unneeded tests.

2003-08-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * iterators.cs (Mapvariable): provide a mechanism to use prefixes.

        * statement.cs (Foreach): Use VariableStorage instead of
        LocalBuilders.   

        * codegen.cs (VariableStorage): New class used by clients that
        require a variable stored: locals or fields for variables that
        need to live across yield.

        Maybe provide a convenience api for EmitThis+EmitLoad?

        (GetTemporaryLocal, FreeTemporaryLocal): Recycle
        these bad boys.

2003-08-05  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * codegen.cs (RemapLocal, RemapLocalLValue, RemapParameter,
        RemapParameterLValue): New methods that are used to turn a
        precomputed FieldInfo into an expression like this:

                instance.FieldInfo

        The idea is to use this instead of making LocalVariableReference
        have more than one meaning.

        * cs-parser.jay: Add error production to BASE.

        * ecore.cs: Deal with TypeManager.GetField returning null, which
        is now a valid return value.

        (FieldExprNoAddress): New expression for Fields whose address can
        not be taken.

        * expression.cs (LocalVariableReference): During the resolve
        phases, create new expressions if we are in a remapping context.
        Remove code that dealt with remapping here.

        (ParameterReference): same.

        (ProxyInstance): New expression, like the `This' expression, but
        it is born fully resolved.  We know what we are doing, so remove
        the errors that are targeted to user-provided uses of `this'.

        * statement.cs (Foreach): our variable is now stored as an
        Expression;  During resolution, follow the protocol, dont just
        assume it will return this.

2003-08-06  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * support.cs (SeekableStreamReader.cs): New public class.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs, cs-parser.jay, driver.cs: Use the new
        SeekableStreamReader instead of the normal StreamReader.

2003-08-04  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay (CLOSE_PARENS_CAST, CLOSE_PARENS_NO_CAST,
        CLOSE_PARENS_OPEN_PARENS, CLOSE_PARENS_MINUS): New tokens to
        deambiguate casts and delegate invocations.
        (parenthesized_expression): Use the new tokens to ensure this is
        not a cast of method invocation.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (is_punct): Return one of the new special tokens
        when reading a `)' and Deambiguate_CloseParens () was previously
        called.

        * expression.cs (ParenthesizedExpression): New class.  This is
        just used for the CS0075 test.
        (Binary.DoResolve): Check for CS0075.   

2003-07-29  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Invocation.MakeUnionSet): Patch from Lluis
        Sanchez : use TypeManager.ArrayContainsMethod instead of a direct
        reference comparison.

        (TypeManager.ArrayContainsMethod): When we have a MethodInfo, also
        examine the ReturnType for equality - this is necessary in the
        cases of implicit and explicit operators whose signature also
        includes the return type.

2003-07-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * namespace.cs: Cache the result of the namespace computation,
        instead of computing it every time.

2003-07-24  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * decl.cs: Use a global arraylist that we reuse over invocations
        to avoid excesive memory consumption.  Reduces memory usage on an
        mcs compile by one meg (45 average).

        * typemanager.cs (LookupTypeReflection): In .NET pointers are
        private, work around that.

2003-07-23  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * literal.cs (IntLiteral): Define Zero and One static literals. 

        * cs-parser.jay (integer_literal): use static literals to reduce
        memory usage for the most used literals (0, 1 and -1).  211kb
        reduced in memory usage.

        Replace all calls to `new ArrayList' with `new
        ArrayList(4)' which is a good average number for most allocations,
        and also requires only 16 bytes of memory for its buffer by
        default. 

        This reduced MCS memory usage in seven megabytes for the RSS after
        bootstrapping.

2003-07-28  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Invocation.OverloadResolve): Fix the algorithm to
        handle params methods the correct way by forming only one
        applicable set with params and normal methods in them. Earlier we
        were looking at params methods only if we found no normal methods
        which was not the correct thing to do.

        (Invocation.BetterFunction): Take separate arguments indicating
        when candidate and the best method are params methods in their
        expanded form.

        This fixes bugs #43367 and #46199.

        * attribute.cs: Documentation updates.

        (CheckAttribute): Rename to CheckAttributeTarget.
        (GetValidPlaces): Rename to GetValidTargets.

        * expression.cs (Invocation.IsParamsMethodApplicable): Fix trivial
        bug - use Convert.ImplicitConversion, not ImplicitUserConversion!

        Fixes bug #44468.

2003-07-28  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.DefineMembers): Use the base type's full
        name when looking up the base class of a nested class.  Fixes #46977.

2003-07-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Indexers.Indexer): New nested struct; contains
        getter, setter and the indexer's type.
        (Indexers.Properties): This is now an ArrayList of
        Indexers.Indexer's.
        (IndexerAccess.DoResolveLValue): Correctly set the type if the
        indexer doesn't have any getters.

        * assign.cs (Assign.DoResolve): Also do the implicit conversions
        for embedded property and indexer assignments.

2003-07-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (Tokenizer.xtoken): Report a CS1040 if a
        preprocessor directive is not the first non-whitespace character
        on a line.

2003-07-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * namespace.cs (NamespaceEntry.Lookup): New method; rewrote the
        namespace parsing, follow the spec more closely.

        * rootcontext.cs (RootContext.NamespaceLookup): Use the new
        NamespaceEntry.Lookup().

2003-07-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * MethodCore.cs (OverridesSomething): New public field; it's set
        from TypeContainer.DefineMembers if this method overrides
        something (which doesn't need to be a method).  Fix #39462.

2003-07-25  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (GetMembers): Ensure that the list of members is
        reversed. This keeps things in sync.

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.CheckAttribute): Break as soon as we
        find an AttributeUsage attribute.

        * expression.cs (Invocation.OverloadResolve): Perform the check
        which disallows Invoke to be directly called on a Delegate.

        (Error_InvokeOnDelegate): Report error cs1533.

2003-07-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Indexers.GetIndexersForType): Only look in the
        interface hierarchy if the requested type is already an
        interface.  Fixes #46788 while keeping #46502 fixed.

2003-07-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.DefineMembers): Check whether all
        readonly fields have been assigned and report warning CS0649 if
        not.

        * statement.cs (LocalInfo.IsFixed): Always return true if this is
        a valuetype.

2003-07-24  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * decl.cs (MemberCache.AddMethods): Reverse the order of the array
        returned from GetMethods to make things consistent with the
        assumptions MCS makes about ordering of methods.

        This should comprehensively fix bug #45127 and it does :-)

        * ecore.cs (MethodGroupExpr.DeclaringType): Correct bug - the
        ordering is actually reverse.

        * Clean up some debug messages I left lying around.

        * interface.cs (Populate*): Get rid of code which emits attributes
        since the stage in which we emit attributes is the 'Emit' stage,
        not the define stage.

        (Emit): Move attribute emission for interface members here.

2003-07-22  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Invocation.OverloadResolve): Follow the spec more
        closely: we eliminate methods in base types when we have an
        applicable method in a top-level type.

        Please see section 14.5.5.1 for an exact description of what goes
        on. 

        This fixes bug #45127 and a host of other related to corlib compilation.

        * ecore.cs (MethodGroupExpr.DeclaringType): The element in the
        array is the method corresponding to the top-level type (this is
        because of the changes made to icall.c) so we change this
        accordingly.

        (MethodGroupExpr.Name): This too.

        * typemanager.cs (GetElementType): New method which does the right
        thing when compiling corlib. 

        * everywhere: Make use of the above in the relevant places.

2003-07-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay (invocation_expression): Moved
        `OPEN_PARENS expression CLOSE_PARENS unary_expression' here from
        `cast_expression', but create a InvocationOrCast which later
        resolves to either an Invocation or a Cast.

        * ecore.cs (ExpressionStatement.ResolveStatement): New virtual
        method; call this before EmitStatement() to make sure that this
        expression can be used as a statement.

        * expression.cs (InvocationOrCast): New class; resolves to either
        an Invocation or a Cast.

        * statement.cs (StatementExpression): Call ResolveStatement() on
        the ExpressionStatement before emitting it.

2003-07-21  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Invocation.VerifyArgumentsCompat): Check whether
        `ref' and `out' attributes match; fixes #46220.
        (MemberAccess.ResolveMemberAccess): You can't reference a type
        through an expression; fixes #33180.
        (Indexers.GetIndexersForType): Don't return the indexers from
        interfaces the class implements; fixes #46502.

2003-07-21  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.CheckPairedOperators): Added CS0660 and
        CS0661 checks; fixes bug #30442.

2003-07-21  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * decl.cs (AdditionResult): Added `Error'.

        * enum.cs (AddEnumMember): Report a CS0076 if name is `value__'.

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.ChangeType): Catch exceptions;
        makes cs0031.cs actually work.

2003-07-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * namespace.cs: Fixed that bug which caused a crash when compiling
        the debugger's GUI.

2003-07-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (LookupTypeReflection): Never expose types which
        are NotPublic, NestedPrivate, NestedAssembly, or
        NestedFamANDAssem.  We used to return these, and later do a check
        that would report a meaningful error, but the problem is that we
        would not get the real match, if there was a name override.

2003-07-18  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * namespace.cs (Namespace, Name): Do not compute the namespace
        name dynamically, compute it in the constructor.  This reduced
        memory usage by 1697 KB.

        * driver.cs: Use --pause to pause at the end.

2003-07-17  Peter Williams  <peter@newton.cx>

        * Makefile: Change the name of the test target so that it doesn't
        conflict with the recursive test target.

2003-07-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (LocalVariableReference.Emit, EmitAssign,
        AddressOf): Do not use EmitThis, that was wrong, use the actual
        this pointer.

2003-07-15  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (MethodData.Define): While checking if a method is an
        interface implementation, improve the test: If we are not public
        (use new test here: use the computed MethodAttributes directly,
        instead of the parsed modifier flags) check if the `implementing'
        method comes from an interface or not.

        * pending.cs (VerifyPendingMethods): Slightly better error
        message.

        * makefile: add test target that does the mcs bootstrap.

2003-07-16  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * interface.cs (Define): Do nothing here since there are no
        members to populate etc. Move the attribute emission out of here
        since this was just totally the wrong place to put it. Attribute
        application happens during the 'Emit' phase, not in the 'Define'
        phase.

        (Emit): Add this method and move the attribute emission here

        * rootcontext.cs (EmitCode): Call the Emit method on interface
        types too.

2003-07-14  Ravi Pratap M  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (OverloadResolve): Report error only if Location
        is not 'Null' which means that there was a probe going on.

2003-07-14  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (ConditionalLogicalOperator): New public class to
        implement user defined conditional logical operators.
        This is section 14.11.2 in the spec and bug #40505.

2003-07-14  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (FieldExpr.DoResolveLValue): Fixed bug #46198.

2003-07-14  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.InFixedInitializer): New public field.

        * ecore.cs (IVariable.VerifyFixed): New interface method.

        * expression.cs (Unary.ResolveOperator): When resolving the `&'
        operator, check whether the variable is actually fixed.  Fixes bug
        #36055.  Set a variable definitely assigned when taking its
        address as required by the spec.

        * statement.cs (LocalInfo.IsFixed): New field.
        (LocalInfo.MakePinned): Set `IsFixed' to true.

2003-07-14  Ravi Pratap M  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.Resolve): While doing a Member lookup
        for .ctors, ensure that we only ask for members declared in the
        attribute type (BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly).

        Fixes bug #43632.

        * expression.cs (Error_WrongNumArguments): Report error 1501
        correctly the way CSC does.

2003-07-13  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (MemberAccess.ResolveAsTypeStep): Try to do a type
        lookup on the fully qualified name, to make things like "X.X" work
        where "X.X" is a fully qualified type name, but we also have a
        namespace "X" in the using list.  Fixes #41975.

2003-07-13  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * assign.cs (Assign.GetEmbeddedAssign): New protected virtual
        function. If we're a CompoundAssign, we need to create an embedded
        CompoundAssign, not an embedded Assign.
        (Assign.DoResolve): Make this work for embedded CompoundAssign's.
        Fixes #45854.

2003-07-13  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.IsNestedChildOf): Make this actually
        work to fix bug #46088.

2003-07-13  Ravi Pratap <ravi@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Operator.Emit): Do not emit attributes here - it is
        taken care of by the Method class that we delegate too. This takes
        care of bug #45876.

2003-07-10  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (TypeOfVoid): New class.
        (TypeOf): Report a CS0673 if it's System.Void.  Fixes #42264.

2003-07-10  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (MethodCore.DoDefineParameters): Added CS0225 check;
        bug #35957.

2003-07-10  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * rootcontext.cs (RootContext.NamespaceLookup): Take a DeclSpace,
        not a NamespaceEntry, so we can use DeclSpace.CheckAccessLevel().

        * decl.cs (DeclSpace.FindType): Use DeclSpace.CheckAccessLevel().

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.IsAccessibleFrom): Removed.

2003-07-10  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (ArrayCreation): Don't use a byte blob for arrays
        of decimal.  Fixes #42850.

        NOTE: I also fixed the created byte blob, but this doesn't work on
        the MS runtime and csc never produces any byte blobs for decimal
        arrays.

2003-07-10  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (StructInfo.GetStructInfo): Catch deep cycles in
        structs; fixes #32068.
        (Block.AddChildVariableNames): Fixed #44302.

2003-07-07  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * namespace.cs: fixed compilation with csc. It's bugzilla #44302.

2003-07-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs: And this test is onger needed.

2003-07-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * rootcontext.cs (RootContext.NamespaceLookup): Ignore
        inaccessible types.  Fixes #36313.

        * decl.cs (DeclSpace.FindType): Ignore inaccessible types.

        * namespace.cs (NamespaceEntry): Create implicit entries for all
        namespaces; ie. if we have `namespace N1.N2.N3 { ... }', we create
        implicit entries for N1.N2 and N1.

2003-07-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        Rewrote the handling of namespaces to fix a lot of the issues
        wrt. `using' aliases etc.

        * namespace.cs (Namespace): Splitted this class into a
        per-assembly `Namespace' and a per-file `NamespaceEntry'.

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.IsNamespace): Removed.
        (TypeManager.ComputeNamespaces): Only compute namespaces from
        loaded assemblies here, not the namespaces from the assembly we're
        currently compiling.

2003-07-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * rootcontext.cs, class.cs: Fixed the CS1530 reporting.

2003-07-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs: Reverted patch from Gonzalo, my previous patch
        already fixed it.  

        I thought about the memory savings here, but LookupTypeReflection
        is used under already very constrained scenarios.  Compiling
        corlib or mcs only exposes one hit, so it would not really reduce
        any memory consumption.

2003-07-07  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs: fixes bug #45889 by only adding public types from
        other assemblies to the list of known types.

2003-07-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.Resolve): Add call to CheckAccessLevel
        on the type we resolved.

2003-07-05  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * pending.cs (PendingImplementation.ParentImplements): Don't
        create the proxy if the parent is abstract.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.DefineIndexers): Process explicit
        interface implementations first.  Fixes #37714.

2003-07-04  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (MemberAccess.ResolveMemberAccess): Events are
        defined recursively;  but since we modify the input parameters
        (left is set to `this' temporarily), we reset this value if the
        left_is_explicit is false, which gives the original semantics to
        the code.  

        * literal.cs (NullPointer): new class used to represent a null
        literal in a pointer context.

        * convert.cs (Convert.ImplicitReferenceConversion): Is the target
        type is a pointer, use a NullPointer object instead of a
        NullLiteral.   Closes 43687

        (ExplicitConversion): Convert pointer values using
        the conv opcode to the proper type.

        * ecore.cs (New): change ValueTypeVariable property into a method,
        that returns whether the valuetype is suitable for being used.

        * expression.cs (Binary.DoNumericPromotions): Only return if we
        the int constant was a valid uint, and we can return both left and
        right as uints.  If not, we continue processing, to trigger the
        type conversion.  This fixes 39018.

        * statement.cs (Block.EmitMeta): During constant resolution, set
        the CurrentBlock property on the emitcontext, so that we resolve
        constants propertly.

2003-07-02  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.NeedExplicitReturn): New public variable.
        (EmitContext.EmitTopBlock): Emit an explicit return if it's set.

        * statement.cs (Try.Resolve): Set ec.NeedExplicitReturn rather
        than emitting it here.

        * statement.cs: Fixed some more flow analysis bugs.

2003-07-02  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (MethodData.Define): When implementing interface
        methods, set Final unless we're Virtual.

        * decl.cs (MemberCore.CheckMethodAgainstBase): Make the CS0506
        check work for interface methods.

2003-07-01  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (EmitContext.This): Replaced this property with a
        GetThis() method which takes a Location argument.  This ensures
        that we get the correct error location for a CS0188.

2003-07-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs: (Convert.ConvertIntLiteral): Add test for
        ImplicitStandardConversion.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.GetClassBases): Small bug fix for 45649.

2003-07-01  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * expression.cs (ResolveOperator): Fix Concat (string, string, string)
        optimization.

2003-06-30  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Constructor.Define): Turn off initlocals for unsafe
        constructors.

        (MethodData.Define): Turn off initlocals for unsafe methods.

2003-06-29  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * decl.cs (DeclSpace.CheckAccessLevel): Make this routine
        complete;  Fixes #37521.

        * delegate.cs: Use Modifiers.TypeAttr to compute the
        TypeAttributes, instead of rolling our own.  This makes the flags
        correct for the delegates.

2003-06-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Constructor.Define): Set the private flag for static
        constructors as well.

        * cs-parser.jay (statement_expression): Set the return value to
        null, to avoid a crash when we catch an error.

2003-06-24  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Applied patch from Jackson that adds support for
        extern and unsafe modifiers to destructor declarations.

        * expression.cs: Report error 21 if the user is trying to index a
        System.Array.

        * driver.cs: Add an error message, suggested by the bug report.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.Emit): Only call EmitFieldInitializers
        if we do not have a ": this ()" constructor initializer.  Fixes 45149

2003-06-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * namespace.cs: Add some information to reduce FAQs.

2003-06-13  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cfold.cs (BinaryFold): BitwiseAnd, BitwiseOr: handle other
        underlying enumeration types.  Fixes #43915.

        * expression.cs: Treat ushort/short as legal values to be used in
        bitwise operations.

Wed Jun 4 13:19:04 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * delegate.cs: transfer custom attributes for paramenters from
        the delegate declaration to Invoke and BeginInvoke.

Tue Jun 3 11:11:08 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs: handle custom marshalers and emit marshal info
        for fields, too.

2003-05-28  Hector E. Gomez Morales  <hgomez_36@flashmail.com>

        * makefile.gnu: Added anonymous.cs to the compiler sources.

2003-05-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * iterators.cs: Change the name of the proxy class to include two
        underscores.

        * cs-parser.jay: Update grammar to include anonymous methods.

        * anonymous.cs: new file.

2003-05-27  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Field.Define): Add missing test for pointers and
        safety. 

2003-05-27  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (ArrayAccess.GetStoreOpCode): For System.IntPtr,
        we use the stobj opcode.

        (ArrayCreation.EmitDynamicInitializers): Revert Miguel's patch
        since it wasn't the correct fix. 

        It still is puzzling that we are required to use stobj for IntPtr
        which seems to be a ValueType.

2003-05-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName.SimpleNameResolve): Consider using aliases
        during regular simple name resolution.   Now, the trick is that
        instead of returning for processing the simplename, we do a
        TypeManager.LookupType (ie, a rooted lookup as opposed to a
        contextual lookup type).   If a match is found, return that, if
        not, return for further composition.

        This fixes long-standing 30485.

        * expression.cs (ArrayCreation.EmitDynamicInitializers): When
        using the address to initialize an object, do an Stobj instead of
        using the regular Stelem.

        (IndexerAccess.Emit, IndexerAccess.EmitAssign):
        Pass `is_base_indexer' to Invocation.EmitCall instead of false.
        Because if we are a BaseIndexerAccess that value will be true.
        Fixes 43643.

        * statement.cs (GotoCase.Resolve): Return after reporting an
        error, do not attempt to continue. 

        * expression.cs (PointerArithmetic.Emit): If our operand is a
        long, convert our constants to match the operand before
        multiplying.  Convert to I type before adding.   Fixes 43670.

2003-05-14  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * enum.cs (ImplicitConversionExists) : Rename to
        ImplicitEnumConversionExists to remove ambiguity. 

        * ecore.cs (NullCast): New type of cast expression class which
        basically is very similar to EmptyCast with the difference being
        it still is a constant since it is used only to cast a null to
        something else
        (eg. (string) null)

        * convert.cs (ImplicitReferenceConversion): When casting a null
        literal, we return a NullCast.

        * literal.cs (NullLiteralTyped): Remove - I don't see why this
        should be around anymore.

        The renaming (reported was slightly wrong). Corrections:

        ConvertImplicitStandard -> ImplicitConversionStandard
        ConvertExplicitStandard -> ExplicitConversionStandard

        * expression.cs (StaticCallExpr.MakeSimpleCall): Resolve arguments
        before passing them in !

        * convert.cs (ImplicitConversionStandard): When comparing for
        equal expr and target types, ensure that expr is not a
        NullLiteral.

        In general, we must not be checking (expr_type ==
        target_type) in the top level conversion methods
        (ImplicitConversion, ExplicitConversion etc). This checking is
        done in the methods that they delegate to.

2003-05-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * convert.cs: Move Error_CannotConvertType,
        ImplicitReferenceConversion, ImplicitReferenceConversionExists,
        ImplicitNumericConversion, ImplicitConversionExists,
        ImplicitUserConversionExists, StandardConversionExists,
        FindMostEncompassedType, FindMostSpecificSource,
        FindMostSpecificTarget, ImplicitUserConversion,
        ExplicitUserConversion, GetConversionOperators,
        UserDefinedConversion, ConvertImplicit, ConvertImplicitStandard,
        TryImplicitIntConversion, Error_CannotConvertImplicit,
        ConvertImplicitRequired, ConvertNumericExplicit,
        ExplicitReferenceConversionExists, ConvertReferenceExplicit,
        ConvertExplicit, ConvertExplicitStandard from the ecore.cs into
        its own file.

        Perform the following renames:

        StandardConversionExists -> ImplicitStandardConversionExists
        ConvertImplicit -> ImplicitConversion
        ConvertImplicitStandard -> ImplicitStandardConversion
        TryImplicitIntConversion -> ImplicitIntConversion
        ConvertImplicitRequired -> ImplicitConversionRequired
        ConvertNumericExplicit -> ExplicitNumericConversion
        ConvertReferenceExplicit -> ExplicitReferenceConversion
        ConvertExplicit -> ExplicitConversion
        ConvertExplicitStandard -> ExplicitStandardConversion

2003-05-19  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (TypeInfo.StructInfo): Made this type protected.
        (TypeInfo): Added support for structs having structs as fields.

        * ecore.cs (FieldExpr): Implement IVariable.
        (FieldExpr.DoResolve): Call VariableInfo.GetSubStruct() to get the
        VariableInfo for the field.

2003-05-18  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (This.DoResolve): Report a CS0027 if we're
        emitting a field initializer.

2003-05-18  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (This.ResolveBase): New public function.
        (This.DoResolve): Check for CS0188.

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.This): Just call This.ResolveBase(), not
        This.Resolve().

        * ecore.cs (MethodGroupExpr.DoResolve): Set the
        `instance_expression' to null if we don't have any non-static
        methods.

2003-05-18  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        Reworked the way how local variables and parameters are handled by
        the flow analysis code.

        * statement.cs (TypeInfo, VariableMap): New public classes.
        (VariableInfo): New public class.  This is now responsible for
        checking whether a variable has been assigned.  It is used for
        parameters and local variables.
        (Block.EmitMeta): Take the InternalParameters as argument; compute
        the layout of the flow vectors here.
        (Block.LocalMap, Block.ParameterMap): New public properties.
        (FlowBranching): The .ctor doesn't get the InternalParameters
        anymore since Block.EmitMeta() now computes the layout of the flow
        vector.
        (MyStructInfo): This class is now known as `StructInfo' and nested
        in `TypeInfo'; we don't access this directly anymore.

        * ecore.cs (IVariable): Added `VariableInfo VariableInfo'
        property and removed IsAssigned(), IsFieldAssigned(),
        SetAssigned() and SetFieldAssigned(); we now call them on the
        VariableInfo so we don't need to duplicate this code everywhere.

        * expression.cs (ParameterReference): Added `Block block' argument
        to the .ctor.
        (LocalVariableReference, ParameterReference, This): The new
        VariableInfo class is now responsible for all the definite
        assignment stuff.

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.IsVariableAssigned, SetVariableAssigned,
        IsParameterAssigned, SetParameterAssigned): Removed.

2003-05-18  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (InitCoreTypes): Try calling
        SetCorlibTypeBuilders() with 4 args; if that fails, fall back to
        the 3-args-version.  Corlib now also needs our `void_type'.
        (GetMethod): Added overloaded version which takes an optional
        `bool report_errors' to allow lookups of optional methods.

2003-05-12  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (VariableInfo): Renamed to LocalInfo since it's
        only used for locals and not for parameters.

2003-05-12  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * support.cs (InternalParameters.ParameterType): Return the
        ExternalType of the parameter.

        * parameter.cs (Parameter.ExternalType): drop the two arguments,
        they were unused.

2003-05-11  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (MethodData.Define): Do not set the `newslot' on
        interface members, if they are also flagged as "override".

        * expression.cs (UnaryMutator.EmitCode): Simple workaround to emit
        better code for ++i and i++.  This only works for static fields
        and local variables.

        * typemanager.cs (LookupDeclSpace): Add new method, sometimes we
        want to pull the DeclSpace out of the builder_to_declspace instead
        of the TypeBuilder (like in TypeContainer.FindMembers).

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.FindMembers): Use LookupDeclSpace
        instead of LookupTypeContainer.  Fixes the crash on .NET for
        looking up interface members.

        * const.cs: Create our own emit context during the Definition
        stage, so that constants are evaluated in the proper context, when
        a recursive definition happens.

2003-05-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Block.CreateSwitchBlock): New method.  Creates a
        new block for a switch section.
        (Block.AddLabel, Block.LookupLabel): If we're a switch section, do
        the adding/lookup in the switch block.  Fixes #39828.

2003-05-09  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (UnaryMutator.LoadOneAndEmitOp): Missing
        functionality: I needed to convert the data after I had performed
        the add/sub operation into the operands type size.

        * ecore.cs (ImplicitReferenceConversion): When boxing an interface
        pass the type for the box operation, otherwise the resulting
        object would have been of type object.

        (BoxedCast): Add constructor to specify the type to box as.

2003-05-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * iterators.cs: I was reusing the `count' variable inadvertently,
        take steps to not allow this to happen.

2003-05-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.Resolve): Params attributes are encoded
        by creating an array at the point where the params starts and
        putting all those arguments there, then adjusting the size of the
        array.

2003-05-05  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (New.AddressOf): Implement interface
        IMemoryLocation.  This is used when the `new' operator is used in
        the context of an invocation to a method on a value type.

        See http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=#42390 for an
        example. 

        * namespace.cs: Also check the using aliases here.

        * driver.cs: Move the test for using validity after the types have
        been entered, so we do a single pass that also includes the using
        aliases. 

        * statement.cs (Try.Resolve): Avoid crashing if there is a failure
        in the regular case.   CreateSiblingForFinally is doing extra
        error checking.

        * attribute.cs (GetAttributeArgumentExpression): Store the result
        on an out value, and use the return value to indicate failure
        instead of using null (which is a valid return for Constant.GetValue).

        * statement.cs: Perform the analysis flow for the increment
        portion after the statement, because this will be the real flow of
        execution.  Fixes #42385

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.EmitArgument,
        EmitContext.EmitStoreArgument): New helper functions when the
        RemapToProxy flag is set.

        * expression.cs (ParameterReference.EmitLdarg): Expose this useful
        function.

        Add support for remapping parameters. 

        * iterators.cs: Propagate parameter values;  Store parameter
        values in the proxy classes.

2003-05-04  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (FieldExpr): Fix an obvious bug.  static fields do not
        need a proxy reference;  I do not know what I was thinking

        * cs-parser.jay (constructor_initializer): catch another error,
        and display nice message.

        (field_declaration): catch void field declaration
        to flag a better error. 

        * class.cs (MemberBase.CheckBase): Report an error instead of a
        warning if a new protected member is declared in a struct. 
        (Field.Define): catch the error of readonly/volatile.

        * ecore.cs (FieldExpr.EmitAssign): reuse the field lookup.

        (FieldExpr.AddressOf): ditto.  Catch error where the address of a
        volatile variable is taken

2003-05-02  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Fixed.Resolve): Report an error if we are not in
        an unsafe context.

2003-05-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs: reuse the code that handles type clashes for
        delegates and enumerations.

        * class.cs (Report28): Always report.

        * expression.cs (EncodeAsAttribute): Allow nulls here.

2003-04-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.GetAttributeArgumentExpression): Moved
        the functionality for testing whether an expression is valid for
        an attribute here.  Also handle the case of arrays of elements
        being stored. 

        * expression.cs (ArrayCreation.EncodeAsAttribute): Add support for
        encoding a linear array into an array of objects that are suitable
        to be passed to an CustomAttributeBuilder.

        * delegate.cs: Check unsafe types being used outside of an Unsafe context.

        * ecore.cs: (FieldExpr): Handle field remapping here.

        * iteratators.cs: Pass the instance variable (if the method is an
        instance method) to the constructors, so we can access the field
        variables on the class.

        TODO: Test this with structs.  I think the THIS variable on
        structs might have to be a pointer, and not a refenrece

2003-04-27  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.Mapvariable): Adds a mechanism to map
        local variables to fields in a proxy class.

        * iterators.cs (PopulateProxy): Rename our internal fields to
        <XXX>.  
        Create a <THIS> field if we are an instance method, so we can
        reference our parent container variables.
        (MapVariable): Called back from the EmitContext code to enter a
        new variable to field mapping into the proxy class (we just create
        a FieldBuilder).

        * expression.cs
        (LocalVariableReference.{Emit,EmitAssign,AddressOf}): Add support
        for using the remapped locals to fields.

        I placed the code here, because that gives the same semantics to
        local variables, and only changes the Emit code.

        * statement.cs (Fixed.Resolve): it is not allowed to have fixed
        statements inside iterators.
        (VariableInfo): Add a FieldBuilder for the cases when we are
        remapping local variables to fields in a proxy class

        * ecore.cs (SimpleNameResolve): Avoid testing two times for
        current_block != null.

        * statement.cs (Swithc.SimpleSwitchEmit): Removed code that did
        not cope with strings, as it has been moved to the
        TableSwitchEmit.  Fixed bug in switch generation.

        * expression.cs (New.DoResolve): Provide more context for the user
        when reporting an error.

        * ecore.cs (Expression.LoadFromPtr): Use ldind_i when loading
        pointers. 

        * expression.cs (MemberAccess.DoResolve): When we get a type back,
        check the permissions for it.  Note than in a type-resolution
        context the check was already present in DeclSpace.ResolveType,
        but was missing from the MemberAccess.

        (ArrayCreation.CheckIndices): warn if the user has
        more nested levels of expressions, but there are no more
        dimensions specified.  Avoids crash on bug 41906.

2003-04-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Block): replace Implicit bool, for a generic
        flags.   
        New flag: `Unchecked'.  This is used during the EmitMeta phase
        (which is out-of-line with the regular Resolve/Emit process for a
        statement, as this is done ahead of time, but still gets a chance
        to call constant resolve).

        (Block.Flags): new enum for adding a new flag.

        (Block.EmitMeta): track the state of unchecked.

        (Unchecked): Set the "UnChecked" flags on any blocks we enclose,
        to enable constant resolution to work there as well.

2003-04-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (ienumerable_type): Also look up
        System.Collections.IEnumerable. 

2003-04-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        TODO: Test more than one conditional per method.

        * class.cs (Indexer.Define): Report the location where the user is
        referencing the unsupported feature.

        (MethodData): Overload the use of `conditionals' to
        minimize the creation of needless ArrayLists.   This saves roughly
        212kb on my machine.

        (Method): Implement the new IIteratorContainer interface.
        (Method.SetYields): Implement the method by setting the ModFlags
        to contain METHOD_YIELDS.

        * expression.cs (Unary.ResolveOperator): Use expr_type, not Expr,
        which just got set to null.

        * iterators.cs: New file.

        (Yield, YieldBreak): New statements.

        * statement.cs (Return.Resolve): Flag an error if we are used in
        an iterator method.

        * codegen.cs (InIterator): New flag set if the code is being
        compiled in an iterator method.

        * modifiers.cs: New flag METHOD_YIELDS.  This modifier is an
        internal modifier, and we just use it to avoid adding extra
        fields, as this is seldom used.  

        * cs-parser.jay: Add yield_statement (yield and yield break).

        * driver.cs: New flag -v2 to turn on version 2 features. 

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (Tokenizer): Add yield and __yield to the
        hashtable when v2 is enabled.

2003-04-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.NamespaceClash): Use to check if
        there is already a namespace defined with this name.

        (TypeManager.InitCoreTypes): Remove the temporary workaround, as
        people upgraded their corlibs.

        (TypeManager.CoreLookupType): Use LookupTypeDirect, as we
        always use fully qualified types, no need to use the compiler
        front end.

        (TypeManager.IsNamespace): Use binarysearch.

        * class.cs (AddClass, AddStruct, AddInterface, AddEvent,
        AddDelegate): I did not quite use the new IsValid API properly: I
        have to pass the short-name and the fullname.  I was passing only
        the basename instead of the fullname sometimes. 

        (TypeContainer.DefineType): call NamespaceClash.

        * interface.cs (Interface.DefineType): use NamespaceClash before
        defining the type.

        * delegate.cs (Delegate.DefineType): use NamespaceClash before
        defining the type.

        * enum.cs: (Enum.DefineType): use NamespaceClash before
        defining the type.

        * typemanager.cs (: 3-line patch that gives us some tasty 11%
        speed increase.  First, use the negative_hits cache when we get a
        negative.  Second, add the type with its full original name
        instead of the new . and + encoded name (reflection uses + to
        separate type from a nested type).  Use LookupTypeReflection
        directly which bypasses the type->name hashtable (that we already
        know does not contain the type.

        * decl.cs (DeclSpace.ResolveTypeExpr): track the
        location/container type. 

        * driver.cs: When passing utf8, use directly the UTF8Encoding.

2003-04-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * decl.cs (ResolveTypeExpr): Mirror check acess here too.

        * delegate.cs (NewDelegate.Resolve): Test whether an instance
        method is being referenced in the method group from a static
        context, and report error 120 if so.

        * expression.cs, ecore.cs (Error_UnexpectedKind): New name for
        Error118. 

        * typemanager.cs: Add intermediate namespaces (if a namespace A.B
        is created, we create the A namespace).

        * cs-parser.jay: A namespace also introduces a DeclarationFound.
        Fixes #41591

2003-04-18  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (GetReferenceType, GetPointerType): In .NET each
        invocation to ModuleBuilder.GetType with the same values will
        return a new type instance, so we need to cache its return
        values. 

        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): Only allow the compare
        operators on enums if they are of the same type.

        * ecore.cs (Expression.ImplicitReferenceConversion): handle target
        types of ValueType on their own case.  Before we were giving them
        the same treatment as objects.

        * decl.cs (DeclSpace.IsValid): IsValid takes the short name and
        fullname.  Short name is used to compare against container name.
        Fullname is used to check against defined namespace names.

        * class.cs (AddProperty, AddField, AddClass, AddStruct, AddEnum,
        AddDelegate, AddEvent): Pass new parameter to DeclSpace.IsValid

        (Method.CheckBase): Call parent.
        (MemberBase.CheckBase): Check for protected members on sealed
        classes.
        (PropertyBase.CheckBase): Call parent.
        (Field.Define): Call parent.

        * report.cs: Negative error codes are now mapped to 8000 - code,
        so that the display is render more nicely.

        * typemanager.cs: Do not use try/catch, instead report a regular
        error. 

        (GetPointerType, GetReferenceType): These methods provide
        mechanisms to obtain the T* and T& from a T.  We had the code
        previously scattered around the code base, and it also used
        TypeManager.LookupType that would go through plenty of caches.
        This one goes directly to the type source.

        In some places we did the Type.GetType followed by
        ModuleBuilder.GetType, but not in others, so this unifies the
        processing as well.

        * namespace.cs (VerifyUsing): Perform a non-lazy approach to using
        statements now that we have namespace information.

        * typemanager.cs (IsNamespace): New method, returns whether the
        string presented is a namespace or not.

        (ComputeNamespaces): New public entry point, computes the list of
        available namespaces, using the GetNamespaces API call in Mono, or
        the slower version in MS.NET.   

        Now before we start the semantic analysis phase, we have a
        complete list of namespaces including everything that the user has
        provided.

        Deleted old code to cache namespaces in .nsc files.

2003-04-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs: (TypeContainer.DefineDefaultConstructor): Use the
        class/struct location definition Location for the implicit
        constructor location.

        (Operator.Define): Use the location of the operator for the
        implicit Method definition.

        (Constructor.Emit): use the constructor location for the implicit
        base initializer constructor.

        * ecore.cs: Remove ITypeExpression.  This interface is now gone,
        and the Expression class now contains two new methods:

        ResolveAsTypeStep and ResolveAsTypeTerminal.  This is used to
        isolate type lookup from the rest of the resolution process.

        Since we use Expressions to hold type definitions due to the way
        we parse the input we have historically overloaded Resolve to
        perform the Type lookups if a special flag is passed.  Now this is
        eliminated and two methods take their place. 

        The differences in the two methods between xStep and xTerminal is
        that xStep is involved in our current lookup system that uses
        SimpleNames to compose a name, while xTerminal is used just to
        catch the case where the simplename lookup failed.

2003-04-16  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (ResolveMemberAccess): Remove redundant code.
        TypeExpr expressions are always born fully resolved.

        * interface.cs (PopulateMethod): Do not lookup the types twice.
        We were doing it once during SemanticAnalysis and once during
        PopulateMethod.

        * cs-parser.jay: Due to our hack in the grammar, things like A.B[]
        in local variable type definitions, were being returned as a
        SimpleName (we decomposed everything into a string), that is
        because primary_expression was being used instead of a type in the
        grammar (reduce/reduce conflicts).

        The part that was wrong is that we converted the expression into a
        string (an oversimplification in one hand, compounded with primary
        expressions doing string concatenation).

        So things like:

        A.B.C [] x;

        Would return "A.B.C[]" as a SimpleName.  This stopped things like
        using clauses from working on this particular context.  And a type
        was being matched directly against "A.B.C[]".

        We now use the correct approach, and allow for ComposedCast to be
        part of the unary expression.  So the "A.B.C []" become a composed
        cast of "A.B.C" (as a nested group of MemberAccess with a
        SimpleName at the end) plus the rank composition "[]". 

        Also fixes 35567

2003-04-10  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * decl.cs (CheckAccessLevel): Implement the NestedPrivate rules
        for the access level checking.

        * class.cs: Cosmetic changes.  Renamed `TypeContainer parent' to
        `TypeContainer container', because I kept getting confused when I
        was debugging this code.

        * expression.cs (Indexers): Instead of tracking getters/setters,
        we now track them in parallel.  We create one arraylist less, but
        most importantly it is possible now for the LValue code to find a
        matching get for a set.

        (IndexerAccess.DoResolveLValue): Update the code.
        GetIndexersForType has been modified already to extract all the
        indexers from a type.  The code assumed it did not.

        Also make the code set the correct return type for the indexer.
        This was fixed a long time ago for properties, but was missing for
        indexers.  It used to be void_type.

        (Binary.Emit): Test first for doubles instead of
        floats, as they are more common.

        (Binary.EmitBranchable): Use the .un version of the branch opcodes
        when dealing with floats and the <=, >= operators.  This fixes bug
        #39314 

        * statement.cs (Foreach.EmitArrayForeach): bug fix: The code used
        to load the array value by emitting a load on the foreach variable
        type.  This was incorrect.  

        We now emit the code to load an element using the the array
        variable type, and then we emit the conversion operator.

        Fixed #40176

2003-04-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * attribute.cs: Avoid allocation of ArrayLists in the common case.

2003-04-09  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (MethodSignature.InheritableMemberSignatureCompare):
        test for protection before we test for signatures. 

        (MethodSignature.ToString): implement.

        * expression.cs (Unary.TryReduceNegative): Add missing minus sign
        to the case where we reduced into a LongConstant.

        * decl.cs (CheckAccessLevel): If the type is an array, we can not
        depend on whether the information is acurrate, because the
        Microsoft runtime will always claim that the array type is public,
        regardless of the real state.

        If the type is a pointer, another problem happens: the type is
        reported as non-public in Microsoft.  

        In both cases we have to call CheckAccessLevel recursively with
        the underlying type as the argument to be tested.

2003-04-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * assign.cs (Assign.Emit): If we are dealing with a compound
        assignment expression, we should use the code path that stores the
        intermediate result in a temporary value.  This fixes #40903.

        *expression.cs (Indirection.ToString): Provide ToString method for
        debugging. 

2003-04-08  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * class.cs: Null out fields holding references to Block objects so
        they can be garbage collected.

        * expression.cs (OverloadResolve): Remove unused local.

2003-04-07  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.CurrentFile): New public field.
        (EmitContext.Mark): Use the CurrentFile to check whether the
        location is in the correct file.
        (EmitContext.EmitTopBlock): Initialize CurrentFile here.

2003-04-07  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (Expression.ResolveBoolean): Don't call ec.Mark().

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.EmitTopBlock): Don't call Mark() on the
        location.  [FIXME: The location argument which gets passed to this
        method is sometimes wrong!]

2003-04-07  Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * codegen.cs: Be more verbose when we can't find the symbol writer dll.

2003-04-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Indirection.EmitAssign): We were using the
        temporary, but returning immediately instead of continuing the
        EmitAssing flow.

2003-04-06  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName.SimpleNameResolve): Don't report an error
        if it's a nested child, but also deriving from the outer class.
        See test 190.cs.

        * typemanager.cs (IsNestedChildOf): Make this work if it's a
        nested child, but also deriving from the outer class.  See
        test-190.cs.
        (FilterWithClosure): We may access private members of the outer
        class if we're a nested child and deriving from the outer class.
        (RealMemberLookup): Only set `closure_private_ok' if the
        `original_bf' contained BindingFlags.NonPublic.

2003-04-05  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (FlowBranching.UsageVector.MergeChildren): Fix bug #40670.

2003-04-02  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Event.Define): Do not allow abstract events to have
        initializers. 

2003-04-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Add error productions for ADD/REMOVE missing a
        block in event declarations.

        * ecore.cs (FieldExpr.AddressOf): If our instance expression is a
        value type, get its address.

        * expression.cs (Is.Emit): For action `LeaveOnStack' we were
        leaving a class on the stack instead of a boolean value (int
        0/1).  Change the code so we compare against null, and then the
        result against zero.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.GetClassBases): We were checking for the
        parent class being sealed too late.

        * expression.cs (Binary.Emit): For <= and >= when dealing with
        floating point values, use cgt.un and clt.un instead of cgt and
        clt alone.

2003-04-01  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * statement.cs: Apply the same optimization as MS: skip the 
        GetEnumerator returning an IEnumerator, and use the one returning a 
        CharEnumerator instead. This allows us to avoid the try-finally block 
        and the boxing.

2003-03-31  Gaurav Vaish <gvaish_mono@lycos.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Attributes cannot be applied to
                         namespaces. Fixes #40473

2003-03-31  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * class.cs:
        (Add*): check if the name is valid using the full name for constants,
        fields, properties and events.

2003-03-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * enum.cs (Enum.DefineType, Enum.IsValidEnumConstant): Also allow
        char constants to be part of the enumeration.

        * expression.cs (Conditional.DoResolve): Add support for operator
        true. Implements the missing functionality from 14.12

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.CheckPairedOperators): Report error for missmatch on
        operator true/false as required by the spec.

        * expression.cs (Unary.ResolveOperator): In LogicalNot, do an
        implicit conversion to boolean.

        * statement.cs (Statement.ResolveBoolean): A boolean expression is
        also one where the type implements `operator true'. 

        * ecore.cs (Expression.GetOperatorTrue): New helper routine to
        get an expression that will invoke operator true based on an
        expression.  

        (GetConversionOperators): Removed the hack that called op_True
        here.  

        (Expression.ResolveBoolean): Move this from Statement.

2003-03-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (FieldExpr): do not allow initialization of initonly
        fields on derived classes

2003-03-13  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Block.Emit): Call ig.BeginScope() and
        ig.EndScope() when compiling with debugging info; call
        LocalBuilder.SetLocalSymInfo _after_ opening the scope.

2003-03-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Indexers): Do not construct immediately, allow
        for new members to be appended as we go.  Fixes 38143

2003-03-07  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs: save/restore context when resolving an unchecked
        expression.

2003-03-05  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cfold.cs: Catch division by zero in modulus operator during
        constant folding.

2003-03-03  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * interface.cs (Interface.DefineMembers): Avoid defining members
        twice. 

2003-02-27  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: handle the +/- options for -noconfig

        * statement.cs (Unckeched.Resolve): Also track the state of
        unchecked in the Resolve phase.

2003-02-27  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (Expression.MemberLookup): Don't create a
        MethodGroupExpr for something which is not a method.  Fixes #38291.

2003-02-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (MemberBase.CheckParameters): Also check that the type
        is unmanaged if it is a pointer.

        * expression.cs (SizeOf.Resolve): Add location information.

        * statement.cs (Block.EmitMeta): Flag error (208) if a pointer to
        a managed type is declared.

        * expression.cs (Invocation.VerifyArgumentsCompat): Check for the
        parameter modifiers as well.  Fixes bug 38606

        * class.cs: Very sad.  Am backing out the speed up changes
        introduced by the ArrayList -> Array in the TypeContainer, as they
        were not actually that much faster, and introduced a bug (no error
        reports on duplicated methods).

        * assign.cs (CompoundAssign.DoLResolve): Resolve the original
        source first, this will guarantee that we have a valid expression
        before calling in lower levels functions that will require a
        resolved object.  Then use this original_source in the
        target.ResolveLValue instead of the original source that was
        passed to us.

        Another change.  Use target.Resolve instead of LValueResolve.
        Although we are resolving for LValues, we will let the Assign code
        take care of that (it will be called again from Resolve).  This
        basically allows code like this:

        class X { X operator + (X x, object o) {} X this [int idx] { get; set; } }
        class Y { void A (X x) { x [0] += o; }

        The problem was that the indexer was trying to resolve for
        set_Item (idx, object o) and never finding one.  The real set_Item
        was set_Item (idx, X).  By delaying the process we get the right
        semantics. 

        Fixes bug 36505

2003-02-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Block.Emit): Override this and set ec.CurrentBlock
        while calling DoEmit ().

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.Mark): Don't mark locations in other
        source files; if you use the #line directive inside a method, the
        compiler stops emitting line numbers for the debugger until it
        reaches the end of the method or another #line directive which
        restores the original file.

2003-02-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (FlowBranching.UsageVector.MergeChildren): Fix bug #37708.

2003-02-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Block.AddChildVariableNames): We need to call this
        recursively, not just for our immediate children.

2003-02-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Event.Define): Always make the field private, like csc does.

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.RealMemberLookup): Make events
        actually work, fixes bug #37521.

2003-02-23  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * delegate.cs: When creating the various temporary "Parameters"
        classes, make sure that we call the ComputeAndDefineParameterTypes
        on those new parameters (just like we do with the formal ones), to
        allow them to be resolved in the context of the DeclSpace.

        This fixes the bug that Dick observed in Bugzilla #38530.

2003-02-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (ResolveMemberAccess): When resolving a constant,
        do not attempt to pull a constant if the value was not able to
        generate a valid constant.

        * const.cs (LookupConstantValue): Do not report more errors than required.

2003-02-19  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs: fixes bug #38328.

2003-02-18  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs: Changed all the various members that can be part of a
        class from being an ArrayList to be an Array of the right type.
        During the DefineType type_list, interface_list, delegate_list and
        enum_list are turned into types, interfaces, delegates and enums
        arrays.  

        And during the member population, indexer_list, event_list,
        constant_list, field_list, instance_constructor_list, method_list,
        operator_list and property_list are turned into their real arrays.

        Although we could probably perform this operation earlier, for
        good error reporting we need to keep the lists and remove the
        lists for longer than required.

        This optimization was triggered by Paolo profiling the compiler
        speed on the output of `gen-sample-program.pl' perl script. 

        * decl.cs (DeclSpace.ResolveType): Set the ContainerType, so we do
        not crash in methods like MemberLookupFailed that use this field.  

        This problem arises when the compiler fails to resolve a type
        during interface type definition for example.

2003-02-18  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Indexers.GetIndexersForType): Interfaces do not
        inherit from System.Object, so we have to stop at null, not only
        when reaching System.Object.

2003-02-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs: (Indexers.GetIndexersForType): Martin's fix used
        DeclaredOnly because the parent indexer might have had a different
        name, but did not loop until the top of the hierarchy was reached.

        The problem this one fixes is 35492: when a class implemented an
        indexer from an interface, we were getting the interface method
        (which was abstract) and we were flagging an error (can not invoke
        abstract method).

        This also keeps bug 33089 functioning, and test-148 functioning.

        * typemanager.cs (IsSpecialMethod): The correct way of figuring
        out if a method is special is to see if it is declared in a
        property or event, or whether it is one of the predefined operator
        names.   This should fix correctly #36804.

2003-02-15  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        The goal here is to remove the dependency on EmptyCast.Peel ().
        Killing it completely.

        The problem is that currently in a number of places where
        constants are expected, we have to "probe" for an EmptyCast, and
        Peel, which is not the correct thing to do, as this will be
        repetitive and will likely lead to errors. 

        The idea is to remove any EmptyCasts that are used in casts that
        can be reduced to constants, so we only have to cope with
        constants. 

        This bug hunt was triggered by Bug 37363 and the desire to remove
        the duplicate pattern where we were "peeling" emptycasts to check
        whether they were constants.  Now constants will always be
        constants.

        * ecore.cs: Use an enumconstant here instead of wrapping with
        EmptyCast.  

        * expression.cs (Cast.TryReduce): Ah, the tricky EnumConstant was
        throwing me off.  By handling this we can get rid of a few hacks.

        * statement.cs (Switch): Removed Peel() code.

2003-02-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs: Location information for error 508

        * expression.cs (New.DoResolve): Add a guard against double
        resolution of an expression.  

        The New DoResolve might be called twice when initializing field
        expressions (see EmitFieldInitializers, the call to
        GetInitializerExpression will perform a resolve on the expression,
        and later the assign will trigger another resolution

        This leads to bugs (#37014)

        * delegate.cs: The signature for EndInvoke should contain any ref
        or out parameters as well.  We were not doing this in the past. 

        * class.cs (Field.Define): Do not overwrite the type definition
        inside the `volatile' group.  Turns out that volatile enumerations
        were changing the type here to perform a validity test, which
        broke conversions. 

2003-02-12  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (FieldExpr.AddressOf): In the particular case of This
        and structs, we do not want to load the instance variable

        (ImplicitReferenceConversion, ImplicitReferenceConversionExists):
        enum_type has to be handled like an object reference (implicit
        conversions exists from this to object), but the regular IsClass
        and IsValueType tests will never return true for this one.

        Also we use TypeManager.IsValueType instead of type.IsValueType,
        just for consistency with the rest of the code (this is only
        needed if we ever use the construct exposed by test-180.cs inside
        corlib, which we dont today).

2003-02-12  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * attribute.cs (ApplyAttributes): apply all MethodImplAttributes, not
        just InternalCall.

2003-02-09  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * namespace.cs (Namespace..ctor): Added SourceFile argument.
        (Namespace.DefineNamespaces): New static public method; this is
        called when we're compiling with debugging to add all namespaces
        to the symbol file.

        * tree.cs (Tree.RecordNamespace): Added SourceFile argument and
        pass it to the Namespace's .ctor.

        * symbolwriter.cs (SymbolWriter.OpenMethod): Added TypeContainer
        and MethodBase arguments; pass the namespace ID to the symwriter;
        pass the MethodBase instead of the token to the symwriter.
        (SymbolWriter.DefineNamespace): New method to add a namespace to
        the symbol file.

2003-02-09  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * symbolwriter.cs: New file.  This is a wrapper around
        ISymbolWriter with a cleaner API.  We'll dynamically Invoke()
        methods here in near future.

2003-02-09  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.Mark): Just pass the arguments to
        ILGenerator.MarkSequencePoint() which are actually used by the
        symbol writer.

2003-02-09  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * location.cs (SourceFile): New public sealed class.  This
        contains the name and an index which is used in the location's token.
        (Location): Reserve an appropriate number of bits in the token for
        the source file instead of walking over that list, this gives us a
        really huge performance improvement when compiling with debugging.

        * driver.cs (Driver.parse, Driver.tokenize_file): Take a
        `SourceFile' argument instead of a string.
        (Driver.ProcessFile): Add all the files via Location.AddFile(),
        but don't parse/tokenize here, we need to generate the list of all
        source files before we do that.
        (Driver.ProcessFiles): New static function.  Parses/tokenizes all
        the files.

        * cs-parser.jay (CSharpParser): Take a `SourceFile' argument
        instead of a string.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (Tokenizer): Take `SourceFile' argument instead
        of a string.

2003-02-09  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (Tokenizer.PreProcessLine): Also reset the
        filename on `#line default'.

Sat Feb 8 17:03:16 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs: don't clear the pinned var when the fixed statement
        returns from the method (fixes bug#37752).

Sat Feb 8 12:58:06 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs: fix from mathpup@mylinuxisp.com (Marcus Urban) 
        to IsValueType.

2003-02-07  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: Removed the `--debug-args' command line argument.

        * codegen.cs (CodeGen.SaveSymbols): Removed, this is now done
        automatically by the AsssemblyBuilder.
        (CodeGen.InitializeSymbolWriter): We don't need to call any
        initialization function on the symbol writer anymore.  This method
        doesn't take any arguments.

2003-02-03  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: (AddAssemblyAndDeps, LoadAssembly): Enter the types
        from referenced assemblies as well.

2003-02-02  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (MethodData.Emit): Generate debugging info for external methods.

2003-02-02  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Constructor.Emit): Open the symbol writer before
        emitting the constructor initializer.
        (ConstructorInitializer.Emit): Call ec.Mark() to allow
        single-stepping through constructor initializers.

2003-01-30  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs: Handle error 549: do not allow virtual methods in
        sealed classes. 

2003-02-01 Jackson Harper <jackson@latitudegeo.com>

        * decl.cs: Check access levels when resolving types

2003-01-31 Jackson Harper <jackson@latitudegeo.com>

        * statement.cs: Add parameters and locals set in catch blocks that might 
        return to set vector

2003-01-29  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Operator): Set the SpecialName flags for operators.

        * expression.cs (Invocation.DoResolve): Only block calls to
        accessors and operators on SpecialName methods.

        (Cast.TryReduce): Handle conversions from char constants.


Tue Jan 28 17:30:57 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs: small memory and time optimization in FlowBranching.

2003-01-28  Pedro Mart  <yoros@wanadoo.es>

        * expression.cs (IndexerAccess.DoResolveLValue): Resolve the same
        problem that the last fix but in the other sid (Set).

        * expression.cs (IndexerAccess.DoResolve): Fix a problem with a null
        access when there is no indexer in the hierarchy.

2003-01-27 Jackson Harper <jackson@latitudegeo.com>

        * class.cs: Combine some if statements.

2003-01-27  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: fixed bug #37187.

2003-01-27  Pedro Martinez Juliá  <yoros@wanadoo.es>

        * expression.cs (IndexerAccess.DoResolve): Before trying to resolve
        any indexer, it's needed to build a list with all the indexers in the
        hierarchy (AllGetters), else we have problems. Fixes #35653.

2003-01-23  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (MethodData.Define): It is wrong for an interface
        implementation to be static in both cases: explicit and implicit.
        We were only handling this in one case.

        Improve the if situation there to not have negations.

        * class.cs (Field.Define): Turns out that we do not need to check
        the unsafe bit on field definition, only on usage.  Remove the test.

2003-01-22  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: use assembly.Location instead of Codebase (the latest
        patch made mcs fail when using MS assemblies).

2003-01-21  Tim Haynes <thaynes@openlinksw.com>

        * driver.cs: use DirectorySeparatorChar instead of a hardcoded "/" to
        get the path to *corlib.dll.

2003-01-21  Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs:
        * pending.cs:
        * typemanager.cs: Remove compiler warnings

2003-01-20  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * AssemblyInfo.cs: Bump the version number to 0.19.

2003-01-20  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: little fixes to line numbering when #line is used.

2003-01-18  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * class.cs (Constructor::Emit): Emit debugging info for constructors.

2003-01-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Small fix: we were not comparing the constructor
        name correctly.   Thanks to Zoltan for the initial pointer.

2003-01-16 Jackson Harper <jackson@latitudegeo.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Set file name when specified with #line

2003-01-15  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Only perform the constructor checks here if we
        are named like the class;  This will help provider a better
        error.  The constructor path is taken when a type definition is
        not found, but most likely the user forgot to add the type, so
        report that rather than the constructor error.

Tue Jan 14 10:36:49 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.cs, rootcontext.cs: small changes to avoid unnecessary memory
        allocations.

2003-01-13 Jackson Harper <jackson@latitudegeo.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Add cleanup call.

2003-01-13  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (Cleanup): Rename to 'cleanup' to make it more
        consistent with other methods.

2003-01-13 Jackson Harper <jackson@latitudegeo.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Add Cleanup method, also fix #region error messages.

Sun Jan 12 19:58:42 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs: only set GuidAttr to true when we have a
        GuidAttribute.

2003-01-09  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs:
        * expression.cs:
        * typemanager.cs: fixes to allow mcs compile corlib with the new
        Type.IsSubclassOf fix.

2003-01-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (LocalVariableReference.DoResolve): Classify a
        constant as a value, not as a variable.   Also, set the type for
        the variable.

        * cs-parser.jay (fixed_statement): take a type instead of a
        pointer_type, so we can produce a better error message later.

        * statement.cs (Fixed.Resolve): Flag types that are not pointers
        as an error.  

        (For.DoEmit): Make inifinite loops have a
        non-conditional branch back.

        (Fixed.DoEmit): First populate the pinned variables, then emit the
        statement, then clear the variables.  Before I was emitting the
        code once for each fixed piece.


2003-01-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (FlowBranching.MergeChild): A break in a
        SWITCH_SECTION does not leave a loop.  Fixes #36155.

2003-01-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (FlowBranching.CheckOutParameters): `struct_params'
        lives in the same number space than `param_map'.  Fixes #36154.

2003-01-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay (constructor_declaration): Set the
        Constructor.ModFlags before probing for it.  This makes the
        compiler report 514, 515 and 132 (the code was there, but got
        broken). 

        * statement.cs (Goto.Resolve): Set `Returns' to ALWAYS.
        (GotoDefault.Resolve): Set `Returns' to ALWAYS.
        (GotoCase.Resolve): Set `Returns' to ALWAYS.

Tue Jan 7 18:32:24 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * enum.cs: create the enum static fields using the enum type.

Tue Jan 7 18:23:44 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.cs: don't try to create the ParamBuilder for the return
        type if it's not needed (and handle it breaking for the ms runtime
        anyway).

2003-01-06 Jackson Harper <jackson@latitudegeo.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Add REGION flag to #region directives, and add checks to make sure that regions are being poped correctly

2002-12-29  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (get_cmd_arg): Fixups to allow \r to terminate
        the command.   This showed up while compiling the JANET source
        code, which used \r as its only newline separator.

2002-12-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Method.Define): If we are an operator (because it
        reuses our code), then set the SpecialName and HideBySig.  #36128

2002-12-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (FieldExpr.DoResolve): Instead of throwing an
        exception, report error 120 `object reference required'.

        * driver.cs: Add --pause option, used during to measure the size
        of the process as it goes with --timestamp.

        * expression.cs (Invocation.DoResolve): Do not allow methods with
        SpecialName to be invoked.

2002-12-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Small fix to the parser: compute the ascii
        number before adding it.

2002-12-21  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (StandardImplicitConversion): When in an unsafe
        context, we allow conversion between void * to any other pointer
        type. This fixes bug #35973.

2002-12-20 Jackson Harper <jackson@latitudegeo.com>

        * codegen.cs: Use Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension so an exception
        is not thrown when extensionless outputs are used 

2002-12-20  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * rootcontext.cs: fixed compilation of corlib.

2002-12-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs (Attributes.Contains): Add new method.

        * class.cs (MethodCore.LabelParameters): if the parameter is an
        `out' parameter, check that no attribute `[In]' has been passed.

        * enum.cs: Handle the `value__' name in an enumeration.

2002-12-14  Jaroslaw Kowalski <jarek@atm.com.pl>

        * decl.cs: Added special case to allow overrides on "protected
        internal" methods

2002-12-18  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs (Attributes.AddAttributeSection): Rename to this
        since it makes much more sense.

        (Attributes.ctor): Don't require a Location parameter.

        * rootcontext.cs (AddGlobalAttributeSection): Rename again.

        * attribute.cs (ApplyAttributes): Remove extra Location parameters
        since we already have that information per attribute.

        * everywhere : make appropriate changes.

        * class.cs (LabelParameters): Write the code which actually
        applies attributes to the return type. We can't do this on the MS
        .NET runtime so we flag a warning in the case an exception is
        thrown.

2002-12-18  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * const.cs: Handle implicit null conversions here too.

2002-12-17  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (MethodCore.LabelParameters): Remove the extra
        Type [] parameter since it is completely unnecessary. Instead
        pass in the method's attributes so that we can extract
        the "return" attribute.

2002-12-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay (parse): Use Report.Error to flag errors instead
        of ignoring it and letting the compile continue.

        * typemanager.cs (ChangeType): use an extra argument to return an
        error condition instead of throwing an exception.

2002-12-15  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Unary.TryReduce): mimic the code for the regular
        code path.  Perform an implicit cast in the cases where we can
        implicitly convert to one of the integral types, and then reduce
        based on that constant.   This fixes bug #35483.

2002-12-14  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs: fixed cut & paste error in GetRemoveMethod.

2002-12-13  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * namespace.cs: fixed bug #35489.

2002-12-12  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs: Remove some dead code.

        * cs-parser.jay: Estimate the number of methods needed
        (RootContext.MethodCount);

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Use char arrays for parsing identifiers and
        numbers instead of StringBuilders.

        * support.cs (PtrHashtable): Add constructor with initial size;
        We can now reduce reallocations of the method table.

2002-12-10  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs (ApplyAttributes): Keep track of the emitted
        attributes on a per-target basis. This fixes bug #35413.

2002-12-10  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs (MainDriver): On rotor encoding 28591 does not exist,
        default to the Windows 1252 encoding.

        (UnixParseOption): Support version, thanks to Alp for the missing
        pointer. 

        * AssemblyInfo.cs: Add nice assembly information.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Add fix from Felix to the #if/#else handler
        (bug 35169).

        * cs-parser.jay: Allow a trailing comma before the close bracked
        in the attribute_section production.

        * ecore.cs (FieldExpr.AddressOf): Until I figure out why the
        address of the instance was being taken, I will take this out,
        because we take the address of the object immediately here.

2002-12-09  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (AreMultipleAllowed): Take care of the most
        obvious case where attribute type is not in the current assembly -
        stupid me ;-)

2002-12-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName.DoResolve): First perform lookups on using
        definitions, instead of doing that afterwards.  

        Also we use a nice little hack, depending on the constructor, we
        know if we are a "composed" name or a simple name.  Hence, we
        avoid the IndexOf test, and we avoid 

        * codegen.cs: Add code to assist in a bug reporter to track down
        the source of a compiler crash. 

2002-12-07  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.ApplyAttributes) : Keep track of which attribute
        types have been emitted for a given element and flag an error
        if something which does not have AllowMultiple set is used more
        than once.

        * typemanager.cs (RegisterAttributeAllowMultiple): Keep track of
        attribute types and their corresponding AllowMultiple properties

        (AreMultipleAllowed): Check the property for a given type.

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.ApplyAttributes): Register the AllowMultiple
        property in the case we have a TypeContainer.

        (Attributes.AddAttribute): Detect duplicates and just skip on
        adding them. This trivial fix catches a pretty gross error in our
        attribute emission - global attributes were being emitted twice!

        Bugzilla bug #33187 is now fixed.

2002-12-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (pp_expr): Properly recurse here (use pp_expr
        instead of pp_and).

        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): I can only use the
        Concat (string, string, string) and Concat (string, string,
        string, string) if the child is actually a concatenation of
        strings. 

2002-12-04  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Small fix, because decimal_digits is used in a
        context where we need a 2-character lookahead.

        * pending.cs (PendingImplementation): Rework so we can keep track
        of interface types all the time, and flag those which were
        implemented by parents as optional.

2002-12-03  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): Use
        String.Concat(string,string,string) or
        String.Concat(string,string,string,string) when possible. 

        * typemanager: More helper methods.


Tue Dec 3 19:32:04 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * pending.cs: remove the bogus return from GetMissingInterfaces()
        (see the 2002-11-06 entry: the mono runtime is now fixed in cvs).

2002-12-02  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * namespace.cs: avoid duplicated 'using xxx' being added to
        using_clauses. This prevents mcs from issuing and 'ambiguous type' error
        when we get more than one 'using' statement for the same namespace.
        Report a CS0105 warning for it.

2002-11-30  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (consume_identifier): use read directly, instead
        of calling getChar/putback, uses internal knowledge of it.    

        (xtoken): Reorder tokenizer so most common patterns are checked
        first.  This reduces the compilation time in another 5% (from 8.11s
        average to 7.73s for bootstrapping mcs on my Mobile p4/1.8ghz).

        The parsing time is 22% of the compilation in mcs, and from that
        64% is spent on the tokenization process.  

        I tried using a binary search for keywords, but this is slower
        than the hashtable.  Another option would be to do a couple of
        things:

                * Not use a StringBuilder, instead use an array of chars,
                  with a set value.  Notice that this way we could catch
                  the 645 error without having to do it *afterwards*.

                * We could write a hand-parser to avoid the hashtable
                  compares altogether.

        The identifier consumption process takes 37% of the tokenization
        time.  Another 15% is spent on is_number.  56% of the time spent
        on is_number is spent on Int64.Parse:

                * We could probably choose based on the string length to
                  use Int32.Parse or Int64.Parse and avoid all the 64-bit
                  computations. 

        Another 3% is spend on wrapping `xtoken' in the `token' function.

        Handle 0xa0 as whitespace (#34752)

2002-11-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (IsCLRType): New routine to tell whether a type
        is one of the builtin types.  

        Maybe it needs to use TypeCodes to be faster.  Maybe we could use
        typecode in more places instead of doing pointer comparissions.
        We could leverage some knowledge about the way the typecodes are
        laid out.

        New code to cache namespaces in assemblies, it is currently not
        invoked, to be used soon.

        * decl.cs (DeclSpace.MakeFQN): Simple optimization.

        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): specially handle
        strings, and do not perform user-defined operator overloading for
        built-in types.

2002-11-24  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Avoid calling Char.IsDigit which is an
        internalcall as it is a pretty simple operation;  Avoid whenever
        possible to call Char.IsLetter.

        (consume_identifier): Cut by half the number of
        hashtable calls by merging the is_keyword and GetKeyword behavior.

        Do not short-circuit, because if we do, we
        report errors (ie, #if false && true would produce an invalid
        directive error);


2002-11-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Cast.TryReduce): If we're in checked syntax,
        check constant ranges and report a CS0221.  Fixes #33186.

2002-11-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Make this work for uninitialized variable
        declarations in the `for' initializer.  Fixes #32416.

2002-11-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (Expression.ConvertExplicit): Make casting from/to
        System.Enum actually work.  Fixes bug #32269, added verify-6.cs.

2002-11-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Binary.DoNumericPromotions): Added `check_user_conv'
        argument; if true, we also check for user-defined conversions.
        This is only needed if both arguments are of a user-defined type.
        Fixes #30443, added test-175.cs.
        (Binary.ForceConversion): Pass the location argument to ConvertImplicit.

        * ecore.cs (Expression.ImplicitUserConversionExists): New method.

2002-11-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (ArrayAccess.GetStoreOpcode): New public static
        function to get the store opcode.
        (Invocation.EmitParams): Call ArrayAccess.GetStoreOpcode() and
        only emit the Ldelema if the store opcode is Stobj.  You must run
        both test-34 and test-167 to test this.  Fixes #34529.

2002-11-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (Expression.MemberLookup): Added additional
        `qualifier_type' argument which is used when we're being called
        from MemberAccess.DoResolve() and null if we're called from a
        SimpleName lookup.
        (Expression.MemberLookupFailed): New method to report errors; this
        does the CS1540 check and reports the correct error message.

        * typemanager.cs (MemberLookup): Added additional `qualifier_type'
        argument for the CS1540 check and redone the way how we're dealing
        with private members.  See the comment in the source code for details.
        (FilterWithClosure): Reverted this back to revision 1.197; renamed
        `closure_start_type' to `closure_qualifier_type' and check whether
        it's not null.  It was not this filter being broken, it was just
        being called with the wrong arguments.

        * expression.cs (MemberAccess.DoResolve): use MemberLookupFinal()
        and pass it the correct `qualifier_type'; this also does the error
        handling for us.

2002-11-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Invocation.EmitParams): If the we are dealing
        with a non-built-in value type, load its address as well.

        (ArrayCreation): Use a a pretty constant instead
        of the hardcoded value 2.   Use 6 instead of 2 for the number of
        static initializers.  

        (ArrayCreation.EmitDynamicInitializers): Peel enumerations,
        because they are not really value types, just glorified integers. 

        * driver.cs: Do not append .exe, the CSC compiler does not do it.

        * ecore.cs: Remove redundant code for enumerations, make them use
        the same code path as everything else, fixes the casting issue
        with enumerations in Windows.Forms.

        * attribute.cs: Do only cast to string if it is a string, the
        validation happens later.

        * typemanager.cs: Temproary hack to avoid a bootstrap issue until
        people upgrade their corlibs.

        * ecore.cs: Oops, enumerations were not following the entire code path

2002-11-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (FilterWithClosure): Commented out the test for
        1540 in typemanager.cs, as it has problems when accessing
        protected methods from a parent class (see test-174.cs). 

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.ValidateGuid): new method.
        (Attribute.Resolve): Use above.

2002-11-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * enum.cs: In FindMembers, perform a recursive lookup for values. (34308)

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName.SimpleNameResolve): Remove the special
        handling for enumerations, as we only needed the TypeContainer
        functionality to begin with (this is required for the fix below to
        work for enums that reference constants in a container class for
        example). 

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext): Make TypeContainer a DeclSpace.

        * enum.cs (Enum.Define): Use `this' instead of parent, so we have
        a valid TypeBuilder to perform lookups on.o

        * class.cs (InheritableMemberSignatureCompare): Use true in the
        call to GetGetMethod and GetSetMethod, because we are comparing
        the signature, and we need to get the methods *even* if they are
        private. 

        (PropertyBase.CheckBase): ditto.

        * statement.cs (Switch.ResolveAndReduce, Block.EmitMeta,
        GotoCase.Resolve): Use Peel on EmpytCasts.

        * ecore.cs (EmptyCast): drop child, add Peel method.

2002-11-17  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (EmptyCast.Child): New public property.

        * statement.cs (SwitchLabel.ResolveAndReduce): Check whether the
        label resolved to an EmptyCast.  Fixes #34162.
        (GotoCase.Resolve): Likewise.
        (Block.EmitMeta): Likewise.

2002-11-17  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Invocation.BetterConversion): Prefer int over
        uint; short over ushort; long over ulong for integer literals.
        Use ImplicitConversionExists instead of StandardConversionExists
        since we also need to check for user-defined implicit conversions.
        Fixes #34165.  Added test-173.cs.

2002-11-16  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Binary.EmitBranchable): Eliminate comparisions
        with the `true' and `false' literals.  Fixes #33151.

2002-11-16  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (RealMemberLookup): Reverted Miguel's patch from
        October 22nd; don't do the cs1540 check for static members.

        * ecore.cs (PropertyExpr.ResolveAccessors): Rewrote this; we're
        now using our own filter here and doing the cs1540 check again.

2002-11-16  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * support.cs (InternalParameters): Don't crash if we don't have
        any fixed parameters.  Fixes #33532.

2002-11-16  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * decl.cs (MemberCache.AddMethods): Use BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy
        when looking up static methods to make this work on Windows.
        Fixes #33773.

2002-11-16  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (PropertyExpr.VerifyAssignable): Check whether we have
        a setter rather than using PropertyInfo.CanWrite.

2002-11-15  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * class.cs: Allow acces to block member by subclasses. Fixes build
        breaker.

2002-11-14  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Constructor.Emit): Added the extern/block check.
        Fixes bug #33678.

2002-11-14  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (IndexerAccess.DoResolve): Do a DeclaredOnly
        iteration while looking for indexers, this is needed because the
        indexer may have a different name in our base classes.  Fixed the
        error reporting (no indexers at all, not get accessor, no
        overloaded match).  Fixes bug #33089.
        (IndexerAccess.DoResolveLValue): Likewise.

2002-11-14  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (PropertyBase.CheckBase): Make this work for multiple
        indexers.  Fixes the first part of bug #33089.
        (MethodSignature.InheritableMemberSignatureCompare): Added support
        for properties.

2002-11-13  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.Resolve): Catch the
        NullReferenceException and report it since it isn't supposed to
        happen. 

2002-11-12  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Binary.EmitBranchable): Also handle the cases for
        LogicalOr and LogicalAnd that can benefit from recursively
        handling EmitBranchable.  The code now should be nice for Paolo.

2002-11-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (LookupType): Added a negative-hit hashtable for
        the Type lookups, as we perform quite a number of lookups on
        non-Types.  This can be removed once we can deterministically tell
        whether we have a type or a namespace in advance.

        But this might require special hacks from our corlib.

        * TODO: updated.

        * ecore.cs (TryImplicitIntConversion): Handle conversions to float
        and double which avoids a conversion from an integer to a double.

        * expression.cs: tiny optimization, avoid calling IsConstant,
        because it effectively performs the lookup twice.

2002-11-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        But a bogus return here to keep the semantics of the old code
        until the Mono runtime is fixed.

        * pending.cs (GetMissingInterfaces): New method used to remove all
        the interfaces that are already implemented by our parent
        classes from the list of pending methods. 

        * interface.cs: Add checks for calls after ResolveTypeExpr.

2002-11-05  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Class.Emit): Report warning 67: event not used if the
        warning level is beyond 3.

        * ecore.cs (Expression.ConvertExplicit): Missed a check for expr
        being a NullLiteral.

        * cs-parser.jay: Fix, Gonzalo reverted the order of the rank
        specifiers. 

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.GetClassBases): Cover a missing code
        path that might fail if a type can not be resolved.

        * expression.cs (Binary.Emit): Emit unsigned versions of the
        operators. 

        * driver.cs: use error 5.

2002-11-02  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@gnome-db.org>

        * cs-parser.jay: simplified a rule and 5 SR conflicts dissapeared.

2002-11-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay (switch_section): A beautiful patch from Martin
        Baulig that fixed 33094.

2002-10-31  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (PropertyExpr.DoResolveLValue, PropertyExpr.DoResolve):
        Check whether the base is abstract and report an error if so.

        * expression.cs (IndexerAccess.DoResolveLValue,
        IndexerAccess.DoResolve): ditto. 

        (Invocation.DoResolve): ditto.

        (Invocation.FullMethodDesc): Improve the report string.

        * statement.cs (Block): Eliminate IsVariableDefined as it is
        basically just a wrapper for GetVariableInfo.

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName): Use new 

        * support.cs (ReflectionParamter.ParameterType): We unwrap the
        type, as we return the actual parameter ref/unref state on a
        different call.

2002-10-30  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * support.cs: Return proper flags REF/OUT fixing the previous
        commit.  

        * expression.cs: Reverted last patch, that was wrong.  Is_ref is
        not used to mean `ref' but `ref or out' in ParameterReference

        * delegate.cs (FullDelegateDesc): use ParameterDesc to get the
        full type signature instead of calling TypeManger.CSharpName
        ourselves. 

        * support.cs (InternalParameters.ParameterDesc): Do not compare
        directly to the modflags, because REF/OUT will actually be bitsets
        if set. 

        * delegate.cs (VerifyMethod): Check also the modifiers.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Fix bug where floating point values with an
        exponent where a sign was missing was ignored.

        * driver.cs: Allow multiple assemblies to be specified in a single
        /r: argument

2002-10-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Ugly.  We had to add a multiplicative_expression,
        because identifiers after a parenthesis would end up in this kind
        of production, and we needed to desamiguate it for having casts
        like:

                (UserDefinedType *) xxx

2002-10-24  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (RealMemberLookup): when we deal with a subclass,
        we should set on the Bindingflags.NonPublic, but not turn on
        private_ok.  private_ok controls whether a Private member is
        returned (this is chekced on the filter routine), while the
        BindingFlags.NonPublic just controls whether private/protected
        will be allowed.   This fixes the problem part of the problem of
        private properties being allowed to be used in derived classes.

        * expression.cs (BaseAccess): Provide an DoResolveLValue method,
        so we can call the children DoResolveLValue method (this will
        properly signal errors on lvalue assignments to base properties)

        * ecore.cs (PropertyExpr.ResolveAccessors): If both setter and
        getter are null, and we have a property info, we know that this
        happened because the lookup failed, so we report an error 122 for
        protection level violation.

        We also silently return if setter and getter are null in the
        resolve functions, this condition only happens if we have flagged
        the error before.  This is the other half of the problem. 

        (PropertyExpr.ResolveAccessors): Turns out that PropertyInfo does
        not have accessibility information, that is why we were returning
        true in the filter function in typemanager.cs.

        To properly report 122 (property is inaccessible because of its
        protection level) correctly, we report this error in ResolveAccess
        by failing if both the setter and the getter are lacking (ie, the
        lookup failed). 

        DoResolve and DoLResolve have been modified to check for both
        setter/getter being null and returning silently, the reason being
        that I did not want to put the knowledge about this error in upper
        layers, like:

        int old = Report.Errors;
        x = new PropertyExpr (...);
        if (old != Report.Errors)
                return null;
        else
                return x;

        So the property expr is returned, but it is invalid, so the error
        will be flagged during the resolve process. 

        * class.cs: Remove InheritablePropertySignatureCompare from the
        class, as we no longer depend on the property signature to compute
        whether it is possible to implement a method or not.

        The reason is that calling PropertyInfo.GetGetMethod will return
        null (in .NET, in Mono it works, and we should change this), in
        cases where the Get Method does not exist in that particular
        class.

        So this code:

        class X { public virtual int A { get { return 1; } } }
        class Y : X { }
        class Z : Y { public override int A { get { return 2; } } }

        Would fail in Z because the parent (Y) would not have the property
        defined.  So we avoid this completely now (because the alternative
        fix was ugly and slow), and we now depend exclusively on the
        method names.

        (PropertyBase.CheckBase): Use a method-base mechanism to find our
        reference method, instead of using the property.

        * typemanager.cs (GetPropertyGetter, GetPropertySetter): These
        routines are gone now.

        * typemanager.cs (GetPropertyGetter, GetPropertySetter): swap the
        names, they were incorrectly named.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Return are more gentle token on failure. 

        * pending.cs (PendingImplementation.InterfaceMethod): This routine
        had an out-of-sync index variable, which caused it to remove from
        the list of pending methods the wrong method sometimes.

2002-10-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (PropertyExpr): Do not use PropertyInfo.CanRead,
        CanWrite, because those refer to this particular instance of the
        property, and do not take into account the fact that we can
        override single members of a property.

        Constructor requires an EmitContext.  The resolution process does
        not happen here, but we need to compute the accessors before,
        because the resolution does not always happen for properties.

        * typemanager.cs (RealMemberLookup): Set private_ok if we are a
        subclass, before we did not update this flag, but we did update
        bindingflags. 

        (GetAccessors): Drop this routine, as it did not work in the
        presence of partially overwritten set/get methods. 

        Notice that this broke the cs1540 detection, but that will require
        more thinking. 

2002-10-22  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * class.cs:
        * codegen.cs:
        * driver.cs: issue a warning instead of an error if we don't support
        debugging for the platform. Also ignore a couple of errors that may
        arise when trying to write the symbols. Undo my previous patch.

2002-10-22  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: ignore /debug switch except for Unix platforms.

2002-10-23  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * makefile: Remove mcs2.exe and mcs3.exe on 'make clean'

2002-10-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: Do not make mcs-debug conditional, so we do not break
        builds that use it.

        * statement.cs (UsageVector.MergeChildren): I would like Martin to
        review this patch.  But basically after all the children variables
        have been merged, the value of "Breaks" was not being set to
        new_breaks for Switch blocks.  I think that it should be set after
        it has executed.  Currently I set this to the value of new_breaks,
        but only if new_breaks is FlowReturn.ALWAYS, which is a bit
        conservative, but I do not understand this code very well.

        I did not break anything in the build, so that is good ;-)

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Also allow \r in comments as a line separator.

2002-10-20  Mark Crichton  <crichton@gimp.org>

        * cfold.cs: Fixed compile blocker.  Really fixed it this time.

2002-10-20  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * cfold.cs: Fixed compile blocker.

2002-10-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: I was chekcing the key, not the file.

2002-10-19  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (UserDefinedConversion): Get rid of the bogus error
        message that we were generating - we just need to silently return
        a null.

2002-10-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Event.Define): Change my previous commit, as this
        breaks the debugger.  This is a temporary hack, as it seems like
        the compiler is generating events incorrectly to begin with.

        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): Added support for 
        "U operator - (E x, E y)"

        * cfold.cs (BinaryFold): Added support for "U operator - (E x, E
        y)".

        * ecore.cs (FieldExpr.AddressOf): We had a special code path for
        init-only variables, but this path did not take into account that
        there might be also instance readonly variables.  Correct this
        problem. 

        This fixes bug 32253

        * delegate.cs (NewDelegate.DoResolve): Catch creation of unsafe
        delegates as well.

        * driver.cs: Change the extension for modules to `netmodule'

        * cs-parser.jay: Improved slightly the location tracking for
        the debugger symbols.

        * class.cs (Event.Define): Use Modifiers.FieldAttr on the
        modifiers that were specified instead of the hardcoded value
        (FamAndAssem).  This was basically ignoring the static modifier,
        and others.  Fixes 32429.

        * statement.cs (Switch.SimpleSwitchEmit): Simplified the code, and
        fixed a bug in the process (32476)

        * expression.cs (ArrayAccess.EmitAssign): Patch from
        hwang_rob@yahoo.ca that fixes bug 31834.3

2002-10-18  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: Make the module extension .netmodule.

2002-10-16  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: Report an error if the resource file is not found
        instead of crashing.

        * ecore.cs (PropertyExpr.EmitAssign): Pass IsBase instead of
        false, like Emit does.

2002-10-16  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * typemanager.cs: Remove unused private member.  Also reported mcs
        bug to report this as a warning like csc.

2002-10-15  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * statement.cs (Statement.Emit): Made this a virtual method; emits
        the line number info and calls DoEmit().
        (Statement.DoEmit): New protected abstract method, formerly knows
        as Statement.Emit().

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.Mark): Check whether we have a symbol writer.

2002-10-11  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs: Following the comment from 2002-09-26 to AddMethod, I
        have fixed a remaining problem: not every AddXXXX was adding a
        fully qualified name.  

        Now everyone registers a fully qualified name in the DeclSpace as
        being defined instead of the partial name.  

        Downsides: we are slower than we need to be due to the excess
        copies and the names being registered this way.  

        The reason for this is that we currently depend (on the corlib
        bootstrap for instance) that types are fully qualified, because
        we dump all the types in the namespace, and we should really have
        types inserted into the proper namespace, so we can only store the
        basenames in the defined_names array.

2002-10-10  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * expression.cs (ArrayAccess.EmitStoreOpcode): Reverted the patch
        from bug #31834, see the bug report for a testcase which is
        miscompiled.

2002-10-10  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.Breaks): Removed, we're now using the
        flow analysis code for this.

        * statement.cs (Do, While, For): Tell the flow analysis code about
        infinite loops.
        (FlowBranching.UsageVector): Added support for infinite loops.
        (Block.Resolve): Moved the dead code elimination here and use flow
        analysis to do it.

2002-10-09  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Field.Define): Catch cycles on struct type
        definitions. 

        * typemanager.cs (IsUnmanagedtype): Do not recursively check
        fields if the fields are static.  We only need to check instance
        fields. 

        * expression.cs (As.DoResolve): Test for reference type.

        * statement.cs (Using.ResolveExpression): Use
        ConvertImplicitRequired, not ConvertImplicit which reports an
        error on failture
        (Using.ResolveLocalVariableDecls): ditto.

        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): Report errors in a few
        places where we had to.

        * typemanager.cs (IsUnmanagedtype): Finish implementation.

2002-10-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs: Use StoreFromPtr instead of extracting the type
        and then trying to use Stelem.  Patch is from hwang_rob@yahoo.ca

        * ecore.cs (ImplicitReferenceConversion): It is possible to assign
        an enumeration value to a System.Enum, but System.Enum is not a
        value type, but an class type, so we need to box.

        (Expression.ConvertExplicit): One codepath could return
        errors but not flag them.  Fix this.  Fixes #31853

        * parameter.cs (Resolve): Do not allow void as a parameter type.

2002-10-06  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * statemenc.cs (FlowBranching.SetParameterAssigned): Don't crash
        if it's a class type and not a struct.  Fixes #31815.

2002-10-06  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * statement.cs: Reworked the flow analysis code a bit to make it
        usable for dead code elimination.

2002-10-06  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: allow empty source files. Fixes bug #31781.

2002-10-04  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (ComposedCast.DoResolveType): A quick workaround
        to fix the test 165, will investigate deeper.

2002-10-04  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * statement.cs (FlowBranching.UsageVector.MergeChildren): Make
        finally blocks actually work.
        (Try.Resolve): We don't need to create a sibling for `finally' if
        there is no finally block.

2002-10-04  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * class.cs (Constructor.Define): The default accessibility for a
        non-default constructor is private, not public.

2002-10-04  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Constructor): Make AllowedModifiers public, add
        EXTERN.

        * cs-parser.jay: Perform the modifiers test here, as the
        constructor for the Constructor class usually receives a zero
        because of the way we create it (first we create, later we
        customize, and we were never checking the modifiers).

        * typemanager.cs (Typemanager.LookupTypeDirect): This new function
        is a version of LookupTypeReflection that includes the type-name
        cache.  This can be used as a fast path for functions that know
        the fully qualified name and are only calling into *.GetType() to
        obtain a composed type.

        This is also used by TypeManager.LookupType during its type
        composition.

        (LookupType): We now also track the real type name, as sometimes
        we can get a quey for the real type name from things like
        ComposedCast.  This fixes bug 31422.

        * expression.cs (ComposedCast.Resolve): Since we are obtaining a
        complete type fullname, it does not have to go through the type
        resolution system to obtain the composed version of the type (for
        obtaining arrays or pointers).

        (Conditional.Emit): Use the EmitBoolExpression to
        generate nicer code, as requested by Paolo.

        (ArrayCreation.CheckIndices): Use the patch from
        hwang_rob@yahoo.ca to validate the array initializers. 

2002-10-03  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (ConstructorInitializer.Emit): simplify code by using
        Invocation.EmitCall, and at the same time, fix the bugs in calling
        parent constructors that took variable arguments. 

        * ecore.cs (Expression.ConvertNumericExplicit,
        Expression.ImplicitNumericConversion): Remove the code that
        manually wrapped decimal (InternalTypeConstructor call is now gone
        as well).

        * expression.cs (Cast.TryReduce): Also handle decimal types when
        trying to perform a constant fold on the type.

        * typemanager.cs (IsUnmanagedtype): Partially implemented.

        * parameter.cs: Removed ResolveAndDefine, as it was not needed, as
        that only turned off an error report, and did nothing else. 

2002-10-02  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: Handle and ignore /fullpaths

2002-10-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): Catch the case where
        DoNumericPromotions returns true, 

        (Binary.DoNumericPromotions): Simplify the code, and the tests.

2002-09-27  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (EventExpr.Emit): Instead of emitting an exception,
        report error 70.

2002-09-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (ConvertNumericExplicit): It is not enough that the
        conversion exists, but it is also required that the conversion be
        performed.  This manifested in "(Type64Enum) 2".  

        * class.cs (TypeManager.AddMethod): The fix is not to change
        AddEnum, because that one was using a fully qualified name (every
        DeclSpace derivative does), but to change the AddMethod routine
        that was using an un-namespaced name.  This now correctly reports
        the duplicated name.

        Revert patch until I can properly fix it.  The issue
        is that we have a shared Type space across all namespaces
        currently, which is wrong.

        Options include making the Namespace a DeclSpace, and merge
        current_namespace/current_container in the parser.

2002-09-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Improve error reporting when we get a different
        kind of expression in local_variable_type and
        local_variable_pointer_type. 

        Propagate this to avoid missleading errors being reported.

        * ecore.cs (ImplicitReferenceConversion): treat
        TypeManager.value_type as a target just like object_type.   As
        code like this:

        ValueType v = 1;

        Is valid, and needs to result in the int 1 being boxed before it
        is assigned to the value type v.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.AddEnum): Use the basename, not the name
        to validate the enumeration name.

        * expression.cs (ArrayAccess.EmitAssign): Mimic the same test from
        EmitDynamicInitializers for the criteria to use Ldelema.  Thanks
        to hwang_rob@yahoo.ca for finding the bug and providing a patch.

        * ecore.cs (TryImplicitIntConversion): When doing an
        implicit-enumeration-conversion, check if the type is 64-bits and
        perform a conversion before passing to EnumConstant.

2002-09-23  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * decl.cs (Error_AmbiguousTypeReference); New routine used to
        report ambiguous type references.  Unlike the MS version, we
        report what the ambiguity is.   Innovation at work ;-)

        (DeclSpace.FindType): Require a location argument to
        display when we display an ambiguous error.

        * ecore.cs: (SimpleName.DoResolveType): Pass location to FindType.

        * interface.cs (GetInterfaceTypeByName): Pass location to FindType.

        * expression.cs (EmitDynamicInitializers): Apply patch from
        hwang_rob@yahoo.ca that fixes the order in which we emit our
        initializers. 

2002-09-21  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * delegate.cs (Delegate.VerifyApplicability): Make this work if the
        delegate takes no arguments.

2002-09-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * constant.cs: Use Conv_U8 instead of Conv_I8 when loading longs
        from integers.

        * expression.cs: Extract the underlying type.

        * ecore.cs (StoreFromPtr): Use TypeManager.IsEnumType instad of IsEnum

        * decl.cs (FindType): Sorry about this, fixed the type lookup bug.

2002-09-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.DefineType): We can not use the nice
        PackingSize with the size set to 1 DefineType method, because it
        will not allow us to define the interfaces that the struct
        implements.

        This completes the fixing of bug 27287

        * ecore.cs (Expresion.ImplicitReferenceConversion): `class-type S'
        means also structs.  This fixes part of the problem. 
        (Expresion.ImplicitReferenceConversionExists): ditto.

        * decl.cs (DeclSparce.ResolveType): Only report the type-not-found
        error if there were no errors reported during the type lookup
        process, to avoid duplicates or redundant errors.  Without this
        you would get an ambiguous errors plus a type not found.  We have
        beaten the user enough with the first error.  

        (DeclSparce.FindType): Emit a warning if we have an ambiguous
        reference. 

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName.DoResolveType): If an error is emitted
        during the resolution process, stop the lookup, this avoids
        repeated error reports (same error twice).

        * rootcontext.cs: Emit a warning if we have an ambiguous reference.

        * typemanager.cs (LookupType): Redo the type lookup code to match
        the needs of System.Reflection.  

        The issue is that System.Reflection requires references to nested
        types to begin with a "+" sign instead of a dot.  So toplevel
        types look like: "NameSpace.TopLevelClass", and nested ones look
        like "Namespace.TopLevelClass+Nested", with arbitrary nesting
        levels. 

2002-09-19  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.EmitTopBlock): If control flow analysis
        says that a method always returns or always throws an exception,
        don't report the CS0161.

        * statement.cs (FlowBranching.UsageVector.MergeChildren): Always
        set `Returns = new_returns'.

2002-09-19  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * expression.cs (MemberAccess.ResolveMemberAccess): When resolving
        to an enum constant, check for a CS0176.

2002-09-18  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.CheckPairedOperators): Now we check
        for operators that must be in pairs and report errors.

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName.DoResolveType): During the initial type
        resolution process, when we define types recursively, we must
        check first for types in our current scope before we perform
        lookups in the enclosing scopes.

        * expression.cs (MakeByteBlob): Handle Decimal blobs.

        (Invocation.VerifyArgumentsCompat): Call
        TypeManager.TypeToCoreType on the parameter_type.GetElementType.
        I thought we were supposed to always call this, but there are a
        few places in the code where we dont do it.

2002-09-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: Add support in -linkres and -resource to specify the
        name of the identifier.

2002-09-16  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (StandardConversionExists): Sync with the conversion
        code: allow anything-* to void* conversions.

        (FindMostSpecificSource): Use an Expression argument
        instead of a Type, because we might be handed over a Literal which
        gets a few more implicit conversions that plain types do not.  So
        this information was being lost.

        Also, we drop the temporary type-holder expression when not
        required.

2002-09-17  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * class.cs (PropertyBase.CheckBase): Don't check the base class if
        this is an explicit interface implementation.

2002-09-17  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * class.cs (PropertyBase.CheckBase): Make this work for indexers with
        different `IndexerName' attributes.

        * expression.cs (BaseIndexerAccess): Rewrote this class to use IndexerAccess.
        (IndexerAccess): Added special protected ctor for BaseIndexerAccess and
        virtual CommonResolve().

2002-09-16  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * enum.cs (LookupEnumValue): Use the EnumConstant declared type,
        and convert that to the UnderlyingType.

        * statement.cs (Foreach.Resolve): Indexers are just like variables
        or PropertyAccesses.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (consume_string): Track line numbers and columns
        inside quoted strings, we were not doing this before.

2002-09-16  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * ecore.cs (MethodGroupExpr.DoResolve): If we have an instance expression,
        resolve it.  This is needed for the definite assignment check of the
        instance expression, fixes bug #29846.
        (PropertyExpr.DoResolve, EventExpr.DoResolve): Likewise.

2002-09-16  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * parameter.cs: Fix compile error.  Cannot reference static member
        from an instance object.  Is this an mcs bug?

2002-09-14  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * decl.cs (MemberCache.SetupCacheForInterface): Don't add an interface
        multiple times.  Fixes bug #30295, added test-166.cs.

2002-09-14  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * statement.cs (Block.Emit): Don't emit unreachable code.
        (Switch.SimpleSwitchEmit, Switch.TableSwitchEmit): Check for missing
        `break' statements.
        (Goto.Emit, Continue.Emit): Set ec.Breaks = true.

2002-09-14  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * parameter.cs (Parameter.Attributes): Make this work if Modifier.ISBYREF
        is set.

2002-09-14  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.IsNestedChildOf): This must return false
        if `type == parent' since in this case `type.IsSubclassOf (parent)' will
        be false on the ms runtime.

2002-09-13  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName.SimpleNameResolve): Include the member name in
        the CS0038 error message.

2002-09-12  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (CheckedExpr, UnCheckedExpr): If we have a
        constant inside, return it.

2002-09-12  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * cfold.cs (ConstantFold.DoConstantNumericPromotions): Check whether an
        implicit conversion can be done between enum types.

        * enum.cs (Enum.LookupEnumValue): If the value is an EnumConstant,
        check whether an implicit conversion to the current enum's UnderlyingType
        exists and report an error if not.

        * codegen.cs (CodeGen.Init): Delete the symbol file when compiling
        without debugging support.

        * delegate.cs (Delegate.CloseDelegate): Removed, use CloseType instead.
        Fixes bug #30235.  Thanks to Ricardo Fernández Pascual.

2002-09-12  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.IsNestedChildOf): New method.

        * ecore.cs (IMemberExpr.DeclaringType): New property.
        (SimpleName.SimpleNameResolve): Check whether we're accessing a
        nonstatic member of an outer type (CS0038).

2002-09-11  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: Activate the using-error detector at warning level
        4 (at least for MS-compatible APIs).

        * namespace.cs (VerifyUsing): Small buglett fix.

        * pending.cs (PendingImplementation): pass the container pointer. 

        * interface.cs (GetMethods): Allow for recursive definition.  Long
        term, I would like to move every type to support recursive
        definitions, not the current ordering mechanism that we have right
        now.

        The situation is this: Attributes are handled before interfaces,
        so we can apply attributes to interfaces.  But some attributes
        implement interfaces, we will now handle the simple cases
        (recursive definitions will just get an error).  

        * parameter.cs: Only invalidate types at the end if we fail to
        lookup all types.  

2002-09-09  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * ecore.cs (PropertyExpr.Emit): Also check for
        TypeManager.system_int_array_get_length so this'll also work when
        compiling corlib.  Fixes #30003.

2002-09-09  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * expression.cs (ArrayCreation.MakeByteBlob): Added support for enums
        and throw an exception if we can't get the type's size.  Fixed #30040,
        added test-165.cs.

2002-09-09  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * ecore.cs (PropertyExpr.DoResolve): Added check for static properies.

        * expression.cs (SizeOf.DoResolve): Sizeof is only allowed in unsafe
        context.  Fixes bug #30027.

        * delegate.cs (NewDelegate.Emit): Use OpCodes.Ldvirtftn for
        virtual functions.  Fixes bug #30043, added test-164.cs.

2002-09-08  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs : Fix a small NullRef crash thanks to my stupidity.

2002-09-08  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * driver.cs: Use an object to get the windows codepage since it's not a
        static property.

2002-09-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (For.Emit): for infinite loops (test == null)
        return whether there is a break inside, not always "true".

        * namespace.cs (UsingEntry): New struct to hold the name of the
        using definition, the location where it is defined, and whether it
        has been used in a successful type lookup.

        * rootcontext.cs (NamespaceLookup): Use UsingEntries instead of
        strings.

        * decl.cs: ditto.

2002-09-06  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs : Fix incorrect code which relied on catching
        a NullReferenceException to detect a null being passed in
        where an object was expected.

2002-09-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Try): flag the catch variable as assigned

        * expression.cs (Cast): Simplified by using ResolveType instead of
        manually resolving.

        * statement.cs (Catch): Fix bug by using ResolveType.

2002-09-06  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (BetterConversion): Special case for when we have
        a NullLiteral as the argument and we have to choose between string
        and object types - we choose string the way csc does.

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.Resolve): Catch the
        NullReferenceException and report error #182 since the Mono
        runtime no more has the bug and having this exception raised means
        we tried to select a constructor which takes an object and is
        passed a null.

2002-09-05  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Invocation.OverloadResolve): Flag a nicer error
        message (1502, 1503) when we can't locate a method after overload
        resolution. This is much more informative and closes the bug
        Miguel reported.

        * interface.cs (PopulateMethod): Return if there are no argument
        types. Fixes a NullReferenceException bug.

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.Resolve): Ensure we allow TypeOf
        expressions too. Previously we were checking only in one place for
        positional arguments leaving out named arguments.

        * ecore.cs (ImplicitNumericConversion): Conversion from underlying
        type to the enum type is not allowed. Remove code corresponding to
        that.

        (ConvertNumericExplicit): Allow explicit conversions from
        the underlying type to enum type. This precisely follows the spec
        and closes a bug filed by Gonzalo.

2002-09-04  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * compiler.csproj:
        * compiler.csproj.user: patch from Adam Chester (achester@bigpond.com).

2002-09-03  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (SwitchLabel.ResolveAndReduce): In the string case,
        it was important that we stored the right value after the
        reduction in `converted'.

2002-09-04  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * location.cs (Location.SymbolDocument): Use full pathnames for the
        source files.

2002-08-30  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (ComposedCast): Use DeclSparce.ResolveType instead
        of the expression resolve mechanism, because that will catch the
        SimpleName error failures.

        (Conditional): If we can not resolve the
        expression, return, do not crash.

2002-08-29  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs:
        (location): display token name instead of its number.

2002-08-28  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): Don't silently return
        but return an error if an operator cannot be applied between two
        enum types.

2002-08-28  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * class.cs (Constructor.Define): Set the permission attributes
        correctly instead of making all constructors public.

2002-08-28  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * ecore.cs (Expression.DoResolve): Do a TypeManager.MemberLook
        for private members before reporting a CS0103; if we find anything,
        it's a CS0122.

2002-08-28  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.FilterWithClosure): It's not enough
        to check whether `closure_start_type == closure_invocation_type',
        we also need to check whether `m.DeclaringType == closure_invocation_type'
        before bypassing the permission checks.  We might be accessing
        protected/private members from the base class.
        (TypeManager.RealMemberLookup): Only set private_ok if private
        members were requested via BindingFlags.NonPublic.

        * ecore.cs (MethodGroupExpr.IsExplicitImpl): New property.

        * expression.cs (MemberAccess.ResolveMemberAccess): Set
        MethodGroupExpr.IsExplicitImpl if appropriate.
        (Invocation.DoResolve): Don't report the CS0120 for explicit
        interface implementations.

2002-08-27  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * expression.cs (Invocation.DoResolve): If this is a static
        method and we don't have an InstanceExpression, we must report
        a CS0120.

2002-08-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): Don't allow `!=' and
        `==' between a valuetype and an object.

2002-08-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (TypeExpr): Provide a ToString method.

2002-08-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * codegen.cs (CodeGen.InitMonoSymbolWriter): The symbol file is
        now called proggie.dbg and it's a binary file.

2002-08-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * decl.cs (MemberCache.AddMethods): Ignore varargs methods.

2002-08-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * struct.cs (MyStructInfo.ctor): Make this work with empty
        structs; it's not allowed to use foreach() on null.

2002-08-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * codegen.cs (CodeGen.InitMonoSymbolWriter): Tell the symbol
        writer the full pathname of the generated assembly.

2002-08-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * statements.cs (FlowBranching.UsageVector.MergeChildren):
        A `finally' block never returns or breaks; improved handling of
        unreachable code.

2002-08-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * statement.cs (Throw.Resolve): Allow `throw null'.

2002-08-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * expression.cs (MemberAccess.ResolveMemberAccess): If this is an
        EventExpr, don't do a DeclaredOnly MemberLookup, but check whether
        `ee.EventInfo.DeclaringType == ec.ContainerType'.  The
        MemberLookup would return a wrong event if this is an explicit
        interface implementation and the class has an event with the same
        name.

2002-08-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * statement.cs (Block.AddChildVariableNames): New public method.
        (Block.AddChildVariableName): Likewise.
        (Block.IsVariableNameUsedInChildBlock): Likewise.
        (Block.AddVariable): Check whether a variable name has already
        been used in a child block.

        * cs-parser.jay (declare_local_variables): Mark all variable names
        from the current block as being used in a child block in the
        implicit block.

2002-08-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * codegen.cs (CodeGen.InitializeSymbolWriter): Abort if we can't
        find the symbol writer.

        * driver.cs: csc also allows the arguments to /define being
        separated by commas, not only by semicolons.

2002-08-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * interface.cs (Interface.GetMembers): Added static check for events.

2002-08-15  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * class.cs (MethodData.EmitDestructor): In the Expression.MemberLookup
        call, use ec.ContainerType.BaseType as queried_type and invocation_type.

        * ecore.cs (Expression.MemberLookup): Added documentation and explained
        why the MethodData.EmitDestructor() change was necessary.

2002-08-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.FindMembers): Added static check for events.

        * decl.cs (MemberCache.AddMembers): Handle events like normal members.

        * typemanager.cs (TypeHandle.GetMembers): When queried for events only,
        use Type.GetEvents(), not Type.FindMembers().

2002-08-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * decl.cs (MemberCache): Added a special method cache which will
        be used for method-only searched.  This ensures that a method
        search will return a MethodInfo with the correct ReflectedType for
        inherited methods.      

2002-08-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * decl.cs (DeclSpace.FindMembers): Made this public.

2002-08-20  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * delegate.cs: fixed build on windows.
        [FIXME:  Filed as bug #29150: MCS must report these errors.]

2002-08-19  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (StandardConversionExists): Return a false
        if we are trying to convert the void type to anything else
        since that is not allowed.

        * delegate.cs (DelegateInvocation.DoResolve): Ensure that
        we flag error 70 in the event an event is trying to be accessed
        directly from outside the declaring type.

2002-08-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * typemanager.cs, decl.cs: Moved MemberList, IMemberContainer and
        MemberCache from typemanager.cs to decl.cs.

2002-08-19  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer): Implement IMemberContainer.
        (TypeContainer.DefineMembers): Create the MemberCache.
        (TypeContainer.FindMembers): Do better BindingFlags checking; only
        return public members if BindingFlags.Public was given, check
        whether members are static.

2002-08-16  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * decl.cs (DeclSpace.Define): Splitted this in Define and
        DefineMembers.  DefineMembers is called first and initializes the
        MemberCache.

        * rootcontext.cs (RootContext.DefineMembers): New function.  Calls
        DefineMembers() on all our DeclSpaces.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.Define): Moved all code to DefineMembers(),
        but call DefineMembers() on all nested interfaces.  We call their
        Define() in our new Define() function.

        * interface.cs (Interface): Implement IMemberContainer.
        (Interface.Define): Moved all code except the attribute stuf to
        DefineMembers().
        (Interface.DefineMembers): Initialize the member cache.

        * typemanager.cs (IMemberFinder): Removed this interface, we don't
        need this anymore since we can use MemberCache.FindMembers directly.

2002-08-19  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * typemanager.cs (MemberCache): When creating the cache for an
        interface type, add all inherited members.
        (TypeManager.MemberLookup_FindMembers): Changed `ref bool searching'
        to `out bool used_cache' and documented it.
        (TypeManager.MemberLookup): If we already used the cache in the first
        iteration, we don't need to do the interfaces check.

2002-08-19  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * decl.cs (DeclSpace.FindMembers): New abstract method.  Moved this
        here from IMemberFinder and don't implement this interface anymore.
        (DeclSpace.MemberCache): Moved here from IMemberFinder.

        * typemanager.cs (IMemberFinder): This interface is now only used by
        classes which actually support the member cache.
        (TypeManager.builder_to_member_finder): Renamed to builder_to_declspace
        since we only put DeclSpaces into this Hashtable.
        (MemberLookup_FindMembers): Use `builder_to_declspace' if the type is
        a dynamic type and TypeHandle.GetTypeHandle() otherwise.

2002-08-16  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * typemanager.cs (ICachingMemberFinder): Removed.
        (IMemberFinder.MemberCache): New property.
        (TypeManager.FindMembers): Merged this with RealFindMembers().
        This function will never be called from TypeManager.MemberLookup()
        so we can't use the cache here, just the IMemberFinder.
        (TypeManager.MemberLookup_FindMembers): Check whether the
        IMemberFinder has a MemberCache and call the cache's FindMembers
        function.
        (MemberCache): Rewrote larger parts of this yet another time and
        cleaned it up a bit.

2002-08-15  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs (LoadArgs): Support quoting.

        (Usage): Show the CSC-like command line arguments.

        Improved a few error messages.

2002-08-15  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * typemanager.cs (IMemberContainer.Type): New property.
        (IMemberContainer.IsInterface): New property.

        The following changes are conditional to BROKEN_RUNTIME, which is
        defined at the top of the file.

        * typemanager.cs (MemberCache.MemberCache): Don't add the base
        class'es members, but add all members from TypeHandle.ObjectType
        if we're an interface.
        (MemberCache.AddMembers): Set the Declared flag if member.DeclaringType
        is the current type.
        (MemberCache.CacheEntry.Container): Removed this field.
        (TypeHandle.GetMembers): Include inherited members.

2002-08-14  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs: fixed compilation and added a comment on a field that
        is never used.

2002-08-15  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * class.cs (ConstructorInitializer.Resolve): In the
        Expression.MemberLookup call, use the queried_type as
        invocation_type.

        * typemanager.cs (IMemberContainer.GetMembers): Removed the `bool
        declared' attribute, it's always true.
        (IMemberContainer.Parent, IMemberContainer.Name): New properties.
        (TypeManager.MemberLookup_FindMembers): [FIXME FIXME FIXME] Added
        temporary wrapper for FindMembers which tells MemberLookup whether
        members from the base classes are included in the return value.
        This will go away soon.
        (TypeManager.MemberLookup): Use this temporary hack here; once the
        new MemberCache is completed, we don't need to do the DeclaredOnly
        looping here anymore since the MemberCache will take care of this.
        (TypeManager.IsSubclassOrNestedChildOf): Allow `type == parent'.
        (MemberCache): When creating the MemberCache for a class, get
        members from the current class and all its base classes.
        (MemberCache.CacheEntry.Container): New field.  This is a
        temporary hack until the Mono runtime is fixed to distinguish
        between ReflectedType and DeclaringType.  It allows us to use MCS
        with both the MS runtime and the unfixed Mono runtime without
        problems and without accecting performance.
        (MemberCache.SearchMembers): The DeclaredOnly looping from
        TypeManager.MemberLookup is now done here.      

2002-08-14  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * statement.cs (MyStructInfo.MyStructInfo): Don't call
        Type.GetFields on dynamic types but get the fields from the
        corresponding TypeContainer.
        (MyStructInfo.GetStructInfo): Added check for enum types.

        * typemanager.cs (MemberList.IsSynchronized): Implemented.
        (MemberList.SyncRoot): Implemented.
        (TypeManager.FilterWithClosure): No need to check permissions if
        closure_start_type == closure_invocation_type, don't crash if
        closure_invocation_type is null.

2002-08-13  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        Rewrote TypeContainer.FindMembers to use a member cache.  This
        gives us a speed increase of about 35% for the self-hosting MCS
        build and of about 15-20% for the class libs (both on GNU/Linux).

        * report.cs (Timer): New class to get enhanced profiling.  This
        whole class is "TIMER" conditional since it remarkably slows down
        compilation speed.

        * class.cs (MemberList): New class.  This is an IList wrapper
        which we're now using instead of passing MemberInfo[]'s around to
        avoid copying this array unnecessarily.
        (IMemberFinder.FindMember): Return a MemberList, not a MemberInfo [].
        (ICachingMemberFinder, IMemberContainer): New interface.
        (TypeManager.FilterWithClosure): If `criteria' is null, the name
        has already been checked, otherwise use it for the name comparision.
        (TypeManager.FindMembers): Renamed to RealMemberFinder and
        provided wrapper which tries to use ICachingMemberFinder.FindMembers
        if possible.  Returns a MemberList, not a MemberInfo [].
        (TypeHandle): New class, implements IMemberContainer.  We create
        one instance of this class per type, it contains a MemberCache
        which is used to do the member lookups.
        (MemberCache): New class.  Each instance of this class contains
        all members of a type and a name-based hash table.
        (MemberCache.FindMembers): This is our new member lookup
        function.  First, it looks up all members of the requested name in
        the hash table.  Then, it walks this list and sorts out all
        applicable members and returns them.

2002-08-13  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        In addition to a nice code cleanup, this gives us a performance
        increase of about 1.4% on GNU/Linux - not much, but it's already
        half a second for the self-hosting MCS compilation.

        * typemanager.cs (IMemberFinder): New interface.  It is used by
        TypeManager.FindMembers to call FindMembers on a TypeContainer,
        Enum, Delegate or Interface.
        (TypeManager.finder_to_member_finder): New PtrHashtable.
        (TypeManager.finder_to_container): Removed.
        (TypeManager.finder_to_delegate): Removed.
        (TypeManager.finder_to_interface): Removed.
        (TypeManager.finder_to_enum): Removed.

        * interface.cs (Interface): Implement IMemberFinder.

        * delegate.cs (Delegate): Implement IMemberFinder.

        * enum.cs (Enum): Implement IMemberFinder.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer): Implement IMemberFinder.

2002-08-12  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * ecore.cs (TypeExpr.DoResolveType): Mark this as virtual.

2002-08-12  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * ecore.cs (ITypeExpression): New interface for expressions which
        resolve to a type.
        (TypeExpression): Renamed to TypeLookupExpression.
        (Expression.DoResolve): If we're doing a types-only lookup, the
        expression must implement the ITypeExpression interface and we
        call DoResolveType() on it.
        (SimpleName): Implement the new ITypeExpression interface.
        (SimpleName.SimpleNameResolve): Removed the ec.OnlyLookupTypes
        hack, the situation that we're only looking up types can't happen
        anymore when this method is called.  Moved the type lookup code to
        DoResolveType() and call it.
        (SimpleName.DoResolveType): This ITypeExpression interface method
        is now doing the types-only lookup.
        (TypeExpr, TypeLookupExpression): Implement ITypeExpression.
        (ResolveFlags): Added MaskExprClass.

        * expression.cs (MemberAccess): Implement the ITypeExpression
        interface.
        (MemberAccess.DoResolve): Added support for a types-only lookup
        when we're called via ITypeExpression.DoResolveType().
        (ComposedCast): Implement the ITypeExpression interface.

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.OnlyLookupTypes): Removed.  Call
        Expression.Resolve() with ResolveFlags.Type instead.

2002-08-12  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * interface.cs (Interface.Define): Apply attributes.

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.ApplyAttributes): Added support for
        interface attributes.

2002-08-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * statement.cs (Block.Emit): Only check the "this" variable if we
        do not always throw an exception.

        * ecore.cs (PropertyExpr.DoResolveLValue): Implemented, check
        whether the property has a set accessor.

2002-08-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        Added control flow analysis support for structs.

        * ecore.cs (ResolveFlags): Added `DisableFlowAnalysis' to resolve
        with control flow analysis turned off.
        (IVariable): New interface.
        (SimpleName.SimpleNameResolve): If MemberAccess.ResolveMemberAccess
        returns an IMemberExpr, call DoResolve/DoResolveLValue on it.
        (FieldExpr.DoResolve): Resolve the instance expression with flow
        analysis turned off and do the definite assignment check after the
        resolving when we know what the expression will resolve to.

        * expression.cs (LocalVariableReference, ParameterReference):
        Implement the new IVariable interface, only call the flow analysis
        code if ec.DoFlowAnalysis is true.
        (This): Added constructor which takes a Block argument.  Implement
        the new IVariable interface.
        (MemberAccess.DoResolve, MemberAccess.DoResolveLValue): Call
        DoResolve/DoResolveLValue on the result of ResolveMemberLookup().
        This does the definite assignment checks for struct members.

        * class.cs (Constructor.Emit): If this is a non-static `struct'
        constructor which doesn't have any initializer, call
        Block.AddThisVariable() to tell the flow analysis code that all
        struct elements must be initialized before control returns from
        the constructor.

        * statement.cs (MyStructInfo): New public class.
        (UsageVector.this [VariableInfo vi]): Added `int field_idx'
        argument to this indexer.  If non-zero, check an individual struct
        member, not the whole struct.
        (FlowBranching.CheckOutParameters): Check struct members.
        (FlowBranching.IsVariableAssigned, SetVariableAssigned): Added
        overloaded versions of these methods which take an additional
        `int field_idx' argument to check struct members.
        (FlowBranching.IsParameterAssigned, SetParameterAssigned): Added
        overloaded versions of these methods which take an additional
        `string field_name' argument to check struct member.s
        (VariableInfo): Implement the IVariable interface.
        (VariableInfo.StructInfo): New public property.  Returns the
        MyStructInfo instance of the variable if it's a struct or null.
        (Block.AddThisVariable): New public method.  This is called from
        Constructor.Emit() for non-static `struct' constructor which do
        not have any initializer.  It creates a special variable for the
        "this" instance variable which will be checked by the flow
        analysis code to ensure that all of the struct's fields are
        initialized before control returns from the constructor.
        (UsageVector): Added support for struct members.  If a
        variable/parameter is a struct with N members, we reserve a slot
        in the usage vector for each member.  A struct is considered fully
        initialized if either the struct itself (slot 0) or all its
        members are initialized.

2002-08-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * driver.cs (Driver.MainDriver): Only report an error CS5001
        if there were no compilation errors.

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.EmitContext): Use the DeclSpace's
        `UnsafeContext' property to determine whether the parent is in
        unsafe context rather than checking the parent's ModFlags:
        classes nested in an unsafe class are unsafe as well.

2002-08-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * statement.cs (UsageVector.MergeChildren): Distinguish between
        `Breaks' and `Returns' everywhere, don't set `Breaks' anymore if
        we return.  Added test17() and test18() to test-154.cs.

2002-08-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.FilterWithClosure): If we have
        Family access, make sure the invoking type isn't a subclass of the
        queried type (that'd be a CS1540).

        * ecore.cs (Expression.MemberLookup): Added overloaded version of
        this method which takes an additional `Type invocation_type'.

        * expression.cs (BaseAccess.DoResolve): Use the base type as
        invocation and query type.
        (MemberAccess.DoResolve): If the lookup failed and we're about to
        report a CS0122, try a lookup with the ec.ContainerType - if this
        succeeds, we must report a CS1540.

2002-08-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * ecore.cs (IMemberExpr): Added `bool IsInstance' property.
        (MethodGroupExpr): Implement the IMemberExpr interface.

        * expression (MemberAccess.ResolveMemberAccess): No need to have
        any special code for MethodGroupExprs anymore, they're now
        IMemberExprs.   

2002-08-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.FilterWithClosure): Check Assembly,
        Family, FamANDAssem and FamORAssem permissions.
        (TypeManager.IsSubclassOrNestedChildOf): New public method.

2002-08-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * statement.cs (FlowBranchingType): Added LOOP_BLOCK.
        (UsageVector.MergeChildren): `break' breaks unless we're in a switch
        or loop block.

Thu Aug 8 10:28:07 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: implemented /resource option to embed managed resources.

2002-08-07  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * class.cs (FieldBase.Initializer): Renamed to `init' and made private.
        (FieldBase.HasFieldInitializer): New public property.
        (FieldBase.GetInitializerExpression): New public method.  Resolves and
        returns the field initializer and makes sure it is only resolved once.
        (TypeContainer.EmitFieldInitializers): Call
        FieldBase.GetInitializerExpression to get the initializer, this ensures
        that it isn't resolved multiple times.

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext): Added `bool IsFieldInitialier'.  This tells
        the resolving process (SimpleName/MemberLookup) that we're currently
        emitting a field initializer (which must not access any instance members,
        this is an error CS0236).

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName.Error_ObjectRefRequired): Added EmitContext
        argument, if the `IsFieldInitializer' flag is set, we must report and
        error CS0236 and not an error CS0120.   

2002-08-07  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * ecore.cs (IMemberExpr): New public interface.
        (FieldExpr, PropertyExpr, EventExpr): Implement IMemberExpr.
        (SimpleName.SimpleNameResolve): Call MemberAccess.ResolveMemberAccess
        if the expression is an IMemberExpr.

        * expression.cs (MemberAccess.ResolveMemberAccess): Allow `left'
        to be null, implicitly default to `this' if we're non-static in
        this case.  Simplified the code a lot by using the new IMemberExpr
        interface.  Also fixed bug #28176 here.

2002-08-06  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * cs-parser.jay (SimpleLookup): Removed.  We need to create
        ParameterReferences during semantic analysis so that we can do a
        type-only search when resolving Cast, TypeOf and SizeOf.
        (block): Pass the `current_local_parameters' to the Block's
        constructor.

        * class.cs (ConstructorInitializer): Added `Parameters parameters'
        argument to the constructor.
        (ConstructorInitializer.Resolve): Create a temporary implicit
        block with the parameters.

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName.SimpleNameResolve): Resolve parameter
        references here if we aren't doing a type-only search.

        * statement.cs (Block): Added constructor which takes a
        `Parameters parameters' argument.
        (Block.Parameters): New public property.

        * support.cs (InternalParameters.Parameters): Renamed `parameters'
        to `Parameters' and made it public readonly.

2002-08-06  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * ecore.cs (Expression.Warning): Made this public as well.

        * report.cs (Report.Debug): Print the contents of collections.

2002-08-06  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * ecore.cs (Expression.ResolveFlags): New [Flags] enum.  This is
        used to tell Resolve() which kinds of expressions it may return.
        (Expression.Resolve): Added overloaded version of this method which
        takes a `ResolveFlags flags' argument.  This can be used to tell
        Resolve() which kinds of expressions it may return.  Reports a
        CS0118 on error.
        (Expression.ResolveWithSimpleName): Removed, use Resolve() with
        ResolveFlags.SimpleName.
        (Expression.Error118): Added overloaded version of this method which
        takes a `ResolveFlags flags' argument.  It uses the flags to determine
        which kinds of expressions are allowed.

        * expression.cs (Argument.ResolveMethodGroup): New public method.
        Resolves an argument, but allows a MethodGroup to be returned.
        This is used when invoking a delegate.

        * TODO: Updated a bit.

2002-08-06  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        Fixed compilation with csc.

        * ecore.cs: Expression.Error made public. Is this correct? Should
        Warning be made public too?

        * expression.cs: use ea.Location instead of ea.loc.
        [FIXME:  Filed as bug #28607: MCS must report these errors.]

2002-08-06  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * ecore.cs (Expression.loc): Moved the location here instead of
        duplicating it in all derived classes.
        (Expression.Location): New public property.
        (Expression.Error, Expression.Warning): Made them non-static and
        removed the location argument.
        (Expression.Warning): Added overloaded version which takes an
        `int level' argument.
        (Expression.Error118): Make this non-static and removed the
        expression and location arguments.
        (TypeExpr): Added location argument to the constructor.

2002-08-05  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * expression.cs (BaseAccess.DoResolve): Actually report errors.

        * assign.cs (Assign.DoResolve): Check whether the source
        expression is a value or variable.

        * statement.cs (Try.Resolve): Set ec.InTry/InCatch/InFinally
        while resolving the corresponding blocks.

        * interface.cs (Interface.GetInterfaceTypeByName): Actually report
        an error, don't silently return null.

        * statement.cs (Block.AddVariable): Do the error reporting here
        and distinguish between CS0128 and CS0136.
        (Block.DoResolve): Report all unused labels (warning CS0164).
        (LabeledStatement): Pass the location to the constructor.
        (LabeledStatement.HasBeenReferenced): New property.
        (LabeledStatement.Resolve): Set it to true here.

        * statement.cs (Return.Emit): Return success even after reporting
        a type mismatch error (CS0126 or CS0127), this is what csc does and
        it avoids confusing the users with any consecutive errors.

2002-08-05  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * enum.cs (Enum.LookupEnumValue): Catch circular definitions.

        * const.cs (Const.LookupConstantValue): Catch circular definitions.

        they must have the same type.

2002-08-05  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.GetArgumentTypes): Don't call
        PropertyInfo.GetIndexParameters() on dynamic types, this doesn't
        work with the ms runtime and we also don't need it: if we're a
        PropertyBuilder and not in the `indexer_arguments' hash, then we
        are a property and not an indexer.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.AsAccessible): Use Type.IsArray,
        Type.IsPointer and Type.IsByRef instead of Type.HasElementType
        since the latter one doesn't work with the ms runtime.

        (PropertyBase.CheckBase): Moved here from Property and made it work
        for indexers.
        (PropertyBase.Emit): Moved here from Property.Emit, Indexer.Emit is
        the same so we can reuse it there.
        (Property, Indexer): Derive from PropertyBase.
        (MethodSignature.inheritable_property_signature_filter): New delegate
        to find properties and indexers.

        (TypeManager.RegisterIndexer): New method.

        * class.cs: Added myself as author of this file :-)

        checks fail.

        * delegate.cs (Delegate.Delegate): The default visibility is
        internal for top-level types and private for nested types.
        (Delegate.Define): Report errors if the accessibility checks fail.

        * enum.cs (Enum.Enum): The default visibility is internal for
        top-level types and private for nested types.
        (Enum.DefineType): Compute the correct visibility.

        * modifiers.cs (Modifiers.TypeAttr): Added a version of this
        function which takes a `bool is_toplevel' instead of a TypeContainer.

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.IsBuiltinType): `void' is also a
        builtin type.

2002-08-02  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        takes additional `VariableInfo vi' and `bool is_readonly' arguments.
        (LocalVariableReference.IsReadOnly): New property.
        (LocalVariableReference.DoResolveLValue): Report a CS1604 if the
        variable is readonly, use our own readonly flag to do this; you can
        use the new constructor to get a writable reference to a read-only
        variable.

        * cs-parser.jay (foreach_statement, using_statement): Get a writable
        reference to the local variable.

2002-08-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * rootcontext.cs (ResolveCore): Also include System.Exception

        * statement.cs (Block.Emit): Do not emit the dead-code warnings if
        we reach an EmptyStatement.

        (Catch.DoResolve, Throw.DoResolve): Throwing the System.Exception
        is also fine.

        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): Check error result in
        two places.

        use brtrue/brfalse directly and avoid compares to null.

2002-08-02  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        (Foreach.EmitCollectionForeach): Use the correct type for the
        enumerator's local variable, only emit the try/finally block if
        necessary (fixes #27713).

2002-08-01  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        the correct type (CS0118) and whether the type derives from
        System.Exception (CS0155).
        (Catch.Resolve): New method.  Do the type lookup here and check
        whether it derives from System.Exception (CS0155).
        (Catch.CatchType, Catch.IsGeneral): New public properties.

        is a flag which specifies that it's either ref or out.
        (Parameter.GetParameterInfo (DeclSpace, int, out bool)): Changed
        the out parameter to `out Parameter.Modifier mod', also set the
        Parameter.Modifier.ISBYREF flag on it if it's either ref or out.

        (MethodData.ApplyDllImportAttribute): Likewise.
        (MethodData.CheckAbstractAndExternal): Likewise.
        (MethodData.Define): Formerly knows as MemberBase.DefineMethod().
        (MethodData.Emit): Formerly known as Method.Emit().
        (MemberBase): Moved everything which was specific to a single
        accessor/method to MethodData.
        (Method): Create a new MethodData and call Define() and Emit() on it.
        (Property, Indexer, Event): Create a new MethodData objects for each
        accessor and call Define() and Emit() on them.

2002-07-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        Made MethodCore derive from MemberBase to reuse the code from there.
        MemberBase now also checks for attributes.

        * class.cs (MethodCore): Derive from MemberBase, not MemberCore.
        (MemberBase.GetMethodFlags): Moved here from class Method and marked

        here to avoid some larger code duplication.
        (Property.Emit, Indexer.Emit): Call CheckAbstractAndExternal() to
        ensure that abstract and external accessors don't declare a body.

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.GetValidPieces): Make this actually work:
        `System.Attribute.GetCustomAttributes (attr.Type)' does a recursive
        lookup in the attribute's parent classes, so we need to abort as soon
        as we found the first match.
        (Attribute.Obsolete_GetObsoleteMessage): Return the empty string if
        the attribute has no arguments.

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.AddMethod): Now takes a MemberBase instead

        be assigned to before control leaves the current method."
        [FIXME:  Filed as bug #28186: MCS must report this error.]

2002-07-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.Conditional_GetConditionName): New static
        method to pull the condition name ouf of a Conditional attribute.

        TypeManager.MethodFlags for this method.
        (Method.ApplyConditionalAttribute, Method.ApplyObsoleteAttribute): New
        private methods.
        (Method.Define): Get and apply the Obsolete and Conditional attributes;
        if we're overriding a virtual function, set the new private variable
        `parent_method'; call the new TypeManager.AddMethod().

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.AddMethod): New static method.  Stores
        the MethodBuilder and the Method in a PtrHashtable.
        (TypeManager.builder_to_method): Added for this purpose.
        (TypeManager.MethodFlags): Added IsObsoleteError.
        (TypeManager.GetMethodFlags): Added `Location loc' argument.  Lookup
        Obsolete and Conditional arguments in MethodBuilders.  If we discover
        an Obsolete attribute, emit an appropriate warning 618 / error 619 with
        the message from the attribute.

2002-07-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Eat up trailing whitespaces and one-line comments in
        preprocessor directives, ensure that the argument to #define/#undef is
        exactly one identifier and that it's actually an identifier.

        Some weeks ago I did a `#define DEBUG 1' myself and wondered why this
        did not work ....

2002-07-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * statement.cs (Foreach.ForeachHelperMethods): Added `Type element_type',
        initialize it to TypeManager.object_type in the constructor.
        (Foreach.GetEnumeratorFilter): Set `hm.element_type' to the return type
        of the `hm.get_current' method if we're using the collection pattern.
        (Foreach.EmitCollectionForeach): Use `hm.element_type' as the source type
        for the explicit conversion to make it work when we're using the collection
        pattern and the `Current' property has a different return type than `object'.
        Fixes #27713.

2002-07-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * delegate.cs (Delegate.VerifyMethod): Simply return null if the method
        does not match, but don't report any errors.  This method is called in
        order for all methods in a MethodGroupExpr until a matching method is
        found, so we don't want to bail out if the first method doesn't match.
        (NewDelegate.DoResolve): If none of the methods in the MethodGroupExpr
        matches, report the 123.  Fixes #28070.

2002-07-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * expression.cs (ArrayAccess.EmitStoreOpcode): Moved the
        TypeManager.TypeToCoreType() to the top of the method so the
        following equality checks will work.  Fixes #28107.

2002-07-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * cfold.cs (ConstantFold.DoConstantNumericPromotions): "If either
        operand is of type uint, and the other operand is of type sbyte,
        short or int, the operands are converted to type long." -
        Actually do what this comment already told us.  Fixes bug #28106,
        added test-150.cs.

2002-07-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * class.cs (MethodBase): New abstract class.  This is now a base
        class for Property, Indexer and Event to avoid some code duplication

        (MethodBase.DoDefine, MethodBase.DefineAccessor): Provide virtual
        generic methods for Define() and DefineMethods().

        (Property): Derive from MemberBase, not MemberCore.
        (Property.DefineMethod): Moved all the code from this method to the
        new MethodBase.DefineAccessor(), just call it with appropriate
        argumetnts.
        (Property.Define): Call the new Property.DoDefine(), this does some
        sanity checks and we don't need to duplicate the code everywhere.
        (Event): Derive from MemberBase, not MemberCore.
        (Event.Define): Use the new MethodBase.DefineAccessor() to define the
        accessors, this will also make them work with interface events.
        (Indexer): Derive from MemberBase, not MemberCore.
        (Indexer.DefineMethod): Removed, call MethodBase.DefineAccessor() insstead.
        (Indexer.Define): Use the new MethodBase functions.

        * interface.cs (InterfaceEvent.InterfaceEvent): Added `Location loc'
        argument to the constructor.
        (Interface.FindMembers): Added support for interface events.
        (Interface.PopluateEvent): Implemented.

        Added test-149.cs for this.  This also fixes bugs #26067 and #24256.

2002-07-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.AddMethod): Adding methods do not use IsValid,
        but this is required to check for a method name being the same as
        the containing class.  

        Handle this now.

2002-07-22  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * interface.cs: initialize variable.

2002-07-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        Implemented the IndexerName attribute in interfaces.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.DefineIndexers): Don't set the indexer
        name if this is an explicit interface implementation.
        (Indexer.InterfaceIndexerName): New public variable.  If we're
        implementing an interface indexer, this is the IndexerName in that
        interface.  Otherwise, it's the IndexerName.
        (Indexer.DefineMethod): If we're implementing interface indexer,
        set InterfaceIndexerName.  Use the new Pending.IsInterfaceIndexer
        and Pending.ImplementIndexer methods.
        (Indexer.Define): Also define the PropertyBuilder if we're
        implementing an interface indexer and this is neither an explicit
        interface implementation nor do the IndexerName match the one in
        the interface.

        * pending.cs (TypeAndMethods): Added `MethodInfo [] need_proxy'.
        If a method is defined here, then we always need to create a proxy
        for it.  This is used when implementing interface indexers.
        (Pending.IsInterfaceIndexer): New public method.
        (Pending.ImplementIndexer): New public method.
        (Pending.InterfaceMethod): Added `MethodInfo need_proxy' argument.
        This is used when implementing interface indexers to define a proxy
        if necessary.
        (Pending.VerifyPendingMethods): Look in the `need_proxy' array and
        define a proxy if necessary.

        * interface.cs (Interface.IndexerName): New public variable.
        (Interface.PopulateIndexer): Set the IndexerName.
        (Interface.DefineIndexers): New private method.  Populate all the
        indexers and make sure their IndexerNames match.

        * typemanager.cs (IndexerPropertyName): Added support for interface
        indexers.

2002-07-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.HasReturnLabel): New public variable.
        (EmitContext.EmitTopBlock): Always mark the ReturnLabel and emit a
        ret if HasReturnLabel.
        (EmitContext.TryCatchLevel, LoopBeginTryCatchLevel): New public
        variables.

        * statement.cs (Do.Emit, While.Emit, For.Emit, Foreach.Emit): Save
        and set the ec.LoopBeginTryCatchLevel.
        (Try.Emit): Increment the ec.TryCatchLevel while emitting the block.
        (Continue.Emit): If the ec.LoopBeginTryCatchLevel is smaller than
        the current ec.TryCatchLevel, the branch goes out of an exception
        block.  In this case, we need to use Leave and not Br.

2002-07-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * statement.cs (Try.Emit): Emit an explicit ret after the end of the
        block unless the block does not always return or it is contained in
        another try { ... } catch { ... } block.  Fixes bug #26506.
        Added verify-1.cs to the test suite.

2002-07-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * statement.cs (Switch.TableSwitchEmit): If we don't have a default,
        then we do not always return.  Fixes bug #24985.

2002-07-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * expression.cs (Invocation.OverloadedResolve): Do the BetterFunction()
        lookup on a per-class level; ie. walk up the class hierarchy until we
        found at least one applicable method, then choose the best among them.
        Fixes bug #24463 and test-29.cs.

2002-07-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.ArrayContainsMethod): Don't check the
        return types of the methods.  The return type is not part of the
        signature and we must not check it to make the `new' modifier work.
        Fixes bug #27999, also added test-147.cs.
        (TypeManager.TypeToCoreType): Added TypeManager.type_type.

        * expression.cs (Invocation.DoResolve): Call TypeManager.TypeToCoreType()
        on the method's return type.

2002-07-21  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * assign.cs: Make this work if the rightmost source is a constant and
        we need to do an implicit type conversion.  Also adding a few more tests
        to test-38.cs which should have caught this.

        * makefile.gnu: Disable debugging, there's already the mcs-mono2.exe
        target in the makefile for this.  The makefile.gnu is primarily intended
        for end-users who don't want to debug the compiler.

2002-07-21  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * assign.cs: Improved the Assign class so it can now handle embedded
        assignments (X = Y = Z = something).  As a side-effect this'll now also
        consume less local variables.  test-38.cs now passes with MCS, added
        a few new test cases to that test.

2002-07-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * expression.cs (Binary.EmitBranchable): Emit correct unsigned branch
        instructions.  Fixes bug #27977, also added test-146.cs.

2002-07-19  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: fixed getHex ().

2002-07-19  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * expression.cs (Invocation.EmitParams): Use TypeManager.LookupType(),
        not Type.GetType() to lookup the array type.  This is needed when
        we're constructing an array of a user-defined type.
        (ArrayAccess.EmitDynamicInitializers): Only emit the Ldelema for
        single-dimensional arrays, but also for single-dimensial arrays of
        type decimal.

2002-07-19  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * expression.cs (New.DoEmit): Create a new LocalTemporary each time
        this function is called, it's not allowed to share LocalBuilders
        among ILGenerators.

2002-07-19  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * expression.cs (Argument.Resolve): Report an error 118 when trying
        to pass a type as argument.

2002-07-18  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * ecore.cs (Expression.ImplicitNumericConversion): Don't emit a
        Conv_R_Un for the signed `long' type.

2002-07-15  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (MemberAccess.DoResolve): Do not reuse the field
        `expr' for the temporary result, as that will fail if we do
        multiple resolves on the same expression.

2002-07-05  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (SimpleNameResolve): Use ec.DeclSpace instead of
        ec.TypeContainer for looking up aliases. 

        * class.cs (TypeContainer): Remove LookupAlias from here.

        * decl.cs (DeclSpace); Move here.

2002-07-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (FindMembers): Only call filter if the constructor
        bulider is not null.

        Also handle delegates in `NestedTypes' now.  Now we will perform
        type lookups using the standard resolution process.  This also
        fixes a bug.

        * decl.cs (DeclSpace.ResolveType): New type resolution routine.
        This uses Expressions (the limited kind that can be parsed by the
        tree) instead of strings.

        * expression.cs (ComposedCast.ToString): Implement, used to flag
        errors since now we have to render expressions.

        (ArrayCreation): Kill FormElementType.  Use ComposedCasts in
        FormArrayType. 

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName.ToString): ditto.

        * cs-parser.jay: Instead of using strings to assemble types, use
        Expressions to assemble the type (using SimpleName, ComposedCast,
        MemberAccess).  This should fix the type lookups in declarations,
        because we were using a different code path for this.

        * statement.cs (Block.Resolve): Continue processing statements
        even when there is an error.

2002-07-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Event.Define): Also remove the `remove' method from
        the list of pending items.

        * expression.cs (ParameterReference): Use ldarg.N (0..3) to
        generate more compact code. 

2002-07-17  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * const.cs (Const.LookupConstantValue): Add support for constant
        `unchecked' and `checked' expressions.
        Also adding test case test-140.cs for this.

2002-07-17  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * statement.cs (Foreach.GetEnumeratorFilter): When compiling corlib,
        check whether mi.ReturnType implements the IEnumerator interface; the
        `==' and the IsAssignableFrom() will fail in this situation.

2002-07-16  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName.SimpleNameResolve) : Apply Gonzalo's fix 
        here too.

2002-07-16  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs: fixed bug #27811.

2002-07-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (ParameterReference.AddressOf): Patch from Paolo
        Molaro: when we are a ref, the value already contains a pointer
        value, do not take the address of it.

2002-07-14 Rafael Teixeira <rafaelteixeirabr@hotmail.com>
        * removed mb-parser.jay and mb-tokenizer.cs

Sat Jul 13 19:38:03 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs: check against the building corlib void type.

Sat Jul 13 19:35:58 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs: fix for valuetype static readonly fields: when 
        initializing them, we need their address, not the address of a copy.

Sat Jul 13 17:32:53 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs: register also enum_type in corlib.

Sat Jul 13 15:59:47 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.cs: allow calling this (but not base) initializers in structs.

Sat Jul 13 15:12:06 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs: make sure we compare against the building base types
        in GetTypeSize ().

Sat Jul 13 15:10:32 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs: fix TypeToCoreType() to handle void and object
        (corlib gets no more typerefs after this change).

2002-07-12  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (ArrayCreation.EmitArrayArguments): use
        Conv.Ovf.U4 for unsigned and Conv.Ovf.I4 for signed.

        (ArrayAccess.LoadArrayAndArguments): Use Conv_Ovf_I and
        Conv_Ovf_I_Un for the array arguments.  Even if C# allows longs as
        array indexes, the runtime actually forbids them.

        * ecore.cs (ExpressionToArrayArgument): Move the conversion code
        for array arguments here.

        * expression.cs (EmitLoadOpcode): System.Char is a U2, use that
        instead of the default for ValueTypes.

        (New.DoEmit): Use IsValueType instead of
        IsSubclassOf (value_type)
        (New.DoResolve): ditto.
        (Invocation.EmitCall): ditto.

        * assign.cs (Assign): ditto.

        * statement.cs (Unsafe): Ok, so I got the semantics wrong.
        Statements *are* currently doing part of their resolution during
        Emit.  

        Expressions do always resolve during resolve, but statements are
        only required to propagate resolution to their children.

2002-07-11  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs (CSCParseOption): Finish the /r: and /lib: support.

        (LoadAssembly): Do not add the dll if it is already specified

        (MainDriver): Add the System directory to the link path at the end,
        after all the other -L arguments. 

        * expression.cs (ArrayAccess.EmitLoadOpcode): I was using the
        wrong opcode for loading bytes and bools (ldelem.i1 instead of
        ldelem.u1) and using the opposite for sbytes.

        This fixes Digger, and we can finally run it.

        * driver.cs (UnixParseOption): Move the option parsing here.  
        (CSCParseOption): Implement CSC-like parsing of options.

        We now support both modes of operation, the old Unix way, and the
        new CSC-like way.  This should help those who wanted to make cross
        platform makefiles.

        The only thing broken is that /r:, /reference: and /lib: are not
        implemented, because I want to make those have the same semantics
        as the CSC compiler has, and kill once and for all the confussion
        around this.   Will be doing this tomorrow.

        * statement.cs (Unsafe.Resolve): The state is checked during
        resolve, not emit, so we have to set the flags for IsUnsfe here.

2002-07-10  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (MemberAccess.ResolveMemberAccess): Since we can
        not catch the Error_ObjectRefRequired in SimpleName (as it is
        possible to have a class/instance variable name that later gets
        deambiguated), we have to check this here.      

2002-07-10  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.GetFieldFromEvent): Move away from here,
        make static and put into Expression.

        (Event.Define): Register the private field of the event with the 
        TypeManager so that GetFieldFromEvent can get at it.

        (TypeManager.RegisterPrivateFieldOfEvent): Implement to
        keep track of the private field associated with an event which
        has no accessors.

        (TypeManager.GetPrivateFieldOfEvent): Implement to get at the
        private field.

        * ecore.cs (GetFieldFromEvent): RE-write to use the above methods.

2002-07-10  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Binary.EmitBranchable): this routine emits the
        Binary expression in a branchable context.  This basically means:
        we need to branch somewhere, not just get the value on the stack.

        This works together with Statement.EmitBoolExpression.

        * statement.cs (Statement.EmitBoolExpression): Use
        EmitBranchable. 

2002-07-09  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (For): Reduce the number of jumps in loops.

        (For): Implement loop inversion for the For statement.

        (Break): We can be breaking out of a Try/Catch controlled section
        (foreach might have an implicit try/catch clause), so we need to
        use Leave instead of Br.

        * ecore.cs (FieldExpr.AddressOf): Fix for test-139 (augmented
        now).  If the instace expression supports IMemoryLocation, we use
        the AddressOf method from the IMemoryLocation to extract the
        address instead of emitting the instance.

        This showed up with `This', as we were emitting the instance
        always (Emit) instead of the Address of This.  Particularly
        interesting when This is a value type, as we dont want the Emit
        effect (which was to load the object).

2002-07-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs: Pass the entry point to the DefinePInvokeMethod

        * statement.cs (Checked): Set the CheckedState during the resolve
        process too, as the ConvCast operations track the checked state on
        the resolve process, and not emit.

        * cs-parser.jay (namespace_member_declaration): Flag that we have
        found a declaration when we do.  This is used to flag error 1529

        * driver.cs: Report ok when we display the help only.

2002-07-06  Andrew Birkett  <adb@tardis.ed.ac.uk>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (xtoken): Improve handling of string literals.

2002-07-04  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (define): We also have to track locally the
        defines.  AllDefines is just used for the Conditional Attribute,
        but we also need the local defines for the current source code. 

2002-07-03  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (While, For, Do): These loops can exit through a
        Break statement, use this information to tell whether the
        statement is the last piece of code.

        (Break): Flag that we break.

        * codegen.cs (EmitContexts): New `Breaks' state variable.

2002-07-03  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.MethodModifiersValid): Allow override
        modifiers in method declarations in structs.  Otherwise, you won't
        be able to override things like Object.Equals().

2002-07-02  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Method, Property, Indexer): Do not allow the public
        modifier to be used in explicit interface implementations.

        (TypeContainer.MethodModifiersValid): Catch virtual, abstract and
        override modifiers in method declarations in structs

2002-07-02   Andrew Birkett <adb@tardis.ed.ac.uk>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (adjust_int, adjust_real): Do not abort on
        integer or real overflow, report an error

2002-07-02  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.InitCoreTypes): When compiling
        corlib, dynamically call AssemblyBuilder.SetCorlibTypeBuilders()
        to tell the runtime about our newly created System.Object and
        System.ValueType types.

2002-07-02  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (This): Use Stobj/Ldobj when we are a member of a
        struct instead of Ldarg/Starg.

2002-07-02  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * expression.cs (Indirection.Indirection): Call
        TypeManager.TypeToCoreType() on `expr.Type.GetElementType ()'.

2002-07-02  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * expression.cs (ArrayAccess.EmitStoreOpcode): If the type is a
        ValueType, call TypeManager.TypeToCoreType() on it.
        (Invocations.EmitParams): Call TypeManager.TypeToCoreType() on
        the OpCodes.Newarr argument.

2002-07-02  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * expression.cs (Invocation.EmitCall): When compiling corlib,
        replace all calls to the system's System.Array type to calls to
        the newly created one.

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.InitCodeHelpers): Added a few more
        System.Array methods.
        (TypeManager.InitCoreTypes): When compiling corlib, get the methods
        from the system's System.Array type which must be replaced.

Tue Jul 2 19:05:05 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs: load unverifiable_code_ctor so we can build
        corlib using the correct type. Avoid using GetTypeCode() with
        TypeBuilders.
        * rootcontext.cs: uses TypeManager.unverifiable_code_ctor and
        TypeManager.object_type to allow building corlib.

Tue Jul 2 19:03:19 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs: handle System.Enum separately in LoadFromPtr().

2002-07-01  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * class.cs: Make the last change actually work, we need to check
        whether `ifaces != null' to avoid a crash.

Mon Jul 1 16:15:03 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.cs: when we build structs without fields that implement
        interfaces, we need to add the interfaces separately, since there is
        no API to both set the size and add the interfaces at type creation
        time.

Mon Jul 1 14:50:47 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs: the dimension arguments to the array constructors
        need to be converted if they are a long.

Mon Jul 1 12:26:12 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.cs: don't emit ldarg.0 if there is no parent constructor
        (fixes showstopper for corlib).

2002-06-29  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        MCS now compiles corlib on GNU/Linux :-)

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.ApplyAttributes): Treat Accessors like Method,
        ie. check for MethodImplOptions.InternalCall.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.DefineType): When compiling corlib, both parent
        and TypeManager.attribute_type are null, so we must explicitly check
        whether parent is not null to find out whether it's an attribute type.
        (Property.Emit): Always call Attribute.ApplyAttributes() on the GetBuilder
        and SetBuilder, not only if the property is neither abstract nor external.
        This is necessary to set the MethodImplOptions on the accessor methods.
        (Indexer.Emit): Call Attribute.ApplyAttributes() on the GetBuilder and
        SetBuilder, see Property.Emit().

        * rootcontext.cs (RootContext.PopulateTypes): When compiling corlib, don't
        populate "System.Object", "System.ValueType" and "System.Attribute" since
        they've already been populated from BootCorlib_PopulateCoreTypes().

2002-06-29  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * ecore.cs (Expression.ImplicitReferenceConversionExists): If expr
        is the NullLiteral, we also need to make sure that target_type is not
        an enum type.   

2002-06-29  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * rootcontext.cs (RootContext.ResolveCore): We must initialize
        `TypeManager.multicast_delegate_type' and `TypeManager.delegate_type'
        before calling BootstrapCorlib_ResolveDelegate ().

2002-06-27  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs: fixed build-breaker. All tests passed ok.

2002-06-27  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.VerifyUnManaged): Added explicit check
        for System.Decimal when compiling corlib.

2002-06-27  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * statement.cs (Switch.TableSwitchEmit): Make this work with empty
        switch blocks which contain nothing but a default clause.

2002-06-26  Andrew  <adb@tardis.ed.ac.uk>

       * ../errors/cs1501-3.cs: Added new test for struct ctr typechecks.

2002-06-27  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * ecore.cs (PropertyExpr.PropertyExpr): Call
        TypeManager.TypeToCoreType() on the `pi.PropertyType'.

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.TypeToCoreType): Return if the type
        is already a TypeBuilder.

2002-06-27  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * ecore.cs (Expression.ImplicitReferenceConversionExists): Use
        `target_type == TypeManager.array_type', not IsAssignableFrom() in
        the "from an array-type to System.Array" case.  This makes it work
        when compiling corlib.

2002-06-27  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * ecore.cs (Expression.SimpleNameResolve): If the expression is a
        non-static PropertyExpr, set its InstanceExpression.  This makes
        the `ICollection.Count' property work in System/Array.cs.

2002-06-25  Andrew Birkett  <adb@tardis.ed.ac.uk>

        * driver.cs: Made error handling more consistent.  Errors now
        tracked by Report class, so many methods which used to return int
        now return void.  Main() now prints success/failure and 
        errors/warnings message.

        Renamed '--probe' compiler argument to '--expect-error'.  Removed
        the magic number return values (123 and 124).  Now, if the
        expected error occurs, the compiler exits with success (exit value
        0).  If the compilation completes without seeing that particular
        error, the compiler exits with failure (exit value 1).  The
        makefile in mcs/errors has been changed to handle the new behaviour.

        * report.cs: Made 'expected error' number a property and renamed
        it from 'Probe' to 'ExpectedError'.

        * genericparser.cs: Removed error handling support, since it is
        now all done by Report class.

        * cs-parser.jay, mb-parser.jay: Errors are tracked by Report
        class, so parse() no longer returns an int.

        * namespace.cs: Use Report.Error instead of GenericParser.error

2002-06-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.AddMethod, TypeContainer.AddIndexer,
        TypeContainer.AddOperator): At the front of the list put the
        explicit implementations, so they get resolved/defined first. 

2002-06-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.VerifyImplements): Verifies that a given
        interface type is implemented by this TypeContainer.  Used during
        explicit interface implementation.

        (Property.Define, Indexer.Define, Method.Define): Validate that
        the given interface in the explicit implementation is one of the
        base classes for the containing type.

        Also if we are explicitly implementing an interface, but there is
        no match in the pending implementation table, report an error.

        (Property.Define): Only define the property if we are
        not explicitly implementing a property from an interface.  Use the
        correct name also for those properties (the same CSC uses,
        although that is really not needed).

        (Property.Emit): Do not emit attributes for explicitly implemented
        properties, as there is no TypeBuilder.

        (Indexer.Emit): ditto.

        Hiding then means that we do not really *implement* a pending
        implementation, which makes code fail.

2002-06-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * ecore.cs (Expression.Constantify): Call TypeManager.TypeToCoreType() on
        the return value of Object.GetType().  [FIXME: we need to do this whenever
        we get a type back from the reflection library].

Fri Jun 21 13:37:57 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs: make ExpandInterfaces() slip duplicated interfaces.

2002-06-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs: Return null if we can not look up the type.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.GetClassBases): Use ExpandInterfaces on
        the interface types found.

        * interface.cs (Interface.GetInterfaceBases): Use ExpandInterfaces on the
        interface types found.

        * typemanager.cs (GetInterfaces): Make this routine returns alll
        the interfaces and work around the lame differences between
        System.Type and System.Reflection.Emit.TypeBuilder in the results
        result for GetInterfaces.

        (ExpandInterfaces): Given an array of interface types, expand and
        eliminate repeated ocurrences of an interface.  This expands in
        context like: IA; IB : IA; IC : IA, IB; the interface "IC" to
        be IA, IB, IC.

2002-06-21  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.EnumToUnderlying): It's now safe to call this function
        on System.Enum.

2002-06-21  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.TypeToCoreType): New function.  When compiling corlib
        and called with one of the core types, return the corresponding typebuilder for
        that type.

        * expression.cs (ArrayAccess.DoResolve): Call TypeManager.TypeToCoreType() on the
        element type.

2002-06-21  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * ecore.cs (Expression.ExplicitReferenceConversionExists): Use
        `target_type.IsArray' instead of `target_type.IsSubclassOf (TypeManager.array_type)'.
        (Expression.ConvertReferenceExplicit): Likewise.

        * expression.cs (ElementAccess.DoResolve): Likewise.
        (ElementAccess.DoResolveLValue): Likewise.

2002-06-10  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * interface.cs (Interface.PopulateIndexer): When creating the setter, we need to
        add the "value" parameter to the parameter list.

        * statement.cs (Fixed.Emit): Pass the return value of the child block's Emit()
        to our caller.

2002-06-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (ArrayCreation.ExpressionToArrayArgument): Convert
        the argument to an int, uint, long or ulong, per the spec.  Also
        catch negative constants in array creation.

Thu Jun 20 17:56:48 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.cs: do not allow the same interface to appear twice in
        the definition list.

Wed Jun 19 22:33:37 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs: don't use ldlen with System.Array.

Wed Jun 19 20:57:40 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs: stobj requires a type argument. Handle indirect stores on enums.

Wed Jun 19 20:17:59 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * modifiers.cs: produce correct field attributes for protected
        internal. Easy fix so miguel can work on ther harder stuff:-)

2002-06-18  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * pending.cs: New file.  Move the code from class.cs here.
        Support clearning the pending flag for all methods (when not doing
        explicit interface implementation).

Tue Jun 18 10:36:22 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * rootcontext.cs: added a couple more types needed to bootstrap.

2002-06-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (GetConstructor): Use DeclaredOnly to look the
        constructor in the type, instead of any constructor in the type
        hierarchy.  Thanks to Paolo for finding this bug (it showed up as
        a bug in the Mono runtime when applying the params attribute). 

2002-06-16  Rafael Teixeira  <rafaelteixeirabr@hotmail.com>
        * changed namespace.cs to use "GenericParser.error(...)" instead of "CSharpParser.error(...)"

2002-06-14  Rachel Hestilow  <hestilow@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Unary.ResolveOperator): Use TypeManager
        to resolve the type.

2002-06-13  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay (enum_member_declaration): Pass in the attributes
        attached.

        * enum.cs (AddEnumMember): Add support to store the attributes associated 
        with each member too.

        * attribute.cs (CheckAttribute, ApplyAttributes): Update to handle
        field builders too - this takes care of the enum member case.

2002-06-10  Rachel Hestilow  <hestilow@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.VerifyUnManaged): Allow
        address-of operator on both value types and pointers.

2002-06-10  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * interface.cs (Interface.PopulateIndexer): Add the indexer's
        PropertyBuilder to the `property_builders' list.

        * expression.cs (Indexers.GetIndexersForTypeOrInterface): New private method.
        (Indexers.GetIndexersForType): Call GetIndexersForTypeOrInterface() on the
        `lookup_type' and all its interfaces.  Unfortunately, Type.FindMembers() won't
        find any indexers which are inherited from an interface.

2002-06-09  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * const.cs (Const.LookupConstantValue): Convert `Expr' to a literal of
        the same type as the constant if necessary.  There's also a test-130.cs
        for this.

        * enum.cs (Enum.ChangeEnumType): Moved to typemanager.cs and made public.

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.ChangeType): Previously known as
        Enum.ChangeEnumType().

2002-06-09  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * expression.cs (Cast.TryReduce): Added support for consts.

2002-06-08  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Accessor): Hold attributes information so we can pass
        it along.

        * cs-parser.jay (get_accessor_declaration, set_accessor_declaration):
        Modify to pass in attributes attached to the methods.

        (add_accessor_declaration, remove_accessor_declaration): Ditto.

        * attribute.cs (ApplyAttributes, CheckAttribute): Update accordingly
        to handle the Accessor kind :-)

        * class.cs (Property.Emit, Event.Emit): Apply attributes to the accessors

2002-06-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * expression.cs (Unary.TryReduceNegative): Added support for
        ULongConstants.

2002-06-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * enum.cs (Enum.LookupEnumValue): Don't report an error if the
        name can't be found in the `defined_names' - the caller will do a
        MemberLookup in this case and thus find methods in System.Enum
        such as Enum.IsDefined().

2002-06-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * enum.cs (Enum.ChangeEnumType): This is a custom version of
        Convert.ChangeType() which works with TypeBuilder created types.
        (Enum.LookupEnumValue, Enum.Define): Use it here.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.RegisterRequiredImplementations): Added
        `TypeBuilder.BaseType != null' check.
        (TypeContainer.FindMembers): Only lookup parent members if we
        actually have a parent.
        (Method.EmitDestructor): Added `ec.ContainerType.BaseType != null' check.
        (ConstructorInitializer.Resolve): Likewise.

        * interface.cs (Interface.FindMembers): Added
        `TypeBuilder.BaseType != null' check.

        * rootcontext.cs (RootContext.ResolveCore): Added
        "System.Runtime.CompilerServices.IndexerNameAttribute" to
        classes_second_stage.

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager.InitCoreTypes): Don't initialize
        debug_type and trace_type when compiling with --nostdlib.       

2002-06-07  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer): Added `have_nonstatic_fields' field.
        (AddField): Set it to true when adding a non-static field.
        (DefineType): Use `have_nonstatic_fields' to find out whether we
        have non-static fields, not `Fields != null'.

2002-06-02  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (SimpleNameResolve): Removed simple bug (we were
        dereferencing a null on the static-field code path)

2002-05-30  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * codegen.cs (InitMonoSymbolWriter): Added `string[] args' argument
        to take command line arguments.  Use reflection to call the new
        custom `Initialize' function on the symbol writer and pass it the
        command line arguments.

        * driver.cs (--debug-args): New command line argument to pass command
        line arguments to the symbol writer.

2002-05-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * assign.cs (DoResolve): Forgot to do the implicit conversion to
        the target type for indexers and properties.  Thanks to Joe for
        catching this.

2002-05-27  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (MethodFlags): returns the method flags
        (Obsolete/ShouldIgnore) that control warning emission and whether
        the invocation should be made, or ignored. 

        * expression.cs (Invocation.Emit): Remove previous hack, we should
        not do this on matching a base type, we should do this based on an attribute

        Only emit calls to System.Diagnostics.Debug and
        System.Diagnostics.Trace if the TRACE and DEBUG defines are passed
        on the command line.

        * rootcontext.cs: Global settings for tracing and debugging.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (define): New utility function to track
        defines.   Set the global settings for TRACE and DEBUG if found.

2002-05-25  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * interface.cs (Populate*): Pass in the TypeContainer as well as
        the DeclSpace as parameters so that we can create EmitContexts and
        then use that to apply attributes etc.

        (PopulateMethod, PopulateEvent, PopulateProperty)
        (PopulateIndexer): Apply attributes everywhere.

        * attribute.cs (CheckAttribute): Include InterfaceMethod, InterfaceEvent
        etc.

        (ApplyAttributes): Update accordingly.

        We now apply interface attributes for all members too.

2002-05-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Indexer.Define); Correctly check if we are explicit
        implementation (instead of checking the Name for a ".", we
        directly look up if the InterfaceType was specified).

        Delay the creation of the PropertyBuilder.

        Only create the PropertyBuilder if we are not an explicit
        interface implementation.   This means that explicit interface
        implementation members do not participate in regular function
        lookups, and hence fixes another major ambiguity problem in
        overload resolution (that was the visible effect).

        (DefineMethod): Return whether we are doing an interface
        implementation. 

        * typemanager.cs: Temporary hack until we get attributes in
        interfaces (Ravi is working on that) and we get IndexerName
        support in interfaces.

        * interface.cs: Register the indexers as properties.

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.Resolve): Catch the error, and emit a
        warning, I have verified that this is a bug in the .NET runtime
        (JavaScript suffers of the same problem).

        * typemanager.cs (MemberLookup): When looking up members for
        interfaces, the parent of an interface is the implicit
        System.Object (so we succeed in searches of Object methods in an
        interface method invocation.  Example:  IEnumerable x;  x.ToString
        ()) 

2002-05-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Event): Events should also register if they do
        implement the methods that an interface requires.

        * typemanager.cs (MemberLookup); use the new GetInterfaces
        method. 

        (GetInterfaces): The code used to lookup interfaces for a type is
        used in more than one place, factor it here. 

        * driver.cs: Track the errors at the bottom of the file, we kept
        on going.

        * delegate.cs (NewDelegate.Emit): We have to emit a null as the
        instance if the method we are calling is static!

2002-05-24  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs (ApplyAttributes): Make this function filter out
        the IndexerName attribute (as that attribute in reality is never
        applied) and return the string constant for the IndexerName
        attribute. 

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.Emit): Validate that all the indexers
        have the same IndexerName attribute, and if so, set the
        DefaultName attribute on the class. 

        * typemanager.cs: The return value might contain other stuff (not
        only methods).  For instance, consider a method with an "Item"
        property and an Item method.

        * class.cs: If there is a problem with the parameter types,
        return. 

2002-05-24  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (ImplicitConversionExists): Wrapper function which also
        looks at user defined conversion after making a call to 
        StandardConversionExists - we need this for overload resolution.

        * expression.cs : Update accordingly the various method calls.

        This fixes 2 bugs filed against implicit user defined conversions 

2002-05-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs: Track the result of the assignment.

2002-05-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (MemberAccess): Improved error reporting for
        inaccessible members.

2002-05-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * makefile (mcs-mono2.exe): New target.  This is mcs compiled with
        itself with debugging support.

2002-05-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * typemanager.cs ("System.Runtime.InteropServices.StructLayoutAttribute"):
        Removed, this isn't needed anymore.

2002-05-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * typemanager.cs (InitEnumUnderlyingTypes): "System.Char" can't
        be underlying type for an enum.

2002-05-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (InitEnumUnderlyingTypes): New helper function
        that splits out the loading of just the core types.

        * rootcontext.cs (ResolveCore): Split the struct resolution in
        two, so we can load the enumeration underlying types before any
        enums are used.

        * expression.cs (Is): Bandaid until we fix properly Switch (see
        bug #24985 for details).

        * typemanager.cs (ImplementsInterface): The hashtable will contain
        a null if there are no interfaces implemented.

2002-05-18  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay (indexer_declarator): It is fine to have array
        parameters

2002-05-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs: (RegisterBuilder): New function used to register
        TypeBuilders that implement interfaces.  Since
        TypeBuilder.GetInterfaces (as usual) does not work with lame
        Reflection.Emit. 
        (AddUserType): register interfaces.

        (ImplementsInterface): Use the builder_to_ifaces hash if we are
        dealing with TypeBuilder.  Also, arrays are showing up as
        SymbolTypes, which are not TypeBuilders, but whose GetInterfaces
        methods can not be invoked on them!

        * ecore.cs (ExplicitReferenceConversionExists): Made public.
        (ImplicitReferenceConversionExists): Split out from
        StandardConversionExists. 

        * expression.cs (As): We were only implementing one of the three
        cases for the as operator.  We now implement them all.
        (Is): Implement the various other cases for Is as well.

        * typemanager.cs (CACHE): New define used to control if we want or
        not the FindMembers cache.  Seems to have a negative impact on
        performance currently

        (MemberLookup): Nested types have full acess to
        enclosing type members

        Remove code that coped with instance/static returns for events, we
        now catch this in RealFindMembers.

        (RealFindMembers): only perform static lookup if the instance
        lookup did not return a type or an event.  

2002-05-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * assign.cs (CompoundAssign): We pass more semantic information
        now to Compound Assignments than we did before: now we have all
        the information at hand, and now we resolve the target *before* we
        do the expression expansion, which allows the "CacheValue" method
        to have the effect we intended (before, a [x] += 1 would generate
        two differen ArrayAccess expressions from the ElementAccess,
        during the resolution process).

        (CompoundAssign.DoResolve): Resolve target and original_source here.

2002-05-16  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (ArrayAccess): dropped debugging information. 

        * typemanager.cs: Small bug fix: I was always returning i_members,
        instead of one of i_members or s_members (depending on which had
        the content).

        * assign.cs (IAssignMethod.CacheTemporaries): New method.  This
        method is invoked before any code generation takes place, and it
        is a mechanism to inform that the expression will be invoked more
        than once, and that the method should use temporary values to
        avoid having side effects

        (Assign.Emit): Call CacheTemporaries in the IAssignMethod.

        * ecore.cs (Expression.CacheTemporaries): Provide empty default
        implementation.

        * expression.cs (Indirection, ArrayAccess): Add support for
        CacheTemporaries in these two bad boys. 

        * ecore.cs (LoadFromPtr): figure out on our own if we need to use
        ldobj or ldind_ref.  
        (StoreFromPtr): Handle stobj as well.

        * expression.cs (UnaryMutator): Share more code.

        * typemanager.cs (FindMembers): Thanks to Paolo for tracking this
        down: I was not tracking the Filter function as well, which
        was affecting the results of the cache.

2002-05-15  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs: Remove the hack to handle the CharSet property on
        StructLayouts. 

2002-05-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs (DoResolve): More uglyness, we now only try to
        resolve the attribute partially, to extract the CharSet
        information (only if we are a StructLayout attribute).  Otherwise 

        (GetExtraTypeInfo): Add some code to conditionally kill in the
        future this.   I am more and more convinced that the .NET
        framework has special code to handle the attribute setting on
        certain elements.

        * expression.cs (IsParamsMethodApplicable): Revert my previous
        foreach change here, it was wrong.

2002-05-13  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: (pp_primary): Eat the ')' at the end.
        (pp_expr): do not abort on unknown input, just return.
        (eval): abort if there are pending chars.

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.Resolve): Positional parameters are
        optional.  Deal with that case.

        * class.cs (DefineType): Call Attribute.GetExtraTypeInfo to fetch
        the Ansi/Unicode/Auto information for the type.

        (TypeContainer.DefineType): instantiate the EmitContext here, as
        we will be using it during the type definition (to resolve
        attributes) and during the emit phase.

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.GetExtraTypeInfo): This routine is used
        to pull type information out of the attributes

        (Attribute.Resolve): track the constructor builder, and allow for
        multiple invocations (structs and classes will use this).

        * ecore.cs (MemberLookupFinal): new version with all the
        parameters customizable.

        * expression.cs (New.DoResolve): Use MemberLookupFinal to locate
        constructors.  Return if the result value is null (as the error
        would have been flagged already by MemberLookupFinal)

        Do not allow instances of abstract classes or interfaces to be
        created.

        * class.cs: (MethodSignature.InheritableMemberSignatureCompare):
        We have to compare the assembly property here when dealing with
        FamANDAssem and Assembly access modifiers, because we might be
        creating an assembly from *modules* (that means that we are not
        getting TypeBuilders for types defined in other modules that are
        part of this assembly).

        (Method.Emit): If the method is marked abstract and has a body,
        emit an error. 

        (TypeContainer.DefineMembers): If both the defined member and the
        parent name match are methods, then do not emit any warnings: let
        the Method.Define routine take care of flagging warnings.  But if
        there is a mismatch (method overrides something else, or method is
        overriwritten by something, then emit warning).

        (MethodSignature.MemberSignatureCompare): If the sig.ret_type is
        set to null, this means `do not check for the return type on the
        signature'. 

        (Method.Define): set the return type for the method signature to
        null, so that we get methods with the same name and parameters and
        different return types.  This is used to flag warning 114 (you are
        hiding a method, and you probably want to use the new/override
        keywords instead).

        * typemanager.cs (MemberLookup): Implemented proper access
        control, closing a long standing set of bug reports.  The problem
        was that the Framework only has two bits: Public and NonPublic,
        and NonPublic includes private and protected methods, but we need
        to enforce the FamANDAssem, FamOrAssem and Family. 

2002-05-11  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (GotoCase): Return true: Ammounts to giving up
        knowledge on whether we return or not, and letting the other case
        be responsible for it.

2002-05-10  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: Do not load directories for each file processed, only
        do it if there is a pattern.

        * ecore.cs: Report readonly assigns here as well, as we might have
        been resolved only by MemberAccess.

        (SimpleName.SimpleNameResolve): Also be useful for LValue
        resolution.   We need this to propagate assign to local readonly variables

        * typemanager.cs: Use a ptrhashtable for the criteria, because we
        do not want to reuse potential criteria memory.

        * class.cs (MyEventBuilder): Set reflected_type;

        * ecore.cs (Constantify): Added support for constifying bools.

        (RootContext.LookupType): Added a cache for values looked up in
        the declaration space.

        * typemanager.cs (FindMembers): Now is a front-end to
        RealFindMembers, and provides a two-level hashtable-based cache to
        the request.  

        15% performance improvement: from 22.5 to 19.2 seconds.

        * expression.cs (IsParamsMethodApplicable): use foreach.
        (Invocation.DoResolve): ditto.
        (New.DoResolve): ditto.
        (ArrayCreation.DoResolve): ditto.

        * ecore.cs (FindMostEncompassingType): use foreach.

        * delegate.cs (NewDelegate.DoResolve): Use foreach

        * ecore.cs (Expression.FindMostSpecificSource): Use foreach.
        (RemoveMethods): use foreach.

        * expression.cs (Invocation.MakeUnionSet): Optimization: Use two
        nested foreach statements instead of for, and also break out of
        the inner loop once a match is found.

        (Invocation.OverloadResolve): Use foreach, simplify the code. 

2002-05-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cfold.cs (BinaryFold): During an enumeration evaluation context,
        we actually unwrap the expression to allow for extra information
        to be extracted. 

        * expression.cs: Use Shr_Un on unsigned operations. 

2002-05-08  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (FindMostEncompass*): Fix trivial bug where the set of 
        applicable operators was not being considered correctly. This closes
        the bug Miguel reported.

Wed May 8 16:40:50 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs: check that the type derives from System.Attribute
        and report the correct error in that case (moved the duplicate code to
        its own method, too).

Wed May 8 11:50:31 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs: lookup attribute type name as the spec says: first the
        bare attribute name and then name + "Attribute" (nant compiles with
        mcs after this fix).

2002-05-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Unary.TryReduceNegative): Ah!  Tricky!  Tricky!
        Because of the way we parse things, we should try to see if a
        UIntConstant can fit in an integer.

2002-05-07  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (GetConversionOperators): Do not pick up op_True operators
        when we are in an explicit context.

        (ConvertReferenceExplicit): When converting from Iface type S to Class
        T make sure the rules are implemented as an OR.

        * parameter.cs (ParameterType): Make it a property for now although the
        purpose really isn't anything immediate.

        * expression.cs (Is*Applicable): Do better checking on the parameter type
        of a ref/out parameter. The ones from the system assemblies are already 
        marked with the correct type so we don't need to do any correction.

        * ecore.cs (StandardConversionExists): Conversion from Interface types to 
        the object type is standard too so include that.

2002-05-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (StandardConversionExists): Augment with missing code:
        deal with IntConstant, LongConstants and Enumerations.

        * assign.cs: Report the error, instead of failing silently

        * rootcontext.cs (AddGlobalAttributes): Track attributes on the
        typecontainer that they are declared, because the
        typecontainer/namespace will have the list of using clauses that
        need to be applied.

        Assembly Attributes were escaping the normal registration
        mechanism. 

        (EmitCode): Apply attributes within an EmitContext that represents
        the container they were declared on.

        * cs-parser.jay: Track bases for structs.  How did I get this wrong?

2002-05-06  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (FindMostEncompassingType, FindMostEncompassedType):
        Revamp completely - make much cleaner as we now operate only
        on a set of Types.

        (FindMostSpecificSource, FindMostSpecificTarget): New methods
        to implement the logic detailed in the spec more correctly.

        (UserDefinedConversion): Update accordingly.

2002-05-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs: Return flow analysis information up.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (adjust_real): Share code between LITERAL_DOUBLE
        and the default.

        (token): Do not consume an extra character before calling
        decimal_digits.

2002-05-06  Piers Haken <piersh@friskit.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: add 'override' attribute to System.Object.Finalize

2002-05-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Constructor.Emit): Set the IsStatic flag in the
        EmitContext during the instance constructor initializer
        resolution, to stop access to instance variables.

        This is mandated by the spec, last paragraph of the `constructor
        initializers' section. 

2002-05-05  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay, class.cs (Accessor): new class used to represent
        an accessor (get or set).  In the past we used `null' to represent
        a missing accessor.  But this is ambiguous because there was no
        way to tell in abstract indexers/properties if one of them was
        specified.

        Now there is a way of addressing that.

        * expression.cs (Indexers.GetIndexersForType): Use TypeManager.MemberLookup
        instead of FindMembers.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.EmitFieldInitializer): Do not typecast
        the result of Assign.Resolve as Assign, but rather as ExpressionStatement.

        * attribute.cs: Treat indexers and properties as the same in terms
        of applying attributes

        * ecore.cs (FindMostEncompassedType): Use statically initialized
        EmptyExpressions()s like we do elsewhere to avoid creating useless
        objects (and we take this out of the tight loop).

        (GetConversionOperators): Move the code to extract the actual
        operators to a separate routine to clean things up.

2002-05-04  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (FieldExpr): Remove un-needed tests for null, since now
        events are always registered FieldBuilders.

        * class.cs (FieldBase): New class shared by Fields 

        * delegate.cs: If we are a toplevel delegate, use our full name.
        If we are a nested delegate, then only use our tail name.

2002-05-02  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (IsApplicable): Ensure that we add the "&" to
        ref/out types before comparing it with the type of the argument.

        (IsParamsMethodApplicable): Ditto.

        (Argument.Type): Use TypeManager.LookupType instead of Type.GetType - 
        silly me ;-)

        * delegate.cs : Handle the case when we have more than one applicable
        method. Flag an error only when we finish checking all.

2002-05-02  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs: Add support for boolean static initializers.

2002-05-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs: Use proper cast for Events, since we use a MyEventBuilder.

        * parameter.cs (ComputeParameterTypes,
        ComputeAndDefineParameterTypes): Better error handling: now we
        clear the `types' cache if we fail during any of the type lookups.
        We also return the status code correctly to our caller

        * delegate.cs: If we fail to define a delegate, abort the extra
        steps. 

        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): for
        operator==(object,object) and operator !=(object, object) we also
        have to verify that there is an implicit conversion from one to
        the other.

        (ArrayAccess.DoResolve): Array Access can operate on
        non-variables. 

2002-04-30  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * assign.cs (CompoundAssign): A new class used as a "flag" that
        the assignment actually is happening as part of a compound
        assignment operator.

        During compound assignment, a few new rules exist to enable things
        like:

        byte b |= 1 + 2

        From the spec:

        x op= y can be evaluated as x = (T) (x op y) (ie, an explicit cast
        to the type of x) if y is implicitly convertible to the type of x,
        and the operator is a builtin operator and the return type of the
        operator is explicitly convertible to the type of x. 

        * rootcontext.cs: Reset warning level to 2.  4 catches various
        "interesting" features in mcs, we must clean this up at some
        point, but currently am trying to kill other bugs ;-)

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName.SimpleNameResolve): Perform member lookups
        in container classes as well.  

        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): Handle string case
        before anything else (as operator overloading does emit an error
        before doing anything else).

        This code could go away when we move to a table driven model, but
        i could not come up with a good plan last night.

2002-04-30  Lawrence Pit <loz@cable.a2000.nl>

        * typemanager.cs (CSharpName): reimplementation using regex.
        * class.cs: added null check for fields in Emit
        * rootcontext.cs: set warninglevel to 4

2002-04-29  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (CSharpName): reimplemented with Lupus
        suggestion.

2002-04-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (If): correclty implement Resolve, because we were
        not catching sem errors in there.  The same process is needed
        everywhere else. 
        (Return, StatementExpression, For, While, Do, Throw, Lock): Implement Resolve


        (Statement.Warning_DeadCodeFound): Factorize code.
        (While): Report dead code here too.

        (Statement): Added Resolve virtual method to allow
        for resolution split from the emit code.

2002-04-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (EmitBoolExpression): No longer try to resolve the
        expression here.    
        (MakeBoolean): New utility function that resolve, implicitly
        converts to boolean and tags the expression. 


        (If, Do): Implement dead code elimination.
        (While): Implement loop inversion

        (Do, While, For, If): Resolve the expression prior to calling our
        code generation.

2002-04-22  Lawrence Pit <loz@cable.a2000.nl>

        * class.cs:
          - added method Report28 (warning: program has more than one entry point)
          - added method IsEntryPoint, implements paragraph 10.1 of the spec
          - modified method Method.Define, the part at the end of the method

        * rootcontext.cs: added static public Location EntryPointLocation;
          
        * ../errors/cs0028.cs : Add test case for the above warning.              

        * typemanager.cs:
          - modified method CSharpName to allow arrays of primitive type to
            be printed nicely (e.g. instead of System.Int32[][] it now prints
            int[][])
          - added method CSharpSignature: returns the signature of a method
            in string format to be used in reporting errors, warnings, etc.

        * support.cs: InternalParameters.ParameterDesc variable tmp initialized
        with String.Empty.

2002-04-26  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * delegate.cs (Define): Fix extremely silly bug where I was
        setting the type of the 'object' parameter of the BeginInvoke
        method to System.IAsyncResult instead of System.Object ;-)

2002-04-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (ConstructorInitializer.Resolve): Also use DeclaredOnly
        here. 

        (Constructor.Emit): return if we fail to initialize the
        constructor.  Another door closed!  

        * expression.cs (New.DoResolve): Improve error message (from -6 to
        1501).  Use DeclaredOnly lookup to find the exact constructor.

        * typemanager.cs (MemberLookup): If DeclaredOnly is set, do not
        loop.  This is useful.

        * cs-parser.jay: Adjust the default parameters so that destructors
        have the proper signature.

2002-04-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * driver.cs (LoadAssembly): If `assembly' contains any characters
        which are only valid in path names and not in assembly names
        (currently slash, backslash and point), use Assembly.LoadFrom ()
        instead of Assembly.Load () on the `assembly' (before iteration
        over the link_paths).

2002-04-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (is_hex): Correctly handle lowercase chars.

2002-04-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Property): use the new typemanager.MemberLookup

        (TypeContainer.MemberLookup): Implement using the
        TypeManager.MemberLookup now. 

        * typemanager.cs: Make MemberLookup a function of the TypeManager,
        and return MemberInfos, so that these can be used without an
        EmitContext (what we had before).

2002-04-24  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs: Fix the case where the argument to params if the
        type of the params.  I omitted handling this before.   Fixed

2002-04-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: Call BootCorlib_PopulateCoreType

        * class.cs (Property.CheckBase): Check for properties only, not
        for all members. 

        * interface.cs: Temporary hack: try/catch around the
        CustomAttributeBuilder, because I am getting an exception that I
        do not understand.

        * rootcontext.cs (BootCorlib_PopulateCoreType): Populate some
        types whose definitions are required to be there (attributes are
        defined before standard types).

        Compute definitions as we boot the various types, as they are used
        immediately (value_type class will need object_type, but if we do
        not initialize object_type, we will pass a null, which will let
        the runtime pick the System.Object from the existing corlib, which
        is not what we want).

2002-04-22  Patrik Torstensson <totte@labs2.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: fixed a number of trim() issues.

2002-04-22  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Argument.Type): Ensure that we return the correct
        type when we have out or ref parameters [in which case we 
        append a "&"].

2002-04-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Property, Indexer): Allow extern modifier in there. 

        * typemanager.cs (InitBaseTypes): Initializes object_type and
        value_type, since those will be used early on during the bootstrap
        process to compile corlib.

        (InitCoreTypes): Move code from here to InitBaseTypes.

2002-04-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (PropertyExpr): Optimize calls to Array::get_Length on
        single-dimension arrays as using the ldlen opcode.  

        Daniel Lewis discovered this optimization.  

        * typemanager.cs: Add signature for System.Array::get_Length

2002-04-20  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs: report the error when the foreach does not apply to an
        array nor a collection.

2002-04-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs: Add implicit conversions to the operator ~.

        * constant.cs (DecimalConstant.Emit): Emit decimal value.

        * typemanager.cs: Locate the decimal constructor.

2002-04-17  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs: use the new property of TypeOf.
        * expression.cs: added 'get' property around typearg.

        These changes fix a build breaker reported by NickD. Is this the
        correct way to fix?  If not, please, revert my changes and make it
        work :-).

2002-04-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs: Add support for typeof in attribute invocations.
        I am not sure that this is right though.

2002-04-14  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * cfold.cs (BinaryFold): Catch DivideByZeroException in the
        Binary.Operator.Division case.

2002-04-13  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (DefineType): Ensure that we do a proper check on
        attribute types and also register it with the TypeManager.

        (TypeContainer.Targets): The default for attribute types is
        AttributeTargets.All.

        * attribute.cs (ApplyAttributes): Registering the attribute type
        is done elsewhere, not when we discover we have a Usage attribute.

2002-04-12  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (VerifyArgumentsCompat): Implement Miguel's suggestion
        and get rid of is_delegate parameter.

        * everywhere : update.

2002-04-12  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay (compilation_unit): Revamp completely to use
        some new ideas that I got from Rhys' grammar to solve the problems
        with assembly level attributes.

        (outer_declaration): New grammar production.

        (attribute_sections): Add.

        (opt_attributes): Base on attribute_sections

        (namespace_declaration): Allow opt_attributes to tackle the case
        when we have assembly level attributes - we are clever in this
        regard now ;-)

        * attribute.cs (ApplyAttributes): Do not worry about assembly 
        attributes in the non-global context.

        * rootcontext.cs (AddGlobalAttributes): Go back to using this
        instead of SetGlobalAttributes.

        * class.cs, rootcontext.cs : Ensure we define and generate 
        attribute types before anything else.

        * attribute.cs (CheckAttribute and GetValidPlaces): Handle the exception
        and flag the new error -20 for the case when the attribute type
        does not have valid targets specified. csc does not catch this.

        * ../errors/errors.txt : update for error # -20

2002-04-11  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * support.cs (InternalParameters.ParameterModifier): Do some null
        checking and return sane values.

        * class.cs (Method.Define): If we are a PInvoke method, ensure
        that we are static and extern. Report error # 601

        * ../errors/cs0601.cs : Add test case for the above error.

2002-04-07  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * rootcontext.cs (attribute_types): We need to keep type of
        all attribute types separately and emit code for them first.

        (RegisterAttribute) : Implement.

        * class.cs (DefineType): Check if the current Type is a custom
        attribute type and register it accordingly.

        * rootcontext.cs (AddGlobalAttributes): Fix silly bug where we were
        adding the first attribute twice and rename to

        (SetGlobalAttributes): this.

        * rootcontext.cs (NamespaceLookup): Run through the aliases too and perform
        lookups.

        * attribute.cs (ApplyAttributes): Take an additional argument telling us
        if we are processing global arguments. Hmm, I am unsure of this.

2002-04-12  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs: added static array of strings to avoid calling
        Enum.ToString () for Operator in Binary. Significant recover of
        performance.

2002-04-10  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (FindMembers): Allow the Builders of the various
        members to be null.  If they are skip them.  This only happens
        during the PInvoke declaration.

2002-04-09  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * parameter.cs (Parameters.ComputeParameterTypes): Flag the
        failure, so we do not keep going afterwards.

        * expression.cs: (Invocation.OverloadResolve): I believe Ravi
        wanted to pass `false' as the `is_delegate' argument.  If this is
        the case, why not use delegate_type == null to mean `is_delegate =
        false' and anything else as is_delegate = true.

Tue Apr  9 05:40:12  2002 Piers Haken <piersh@friskit.com>

        * statement.cs: fixed SimpleSwitchEmit to make 'goto case' goto the
        code for the section, not the beginning of the tests.

2002-04-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cfold.cs: Handle operator + (Enum x, Underlying x) 

        * expression.cs (Binary): same.  Warn about errors where we have
        Enum/Enum in operator + as well.

Mon Apr  8 06:29:03  2002 Piers Haken <piersh@friskit.com>

        * statement.cs:
                - added support for switch(bool)
                - optimize loading of I8/U8 constants (ldc.i4, iconv_i8)
                - add TableSwitchEmit() to handle table-based switch statements

2002-04-05  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Invocation.OverloadResolve): Factor out code which
        does parameter compatibility checking with arguments so that we can 
        re-use the code even from Delegate.VerifyApplicability

        (VerifyArgumentsCompat): Move above code here.

        * delegate.cs (VerifyApplicability): Get rid of duplicate code
        and instead make a call to the above method.

2002-03-31  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (attribute_type): Corresponds to System.Attribute.
        We use it to keep track of classes which are attribute types.

2002-04-02  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * delegate.cs (Delegate.Define): Correctly define the types in the
        presence of fixed and array parameters.

        * class.cs (TypeContainers.FindMembers): Use NonPublic flag while
        doing FindMembers.

        * ecore.cs (Expression.MemberLookup): Reset binding flags to not
        include NonPublic after the first iteration.

        * class.cs (Indexer.CheckBase): Only check if both parents are
        non-null. 

        * cs-parser.jay (accessor_body): If empty, set to null.

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName.SimpleNameResolve): We did not have the
        same code path here to resolve constants names that we did have in
        MemberAccess.DoResolve.  There is too much code duplicated here.

2002-04-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs, makefile: Drop Statementcollection and just use ArrayLists

        * ecore.cs: Optimize UserDefinedConversion by minimizing the calls
        to MakeUnionSet.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Reuse a single StringBuilder for assembling
        tokens, numbers and strings.

        * ecore.cs (MethodGroupExpr): Make Emit warn about missing
        parenthesis.

        * delegate.cs: Use ComputeAndDefineParameterTypes for both the
        asyncronous parameters and the regular parameters.  

        * codegen.cs (CodeGen.Init): Use the constructor that allows us to
        specify the target directory.

        * expression.cs: (This.DoResolve): Simplify
        (As.Emit): Optimize, do not generate IsInst if the expression is
        always of the given type.

        (Is.DoResolve): Bug fix, we were reporting both always/never for
        the is expression.

        * (Invocation.MakeUnionSet): Simplify vastly and optimize, we were
        creating too many unnecessary arrays.

2002-03-31  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (EmitFieldInitializer): Use Assign expression to assign
        fields instead of rolling our own initializer.   Takes care of all
        implicit conversions, and drops unnecessary static checks/argument.

2002-03-31  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: use the GetDirectories() return values properly, and
        use "/" as path separator.

2002-03-30  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Unary): Optimize - - expr into expr.
        (Binary): Optimize a + (-b) into a -b.

        * codegen.cs (CodeGen): Made all methods static.

2002-03-29  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * rootcontext.cs: 

        * decl.cs: Rename `definition' into `TypeBuilder' and drop the
        TypeBuilder property.

        * cs-parser.jay: Drop the use of RecordXXX and use RecordDecl
        instead. 

        * tree.cs: Removed the various RecordXXXX, and replaced with a
        single RecordDecl.  Removed all the accessor methods, and just
        left a single access point Type 

        * enum.cs: Rename DefineEnum to DefineType.

        * decl.cs: New abstract method `DefineType' used to unify the
        Defines for Enumerations, Interfaces, TypeContainers and
        Delegates.

        (FindType): Moved LookupInterfaceOrClass here.  Moved the
        LookupBaseClasses method that used to live in class.cs and
        interface.cs here, and renamed to FindType.

        * delegate.cs: Implement DefineType.  Take advantage of the
        refactored pattern for locating the parent builder without taking
        the parent_builder argument (which we know does not work if we are
        nested, and triggering a toplevel definition).

2002-03-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * decl.cs (MemberCore.CheckMethodAgainstBase): Test if the
        accessibility of a member has changed during override and report
        an error if so.

        * class.cs (Method.Define, Property.Define): Only complain on
        overrides if the method is private, any other accessibility is
        fine (and since we just checked the permission is the same, we are
        good to go).

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: only line, region, endregion, if, endif, else
        and elif are processed always.  The other pre-processing
        directives are only processed if we are "taking" the path

2002-03-29  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * class.cs (Method.Emit): Only emit symbolic debugging info if the
        current location is not Null.

        * codegen.cs (CodeGen.SaveSymbols): Split out symbol writing code into
        a separate method so we can profile it.

        * driver.cs (ShowTime): We need to use `(int) span.TotalSeconds' since
        `span.Seconds' are just seconds, but no minutes or hours.
        (MainDriver): Profile the CodeGen.SaveSymbols calls.

2002-03-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Method.Define), (Property.Define), (Indexer.Define):
        Remove the gratuitous set of Final:

                                // If an interface implementation, then we can set Final.
                                if (((flags & MethodAttributes.Abstract) == 0) &&
                                    implementing.DeclaringType.IsInterface)
                                        flags |= MethodAttributes.Final;

        I do not know what I was smoking when I used that.


        * cs-parser.jay, delegate.cs: Make Delegate be a DeclSpace, first
        step into fixing the name resolution issues for delegates and
        unifying the toplevel name resolution.

2002-03-28  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * class.cs (Method.Emit): If we have a symbol writer, call its
        OpenMethod(), CloseMethod() and SetMethodSourceRange() methods to
        tell it about the current method.

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.Mark): New public method. Tell the symbol
        writer that we're going to emit the first byte of IL code for a new
        statement (a new source line).
        (EmitContext.EmitTopBlock): If we have a symbol writer, call
        EmitContext.Mark() before emitting any code.

        * location.cs (SymbolDocument): Return null when we're Null.

        * statement.cs (Statement): Moved the `Location loc' variable here.
        (Statement.EmitBoolExpression): If we have a symbol writer, call
        ec.Mark() before emitting any code to tell it that we're at the
        beginning of a new statement.
        (StatementExpression): Added `Location' argument to the constructor.
        (Block): Added public readonly variable `StartLocation' and public
        variable `EndLocation'.  The latter is to be set using SetEndLocation().
        (Block): Added constructor which takes a start and end location.
        (Block.SetEndLocation): New method. This sets the end location.
        (Block.EmitMeta): If we have a symbol writer, tell it the names of the
        local variables we create.
        (Block.Emit): If we have a symbol writer, call ec.Mark() before emitting
        each statement and do also mark the begin and end of the block.

        * cs-parser.jay (block : OPEN_BRACE): Use the new `Block' constructor to
        tell it the current lexer.Location, use Location.Null for the end of the
        block.
        (block : OPEN_BRACE opt_statement_list CLOSE_BRACE): When closing the
        current block, set its end location using SetEndLocation().
        (statement_expression): StatementExpression constructor now takes the
        lexer.Location as additional argument.
        (for_statement, declare_local_variables): Likewise.
        (declare_local_variables): When creating a new implicit block, use the
        new Block constructor and pass it the lexer.Location.

2002-03-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (Expression.MemberLookup): On interfaces, lookup
        members also on the parent interfaces recursively.

2002-03-27  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * report.cs: Use new formats, since Gonzalo finished the missing
        bits. 

        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): added missing operator|
        operator& and operator^ for bool/bool.

        * cs-parser.jay: CheckDef now takes a Location argument that is
        used to report errors more precisly (instead of reporting the end
        of a definition, we try to track something which is a lot closer
        to the source of the problem).

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Track global token use, so we can properly flag
        the use of #define/#undef after the first token has been seen.

        Also, rename the reportXXXX to Error_DescriptiveName

        * decl.cs (DeclSpace.IsTopLevel): Move property here from
        TypeContainer, so that Enum and Interface can use this too.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.LookupInterfaceOrClass,
        GetInterfaceOrClass, GetClassBases, DefineType): Drop the
        `builder' argument.  Typically this was used to pass the parent
        builder (a ModuleBuilder or a TypeBuilder from whoever triggered
        the definition).  

        The problem is that a nested class could trigger the definition of
        a toplevel class, and the builder would be obviously wrong in that
        case. 

        So we drop this argument, and we compute dynamically the
        TypeBuilder/ModuleBuilder (the correct information was available
        to us anyways from DeclSpace.Parent)

        * interface.cs (Interface.DefineInterface): Drop builder
        parameter cleanup like class.cs

        * enum.cs (Enum.DefineEnum): Drop builder parameter.  Clean up
        like class.cs

        * statement.cs (Switch.EmitObjectInteger): Emit short/ushort
        values. 

        (Try.Emit): Propagate the returns value from the statement.

        (Return.Emit): Even if we are leavning 

        * driver.cs: Catch IOExpcetion for Directory.GetFiles as well.

        * modifiers.cs: Fix the computation of MethodAttributes flags.

Tue Mar 26 21:14:36 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: allow compilation of files that start with '/'.
        Add a default case when checking the argument of --target.

2002-03-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * interface.cs: Implement the same search algorithm for types in
        the interface code.

        * delegate.cs: Do not allow multiple definition.

        * Recovered ChangeLog that got accidentally amputated

        * interface.cs (Interface.DefineInterface): Prevent from double definitions.

        * rootcontext.cs: Load manually enum to allow core classes to
        contain enumerations.

        * enum.cs, ecore.cs, driver.cs, attribute.cs, class.cs, expression.cs:
        Update to new static methods in TypeManager.

        * typemanager.cs (GetMethod, GetConstructor): Use our
        implementation of FindMembers to find the members, since during
        corlib compilation, the types are TypeBuilders and GetMethod and
        GetConstructor do not work.

        Make all methods in TypeManager static.

        (InitCodeHelpers): Split the functionality from
        the InitCodeTypes function.

        * driver.cs: Call InitCodeHelpers after we have populated the
        types. 

        * cs-parser.jay (delegate_declaration): we did not used to compute
        the delegate name correctly for void delegates.

2002-03-24  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * rootcontext.cs (RootContext): Init the interface_resolve_order
        and type_container_resolve_order always.

        (ResolveCore, BootstrapCorlib_ResolveClass,
        BootstrapCorlib_ResolveStruct): New functions to bootstrap the
        compiler when compiling with --nostdlib

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.DefineType): Check that our parent is
        not null.  This test is most important when we are bootstraping
        the core types.

        * codegen.cs: Split out the symbol writing code.

2002-03-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * driver.cs (-g): Made -g an alias for --debug.

2002-03-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * codegen.cs (SymbolWriter): New public variable. Returns the
        current symbol writer.
        (CodeGen): Added `bool want_debugging_support' argument to the
         constructor. If true, tell the ModuleBuild that we want debugging
        support and ask it for the ISymbolWriter.
        (Save): If we have a symbol writer, call it's Close() method after
        saving the assembly.

        * driver.c (--debug): New command line argument to create a
        debugger information file.

        * location.cs (SymbolDocument): New public property. Returns an
        ISymbolDocumentWriter object for the current source file or null
        if we don't have a symbol writer.

2002-03-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs (LoadAssembly): Correctly return when all the paths
        have been tried and not before.

        * statement.cs (Switch.Emit): return the actual coverage for this
        statement (returns/not-returns)

        (Switch.SimpleSwitchEmit): Do not generate jumps to the end of the
        switch of the statement if we are the last switch section.  That
        kills two problems: try/catch problems (we used to emit an empty
        nop at the end) and switch statements where all branches would
        return. 

2002-03-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: Add default assemblies (the equivalent to the
        Microsoft CSC.RSP file)

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: When updating `cols and setting it to zero,
        also update tokens_seen and set it to false.

        * driver.cs: Implement --recurse for Mike.

        * driver.cs (SplitPathAndPattern): Small bug fix, I was not
        correctly splitting out the paths.

2002-03-18  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * interface.cs (Interface.PopulateProperty): Instead of using
        `parent' as the declaration space for the set parameters, use
        `this' 

        * support.cs (InternalParameters): InternalParameters constructor
        takes a DeclSpace instead of a TypeContainer.

        * expression.cs (ArrayCreation.EmitDynamicInitializers): If value
        types are being initialized, load the address of it before calling
        the function.  

        (New): Provide a mechanism to disable the generation of local
        value type temporaries when the caller will be providing us with
        an address to store it.

        (ArrayCreation.EmitDynamicInitializers): Use it.

2002-03-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Invocation.EmitArguments): Only probe for array
        property if there is more than one argument.  Sorry about that.

        * class.cs (Invocation.EmitArguments): Fix to emit arguments for
        empty param arrays.

        * class.cs (Method.LabelParameters): Fix incorrect code path that
        prevented the `ParamArrayAttribute' from being applied to the
        params attribute.

2002-03-16  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * support.cs (ReflectionParameters): Correctly compute whether the
        last argument is a params array.  Fixes the problem with
        string.Split ('a')

        * typemanager.cs: Make the assemblies array always be non-null
        (empty, but non-null)

        * tree.cs (RecordDecl): New function that abstracts the recording
        of names.  This reports error 101, and provides a pointer to the
        previous declaration.  Fixes a crash in the compiler.

        * cs-parser.jay (constructor_declaration): Update to new grammar,
        and provide a constructor_body that can be empty.

2002-03-15  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: Add support for --resources.

        * expression.cs: (FetchGetMethod, FetchAddressMethod, EmitAssign):
        Make all types for the various array helper methods be integer.

        * ecore.cs (Expression.ConvertNumericExplicit): Pass the
        CheckState to ConvCast.

        (ConvCast): Now it takes a `checked' state argument, to avoid
        depending on the emit context for the conversion, and just using
        the resolve time setting.

        * expression.cs (ArrayCreation.EmitArrayArguments): New function,
        instead of Invocation.EmitArguments.  We do not emit the original
        arguments, instead we emit those which have been converted to
        unsigned int expressions.

        * statement.cs (Block.EmitMeta): Drop tracking of indexes.

        * codegen.cs: ditto.

        * expression.cs (LocalVariableReference): Drop the use of the
        Store function that depended on the variable index.

        * statement.cs (VariableInfo): Drop the `Idx' property from this
        class, as this is not taking into account the indexes for
        temporaries tat we generate during the execution, getting the
        indexes wrong.

        * class.cs: First emit class initializers, then call the parent
        constructor. 

        * expression.cs (Binary): Fix opcode emision.
        (UnaryMutator.EmitCode): Support checked code generation

        * ecore.cs (MemberLookup): TypeManager.FindMembers will return
        matches for events for both the Static and Instance scans,
        pointing to the same element.   Fix that.

2002-03-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * rootcontext.cs (ResolveTree): Always set the
        interface_resolve_order, because nested interfaces will be calling
        into us.

        * class.cs (GetInterfaceOrClass): Track the same resolution
        process used by TypeManager.LookupType.  This fixes the nested
        type lookups in class declarations (separate path from
        LookupType). 

        (TypeContainer.DefineType): Also define nested interfaces.
        (TypeContainer.RegisterOrder): New public function used to
        register the order in which child interfaces need to be closed.

        Nested interfaces need to be closed after their parents have been
        created. 

        * interface.cs (InterfaceAttr): Put all the logic for computing
        the interface attribute here. 

        (DefineInterface): Register our interface order with the
        RootContext or with the TypeContainer depending on the case.

2002-03-12  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: rework foreach statement to work with the new
        changes to the policy on SimpleNames.

        * report.cs: support Stacktrace on warnings as well.

        * makefile: drop --unsafe and /unsafe from the compile.

2002-03-13  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (StandardConversionExists): Modify to take an Expression
        as the first parameter. Ensure we do null -> reference type conversion
        checking.

        * Everywhere : update calls accordingly, making use of MyEmptyExpr to store
        temporary Expression objects.

Wed Mar 13 12:32:40 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * interface.cs: workaround bug in method overloading resolution
        (there is already a bugzilla bug for it).

2002-03-12  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        We could also solve this problem by having a separate path for
        performing type lookups, instead of DoResolve, we could have a
        ResolveType entry point, and only participating pieces of the
        production (simplename, deref, array) would implement this. 

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext): New field OnlyLookupTypes used to
        signal SimpleName to only resolve type names and not attempt to
        resolve anything else.

        * expression.cs (Cast): Set the flag.

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName): Use the OnlyLookupTypes flag

        * class.cs: Only report 108 if there is no `new' modifier.

        * cs-parser.jay: rework foreach statement to work with the new
        changes to the policy on SimpleNames.

        * report.cs: support Stacktrace on warnings as well.

        * makefile: drop --unsafe and /unsafe from the compile.

2002-03-11  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName.SimpleNameResolve): Perform local variable
        lookups here, instead of doing that at parse time.  This means
        that our grammar will not introduce `LocalVariableReferences' as
        expressions at this point.  That solves the problem of code like
        this:

        class X {
           static void Main ()
           { int X = 1;
            { X x = null }}}

        This is only half the fix.  The full fix requires parameters to
        also be handled in this way.

        * Everywhere: Use ec.DeclSpace on calls to LookupType, as this
        makes the use more obvious of the DeclSpace.  The
        ec.TypeContainer.TypeBuilder is now only used to pull the
        TypeBuilder for it.

        My theory is that I can get rid of the TypeBuilder completely from
        the EmitContext, and have typecasts where it is used (from
        DeclSpace to where it matters).  

        The only pending problem is that the code that implements Aliases
        is on TypeContainer, and probably should go in DeclSpace.

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName.SimpleNameResolve): Perform local variable
        lookups here, instead of doing that at parse time.  This means
        that our grammar will not introduce `LocalVariableReferences' as
        expressions at this point.  That solves the problem of code like
        this:

        class X {
           static void Main ()
           { int X = 1;
            { X x = null }}}

        This is only half the fix.  The full fix requires parameters to
        also be handled in this way.

        * class.cs (Property.DefineMethod): When implementing an interface
        method, set newslot, when implementing an abstract method, do not
        set the flag (before we tried never setting it, or always setting
        it, which is the difference).
        (Indexer.DefineMethod): same.
        (Method.DefineMethod): same.

        * ecore.cs: Only set the status used flag if we get back a Field.

        * attribute.cs: Temporary hack, so Paolo can keep working.

2002-03-08  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.UnmanagedType): This is to keep track of
        the unmanaged type in the case we have a MarshalAs attribute.

        (Resolve): Handle the case when we are parsing the special MarshalAs
        attribute [we need to store the unmanaged type to use later]

        * typemanager.cs (marshal_as_attr_type): Built in type for the 
        MarshalAs Attribute.

        * attribute.cs (ApplyAttributes): Recognize the MarshalAs attribute 
        on parameters and accordingly set the marshalling info.

2002-03-09  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs: Optimizing slightly by removing redundant code after
        we switched to the `NoTypes' return value.
        (Property.DefineMethod): use NoTypes here too.

        This fixes the bug I introduced in my last batch of changes.

2002-03-05  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * tree.cs (RecordEnum): Add. We now keep track of enums too.

        * class.cs (LookupInterfaceOrClass): Check against the list of recorded
        Enums since those are types too. 

        * cs-parser.jay (enum_declaration): Record enums as we parse them.

        * enum.cs (DefineEnum): Return if the TypeBuilder has already been defined 
        thanks to a call during the lookup process.

2002-03-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Foreach): Lots of work to accomodate a particular
        kind of foreach statement that I had not kept in mind.  It is
        possible to have foreachs on classes that provide a GetEnumerator
        method that return objects that implement the "pattern" for using
        a foreach, there is no need to support GetEnumerator
        specifically. 

        This is needed to compile nant.

        * decl.cs: Only report 114 if the member is not `Finalize' and if
        the warning level is at least 2.

        * class.cs: Moved the compare function from Method to
        MethodSignature. 

        (MethodSignature.InheritableMemberSignatureCompare): Add new
        filter function that is used to extract inheritable methods from a
        class. 

        (Method.Define): Use the new `inheritable_method_signature_filter'
        delegate

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (get_cmd_arg): Do not add white space to the
        command. 

2002-03-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (Expression.ConvertReferenceExplicit): Removed dead code.

        * cs-parser.jay: Add opt_semicolon to the interface declaration.

        * expression.cs: Pass location information to
        ConvertImplicitStandard. 

        * class.cs: Added debugging code to track return values from
        interfaces. 

2002-03-05  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Is.DoResolve): If either side of the `is' is an
        interface, do not flag the warning.

        * ecore.cs (ImplicitReferenceConversion): We need a separate test
        for interfaces

        * report.cs: Allow for --fatal to be used with --probe.

        * typemanager.cs (NoTypes): Move the definition for the empty Type
        array here. 

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.FindMembers): Also look for methods defined by
        properties. 
        (TypeContainer.DefineProxy): New function used to proxy to parent
        implementations when implementing interfaces.
        (TypeContainer.ParentImplements): used to lookup if our parent
        implements a public function that is required by an interface.
        (TypeContainer.VerifyPendingMethods): Hook this up.

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager, AddModule, AddAssembly): Make the
        `modules' and `assemblies' arraylists into arrays.  We only grow
        these are the very early start up of the program, so this improves
        the speedof LookupType (nicely measured).

        * expression.cs (MakeByteBlob): Replaced unsafe code with
        BitConverter, as suggested by Paolo.

        * cfold.cs (ConstantFold.Binary): Special case: perform constant
        folding of string concatenation, but if either side is a string,
        and the other is not, then return null, and let the runtime use
        the concatenation on the string plus the object (using
        `Object.ToString'). 

2002-03-04  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        Constant Folding has been implemented now.

        * expression.cs (Unary.Reduce): Do not throw an exception, catch
        the error instead on types that are not supported in one's
        complement. 

        * constant.cs (Constant and all children): New set of functions to
        perform implict and explicit conversions.

        * ecore.cs (EnumConstant): Implement the new functions to perform
        conversion by proxying to the child expression.

        * codegen.cs: (ConstantCheckState): Constant evaluation has its
        own separate setting that can not be turned off from the command
        line using --unchecked or --checked and is only controlled using
        the checked/unchecked statements and expressions.  This setting is
        used by the constant folder to flag errors.

        * expression.cs (CheckedExpr, UncheckedExpr): Set the
        ConstantCheckState as well.   

        During Resolve, they also have to flag the state, because the
        constant folder runs completely in the Resolve phase.

        * statement.cs (Checked, Unchecked): Set the ConstantCheckState as
        well.

2002-03-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cfold.cs: New file, this file contains the constant folder.

        * ecore.cs (IMemoryLocation.AddressOf): Now takes an extra
        argument to track whether we are using the resulting address to
        load or store a value and provide better error messages. 

        (FieldExpr.Emit, FieldExpr.EmitAssign, FieldExpr.AddressOf): Use
        new AddressOf arguments.

        * statement.cs (Foreach.EmitCollectionForeach): Update

        * expression.cs (Argument.Emit): Call AddressOf with proper
        arguments to track usage.

        (New.DoEmit): Call AddressOf with new arguments.

        (Unary.Emit): Adjust AddressOf call.

2002-03-01  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay (member_access): Change the case for pre-defined types
        to use a MemberAccess instead of a SimpleName. Thanks to Felix again for 
        this suggestion.

        * class.cs (Operator::Emit): If we are abstract or extern, we don't have
        a method body.

        * attribute.cs (CheckAttribute, ApplyAttribute): Ensure that we treat operators
        essentially like methods and apply attributes like MethodImplOptions to them too.

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName.SimpleNameResolve): Perform a check on ec.TypeContainer.TypeBuilder
        not being null.

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext): The constructor now takes in an extra argument specifying the
        DeclSpace as the distinction is important. We provide sane defaults as usually the TypeContainer
        is the DeclSpace.

        * Update code everywhere accordingly.

        * ecore.cs : Change references to ec.TypeContainer to ec.DeclSpace where appropriate.

        * cs-parser.jay (enum_declaration): Set the current namespace of the enum.

2002-02-28  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * rootcontext.cs (LookupType): As we cycle through the chain of namespaces
        try performing lookups against those instead of jumping straight into using
        the 'using' clauses.

        (ImplicitParent): Add. Thanks to Felix Arrese-Igor for this idea.

        (LookupType): Perform lookups in implicit parents too.

        * class.cs (GetInterfaceOrClass): Modify to perform the exact same lookup
        sequence as RootContext.LookupType. 

        * rootcontext.cs (NamespaceLookup): Split out code from LookupType which tries 
        the various cases of namespace lookups into this method.

2002-03-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Add support for [Attribute ()] (empty arguments
        in positional arguments)

        * class.cs (Operator): Update the AllowedModifiers to contain
        extern. 

        * cs-parser.jay: Update operator declaration to allow for the
        operator body to be empty.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Added '\u' unicode support in strings and hex
        values. 

2002-02-27  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Method.Emit): Label parameters.

        * driver.cs: Return 1 or 0 as the program exit code.

2002-02-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs: Special case the `null' object when trying to
        auto-compute the type, as anything can be explicitly converted to
        that. 

        * ecore.cs (Expression.ConvertExplicit): Bug fix, thanks for
        spotting this Paolo.

        (Expression.ImplicitNumericConversion): Perform comparissions of
        the type using the underlying type in the case of an enumeration
        rather than using the enumeration type for the compare.

        Cope with the underlying == type case, which is not possible to
        catch before. 

        (Expression.ConvertNumericExplicit): Perform comparissions of
        the type using the underlying type in the case of an enumeration
        rather than using the enumeration type for the compare.

        * driver.cs: If the user does not supply an extension, assume .exe

        * cs-parser.jay (if_statement): Rewrote so that we can track the
        location for the if statement.

        * expression.cs (Binary.ConstantFold): Only concat strings when
        the operation is "+", not everything ;-)

        * statement.cs (Statement.EmitBoolExpression): Take a location
        argument. 
        (If, While, Do): Track location.

        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): In the object + string
        case, I was missing a call to ConvertImplicit

2002-02-25  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * parameter.cs (Parameter.ExternalType): Take in extra DeclSpace and
        Location arguments. Ensure we use RootContext.LookupType to do our work
        and not try to do a direct Type.GetType and ModuleBuilder.GetType

        * interface.cs (PopulateMethod): Handle the type of the parameter being
        null gracefully.

        * expression.cs (Invocation.BetterFunction): Handle the case when we 
        have a params method with no fixed arguments and a call is made with no
        arguments.

2002-02-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Add support for the quote-escape-sequence in
        the verbatim-string-literal

        * support.cs (InternalParameters.ParameterModifier): handle null
        fixed parameters.
        (InternalParameters.ParameterType): ditto.

        * parameter.cs (VerifyArgs): Also check if the fixed parameter is
        duplicating the name of the variable parameter.
        (GetParameterByName): Fix bug where we were not looking up array
        paramters if they were the only present (thanks Paolo!).
        (GetParameterInfo): We only have an empty set of types if both
        fixed and array are set to null.
        (GetParameterInfo-idx): Handle FixedParameter == null

        * cs-parser.jay: Handle the case where there is no catch
        statements (missing null test).

2002-02-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs (MainDriver): Be conservative on our command line
        handling.

        Catch DirectoryNotFoundException when calling GetFiles.

        (SplitPathAndPattern): Used to split the input specification into
        a path and a pattern that we can feed to Directory.GetFiles.

2002-02-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Fixed): Implement the last case of the Fixed
        statement (string handling).

        * expression.cs (StringPtr): New class used to return a char * to
        a string;  Used by the Fixed statement.

        * typemanager.cs: Add char_ptr_type.  Add get_OffsetToStringData method.

        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): Remove redundant
        MemberLookup pn parent type.
        Optimize union call, we do not need a union if the types are the same.
        (Unary.ResolveOperator): REmove redundant MemberLookup on parent
        type.

        Specialize the use of MemberLookup everywhere, instead of using
        the default settings. 

        (StackAlloc): Implement stackalloc keyword.

        * cs-parser.jay: Add rule to parse stackalloc.

        * driver.cs: Handle /h, /help, /?

        * expression.cs (MakeByteBlob): Removed the hacks we had in place
        before we supported unsafe code.

        * makefile: add --unsafe to the self compilation of mcs.

2002-02-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (PointerArithmetic): New class that is used to
        perform pointer arithmetic.
        (Binary.Resolve): Handle pointer arithmetic
        Handle pointer comparission.
        (ArrayPtr): Utility expression class that is used to take the
        address of an array.

        (ElementAccess): Implement array access for pointers

        * statement.cs (Fixed): Implement fixed statement for arrays, we
        are missing one more case before we are done.

        * expression.cs (Indirection): Implement EmitAssign and set the
        ExprClass to Variable.  This allows pointer dereferences to be
        treated as variables, and to have values assigned to them.

        * ecore.cs (Expression.StoreFromPtr): New utility function to
        store values dereferencing.

2002-02-20  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): Ensure that we are
        not trying to operate on a void type - this fixes the reported
        bug.

        * decl.cs (CheckMethodAgainstBase): Do not allow overriding if
        the parent implementation is sealed.

        * ../errors/cs0239.cs : Add.

        * attribute.cs (ApplyAttributes): Handle Modulebuilders too.

        * typemanager.cs (unverifiable_code_type): Corresponds to 
        System.Security.UnverifiableCodeAttribute. We need to emit this for modules
        which have unsafe code in them.

        * rootcontext.cs (EmitCode): Emit the above attribute when we are in an 
        unsafe context.

2002-02-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Add support for @"litreal strings"

        Make tokenizer accept pre-processor directives
        on any column (remove the old C-like limitation). 

        * rootcontext.cs (EmitCode): Emit any global attributes.
        (AddGlobalAttributes): Used to keep track of assembly attributes. 

        * attribute.cs (ApplyAttributes): Support AssemblyAttributes.

        * cs-parser.jay: Add support for global attributes.  

2002-02-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Indirection): New helper class.  Unary will
        create Indirection classes to be able to implement the
        IMemoryLocation interface on it.

2002-02-16  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay (fixed_statement): reference the right statement.

        * statement.cs (Fixed.Emit): Finish implementing the fixed
        statement for the &x case.

2002-02-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Property.Define, Method.Define): Remove newslot when
        `implementing'.  

        * modifiers.cs: My use of NewSlot when `Abstract' was set was
        wrong.  NewSlot should only be used if the `new' keyword is present.

        * driver.cs (GetSystemDir): Use CodeBase instead of FullName for
        locating our system dir.  Sorry about this.

2002-02-13  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs (GetSystemDir): Compute correctly the location of our
        system assemblies.  I was using the compiler directory instead of
        the library directory.

2002-02-13  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (BetterFunction): Put back in what Miguel commented out
        since it is the correct fix. The problem is elsewhere ;-)

        (IsParamsMethodApplicable): Fix bug where we were not checking that the fixed
        parameters of the parms method are themselves compatible or not !

        (StandardConversionExists): Fix very dangerous bug where we were forgetting
        to check that a class implements an interface before saying that an implicit
        conversion was allowed. Use ImplementsInterface to do the checking.

2002-02-13  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Method.Define): Track whether we are an explicit
        implementation or not.  And only call DefineMethodOverride if we
        are an explicit implementation.

        (Property.DefineMethod): Ditto.

2002-02-11  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (BetterFunction): Catch hideous bug which was
         preventing us from detecting ambiguous calls due to implicit casts i.e
        cs0121.

2002-01-29  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * support.cs (Pair): Remove un-needed method.  I figured why I was
        getting the error in cs-parser.jay, the variable in a foreach loop
        is readonly, and the compiler does not really treat this as a variable.

        * cs-parser.jay (fixed_statement): Fix grammar.  Use ASSIGN
        instead of EQUALS in grammar.  

        * typemanager.cs (VerifyUnmanaged): Report correct error (208)

        * expression.cs (Unary.DoResolve): Check whether the argument is
        managed or not.

2002-01-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * support.cs: Api for Pair to set a value.  Despite the fact that
        the variables are public the MS C# compiler refuses to compile
        code that accesses the field if the variable is part of a foreach
        statement. 

        * statement.cs (Fixed): Begin implementation of the fixed
        statement.

        (Block.AddVariable): Return the VariableInfo on success and null
        on failure instead of true/false. 

        * cs-parser.jay (foreach): Catch errors on variables already
        defined (we were ignoring this value before) and properly unwind
        the block hierarchy

        (fixed_statement): grammar for the fixed statement.

2002-01-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (UnaryMutator.IsIncrementableNumber): Allow also
        pointer types to be incretemented.

        (SizeOf): Implement.

        * cs-parser.jay (pointer_member_access): Implement
        expr->IDENTIFIER production.

        * expression.cs (IndexerAccess.DoResolve, ArrayAccess.DoResolve,
        MemberAccess.DoResolve, Invocation.DoResolve): Check for pointers
        on safe contexts.

        (Unary): Implement indirection.

        * ecore.cs (Expression.UnsafeError): Reports error 214 (pointer
        use in non-unsafe context).

        (SimpleName.DoResolve): Check for pointers in field access on safe
        contexts. 

        (Expression.LoadFromPtr): Factor the load-indirect code in this
        function.  This was duplicated in UnboxCast and ParameterReference

2002-01-24  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (ComposedCast): report an error if a pointer cast
        is used in a safe region.

        * ecore.cs (Expression.ConvertExplicit): Add rules for implicit
        pointer type casts in unsafe context.

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext): Set up IsUnsafe.

        * cs-parser.jay (non_expression_type): Add productions for pointer
        casts. 

        * expression.cs (Invocation.EmitCall): Remove chunk of buggy
        code.  We should not use force into static mode if the method is
        not virtual.  Fixes bug in MIS

        * statement.cs (Do.Emit, While.Emit, For.Emit,
        Statement.EmitBoolExpression): Add support to Do and While to
        propagate infinite loop as `I do return' semantics.

        Improve the For case to also test for boolean constants.

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.ApplyAttributes): Add ParameterBuilder
        to the list of attributes we can add.

        Remove `EmitContext' argument.

        * class.cs (Method.Define): Apply parameter attributes.
        (Constructor.Define): Apply parameter attributes.
        (MethodCore.LabelParameters): Move here the core of labeling
        parameters. 

        * support.cs (ReflectionParameters.ParameterModifier,
        InternalParameters.ParameterModifier): Use IsByRef on the type and
        only return the OUT bit for these parameters instead of in/out/ref
        flags.

        This is because I miss-understood things.  The ParameterInfo.IsIn
        and IsOut represent whether the parameter has the [In] and [Out]
        attributes set.  

2002-01-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (FieldExpr.Emit): Release temporaries.

        * assign.cs (LocalTemporary.Release): new function.

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.GetTemporaryStorage,
        EmitContext.FreeTemporaryStorage): Rework the way we deal with
        temporary storage.  Now we can "put back" localbuilders when we
        are done with them

2002-01-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (FieldExpr.Emit): Handle initonly fields specially: we
        need to make a copy of the variable to generate verifiable code.

2002-01-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: Compute dynamically the system directory.

        * ecore.cs (CopyNewMethods): reworked, exposed, made public.
        Slower, but more generally useful.  Used by the abstract
        registering implementation. 

        * expression.cs (ResolveMemberAccess): Reorder the way we evaluate
        the rules for the special rule on Type/instances.  First check if
        we have the same name, and if so, try that special static path
        rather than the instance path.

2002-01-18  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Emit 642 (warning: possible empty statement) for
        for, while and if.

        * class.cs (TypeBuilder.DefineType): Do not allow inheritance from
        Enum, ValueType, Delegate or Array for non-corlib compiles.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Catch long identifiers (645)

        * typemanager.cs (IndexerPropetyName): Ravi never tested this
        piece of code.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.RegisterRequiredImplementations): Bug
        fix, we were returning too early, so we were not registering
        pending methods from abstract classes.

        Do not register pending methods if the class is abstract.

        * expression.cs (Conditional.DoResolve): Report circular implicit
        conversions when we neecd to compute it for conditional
        expressions. 

        (Is.DoResolve): If the expression is always of the provided type,
        flag warning 183.  If the expression can not ever be of the
        provided type flag warning 184.

        * class.cs: Catch 169 as well.

        * ecore.cs (FieldExpr): For now in AddressOf mark as assigned and
        read. 

2002-01-18  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * makefile: remove path to beta2 csc.exe.  path to csc.exe must be in PATH instead.

2002-01-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * interface.cs: (PopulateMethod): Check for pointers being defined
        only if the unsafe context is active.
        (PopulateProperty): ditto.
        (PopulateIndexer): ditto.

        * class.cs (Method, Method.Define): Allow `unsafe' modifier to be
        specified.  If pointers are present, make sure that they are
        present in an unsafe context.
        (Constructor, Constructor.Define): ditto.
        (Field, Field.Define): ditto.
        (Property, Property.Define): ditto.
        (Event, Event.Define): ditto.

        * interface.cs (Interface.GetInterfaceTypeByName): Only lookup the
        hashtable if there are classes or structs defined.

        * expression.cs (LocalVariableReference.DoResolve): Simplify this
        code, as the constant resolution moved.

        * statement.cs (Block.EmitMeta): Resolve all constants as we emit
        the metadata, so we can flag error 133. 

        * decl.cs (MemberCore.UnsafeOK): New function to test that a
        pointer is being declared in an unsafe context.

2002-01-16  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * modifiers.cs (Modifiers.Check): Require a Location argument.
        Report error 227 for Unsafe use.

        * typemanager.cs: Remove IsPointerType, we should be using Type.IsPointer

        * statement.cs (For.Emit): If the test is null, then report that
        we do `return', as we wont reach anything afterwards.

        (Switch.SwitchGoverningType): Track the expression that matched
        the conversion.

        * driver.cs: Allow negative numbers as an error code to flag.

        * cs-parser.jay: Handle 1551.

        * namespace.cs: Add 1537 checking (repeated using alias namespaces).

2002-01-15  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Report 1518 (type declaration can only contain
        class, struct, interface, enum or delegate)

        (switch_label): Report 1523 (keywords `case' or `default' must
        preced code)

        (opt_switch_sections): Report 1522 (empty switch)

        * driver.cs: Report 1515 (response file specified multiple times)
        Report 1516 (Source file specified multiple times).

        * expression.cs (Argument.Resolve): Signal 1510

        (BaseAccess.Resolve, BaseIndexer.Resolve): Signal 1511 (base
        access not allowed in static code)

2002-01-11  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (IsPointerType): Utility method which we are going
        to need a lot.

        * ecore.cs (ImplicitReferenceConversion): A pointer type cannot be cast to
        the object type, so we take care of that.

        * expression.cs (FullMethodDesc): Also include the return type in descriptions.

        * support.cs (ParameterDesc): Fix minor bug which was causing params tags to be
        added to non-params parameters :-)

        * typemanager.cs (CSharpName): Include 'void' type too. 

        (void_ptr_type): Include in the set of core types.

        * ecore.cs (ConvertImplicit): Make use of ConvertImplicitStandard instead of 
        duplicating code.

        (ConvertImplicitStandard): Handle standard implicit pointer conversions when we have 
        an unsafe context.

        * cs-parser.jay (local_variable_pointer_type): Add support for 'void *' as I had 
        completely forgotten about it.

2002-01-10  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay (pointer_type): Add. This begins our implementation
        of parsing rules for unsafe code.

        (unsafe_statement): Implement.

        (embedded_statement): Modify to include the above.

        * statement.cs (Unsafe): Implement new class for unsafe blocks.

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.InUnsafe): Add. This determines
        if the current context is an unsafe one.

        * cs-parser.jay (local_variable_pointer_type): Since local variable types
        are handled differently, we need separate rules for them.

        (local_variable_declaration): Update to use local_variable_pointer_type
        to allow variable declarations of unmanaged pointer types.

        * expression.cs (Unary.ResolveOperator): Ensure that the '&' operator is used only
        in unsafe contexts.

        * ../errors/cs0214.cs : Add.

2002-01-16  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * makefile: remove 'response' file when cleaning.

2002-01-15  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Report 1524.

2002-01-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (RegisterMethod): drop checking if we have
        registered this from here

2002-01-12  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Method.EmitDestructor): Implement calling our base
        destructor. 

        * statement.cs (Try.Emit): Fix to reset the InFinally to the old
        value of InFinally.

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.EmitTopBlock): Destructors will call
        this routine and will wrap the call in a try/catch block.  Deal
        with the case.

2002-01-11  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (Expression.MemberLookup): instead of taking a
        parameter `same_type' that was used to tell whether we could
        access private members we compute our containing type from the
        EmitContext.

        (FieldExpr): Added partial support for volatile fields.  This does
        not work for volatile fields exposed from assemblies, as I can not
        figure out how to extract the modreq from it.

        Updated all the source files to use this.

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext): Compute ContainerType ahead of time,
        because it is referenced by MemberLookup very often. 

2002-01-09  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (IndexerPropertyName): If we have a TypeBuilder, use
        TypeBuilder.GetCustomAttributes to retrieve what we need.

        Get rid of redundant default_member_attr_type as this is the same as
        default_member_type which already exists.

        * interface.cs, attribute.cs : Update accordingly.

2002-01-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs: Enable IndexerPropertyName again.  It does not
        work for TYpeBuilders though.  Ravi, can you please fix this?

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Accept _ as a name in pp-expressions.

        * expression.cs (Argument.Emit): Handle the case of ref objects
        being passed to ref functions;  

        (ParameterReference.EmitLoad): Loads the content of the pointer
        without dereferencing.

2002-01-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Implemented the pre-processing expressions.

2002-01-08  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Indexer.DefineMethod): Incorporate the interface
        type in the name of the method if we are doing explicit interface
        implementation.

        * expression.cs (ConversionExists): Remove as it is completely obsolete.

        (BetterConversion): Fix extremely trivial bug where we were referring to
        ConversionExists instead of StandardConversionExists ! Hooray, things are fine
        again !

        * ../errors/bug16.cs : Add although we have fixed it.

2002-01-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (BaseIndexer): Begin implementation.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.IsInterfaceMethod): Bug fix.

        * cs-parser.jay (indexer_declarator): Use qualified_identifier
        production directly to remove a shift/reduce, and implement
        explicit interface implementation.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Fix tokenizer, it was consuming one extra char
        after a floating point suffix.

        * expression.cs (DoNumericPromotions): Improved the conversion for
        uint/uint.  If we have a constant, we avoid doing a typecast to a
        larger type.

        * class.cs (Indexer): Implement explicit interface implementation
        for indexers.

Sat Jan 5 16:08:23 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.cs: make the default instance constructor public and hidebysig.

2001-01-03  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * interface.cs (EmitDefaultMemberAttr): Make this helper method static
        so we can call it from elsewhere.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.Emit): Emit the attribute here too. The rule is that
        we emit it internally if the class has a defined indexer; otherwise the user
        emits it by decorating the class definition with the DefaultMemberAttribute.

        * attribute.cs (ApplyAttributes): Perform checks to see that the DefaultMember
        attribute is not used on a type which defines an indexer.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (get_cmd_arg): Ensure we trim whitespace and also include the tab
        character when we skip whitespace.

        * ../errors/cs0646.cs : Add.

2002-01-03  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName.ResolveSimpleName): Report error 120
        again. 

        * makefile: Add practical target `mcs3.exe' which builds the third
        generation compiler. 

        * expression.cs (New): Fix structures constructor calling.

        * class.cs (Property, Method, Indexer): Emit Final flag on the
        method if we are an interface implementation and we are not
        abstract. 

        * ecore.cs (PropertyExpr): New public field `IsBase', tells
        whether this property is referencing a `base' method.

        * expression.cs (Invocation.EmitCall): take an extra argument:
        is_base, this is used to determine whether the `call' or
        `callvirt' opcode should be used.


        * delegate.cs: update EmitCall.

        * class.cs (Method.Define): Set NewSlot for the cases where we are
        not implementing an interface method.

        (Property.Define): ditto.

2002-01-02  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: (Tokenizer.escape): Escape '\r' as '\r' not as
        'r'.  Allows mcs to parse itself fully.

2002-01-02  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (ArrayCreation.num_automatic_initializers): Keep track
        of the number of initializers that require the InitializeArray method.

        (CheckIndices): Store the Expression in all cases - not the plain value. Also
        update the above field where necessary.

        (MakeByteBlob): Update accordingly.

        (DoEmit): Call EmitStaticInitializers only if the number of initializers is 
        greater than 2.

        (EmitDynamicInitializers): Update in accordance with the new optimization.

        (ArrayAccess.EmitStoreOpcode): Include char type along with short and ushort - the
        same OpCode applies.

        * cs-parser.jay : Fix some glaring errors I introduced.

2002-01-01  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com> 

        * parameters.cs (AddVariable, AddConstant): Pass in current_local_parameters
        so that we can check for name clashes there too.

        * typemanager.cs (default_member_attr_type): The attribute that we need to emit
        for interface indexers.

        * interfaces.cs (Define): Emit the default member attribute.

        * expression.cs (MakeByteBlob): Fix extremely trivial bug where the wrong
        variable was being referred to while setting the value ;-)

2002-01-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (MakeByteBlob): Optimize: we do not need to fill
        byte-by-byte information when we know the data is zero.

        Make the block always a multiple of 4, because
        DefineInitializedData has a bug.

        * assign.cs: Fix, we should assign from the temporary, not from
        the source. 

        * expression.cs (MakeByteBlob): Fix my incorrect code.

2001-12-31  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (EnumToUnderlying): This function is used to get
        the underlying type from an enumeration, because it does not
        always work. 

        * constant.cs: Use the I4_S form for values between -128 and 127.

        * statement.cs (Block.LookupLabel): Looks up a label.
        (Block): Drop support for labeled blocks.

        (LabeledStatement): New kind of statement that represents a label
        only.

        (Goto): Finally implement this bad boy.

        * cs-parser.jay: Update to reflect new mechanism to implement
        labels.

2001-12-30  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext.This): a codegen property that keeps the
        a single instance of this instead of creating many different this
        instances. 

        * delegate.cs (Delegate.DoResolve): Update to use the property;

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName.SimpleNameResolve): Ditto

        * expression.cs (BaseAccess.DoResolve): Ditto.

2001-12-29  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (methodimpl_attr_type): Add to hold the type
        corresponding to System.Runtime.CompilerServices.MethodImplAttribute.

        (InitCoreTypes): Update accordingly.

        * attribute.cs (Resolve): Remember if the attribute is a MethodImplAttribute
        so we can quickly store the state.

        (ApplyAttributes): Set the correct implementation flags
        for InternalCall methods.

2001-12-29  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (EmitCall): if a method is not virtual, then do
        not use callvirt on it.

        (ArrayAccess.EmitAssign): storing non-builtin value types (ie,
        user defined stuff) requires the use of stobj, which takes an
        address on the stack instead of an array and an index.  So emit
        the Ldelema operation for it.

        (EmitStoreOpcode): Use stobj for valuetypes.

        (UnaryMutator.EmitCode): Use the right 1 value depending on
        whether we are dealing with int64/uint64, float or doubles.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.AddConstructor): Fix the logic to define
        constructors that I implemented last night.

        (Constructor.IsDefault): Fix to work properly for static
        constructors.

        * cs-parser.jay (CheckDef): report method signature errors.
        Update error number 103 to be 132.

        * decl.cs: New AdditionResult enumeration value: MethodExists.
        Although we do this check for methods later on in the semantic
        analysis, catching repeated default constructors is so easy that
        we catch these here. 

        * expression.cs (Binary.DoNumericPromotions): Fix the uint64 type
        promotions code.

        (ParameterReference.EmitAssign, Emit): handle
        bools as bytes.

        (ArrayAccess.EmitLoadOpcode): Handle bool type here.
        (ArrayAccess.EmitStoreOpcode): ditto.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (is_punct): Eliminated empty computation.

        * expression.cs (MakeByteBlob): Complete all the missing types
        (uint, short, ushort, byte, sbyte)

        * class.cs: Only init instance field initializers on instance
        constructors. 

        Rename `constructors' to instance_constructors. 

        (TypeContainer.AddConstructor): Only add constructors to the list
        if it is not static.

        Make sure that we handle default_static_constructor independently
        everywhere where we handle instance_constructors

2001-12-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs: Do not lookup or create a base initializer for a
        static constructor.

        (ConstructorInitializer.Resolve): use the proper type to lookup
        for constructors.

        * cs-parser.jay: Report error 1585 (modifiers between type and name).

        * enum.cs, interface.cs: Remove CloseType, this is taken care by
        in DeclSpace. 

        * decl.cs: CloseType is now an virtual method, the default
        implementation just closes this type.

2001-12-28  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs (DefinePInvokeMethod): Set the implementation flags
        to PreserveSig by default. Also emit HideBySig on such methods.

        Basically, set the defaults to standard values.

        * expression.cs (Invocation.BetterFunction): We need to make sure that for each
        argument, if candidate is better, it can't be worse than the best !

        (Invocation): Re-write bits to differentiate between methods being
        applicable in their expanded form and their normal form - for params
        methods of course.

        Get rid of use_standard everywhere as only standard conversions are allowed
        in overload resolution. 

        More spec conformance.

2001-12-27  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: Add --timestamp, to see where the compiler spends
        most of its time.

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName.DoResolve): Do not create an implicit
        `this' in static code.

        (SimpleName.DoResolve): Implement in terms of a helper function
        that allows static-references to be passed upstream to
        MemberAccess.

        (Expression.ResolveWithSimpleName): Resolve specially simple
        names when called by MemberAccess to implement the special
        semantics. 

        (Expression.ImplicitReferenceConversion): Handle conversions from
        Null to reference types before others, as Null's type is
        System.Object. 

        * expression.cs (Invocation.EmitCall): Handle the special case of
        calling methods declared on a reference type from a ValueType
        (Base classes System.Object and System.Enum)

        (MemberAccess.Resolve): Only perform lookups on Enumerations if
        the left hand side is a TypeExpr, not on every enumeration. 

        (Binary.Resolve): If types are reference types, then do a cast to
        object on operators != and == of both arguments.

        * typemanager.cs (FindMembers): Extract instance and static
        members if requested.

        * interface.cs (PopulateProperty): Use void_type instead of null
        as the return type for the setter method.

        (PopulateIndexer): ditto.

2001-12-27  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * support.cs (ReflectionParameters): Fix minor bug where we
        were examining the wrong parameter for the ParamArray attribute.

        Cope with requests for the type of the parameter at position
        greater than the params parameter's. We now return the element
        type of the params array as that makes more sense.

        * expression.cs (Invocation.IsParamsMethodApplicable): Update 
        accordingly as we no longer have to extract the element type
        ourselves.

        (Invocation.OverloadResolve): Update.

2001-12-27  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Foreach.GetEnumeratorFilter): Do not compare
        against IEnumerator, test whether the return value is a descendant
        of the IEnumerator interface.

        * class.cs (Indexer.Define): Use an auxiliary method to implement
        the other bits of the method definition.  Begin support for
        explicit interface implementation.

        (Property.DefineMethod): Use TypeManager.void_type instead of null
        for an empty return value.

2001-12-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (MemberAccess.ResolveMemberAccess): if we are
        dealing with a FieldExpr which is composed of a FieldBuilder, in
        the code path we did extract the constant, but we should have
        obtained the underlying value to be able to cast it (otherwise we
        end up in an infinite loop, this is what Ravi was running into).

        (ArrayCreation.UpdateIndices): Arrays might be empty.

        (MemberAccess.ResolveMemberAccess): Add support for section
        14.5.4.1 that deals with the special case of E.I when E is a type
        and something else, that I can be a reference to a static member.

        (ArrayCreation.MakeByteBlob): It is not an error to not be able to
        handle a particular array type to create byte blobs, it is just
        something we dont generate byteblobs for.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (get_cmd_arg): Ignore \r in commands and
        arguments. 

        * location.cs (Push): remove the key from the hashtable that we
        are about to add.   This happens for empty files.

        * driver.cs: Dispose files after we have parsed them.

        (tokenize): new function that only runs the tokenizer on its
        input, for speed testing.

2001-12-26  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Event.Define): Define the private field only if there
        are no accessors defined.

        * expression.cs (ResolveMemberAccess): If there is no associated
        field with the event, that means we have an event defined with its
        own accessors and we should flag error cs0070 since transforming
        ourselves into a field is not valid in that case.

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName.DoResolve): Same as above.

        * attribute.cs (DefinePInvokeMethod): Set the default calling convention
        and charset to sane values.

2001-12-25  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * assign.cs (DoResolve): Perform check on events only if they 
        are being accessed outside the declaring type.

        * cs-parser.jay (event_declarations): Update rules to correctly
        set the type of the implicit parameter etc.

        (add_accessor, remove_accessor): Set current local parameters.

        * expression.cs (Binary): For delegate addition and subtraction,
        cast the return value from the method into the appropriate delegate
        type.

2001-12-24  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (RegisterDelegateData, GetDelegateData): Get rid
        of these as the workaround is unnecessary.

        * delegate.cs (NewDelegate.DoResolve): Get rid of bits which registered
        delegate data - none of that is needed at all.

        Re-write bits to extract the instance expression and the delegate method
        correctly.

        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): Handle the '-' binary operator 
        on delegates too.

        * attribute.cs (ApplyAttributes): New method to take care of common tasks
        of attaching attributes instead of duplicating code everywhere.

        * everywhere : Update code to do attribute emission using the above method.

2001-12-23  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (IsParamsMethodApplicable): if there are not
        parameters, return immediately.

        * ecore.cs: The 0 literal can be implicity converted to an enum
        type. 

        (SimpleName.DoResolve): First lookup the type, then lookup the
        members. 

        (FieldExpr.Emit): If the InstanceExpression is a ValueType, we
        want to get its address.  If the InstanceExpression is not
        addressable, store the result in a temporary variable, then get
        the address of it.

        * codegen.cs: Only display 219 errors on warning level or above. 

        * expression.cs (ArrayAccess): Make it implement the
        IMemoryLocation interface.

        (Binary.DoResolve): handle the operator == (object a, object b)
        and operator != (object a, object b) without incurring into a
        BoxedCast (because 5 != o should never be performed).

        Handle binary enumerator operators.

        (EmitLoadOpcode): Use Ldelema if the object we are loading is a
        value type, otherwise use Ldelem_ref.

        Use precomputed names;

        (AddressOf): Implement address of

        * cs-parser.jay (labeled_statement): Fix recursive block
        addition by reworking the production.

        * expression.cs (New.DoEmit): New has a special case:
                
                 If we are dealing with a ValueType, we have a few
                 situations to deal with:
                
                    * The target of New is a ValueType variable, that is
                      easy, we just pass this as the variable reference
                
                    * The target of New is being passed as an argument,
                      to a boxing operation or a function that takes a
                      ValueType.
                
                      In this case, we need to create a temporary variable
                      that is the argument of New.


2001-12-23  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * rootcontext.cs (LookupType): Check that current_type is not null before
        going about looking at nested types.

        * ecore.cs (EventExpr.EmitAddOrRemove): Rename from EmitAssign as we do
        not implement the IAssignMethod interface any more.

        * expression.cs (MemberAccess.ResolveMemberAccess): Handle EventExprs specially
        where we tranform them into FieldExprs if they are being resolved from within
        the declaring type.

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName.DoResolve): Do the same here.

        * assign.cs (DoResolve, Emit): Clean up code considerably. 

        * ../errors/bug10.cs : Add.

        * ../errors/cs0070.cs : Add.

        * typemanager.cs : Use PtrHashtable for Delegate data hashtable etc.

        * assign.cs : Get rid of EventIsLocal everywhere.

2001-12-23  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (ConvertIntLiteral): finished the implementation.

        * statement.cs (SwitchLabel): Convert the value we are using as a
        key before looking up the table.

2001-12-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * codegen.cs (EmitTopBlock): Require a Location argument now.

        * cs-parser.jay (constructor_declarator): We need to setup
        current_local_parameters before we parse the
        opt_constructor_initializer, to allow the variables to be bound
        to the constructor arguments.

        * rootcontext.cs (LookupType): First lookup nested classes in our
        class and our parents before we go looking outside our class.

        * expression.cs (ConstantFold): Extract/debox the values at the
        beginnning. 

        * rootcontext.cs (EmitCode): Resolve the constants first before we
        resolve the types.  This is not really needed, but it helps debugging.

        * statement.cs: report location.

        * cs-parser.jay: pass location to throw statement.

        * driver.cs: Small bug fix.

        * report.cs: Updated format to be 4-zero filled digits.

2001-12-22  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (CheckIndices): Fix minor bug where the wrong
        variable was being referred to ;-)

        (DoEmit): Do not call EmitStaticInitializers when the 
        underlying type is System.Object.

2001-12-21  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (EventExpr.Resolve): Implement to correctly set the type
        and do the usual workaround for SRE.

        * class.cs (MyEventBuilder.EventType): New member to get at the type
        of the event, quickly.

        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): Handle delegate addition.

        * assign.cs (Assign.DoResolve): Handle the case when the target
        is an EventExpr and perform the necessary checks.

        * ecore.cs (EventExpr.EmitAssign): Implement the IAssignMethod
        interface.

        (SimpleName.MemberStaticCheck): Include check for EventExpr.

        (EventExpr): Set the type in the constructor itself since we 
        are meant to be born fully resolved.

        (EventExpr.Define): Revert code I wrote earlier.
                
        * delegate.cs (NewDelegate.Resolve): Handle the case when the MethodGroup's
        instance expression is null. The instance expression is a This in that case
        or a null, depending on whether it is a static method or not.

        Also flag an error if the reference to a method is ambiguous i.e the MethodGroupExpr
        refers to more than one method.

        * assign.cs (DoResolve): Check whether the event belongs to the same Type container
        and accordingly flag errors.

2001-12-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Throw.Emit): Add support for re-throwing exceptions.

2001-12-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * location.cs (ToString): Provide useful rutine.

2001-12-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (Expression.ConvertIntLiteral): Do not return Constant
        objects, return the actual integral boxed.

        * statement.cs (SwitchLabel): define an ILLabel for each
        SwitchLabel. 

        (Switch.CheckSwitch): If the value is a Literal, extract
        the underlying literal.

        Also in the unused hashtable we had, add the SwitchLabel so we can
        quickly look this value up.

        * constant.cs: Implement a bunch of new constants.  Rewrite
        Literal based on this.  Made changes everywhere to adapt to this.

        * expression.cs (Expression.MakeByteBlob): Optimize routine by
        dereferencing array only once, and also copes with enumrations.

        bytes are two bytes wide, not one.

        (Cast): Perform constant conversions.

        * ecore.cs (TryImplicitIntConversion): Return literals instead of
        wrappers to the literals here.

        * expression.cs (DoNumericPromotions): long literals can converted
        to ulong implicity (this is taken care of elsewhere, but I was
        missing this spot).

        * ecore.cs (Expression.Literalize): Make the return type Literal,
        to improve type checking.

        * rootcontext.cs: Lookup for nested classes in our class hierarchy.

2001-12-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * literal.cs: Revert code from ravi that checked the bounds.  The
        bounds are sane by the definition of the type itself. 

        * typemanager.cs: Fix implementation of ImplementsInterface.  We
        need to actually look up in our parent hierarchy for interfaces
        implemented. 

        * const.cs: Use the underlying type for enumerations

        * delegate.cs: Compute the basename for the delegate creation,
        that should fix the delegate test case, and restore the correct
        Type Lookup semantics in rootcontext

        * rootcontext.cs: Revert Ravi's last patch.  The correct way of
        referencing a nested type with the Reflection API is using the "+"
        sign. 

        * cs-parser.jay: Do not require EOF token at the end.

2001-12-20  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * rootcontext.cs (LookupType): Concatenate type names with
        a '.' instead of a '+' The test suite passes again.

        * enum.cs (Enum.DefineEnum): Set RTSpecialName on the 'value__'
        field of the enumeration.

        * expression.cs (MemberAccess.ResolveMemberAccess): Add support for
        the case when the member is an EventExpr.

        * ecore.cs (EventExpr.InstanceExpression): Every event which is not
        static has an associated instance expression.

        * typemanager.cs (RegisterEvent): The usual workaround, now for events.

        (GetAddMethod, GetRemoveMethod): Workarounds, as usual.

        * class.cs (Event.Define): Register event and perform appropriate checks
        for error #111.

        We define the Add and Remove methods even if the use provides none because
        in that case, we provide default implementations ourselves.

        Define a private field of the type of the event. This is done by the CSC compiler
        and we should be doing it too ;-)

        * typemanager.cs (delegate_combine_delegate_delegate, delegate_remove_delegate_delegate):
        More methods we use in code we generate.

        (multicast_delegate_type, delegate_type): Two separate types since the distinction
        is important.

        (InitCoreTypes): Update accordingly for the above.

        * class.cs (Event.Emit): Generate code for default accessors that we provide

        (EmitDefaultMethod): Do the job in the above.

        * delegate.cs (DefineDelegate): Use TypeManager.multicast_delegate_type in the 
        appropriate place.

2001-12-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Indexer.Define): Fix bug, we were setting both Get/Set
        builders even if we were missing one.

        * interface.cs, class.cs, enum.cs: When calling DefineNestedType
        pass the Basename as our class name instead of the Name.  The
        basename will be correctly composed for us.

        * parameter.cs (Paramters): Now takes a Location argument.

        * decl.cs (DeclSpace.LookupType): Removed convenience function and
        make all the code call directly LookupType in RootContext and take
        this chance to pass the Location information everywhere.

        * Everywhere: pass Location information.

2001-12-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Constructor.Define): Updated way of detecting the
        length of the parameters.

        (TypeContainer.DefineType): Use basename as the type name for
        nested types.

        (TypeContainer.Define): Do not recursively define types here, as
        definition is taken care in order by the RootContext.

        * tree.cs: Keep track of namespaces in a per-file basis.

        * parameter.cs (Parameter.ComputeSignature): Update to use
        DeclSpace. 

        (Parameters.GetSignature): ditto.

        * interface.cs (InterfaceMethod.GetSignature): Take a DeclSpace
        instead of a TypeContainer.

        (Interface.SemanticAnalysis): Use `this' instead of our parent to
        resolve names.  Because we need to be resolve in our context, not
        our parents.

        * driver.cs: Implement response files.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.DefineType): If we are defined, do not
        redefine ourselves.

        (Event.Emit): Emit the code for add/remove handlers.
        (Event.Define): Save the MethodBuilders for add/remove.

        * typemanager.cs: Use pair here too.

        * cs-parser.jay: Replaced use of DictionaryEntry for Pair because
        DictionaryEntry requires the first argument to be non-null.  

        (enum_declaration): Compute full name for registering the
        enumeration.

        (delegate_declaration): Instead of using
        formal_parameter_list, use opt_formal_parameter_list as the list
        can be empty.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (PropertyParsing): renamed from `properties'
        (EventParsing): New property that controls whether `add' and
        `remove' are returned as tokens or identifiers (for events);

2001-12-19  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Event.Define): Revamp use of EventBuilder completely. We now
        use MyEventBuilder only and let it wrap the real builder for us.

        (MyEventBuilder): Revamp constructor etc.

        Implement all operations that we perform on EventBuilder in precisely the same
        way here too.

        (FindMembers): Update to use the EventBuilder member.

        (Event.Emit): Update accordingly.

2001-12-18  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (MyEventBuilder.Set*): Chain to the underlying builder
        by calling the appropriate methods.

        (GetCustomAttributes): Make stubs as they cannot possibly do anything
        useful.

        (Event.Emit): Use MyEventBuilder everywhere - even to set attributes.

2001-12-17  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * delegate.cs (Delegate.Populate): Check that the return type
        and various parameters types are indeed accessible.

        * class.cs (Constructor.Define): Same here.

        (Field.Define): Ditto.

        (Event.Define): Ditto.

        (Operator.Define): Check that the underlying Method defined itself
        correctly - so it's MethodBuilder should not be null.

        * delegate.cs (DelegateInvocation.DoResolve): Bale out if the type of the Instance
        expression happens to be null.

        * class.cs (MyEventBuilder): Workaround for SRE lameness. Implement various abstract
        members but as of now we don't seem to be able to do anything really useful with it.

        (FindMembers): Handle events separately by returning the MyEventBuilder of the event,
        not the EventBuilder.

2001-12-18  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Add support for defines.
        Add support for #if, #elif, #else, #endif

        (eval_var): evaluates a variable.
        (eval): stubbed for evaluating functions.

        * cs-parser.jay: Pass the defines information

        * driver.cs: Add --define command line option.

        * decl.cs: Move MemberCore here.

        Make it the base class for DeclSpace.  This allows us to catch and
        report 108 and 109 for everything now.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.Define): Extract all the members
        before populating and emit the warning 108 (new keyword required
        to override) instead of having each member implement this.

        (MemberCore.Define): New abstract method, we will be using this in
        the warning reporting engine in Populate.

        (Operator.Define): Adjust to new MemberCore protocol. 

        * const.cs (Const): This does not derive from Expression, it is a
        temporary object we use to create fields, it is a MemberCore. 

        * class.cs (Method.Define): Allow the entry point to be in a
        specific class.

        * driver.cs: Rewrite the argument handler to clean it up a bit.

        * rootcontext.cs: Made it just an auxiliary namespace feature by
        making everything static.

        * driver.cs: Adapt code to use RootContext type name instead of
        instance variable.

        * delegate.cs: Remove RootContext argument.

        * class.cs: (Struct, TypeContainer, Class): Remove RootContext
        argument. 

        * class.cs (Event.Define): The lookup can fail.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Begin implementation of pre-procesor. 

        * expression.cs: Resolve the this instance before invoking the code.

2001-12-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Add a production in element_access that allows
        the thing to become a "type" reference.  This way we can parse
        things like "(string [])" as a type.

        Note that this still does not handle the more complex rules of
        casts. 


        * delegate.cs (Delegate.Populate): Register the delegage constructor builder here. 

        * ecore.cs: (CopyNewMethods): new utility function used to
        assemble the list of methods from running FindMembers.

        (MemberLookup): Rework FindMembers so that 

2001-12-16  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer): Remove Delegates who fail to be
        defined.

        * delegate.cs (Populate): Verify that we dont get null return
        values.   TODO: Check for AsAccessible.

        * cs-parser.jay: Use basename to emit error 574 (destructor should
        have the same name as container class), not the full name.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (adjust_int): Fit the integer in the best
        possible representation.  

        Also implements integer type suffixes U and L.

2001-12-15  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (ArrayCreation.DoResolve): We need to do the
        argument resolution *always*.

        * decl.cs: Make this hold the namespace.  Hold the root context as
        well.
        (LookupType): Move here.

        * enum.cs, class.cs, interface.cs: Adapt to new hierarchy.

        * location.cs (Row, Name): Fixed the code, it was always returning
        references to the first file.

        * interface.cs: Register properties defined through interfaces.

        * driver.cs: Add support for globbing on the command line

        * class.cs (Field): Make it derive from MemberCore as well.
        (Event): ditto.

2001-12-15  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Event::Define): Check that the type of the event is a delegate
        type else flag error #66.

        Also, re-use TypeContainer.MethodModifiersValid here too as the rules are the
        same.

        * attribute.cs (DefinePInvokeMethod): Handle named arguments and process
        values of EntryPoint, CharSet etc etc.

        Pass in the values to TypeBuilder.DefinePInvokeMethod; determine Type etc neatly.

        * class.cs (FindMembers): If a method is in transit, its MethodBuilder will
        be null and we should ignore this. I am not sure if this is really clean. Apparently,
        there's no way of avoiding hitting this because the call is coming from SimpleName.DoResolve,
        which needs this to do its work.

        * ../errors/cs0066.cs : Add.

2001-12-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs: (GetPropertyGetter, GetPropertyGetter): New
        helper functions.

        * class.cs: (MethodSignature.MethodSignature): Removed hack that
        clears out the parameters field.
        (MemberSignatureCompare): Cleanup

        (MemberCore): New base class used to share code between MethodCore
        and Property.

        (RegisterRequiredImplementations) BindingFlags.Public requires
        either BindingFlags.Instace or Static.  Use instance here.

        (Property): Refactored code to cope better with the full spec.

        * parameter.cs (GetParameterInfo): Return an empty array instead
        of null on error.

        * class.cs (Property): Abstract or extern properties have no bodies.

        * parameter.cs (GetParameterInfo): return a zero-sized array.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.MethodModifiersValid): Move all the
        method modifier validation to the typecontainer so we can reuse
        this on properties.

        (MethodCore.ParameterTypes): return an empty sized array of types.

        (Property.Define): Test property modifier validity.

        Add tests for sealed/override too.

        (Method.Emit): abstract or extern methods have no bodies.

2001-12-14  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Method.IsPInvoke): Get rid of it as it is an expensive
        thing.

        (Method::Define, ::Emit): Modify accordingly.

        * expression.cs (Invocation::OverloadResolve): Handle error # 121.

        (ArrayCreation::MakeByteBlob): Handle floats and doubles.

        * makefile: Pass in /unsafe.

2001-12-13  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (MakeKey): Kill routine.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.Define): Correctly define explicit
        method implementations (they require the full interface name plus
        the method name).

        * typemanager.cs: Deply the PtrHashtable here and stop using the
        lame keys.  Things work so much better.

        This of course broke everyone who depended on `RegisterMethod' to
        do the `test for existance' test.  This has to be done elsewhere.

        * support.cs (PtrHashtable): A hashtable that avoid comparing with
        the object stupid Equals method (because, that like fails all over
        the place).  We still do not use it.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.SetRequiredInterface,
        TypeContainer.RequireMethods): Killed these two routines and moved
        all the functionality to RegisterRequiredImplementations.

        (TypeContainer.RegisterRequiredImplementations): This routine now
        registers all the implementations required in an array for the
        interfaces and abstract methods.  We use an array of structures
        which can be computed ahead of time to reduce memory usage and we
        also assume that lookups are cheap as most classes will not
        implement too many interfaces.

        We also avoid creating too many MethodSignatures.

        (TypeContainer.IsInterfaceMethod): Update and optionally does not
        clear the "pending" bit if we find that there are problems with
        the declaration.

        (TypeContainer.VerifyPendingMethods): Update to report errors of
        methods that look like implementations but are not.

        (TypeContainer.Define): Add support for explicit interface method
        implementation. 

2001-12-12  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs: Keep track of the parameters here instead of
        being a feature of the TypeContainer.

        * class.cs: Drop the registration of parameters here, as
        InterfaceMethods are also interface declarations.

        * delegate.cs: Register methods with the TypeManager not only with
        the TypeContainer.  This code was buggy.

        * interface.cs: Full registation here.

2001-12-11  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs: Remove reducer for binary expressions, it can not
        be done this way.

        * const.cs: Put here the code that used to go into constant.cs

        * constant.cs: Put here the code for constants, this is a new base
        class for Literals.

        * literal.cs: Make Literal derive from Constant.

2001-12-09  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Return.Emit): Report error 157 if the user
        attempts to return from a finally block.

        (Return.Emit): Instead of emitting a return, jump to the end of
        the function.

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext): ReturnValue, ReturnLabel: new
        LocalBuilder to store the result of the function.  ReturnLabel is
        the target where we jump.


2001-12-09  Radek Doulik  <rodo@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: remember alias in current namespace

        * ecore.cs (SimpleName::DoResolve): use aliases for types or
        namespaces

        * class.cs (LookupAlias): lookup alias in my_namespace

        * namespace.cs (UsingAlias): add alias, namespace_or_type pair to
        aliases hashtable
        (LookupAlias): lookup alias in this and if needed in parent
        namespaces

2001-12-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * support.cs: 

        * rootcontext.cs: (ModuleBuilder) Made static, first step into
        making things static.  I need this to avoid passing the
        TypeContainer when calling ParameterType.

        * support.cs (InternalParameters.ParameterType): Remove ugly hack
        that did string manipulation to compute the type and then call
        GetType.  Use Parameter.ParameterType instead.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Consume the suffix for floating values.

        * expression.cs (ParameterReference): figure out whether this is a
        reference parameter or not.  Kill an extra variable by computing
        the arg_idx during emission.

        * parameter.cs (Parameters.GetParameterInfo): New overloaded
        function that returns whether a parameter is an out/ref value or not.

        (Parameter.ParameterType): The type of the parameter (base,
        without ref/out applied).

        (Parameter.Resolve): Perform resolution here.
        (Parameter.ExternalType): The full type (with ref/out applied).

        * statement.cs (Using.Emit, Using.EmitExpression): Implement
        support for expressions on the using statement.

2001-12-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Using.EmitLocalVariableDecls): Split the
        localvariable handling of the using statement.

        (Block.EmitMeta): Keep track of variable count across blocks.  We
        were reusing slots on separate branches of blocks.

        (Try.Emit): Emit the general code block, we were not emitting it. 

        Check the type of the declaration to be an IDisposable or
        something that can be implicity converted to it. 

        Emit conversions if required.

        * ecore.cs (EmptyExpression): New utility class.
        (Expression.ImplicitConversionExists): New utility function.

2001-12-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Using): Implement.

        * expression.cs (LocalVariableReference): Support read only variables.

        * statement.cs: Remove the explicit emit for the Leave opcode.
        (VariableInfo): Add a readonly field.

2001-12-05  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ecore.cs (ConvCast): new class used to encapsulate the various
        explicit integer conversions that works in both checked and
        unchecked contexts.

        (Expression.ConvertNumericExplicit): Use new ConvCast class to
        properly generate the overflow opcodes.

2001-12-04  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs: The correct type for the EmptyExpression is the
        element_type, not the variable type.  Ravi pointed this out.

2001-12-04  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Method::Define): Handle PInvoke methods specially
        by using DefinePInvokeMethod instead of the usual one.

        * attribute.cs (DefinePInvokeMethod): Implement as this is what is called
        above to do the task of extracting information and defining the method.

2001-12-04  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (ArrayCreation::EmitStaticInitializers): Get rid
        of the condition for string type.

        (Emit): Move that here. 

        (ArrayCreation::CheckIndices): Keep string literals in their expression
        form.

        (EmitDynamicInitializers): Handle strings appropriately.

2001-12-04  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (GotoDefault, Switch): Adjust to cleaned up
        EmitContext.

2001-12-03  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs 

        * statement.cs (GotoDefault), cs-parser.jay: Implement `goto
        default'.

        (Foreach.Emit): Foreach on arrays was not setting
        up the loop variables (for break/continue).

        (GotoCase): Semi-implented.

2001-12-03  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs (CheckAttribute): Handle system attributes by using
        Attribute.GetAttributes to examine information we need.

        (GetValidPlaces): Same here.

        * class.cs (Method::Define): Catch invalid use of extern and abstract together.

        (Method::Define): Set appropriate flags if we have a DllImport attribute.

        (Method::Emit): Handle the case when we are a PInvoke method.

        * expression.cs: Use ResolveWithSimpleName on compound names.

2001-12-02  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * constant.cs (EmitConstant): Make sure we resolve the associated expression
        before trying to reduce it.

        * typemanager.cs (RegisterConstant, LookupConstant): Implement.

        * constant.cs (LookupConstantValue): Implement.

        (EmitConstant): Use the above in emitting the constant.

        * expression.cs (MemberAccess::ResolveMemberAccess): Handle constants
        that are user-defined by doing a LookupConstantValue on them.

        (SimpleName::DoResolve): When we have a FieldExpr, cope with constants
        too, like above.

2001-11-29  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        (BaseAccess.DoResolve): Implement.

        (MemberAccess.DoResolve): Split this routine into a
        ResolveMemberAccess routine that can be used independently

2001-11-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Probe, Is, As): Split Probe in two classes Is and
        As that share bits of the implementation.  Is returns a boolean,
        while As returns the Type that is being probed.

2001-12-01  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * enum.cs (LookupEnumValue): Re-write various bits, return an object value
        instead of a Literal - much easier.

        (EnumInTransit): Remove - utterly useless :-)

        (Populate): Re-write bits - remove duplicate code etc. The code is much neater now.

        * expression.cs (MemberLookup): Cope with user-defined enums when they are in transit.

        * enum.cs (LookupEnumValue): Auto-compute next values by going down the dependency
        chain when we have no associated expression.

2001-11-30  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * constant.cs (Define): Use Location while reporting the errror.

        Also emit a warning when 'new' is used and there is no inherited
        member to hide.

        * enum.cs (EnumInTransit): Used to tell if an enum type is in the process of being 
        populated.

        (LookupEnumValue): Implement to lookup an enum member's value and define it
        if necessary.

        (Populate): Re-write accordingly to use the above routine.

2001-11-27  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        declarations) 

        * ecore.cs (FieldExpr.EmitAssign): Handle value types specially
        (we need to load the address of the field here).  This fixes
        test-22. 

        (FieldExpr.DoResolveLValue): Call the DoResolve
        function to initialize the Instance expression.

        * statement.cs (Foreach.Emit): Fix the bug where we did not invoke
        correctly the GetEnumerator operation on a value type.

        * cs-parser.jay: Add more simple parsing error catches.

        by an instance reference.

        * cs-parser.jay (local_constant_declaration): Implement.

        (declaration_statement): Implement for constant declarations.

2001-11-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (Switch): Catch double defaults.

        (Switch): More work on the switch() statement
        implementation.  It works for integral values now, need to finish
        string support.

        * ecore.cs (Expression.ConvertIntLiteral): New function to convert
        integer literals into other integer literals.  To be used by
        switch. 

2001-11-24  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (ArrayCreation): Get rid of ArrayExprs : we save
        some memory.

        (EmitDynamicInitializers): Cope with the above since we extract data
        directly from ArrayData now.

        (ExpectInitializers): Keep track of whether initializers are mandatory
        or not.

        (Bounds): Make it a hashtable to prevent the same dimension being 
        recorded for every element in that dimension.

        (EmitDynamicInitializers): Fix bug which prevented the Set array method
        from being found.

        Also fix bug which was causing the indices to be emitted in the reverse
        order.

2001-11-24  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (ArrayCreation): Implement the bits that Ravi left
        unfinished.  They do not work, because the underlying code is
        sloppy.

2001-11-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Remove bogus fixme.

        * statement.cs (Switch, SwitchSection, SwithLabel): Started work
        on Switch statement.

2001-11-23  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (IsDelegateType, IsEnumType): Fix logic to determine
        the same. 

        * expression.cs (ArrayCreation::CheckIndices): Get rid of the require_constant
        parameter. Apparently, any expression is allowed. 

        (ValidateInitializers): Update accordingly.

        (CheckIndices): Fix some tricky bugs thanks to recursion.

        * delegate.cs (NewDelegate::DoResolve): Re-write large portions as 
        I was being completely brain-dead.

        (VerifyMethod, VerifyApplicability, VerifyDelegate): Make static
        and re-write acordingly.

        (DelegateInvocation): Re-write accordingly.

        * expression.cs (ArrayCreation::Emit): Handle string initialization separately.

        (MakeByteBlob): Handle types more correctly.

        * expression.cs (ArrayCreation:Emit): Write preliminary code to do
        initialization from expressions but it is incomplete because I am a complete
        Dodo :-|

2001-11-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs (If.Emit): Fix a bug that generated incorrect code
        on If.  Basically, we have to return `true' (ie, we do return to
        our caller) only if both branches of the if return.

        * expression.cs (Binary.Emit): LogicalOr and LogicalAnd are
        short-circuit operators, handle them as short circuit operators. 

        (Cast.DoResolve): Resolve type.
        (Cast.Cast): Take an expression as the target type.

        * cs-parser.jay (cast_expression): Remove old hack that only
        allowed a limited set of types to be handled.  Now we take a
        unary_expression and we resolve to a type during semantic
        analysis.

        Use the grammar productions from Rhys to handle casts (this is
        not complete like Rhys syntax yet, we fail to handle that corner
        case that C# has regarding (-x), but we will get there.

2001-11-22  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (EmitFieldInitializer): Take care of the case when we have a
        field which is an array type.

        * cs-parser.jay (declare_local_variables): Support array initialization too.

        * typemanager.cs (MakeKey): Implement.

        (everywhere): Use the above appropriately.

        * cs-parser.jay (for_statement): Update for array initialization while
        declaring variables.

        * ecore.cs : The error message was correct, it's the variable's names that
        were misleading ;-) Make the code more readable.

        (MemberAccess::DoResolve): Fix the code which handles Enum literals to set
        the correct type etc.

        (ConvertExplicit): Handle Enum types by examining the underlying type.

2001-11-21  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * parameter.cs (GetCallingConvention): Always return
        CallingConventions.Standard for now.

2001-11-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Binary.ResolveOperator): Update the values of `l'
        and `r' after calling DoNumericPromotions.

        * ecore.cs: Fix error message (the types were in the wrong order).

        * statement.cs (Foreach.ProbeCollectionType): Need to pass
        BindingFlags.Instance as well 

        * ecore.cs (Expression.TryImplicitIntConversion): Wrap the result
        implicit int literal conversion in an empty cast so that we
        propagate the right type upstream.

        (UnboxCast): new class used to unbox value types.
        (Expression.ConvertExplicit): Add explicit type conversions done
        by unboxing.

        (Expression.ImplicitNumericConversion): Oops, forgot to test for
        the target type before applying the implicit LongLiterals to ULong
        literal cast.

2001-11-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay (for_statement): Reworked the way For works: now
        we declare manually any variables that are introduced in
        for_initializer to solve the problem of having out-of-band code
        emition (that is what got for broken).

        (declaration_statement): Perform the actual variable declaration
        that used to be done in local_variable_declaration here.

        (local_variable_declaration): Do not declare anything, just pass
        the information on a DictionaryEntry

        DictionaryEntry since we need location info too.

        (constant_declaration): Update accordingly.

        * expression.cs (ArrayCreation): Make ValidateInitializers simpler by factoring
        code into another method : UpdateIndices.

        we can use this elsewhere.

        * statement.cs: Finish implementation of foreach for single
        dimension arrays.

        * cs-parser.jay: Use an out-of-band stack to pass information
        around, I wonder why I need this.

        foreach_block: Make the new foreach_block the current_block.

        * parameter.cs (Parameters.GetEmptyReadOnlyParameters): New
        function used to return a static Parameters structure.  Used for

2001-11-15  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * interface.cs : Default modifier is private, not public. The
        make verify test passes again.

2001-11-15  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * support.cs (ReflectionParameters): Fix logic to determine
        whether the last parameter is a params one. Test 9 passes again.

        * cs-parser.jay (property_declaration): Reference $6 instead
        of $$ to get at the location.

        (indexer_declaration): Similar stuff.

        (attribute): Ditto.

        * class.cs (Property): Register parameters for the Get and Set methods
        if they exist. Test 23 passes again.

        * expression.cs (ArrayCreation::Emit): Pass null for the method in the

        Test 32 passes again.

        * suppor.cs (ParameterDesc, ParameterModifier): Fix trivial bug causing
        IndexOutOfRangeException.

        broke a bunch of things.  Will have to come up with a better way
        of tracking locations.

        * statement.cs: Implemented foreach for single dimension arrays.

2001-11-09  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * enum.cs (Enum.Emit): Delay the lookup of loc until we run into
        an error.  This removes the lookup from the critical path.

        * cs-parser.jay: Removed use of temporary_loc, which is completely
        broken. 

2001-11-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        whether the argument is a PARAMS argument or not.

        and cons_param_array_attribute (ConstructorInfo for
        ParamArrayAttribute)., 

        * codegen.cs: Emit the return using the `Return' statement, that
        way we can report the error correctly for missing return values. 

        * class.cs (Method.Emit): Clean up.

        * expression.cs (Argument.Resolve): Take another argument: the
        location where this argument is used.  Notice that this is not
        part of the "Argument" class as to reduce the size of the
        structure (we know the approximate location anyways).

        Test if the argument is a variable-reference, if not, then
        complain with a 206.

        (Argument.Emit): Emit addresses of variables.

        (Argument.FullDesc): Simplify.

        (Invocation.DoResolve): Update for Argument.Resolve.

        (ElementAccess.DoResolve): ditto.

        * delegate.cs (DelegateInvocation.Emit): Invocation of Invoke
        method should be virtual, as this method is always virtual.

        * class.cs (ConstructorInitializer.DoResolve): ditto.

        * attribute.cs (Attribute.Resolve): ditto.

        IAssignMethod instead. 

2001-11-13  Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>

        * parameter.cs, expression.cs, class.cs, ecore.cs: Made all
        enumerations that are used in heavily used structures derive from
        byte in a laughable and pathetic attempt to reduce memory usage.
        This is the kind of pre-optimzations that you should not do at
        home without adult supervision.

        * expression.cs (UnaryMutator): New class, used to handle ++ and
        -- separatedly from the other unary operators.  Cleans up the
        code, and kills the ExpressionStatement dependency in Unary.

        (Unary): Removed `method' and `Arguments' from this class, making
        it smaller, and moving it all to SimpleCall, so I can reuse this
        code in other locations and avoid creating a lot of transient data
        strucutres when not required.

        * cs-parser.jay: Adjust for new changes.

2001-11-11  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * enum.cs (Enum.Populate): If there is a failure during
        definition, return

        * cs-parser.jay (opt_enum_base): we used to catch type errors
        here, but this is really incorrect.  The type error should be
        catched during semantic analysis.

        * cs-parser.jay (operator_declarator, conversion_operator_declarator): Set
        current_local_parameters as expected since I, in my stupidity, had forgotten

        we expect it to do and when exactly it is called.

        * class.cs, rootcontext.cs : Update accordingly.

        * typemanager.cs (RegisterField, GetValue): Workarounds for the fact that
        FieldInfo.GetValue does not work on dynamic types ! S.R.E lameness strikes again !

        * enum.cs (Populate): Register fields with TypeManager.RegisterField.

        * expression.cs (MemberAccess.DoResolve): Adjust code to obtain the value
        of a fieldinfo using the above, when dealing with a FieldBuilder.

        This fixes the infinite loop on for initializers.

        * enum.cs (Emit): Ditto.

        * rootcontext.cs (ResolveTree, EmitCode, CloseTypes): Do the same for
        Enums too.

        * class.cs (Field, Event, etc.): Move attribute generation into the
        Emit method everywhere.

        * enum.cs (Enum): Revamp to use the same definition semantics as delegates so
        we have a DefineEnum, CloseEnum etc. The previous way of doing things was not right
        as we had no way of defining nested enums !

        * rootcontext.cs : Adjust code accordingly.

        * typemanager.cs (AddEnumType): To keep track of enum types separately.

2001-11-07  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (EvalConstantExpression): Move into ecore.cs

        * enum.cs (Enum): Rename some members and make them public and readonly
        according to our convention.

        * modifiers.cs (EnumAttr): Implement as we need to set only visibility flags,
        nothing else.

        * enum.cs (Enum::Define): Use the above instead of TypeAttr.

        (Enum::Emit): Write a simple version for now which doesn't try to compute

        (TypeContainer::CloseType): Create the Enum types too.

        * attribute.cs (Resolve): Use the new Reduce method instead of EvalConstantExpression.

        promotion was possible.

        (ArrayAccess.DoResolve, ArrayAccess.Emit, ArrayAccess.EmitAssign):
        Implement.  

        Made the ArrayAccess implement interface IAssignMethod instead of
        IStackStore as the order in which arguments are passed reflects
        this.

        * assign.cs: Instead of using expr.ExprClass to select the way of
        assinging, probe for the IStackStore/IAssignMethod interfaces.

        * typemanager.cs: Load InitializeArray definition.

        targets, and optimize for !x.

2001-11-04  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * attribute.cs (Attribute::Resolve): Implement guts. Note that resolution

        set custom atttributes.

        * literal.cs (Literal::GetValue): New abstract method to return the actual
        value of the literal, cast as an object.

        (*Literal): Implement GetValue method.

        (Invocation::OverloadResolve): Update to use the above method and therefore
        cope correctly with params method invocations.

        * support.cs (InternalParameters::ParameterDesc): Provide a desc for 
        params too.

        * class.cs (ConstructorInitializer::Resolve): Make sure we look for Non-public
        constructors in our parent too because we can't afford to miss out on 
        protected ones ;-)

        * attribute.cs (AttributeSection): New name for the class Attribute

        Other trivial changes to improve readability.

        * cs-parser.jay (opt_attributes, attribute_section etc.): Modify to

        local_variable_type to extract the string corresponding to the type.

        (local_variable_type): Fixup the action to use the new helper method.

        * codegen.cs : Get rid of RefOrOutParameter, it's not the right way to 
        go.

        * expression.cs : Clean out code which uses the above.

2001-10-31  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (RegisterMethod): Check if we already have an existing key
        and bale out if necessary by returning a false.

        (RegisterProperty): Ditto.

        * class.cs (everywhere): Check the return value from TypeManager.RegisterMethod
        and print out appropriate error messages.

        Parameter.Modifier and not a string.

        (ReflectionParameters, InternalParameters): Update accordingly.

        * expression.cs (Argument::GetParameterModifier): Same here.

        * support.cs (InternalParameters::ParameterType): Find a better way of determining
        if we are a ref/out parameter. Actually, the type shouldn't be holding the '&'
        symbol in it at all so maybe this is only for now.

2001-10-30  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * support.cs (InternalParameters): Constructor now takes an extra argument 
        which is the actual Parameters class.

2001-10-29  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (NewArray): Merge classes NewBuiltinArray and 
        NewUserdefinedArray into one as there wasn't much of a use in having
        two separate ones.

        * expression.cs (Argument): Change field's name to ArgType from Type.

        (Type): New readonly property which returns the proper type, taking into 
        account ref/out modifiers.

2001-10-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Invocation::DoResolve): Catch SimpleNames that

        and accordingly override EmitStatement.

        * expression.cs (ConvertReferenceExplicit): Re-write similary, this time
        using the correct logic :-)

        loop and end of the loop).

2001-10-15  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * delegate.cs (Emit): Get rid of it as there doesn't seem to be any ostensible
        use of emitting anything at all.

        * delegate.cs (ReturnType, Name): Rename members to these. Make them 
        readonly.

        (DefineDelegate): Renamed from Define. Does the same thing essentially,
        as TypeContainer::DefineType.

        (Populate): Method in which all the definition of the various methods (Invoke)
        etc is done.

        (Emit): Emit any code, if necessary. I am not sure about this really, but let's
        see.

        (CloseDelegate): Finally creates the delegate.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer::DefineType): Update to define delegates.

        (This::Store): Remove warning, assigning to `this' in structures
        is 

        (Invocation::Emit): Deal with invocation of
        methods on value types.  We need to pass the address to structure
        methods rather than the object itself.  (The equivalent code to
        emit "this" for structures leaves the entire structure on the
        stack instead of a pointer to it). 

        (ParameterReference::DoResolve): Compute the real index for the
        argument based on whether the method takes or not a `this' pointer
        (ie, the method is static).

        value types returned from functions when we need to invoke a

        * class.cs (TypeContainer::DefineType): Method to actually do the business of
        defining the type in the Modulebuilder or Typebuilder. This is to take
        care of nested types which need to be defined on the TypeBuilder using
        DefineNestedMethod.

        (TypeContainer::GetClassBases): Implement. Essentially the code from the 
        methods in RootContext, only ported to be part of TypeContainer.

        (TypeContainer::GetInterfaceOrClass): Ditto.

        (TypeContainer::LookupInterfaceOrClass, ::MakeFQN): Ditto.

        * interface.cs (Interface::DefineInterface): New method. Does exactly

        instead just use the name argument passed in as it is already fully
        qualified.

        (FindMembers): Check in the Builders to TypeContainer mapping instead of the name
        to TypeContainer mapping to see if a type is user-defined.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer::CloseType): Implement. 

        (TypeContainer::DefineDefaultConstructor): Use Basename, not Name while creating
        the default constructor.

        twice.

        (Constructor::IsDefault): Fix up logic to determine if it is the default constructor

        * interface.cs (CloseType): Create the type here.

        * rootcontext.cs (CloseTypes): Re-write to recursively close types by running through
        the hierarchy.

        Remove all the methods which are now in TypeContainer.

2001-10-10  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * delegate.cs (Define): Re-write bits to define the delegate
        correctly.

        as a source to convert to any reference type.

        * statement.cs (Return): Perform any implicit conversions to
        expected return type.  

        Validate use of return statement.  

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext): Pass the expected return type here.

        * class.cs (Method, Constructor, Property): Pass expected return
        type to EmitContext.

2001-10-09  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs: Make DoResolve take an EmitContext instead of a

        * assign.cs, literal.cs, constant.cs: Update to new calling
        convention. 

        * codegen.cs: EmitContext now contains a flag indicating whether
        code is being generated in a static method or not.

        * cs-parser.jay: DecomposeQI, new function that replaces the old
        QualifiedIdentifier.  Now we always decompose the assembled
        strings from qualified_identifier productions into a group of
        memberaccesses.

2001-10-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * rootcontext.cs: Deal with field-less struct types correctly now
        by passing the size option to Define Type.

        * class.cs: Removed hack that created one static field. 

2001-10-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

2001-10-09  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (New::DoResolve): Revert changes for array creation, doesn't
        seem very right.

        says.

2001-10-08  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (ElementAccess::DoResolve): Remove my crap code
        and start performing checks according to the spec.

2001-10-07  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay (type_suffix*): Remove - they are redundant. Use

2001-10-06  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (ConvertExplicitStandard): Add. Same as ConvertExplicit
        except that user defined conversions are not included.

        (UserDefinedConversion): Update to use the ConvertExplicitStandard to 
        perform the conversion of the return type, if necessary.

        (New::DoResolve): Check whether we are creating an array or an object
        and accordingly do the needful.

        (New::Emit): Same here.

        (New::FormLookupType): Helper function.

2001-10-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        corresponding code generation bits to the statement classes. 

        Added support for try/catch/finalize and throw.

        * cs-parser.jay: Added support for try/catch/finalize.

        * class.cs: Catch static methods having the flags override,
        virtual or abstract.

        * expression.cs (UserCast): This user cast was not really doing
        what it was supposed to do.  Which is to be born in fully resolved
        state.  Parts of the resolution were being performed at Emit time! 

        Fixed this code.

2001-10-05  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs: Implicity convert the result from UserCast.

        and not per-instance.  

        * class.cs: Make static FindMembers (the one that takes a Type
        argument). 

        * codegen.cs: Add EmitForeach here.

        * cs-parser.jay: Make foreach a toplevel object instead of the
        inline expansion, as we need to perform semantic analysis on it. 

2001-10-05  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Expression::ImplicitUserConversion): Rename to
        UserDefinedConversion.

        (Expression::UserDefinedConversion): Take an extra argument specifying 
        whether we look for explicit user conversions too.

        (Expression::ImplicitUserConversion): Make it a call to UserDefinedConversion.

        (UserDefinedConversion): Incorporate support for user defined explicit conversions.

        (ExplicitUserConversion): Make it a call to UserDefinedConversion
        with the appropriate arguments.

        * cs-parser.jay (cast_expression): Record location too.

        * expression.cs (Cast): Record location info.

        (Expression::ConvertExplicit): Take location argument.

        to determine if we are doing explicit conversions.

        (UserCast::Emit): Update accordingly.

        (Expression::ConvertExplicit): Report an error if everything fails.

        * ../errors/cs0030.cs : Add.

2001-10-04  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * modifiers.cs: If the ABSTRACT keyword is present, also set the
        virtual and newslot bits. 

        * class.cs (TypeContainer::RegisterRequiredImplementations):
        Record methods we need.

        (TypeContainer::MakeKey): Helper function to make keys for
        MethodBases, since the Methodbase key is useless.

        (TypeContainer::Populate): Call RegisterRequiredImplementations
        before defining the methods.   

        Create a mapping for method_builders_to_methods ahead of time
        instead of inside a tight loop.

        (::RequireMethods):  Accept an object as the data to set into the
        hashtable so we can report interface vs abstract method mismatch.

2001-10-03  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * report.cs: Make all of it static.

        * rootcontext.cs: Drop object_type and value_type computations, as
        we have those in the TypeManager anyways.

        Drop report instance variable too, now it is a global.

        * driver.cs: Use try/catch on command line handling.

        Add --probe option to debug the error reporting system with a test
        suite. 

        * report.cs: Add support for exiting program when a probe
        condition is reached.

2001-10-03  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Binary::DoNumericPromotions): Fix the case when
        we do a forcible conversion regardless of type, to check if 
        ForceConversion returns a null.

        (Binary::error19): Use location to report error.

        (Unary::error23): Use location here too.

        * ../errors/cs0019.cs : Check in.

        * ../errors/cs0023.cs : Check in.

        * expression.cs (Expression.MemberLookup): Return null for a rather esoteric
        case of a non-null MethodInfo object with a length of 0 !

        (Binary::ResolveOperator): Flag error if overload resolution fails to find
        an applicable member - according to the spec :-)
        Also fix logic to find members in base types.

        (Unary::ResolveOperator): Same here.

        (Unary::report23): Change name to error23 and make first argument a TypeContainer
        as I was getting thoroughly confused between this and error19 :-)

        * expression.cs (Expression::ImplicitUserConversion): Re-write fully
        (::FindMostEncompassedType): Implement.
        (::FindMostEncompassingType): Implement.
        (::StandardConversionExists): Implement.

        (UserImplicitCast): Re-vamp. We now need info about most specific
        source and target types so that we can do the necessary conversions.

        (Invocation::MakeUnionSet): Completely re-write to make sure we form a proper
        mathematical union with no duplicates.

2001-10-03  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * rootcontext.cs (RootContext::PopulateTypes): Populate containers
        in order from base classes to child classes, so that we can in
        child classes look up in our parent for method names and
        attributes (required for handling abstract, virtual, new, override
        constructs: we need to instrospect our base class, and if we dont
        populate the classes in order, the introspection might be
        incorrect.  For example, a method could query its parent before
        the parent has any methods and would determine that the parent has
        no abstract methods (while it could have had them)).

        (RootContext::CreateType): Record the order in which we define the
        classes.

2001-10-02  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer::Populate): Also method definitions can
        fail now, keep track of this.

        (TypeContainer::FindMembers): Implement support for
        DeclaredOnly/noDeclaredOnly flag.

        (Constructor::Emit) Return the ConstructorBuilder.

        (Method::Emit) Return the MethodBuilder. 
        Check for abstract or virtual methods to be public.

        * rootcontext.cs (RootContext::CreateType): Register all the
        abstract methods required for the class to be complete and the
        interface methods that must be implemented. 

        * cs-parser.jay: Report error 501 (method requires body if it is
        not marked abstract or extern).

        * expression.cs (TypeOf::Emit): Implement.

        * typemanager.cs: runtime_handle_type, new global type.

        * class.cs (Property::Emit): Generate code for properties.

2001-10-02  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Unary::ResolveOperator): Find operators on base type
        too - we now conform exactly to the spec.

        (Binary::ResolveOperator): Same here.

        * class.cs (Operator::Define): Fix minor quirk in the tests.

        * ../errors/cs0215.cs : Added.

        * ../errors/cs0556.cs : Added.

        * ../errors/cs0555.cs : Added.

2001-10-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Reimplemented Location to be a struct with a
        single integer which is really efficient

2001-10-01  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        *  expression.cs (Expression::ImplicitUserConversion): Use location
        even in the case when we are examining True operators.
 
        * class.cs (Operator::Define): Perform extensive checks to conform
        with the rules for operator overloading in the spec.

        * expression.cs (Expression::ImplicitReferenceConversion): Implement
        some of the other conversions mentioned in the spec.

        * typemanager.cs (array_type): New static member for the System.Array built-in
        type.

        (cloneable_interface): For System.ICloneable interface.

        * driver.cs (Driver::Driver): Initialize TypeManager's core types even before
        we start resolving the tree and populating types.

        * ../errors/errors.txt : Update for error numbers -7, -8, -9, -10
 
2001-10-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Expression::ExprClassFromMemberInfo,
        Expression::Literalize): Create literal expressions from
        FieldInfos which are literals.

        (ConvertNumericExplicit, ImplicitNumericConversion): Fix a few
        type casts, because they were wrong.  The test suite in tests
        caught these ones.

        (ImplicitNumericConversion): ushort to ulong requires a widening
        cast. 

        Int32 constant to long requires widening cast as well.

        * literal.cs (LongLiteral::EmitLong): Do not generate i4 constants
        for integers because the type on the stack is not i4.

2001-09-30  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (report118): require location argument. 

        * parameter.cs: Do not dereference potential null value.

        * class.cs: Catch methods that lack the `new' keyword when
        overriding a name.  Report warnings when `new' is used without
        anything being there to override.

        * modifiers.cs: Handle `NEW' as MethodAttributes.NewSlot.

        * class.cs: Only add constructor to hashtable if it is non-null
        (as now constructors can fail on define).

        (TypeManager, Class, Struct): Take location arguments.

        Catch field instance initialization in structs as errors.

        accepting_filter: a new filter for FindMembers that is static so
        that we dont create an instance per invocation.

        (Constructor::Define): Catch errors where a struct constructor is
        parameterless 

        * cs-parser.jay: Pass location information for various new
        constructs. 

        * delegate.cs (Delegate): take a location argument.

        * driver.cs: Do not call EmitCode if there were problesm in the
        Definition of the types, as many Builders wont be there. 

        * decl.cs (Decl::Decl): Require a location argument.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Handle properly hex constants that can not fit
        into integers, and find the most appropiate integer for it.

        * literal.cs: Implement ULongLiteral.

        * rootcontext.cs: Provide better information about the location of
        failure when CreateType fails.

2001-09-29  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * rootcontext.cs (RootContext::PopulateTypes): Populates structs
        as well.

        * expression.cs (Binary::CheckShiftArguments): Add missing type
        computation.
        (Binary::ResolveOperator): Add type to the logical and and logical
        or, Bitwise And/Or and Exclusive Or code paths, it was missing
        before.

        (Binary::DoNumericPromotions): In the case where either argument
        is ulong (and most signed types combined with ulong cause an
        error) perform implicit integer constant conversions as well.

2001-09-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (UserImplicitCast): Method should always be
        non-null. 
        (Invocation::BetterConversion): Simplified test for IntLiteral.

        (Expression::ImplicitNumericConversion): Split this routine out.
        Put the code that performs implicit constant integer conversions
        here. 

        (Expression::Resolve): Become a wrapper around DoResolve so we can
        check eclass and type being set after resolve.

        (Invocation::Badness): Remove this dead function

        (Binary::ResolveOperator): Do not compute the expensive argumnets
        unless we have a union for it.

        (Probe::Emit): Is needs to do an isinst and then
        compare against null.

        (::CanConvert): Added Location argument.  If the Location argument
        is null (Location.Null), then we do not report errors.  This is
        used by the `probe' mechanism of the Explicit conversion.  We do
        not want to generate an error for something that the user
        explicitly requested to be casted.  But the pipeline for an
        explicit cast first tests for potential implicit casts.

        So for now, if the Location is null, it means `Probe only' to
        avoid adding another argument.   Might have to revise this
        strategy later.

        (ClassCast): New class used to type cast objects into arbitrary
        classes (used in Explicit Reference Conversions).

        Implement `as' as well.

        Reverted all the patches from Ravi below: they were broken:

                * The use of `level' as a mechanism to stop recursive
                  invocations is wrong.  That was there just to catch the
                  bug with a strack trace but not as a way of addressing
                  the problem.

                  To fix the problem we have to *understand* what is going
                  on and the interactions and come up with a plan, not
                  just get things going.

                * The use of the type conversion cache that I proposed
                  last night had an open topic: How does this work across
                  protection domains.  A user defined conversion might not
                  be public in the location where we are applying the
                  conversion, a different conversion might be selected
                  (ie, private A->B (better) but public B->A (worse),
                  inside A, A->B applies, but outside it, B->A will
                  apply).

                * On top of that (ie, even if the above is solved),
                  conversions in a cache need to be abstract.  Ie, `To
                  convert from an Int to a Short use an OpcodeCast', not
                  `To convert from an Int to a Short use the OpcodeCast on
                  the variable 5' (which is what this patch was doing).

2001-09-28  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Invocation::ConversionExists): Re-write to use
        the conversion cache

        (Expression::ConvertImplicit): Automatic bailing out if level != 0. Also
        cache all conversions done, not just user-defined ones.

        (Invocation::BetterConversion): The real culprit. Use ConversionExists
        to determine if a conversion exists instead of acutually trying to 
        perform the conversion. It's faster too.

        (Expression::ConvertExplicit): Modify to use ConversionExists to check
        and only then attempt the implicit conversion.

2001-09-28  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (ConvertImplicit): Use a cache for conversions
        already found. Check level of recursion and bail out if necessary.

2001-09-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (string_concat_string_string, string_concat_object_object):
        Export standard methods that we expect for string operations.

        * statement.cs (Block::UsageWarning): Track usage of variables and
        report the errors for not used variables.

        * expression.cs (Conditional::Resolve, ::Emit): Implement ?:
        operator. 

2001-09-27  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * codegen.cs: remove unnneded code 

        * expression.cs: Removed BuiltinTypeAccess class

        Fix the order in which implicit conversions are
        done.  

        The previous fixed dropped support for boxed conversions (adding a
        test to the test suite now)

        (UserImplicitCast::CanConvert): Remove test for source being null,
        that code is broken.  We should not feed a null to begin with, if
        we do, then we should track the bug where the problem originates
        and not try to cover it up here.

        Return a resolved expression of type UserImplicitCast on success
        rather than true/false.  Ravi: this is what I was talking about,
        the pattern is to use a static method as a "constructor" for
        objects. 

        Also, do not create arguments until the very last minute,
        otherwise we always create the arguments even for lookups that
        will never be performed. 

        (UserImplicitCast::Resolve): Eliminate, objects of type
        UserImplicitCast are born in a fully resolved state. 

        * typemanager.cs (InitCoreTypes): Init also value_type
        (System.ValueType). 

        * expression.cs (Cast::Resolve): First resolve the child expression.

        (LValue): Add new method AddressOf to be used by
        the `&' operator.  

        Change the argument of Store to take an EmitContext instead of an
        ILGenerator, because things like FieldExpr need to be able to call
        their children expression to generate the instance code. 

        (Expression::Error, Expression::Warning): Sugar functions for
        reporting errors.

        (Expression::MemberLookup): Accept a TypeContainer instead of a
        Report as the first argument.

        (Expression::ResolvePrimary): Killed.  I still want to improve
        this as currently the code is just not right.

        (Expression::ResolveMemberAccess): Simplify, but it is still
        wrong. 

        (Unary::Resolve): Catch errors in AddressOf operators.

        (LocalVariableReference::Emit, ::Store, ::AddressOf): typecast
        index to a byte for the short-version, or the compiler will choose
        the wrong Emit call, which generates the wrong data.

        (ParameterReference::Emit, ::Store): same.

        (FieldExpr::AddressOf): Implement.

        * typemanager.cs: TypeManager: made public variable instead of
        property.

        * driver.cs: document --fatal.

        * report.cs (ErrorMessage, WarningMessage): new names for the old
        Error and Warning classes.

        * cs-parser.jay (member_access): Turn built-in access to types
        into a normal simplename

2001-09-27  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Invocation::BetterConversion): Fix to cope
        with q being null, since this was introducing a bug.

        * expression.cs (ConvertImplicit): Do built-in conversions first.

2001-09-27  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (UserImplicitCast::Resolve): Fix bug.

2001-09-27  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer::AddConstructor): Fix a stupid bug
        I had introduced long ago (what's new ?).

        * expression.cs (UserImplicitCast::CanConvert): Static method to do 
        the work of all the checking. 
        (ConvertImplicit): Call CanConvert and only then create object if necessary.
        (UserImplicitCast::CanConvert, ::Resolve): Re-write.

        (Unary::Operator): Rename Add and Subtract to Addition and Subtraction because
        that is the right way. 

        (Invocation::MakeUnionSet): Convenience function to make unions of sets for 
        overloading resolution. Use everywhere instead of cutting and pasting code.

        (Binary::ResolveOperator): Use MakeUnionSet.

        (UserImplicitCast::CanConvert, ::Resolve): Update to take care of the case when 
        we have to convert to bool types. Not complete yet.

2001-09-27  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager::CSharpName): support ushort.

        * expression.cs (Expression::TryImplicitIntConversion): Attempts
        to provide an expression that performsn an implicit constant int
        conversion (section 6.1.6).
        (Expression::ConvertImplicitRequired): Reworked to include
        implicit constant expression conversions.

        (Expression::ConvertNumericExplicit): Finished.

        (Invocation::Emit): If InstanceExpression is null, then it means
        that we perform a call on this.

2001-09-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Unary::Emit): Remove some dead code.
        (Probe): Implement Resolve and Emit for `is'.
        (Expression::ConvertImplicitRequired): Attempt to do constant
        expression conversions here.  Maybe should be moved to
        ConvertImplicit, but I am not sure.
        (Expression::ImplicitLongConstantConversionPossible,
        Expression::ImplicitIntConstantConversionPossible): New functions
        that tell whether is it possible to apply an implicit constant
        expression conversion.

        (ConvertNumericExplicit): Started work on explicit numeric
        conversions.

        * cs-parser.jay: Update operator constants.

        * parameter.cs (Parameters::GetParameterInfo): Hook up VerifyArgs
        (Parameters::GetSignature): Hook up VerifyArgs here.
        (Parameters::VerifyArgs): Verifies that no two arguments have the
        same name. 

        * class.cs (Operator): Update the operator names to reflect the
        ones that the spec expects (as we are just stringizing the
        operator names).

        * expression.cs (Unary::ResolveOperator): Fix bug: Use
        MethodInfo's ReturnType instead of LookupMethodByBuilder as the
        previous usage did only work for our methods.
        (Expression::ConvertImplicit): Handle decimal implicit numeric
        conversions as well.
        (Expression::InternalTypeConstructor): Used to invoke constructors
        on internal types for default promotions.

        (Unary::Emit): Implement special handling for the pre/post
        increment/decrement for overloaded operators, as they need to have
        the same semantics as the other operators.

        (Binary::ResolveOperator): ditto.
        (Invocation::ConversionExists): ditto.
        (UserImplicitCast::Resolve): ditto.

2001-09-26  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Unary::Emit and Binary::Emit): If we have an overloaded
        operator, return after emitting body. Regression tests pass again !

        * expression.cs (ConvertImplicit): Take TypeContainer as first argument
        (Unary::ForceConversion, Binary::ForceConversion): Ditto.
        (Invocation::OverloadResolve): Ditto.
        (Invocation::BetterFunction, BetterConversion, ConversionExists): Ditto.

        * everywhere : update calls to the above methods accordingly.

2001-09-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * assign.cs (Assign): Make it inherit from ExpressionStatement.

        * expression.cs (ExpressionStatement): New base class used for
        expressions that can appear in statements, so that we can provide
        an alternate path to generate expression that do not leave a value
        on the stack.

        (Expression::Emit, and all the derivatives): We no longer return
        whether a value is left on the stack or not.  Every expression
        after being emitted leaves a single value on the stack.

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext::EmitStatementExpression): Use the
        facilties of ExpressionStatement if possible.

        * cs-parser.jay: Update statement_expression.

2001-09-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: Change the wording of message

2001-09-25  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Binary::ResolveOperator): Had forgottten to set 
        the type of the expression to the return type of the method if
        we have an overloaded operator match ! The regression tests pass again !
        (Unary::ResolveOperator): Ditto.

        * expression.cs (Invocation::ConversionExists): Correct the member lookup
        to find "op_Implicit", not "implicit" ;-)
        (UserImplicitCast): New class to take care of user-defined implicit conversions.
        (ConvertImplicit, ForceConversion): Take TypeContainer argument

        * everywhere : Correct calls to the above accordingly.

        * expression.cs (UserImplicitCast::Resolve, ::Emit): Implement.
        (ConvertImplicit): Do user-defined conversion if it exists.

2001-09-24  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * assign.cs: track location.
        (Resolve): Use implicit conversions on assignment.

        * literal.cs: Oops.  Not good, Emit of short access values should

        error if no implicit conversion exists.

        * typemanager.cs: declare and load enum_type, delegate_type and
        void_type. 

        * expression.cs (Expression::Emit): Now emit returns a value that
        tells whether a value is left on the stack or not.  This strategy
        might be reveted tomorrow with a mechanism that would address
        multiple assignments.
        (Expression::report118): Utility routine to report mismatches on
        the ExprClass.

        * expression.cs:  Instead of having FIXMEs in the Resolve
        functions, throw exceptions so it is obvious that we are facing a

        * codegen.cs (CodeGen::Save, CodeGen::CodeGen, CodeGen::Basename):

        * class.cs (TypeContainer::AddMethod): Do not call DefineName if the name was
        already defined.

2001-09-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        (Unary::ForceConversion): Copy and Paste !

        * class.cs (Operator::Define): Fix a small bug for the case when we have 
        a unary operator.

        * expression.cs (Unary::Emit): Implement. Need to find the right Opcodes
        for the inbuilt operators. Only overloading works for now ;-)

2001-09-18  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (CheckedExpr::Resolve, CheckedExpr::Emit,
        UnCheckedExpr::Resolve, UnCheckedExpr::Emit): Implement.

        binding 
        (FieldExpr::Emit): Implement.

        * codegen.cs (EmitIf, EmitStatement, EmitBlock): Propagate whether
        the last instruction contains a return opcode to avoid generating
        the last `ret' instruction (this generates correct code, and it is
        nice to pass the peverify output).

        * class.cs (TypeContainer::EmitFieldInitializers): Implement field
        initializer for static and instance variables.
        (Constructor::Emit): Allow initializer to be null in the case of
        static constructors.  Only emit initializer for instance
        constructors. 

        (TypeContainer::FindMembers): Return a null array if there are no
        matches.

        Also fix the code for the MemberTypes.Method branch, as it was not
        scanning that for operators (or tried to access null variables before).

        * assign.cs (Assign::Emit): Handle instance and static fields. 

        * TODO: Updated.

        * driver.cs: Stop compilation if there are parse errors.

        constructors, that should be flagged as an error.

        Move back code into TypeContainer::Populate.

2001-09-18  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        (Operator::OpType): Change Plus and Minus to Add and Subtract.

        * cs-parser.jay : Update accordingly.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer::FindMembers): For the case where we are searching

        methods, constructors and operators.
        (Operator::Define): Completely revamp.
        (Operator.OperatorMethod, MethodName): New fields.
        (TypeContainer::Populate): Move the registering of builders into

        (Operator::Emit): Re-write.

        * expression.cs (Binary::Emit): Comment out code path to emit method
        invocation stuff for the case when we have a user defined operator. I am

        * expression.cs (Expression::OverloadResolve): Drop TypeContainer
        argument. 

        (Expression::MemberLookup): Provide a version that allows to
        specify the MemberTypes and BindingFlags. 

        * statement.cs (Block::GetVariableInfo): Forgot to recurse here,
        so it was not fetching variable information from outer blocks.

        * modifiers.cs: (Modifiers::TypeAttr): Invert condition on
        Beforefieldinit as it was buggy.

        * rootcontext.cs (::LookupInterfaceOrClass): Removed an Error -200
        that Ravi put here.  

        * class.cs (Constructor::Emit): Only emit if block is not null.
        (TypeContainer::EmitDefaultConstructor): Removed routine, now we
        deal with this by semantically definining it as if the user had
        done it.

        (TypeContainer::FindMembers): Removed ad-hoc hack to deal with
        constructors as we now "emit" them at a higher level.

        (TypeContainer::DefineDefaultConstructor): Used to define the
        default constructors if none was provided.

        (ConstructorInitializer): Add methods Resolve and Emit. 

        * expression.cs: Cast to ConstructorInfo instead of MethodInfo

        (Binary::ResolveOperator): More null checking and miscellaneous coding
        style cleanup.

2001-09-17  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * rootcontext.cs (IsNameSpace): Compare against null.

        Emit method.

        * interface.cs (Interface::InterfaceAttr): Re-write to be more correct and complete.
        (Interface::IsTopLevel): Add. Same as TypeContainer::IsTopLevel.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer::IsTopLevel): Modify to use parent.Parent instead
        of parent.parent.

2001-09-15  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer::FindMembers): Add support for
        constructors. 
        (MethodCore): New class that encapsulates both the shared aspects
        of a Constructor and a Method.  
        (Method, Constructor): Factored pieces into MethodCore.

        * driver.cs: Added --fatal which makes errors throw exceptions.
        Load System assembly as well as part of the standard library.

        * report.cs: Allow throwing exceptions on errors for debugging.

        * modifiers.cs: Do not use `parent', instead use the real type
        container to evaluate permission settings.

        * class.cs: Put Ravi's patch back in.  He is right, and we will
        have to cope with the

2001-09-14  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * modifiers.cs (TypeAttr, MethodAttr, FieldAttr): Map protected internal to
        FamORAssem, not FamANDAssem.

2001-09-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs: Added --parse option that only parses its input files
        and terminates.

        * class.cs: Reverted last change from Ravi to IsTopLevel.  That is
        incorrect.  IsTopLevel is not used to tell whether an object is
        root_types or not (that can be achieved by testing this ==
        root_types).  But to see if this is a top-level *class* (not
        necessarly our "toplevel" container). 

2001-09-14  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * enum.cs (Enum::Define): Modify to call the Lookup method on the
        parent instead of a direct call to GetType.

2001-09-14  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer::TypeAttr): Remove property code and move it into
        Modifiers.TypeAttr. This should just be a call to that method.

        * modifiers.cs (TypeAttr): Re-write and take an extra argument, the TypeContainer
        object so that we can determine if we are top-level or not.

        * delegate.cs (Delegate::Define): Update call to TypeAttr method to pass in the 
        TypeContainer too.

        * enum.cs (Enum::Define): Ditto.

        * modifiers.cs (FieldAttr): Re-write.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer::IsTopLevel): Change accessibility to public.

        to precisely that info.

        * modifiers.cs (MethodAttr): Re-write.
        (EventAttr): Remove altogether as there seems to be no ostensible use for it.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer::IsTopLevel): Re-write. root_types doesn't seem to be the parent
        of top-level types as claimed.

2001-09-13  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (MemberLookup): Fruitless attempt to lookup
        constructors.  Maybe I need to emit default constructors?  That

        (Invocation::EmitArguments): new function, shared by the new
        constructor and us.

        * cs-parser.jay (CompositeLookup, QualifierIdentifier,
        SimpleLookup): Auxiliary routines to help parse a qualifier
        identifier.  

        Update qualifier_identifier rule.

        * codegen.cs: Removed debugging messages.

        * class.cs: Make this a global thing, this acts just as a "key" to
        objects that we might have around.

        (Populate): Only initialize method_builders_to_methods once.

        * expression.cs (PropertyExpr): Initialize type from the
        PropertyType.

        (Binary::ResolveOperator): Set the return type to boolean for
        comparission operators

        * typemanager.cs: Remove debugging print code.

        (Invocation::Resolve): resolve type.

        * class.cs: Allocate a MemberInfo of the correct size, as the code
        elsewhere depends on the test to reflect the correct contents.

        (Method::) Keep track of parameters, due to System.Reflection holes

        (TypeContainer::Populate): Keep track of MethodBuilders to Method
        mapping here.

        (TypeContainer::FindMembers): Use ArrayList and then copy an array
        of the exact size and return that.

        (Class::LookupMethodByBuilder): New function that maps
        MethodBuilders to its methods.  Required to locate the information
        on methods because System.Reflection bit us again.

        * support.cs: New file, contains an interface ParameterData and
        two implementations: ReflectionParameters and InternalParameters
        used to access Parameter information.  We will need to grow this
        as required.

        * expression.cs (Invocation::GetParameterData): implement a cache
        and a wrapper around the ParameterData creation for methods. 
        (Invocation::OverloadResolve): Use new code.

2001-09-13  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        (ParameterReference::Resolve): Implement.
        (ParameterReference::Emit): Implement.

        * cs-parser.jay: Fix bug introduced by Ravi, variable initializers
        that are expressions need to stay as Expressions.

        * typemanager.cs (CSharpName): Returns the C# name of a type if
        possible. 

        * expression.cs (Expression::ConvertImplicit): New function that

        typecontainer objects as we need to get at them.
        (TypeManager::AddUserType): Overload to take an extra argument, the TypeContainer.

        typecontainer object.

        of just a Report object.

2001-09-11  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Event::Define): Go back to using the prefixes "add_" and
        "remove_"
        (TypeContainer::Populate): Now define the delegates of the type too.

        and not <=
        (Operator::Define): Re-write logic to get types by using the LookupType method

        addOn_ and removeOn_ 

        * genericparser.cs (GenericParser::error): Overloaded method to handle the case
        of the location being passed in too. Ideally, this should go later since all
        error reporting should be done through the Report object.

        (Populate): Iterate thru the indexers we have and define them too.

        resolution. 

        * cs-parser.jay (primary_expression/qualified_identifier): track

        will is used during the tree rewriting as we resolve them during
        semantic analysis.

        (Expression::MemberLookup): Implements the MemberLookup (7.3) from
        the spec.  Missing entirely is the information about
        accessability of elements of it.

        (Expression::ExprClassFromMemberInfo): New constructor for
        Expressions that creates a fully initialized Expression based on
        a MemberInfo that is one of Eventinfo, FieldINfo, PropertyInfo or

        of attributes for a type.
        (Struct::Struct): Modify to take one more argument, the attribute list.

        * cs-parser.jay : Clean out commented cruft.
        (dimension_separators, dimension_separator): Comment out. Ostensibly not
        used anywhere - non-reducing rule.
        (namespace_declarations): Non-reducing rule - comment out.

        * enum.cs (Enum::AddEnum): Rename to AddEnumMember as I was getting confused
        with TypeContainer::AddEnum.

        * makefile : Update.

        * cs-parser.jay (delegate_declaration): Implement.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer::Populate): Update to define all enums and events
        we have.
        (Events): New property for the events arraylist we hold. Shouldn't we move to using
        readonly fields for all these cases ?

2001-08-31  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@che.iitm.ac.in>

        * class.cs (Property): Revamp to use the convention of making fields readonly.
        Accordingly modify code elsewhere.

        * class.cs : Apply patch from Mr. Mandar <go_mono@hotmail.com> for implementing
        the Define method of the Property class.

        * class.cs : Clean up applied patch and update references to variables etc. Fix 
        trivial bug.

        * ../errors/errors.txt : Update to include new error numbers. Are these numbers 
        already taken care of by the MS compiler ?  

2001-08-29  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@che.iitm.ac.in>

2001-08-29  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@che.iitm.ac.in>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer::AddIndexer): Remove FIXME comment. We

        (catch_clauses): Modify accordingly.

        (try_statement): Revamp. Basically, we get rid of one unnecessary rule
        and re-write the code in the actions to extract the specific and
        general catch clauses by being a little smart ;-)

        * ../tests/try.cs : Fix. It's not 'finalize' my friend, it's 'finally' !
        Hooray, try and catch statements parse fine !

2001-08-28  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@che.iitm.ac.in>

        * statement.cs (Block::GetVariableType): Fix logic to extract the type
        string from the hashtable of variables.

        * cs-parser.jay (event_accessor_declarations): Trivial fix. Man, how did

        DictionaryEntry the same : $1 !!

        (indexer_declarator): Implement actions.
        (parsing_indexer): New local boolean used to keep track of whether
        we are parsing indexers or properties. This is necessary because 
        implicit_parameters come into picture even for the get accessor in the 
        case of an indexer.
        (get_accessor_declaration, set_accessor_declaration): Correspondingly modified.

        * class.cs (Indexer): New class for indexer declarations.

        concatenating all the commas together, just as they appear.
        (opt_dim_separators): Modify accordingly
        (rank_specifiers): Update accordingly. Basically do the same
        thing - instead, collect the brackets here.
        (opt_rank_sepcifiers): Modify accordingly.
        (array_type): Modify to actually return the complete type string
        instead of ignoring the rank_specifiers.
        (expression_list): Implement to collect the expressions
        (variable_initializer): Implement. We make it a list of expressions
        essentially so that we can handle the array_initializer case neatly too.
        (variable_initializer_list): Implement.
        (array_initializer): Make it a list of variable_initializers
        (opt_array_initializer): Modify accordingly.

        * expression.cs (New::NType): Add enumeration to help us

        or an array creation.
        (New:NewType, New::Rank, New::Indices, New::Initializers): New
        members to hold data about array creation.
        (New:New): Modify to update NewType
        (New:New): New Overloaded contructor for the array creation
        case.

        * cs-parser.jay (array_creation_expression): Implement to call
        the overloaded New constructor.

2001-08-26  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@che.iitm.ac.in>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer::Constructors): Return member
        constructors instead of returning null.

        * typemanager.cs (InitCoreTypes): Initialize the various core
        types after we have populated the type manager with the user
        defined types (this distinction will be important later while
        compiling corlib.dll)

        * expression.cs, literal.cs, assign.cs, constant.cs: Started work
        on Expression Classification.  Now all expressions have a method
        `Resolve' and a method `Emit'.

        * codegen.cs, cs-parser.jay: Fixed the bug that stopped code
        generation from working.     Also add some temporary debugging
        code. 

2001-08-24  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * codegen.cs: Lots of code generation pieces.  This is only the
        beginning, will continue tomorrow with more touches of polish.  We
        handle the fundamentals of if, while, do, for, return.  Others are
        trickier and I need to start working on invocations soon.

        * gen-treedump.cs: Bug fix, use s.Increment here instead of
        s.InitStatement. 

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext): New struct, used during code
        emission to keep a context.   Most of the code generation will be
        here. 

        * cs-parser.jay: Add embedded blocks to the list of statements of
        this block.  So code generation proceeds in a top down fashion.

2001-08-23  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * statement.cs: Add support for multiple child blocks.

2001-08-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        Block of code given a TypeContainer and its ILGenerator. 

        * statement.cs (Block): Standard public readonly optimization.
        (Block::Block constructors): Link children. 
        (Block::Child): Child Linker.
        (Block::EmitVariables): Emits IL variable declarations.

        * class.cs: Drop support for MethodGroups here, delay until
        Semantic Analysis.
        (Method::): Applied the same simplification that I did before, and
        move from Properties to public readonly fields.
        (Method::ParameterTypes): Returns the parameter types for the
        function, and implements a cache that will be useful later when I
        do error checking and the semantic analysis on the methods is
        performed.
        (Constructor::GetCallingConvention): Renamed from CallingConvetion
        and made a method, optional argument tells whether this is a class
        or a structure to apply the `has-this' bit.
        (Method::GetCallingConvention): Implement, returns the calling
        convention. 
        (Method::Define): Defines the type, a second pass is performed
        later to populate the methods.

        (Constructor::ParameterTypes): implement a cache similar to the
        one on Method::ParameterTypes, useful later when we do semantic
        analysis. 

        (TypeContainer::EmitMethod):  New method.  Emits methods.

        * expression.cs: Removed MethodGroup class from here.

        * parameter.cs (Parameters::GetCallingConvention): new method.

2001-08-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer::Populate): Drop RootContext from the
        argument. 

        (Constructor::CallingConvention): Returns the calling convention.
        (Constructor::ParameterTypes): Returns the constructor parameter
        types. 

        (TypeContainer::AddConstructor): Keep track of default constructor
        and the default static constructor.

        (Constructor::) Another class that starts using `public readonly'
        instead of properties. 

        (Constructor::IsDefault): Whether this is a default constructor. 

        (Field::) use readonly public fields instead of properties also.

        (TypeContainer::TypeAttr, TypeContainer::AddConstructor): Keep
        track of static constructors;  If none is used, turn on
        BeforeFieldInit in the TypeAttributes. 

        * cs-parser.jay (opt_argument_list): now the return can be null
        for the cases where there are no arguments. 

        (constructor_declarator): If there is no implicit `base' or
        `this', then invoke the default parent constructor. 

        * modifiers.cs (MethodAttr): New static function maps a set of
        modifiers flags into a MethodAttributes enum
        (FieldAttr): renamed from `Map'.  So now we have FieldAttr,
        MethodAttr, TypeAttr to represent the various mappings where the
        modifiers are used.
        (FieldAttr): Map also `readonly' to `FieldAttributes.InitOnly'  

2001-08-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * parameter.cs (GetParameterInfo): Fix bug where there would be no
        method arguments.

        * interface.cs (PopulateIndexer): Implemented the code generator
        for interface indexers.

2001-08-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * interface.cs (InterfaceMemberBase): Now we track the new status
        here.  

        (PopulateProperty): Implement property population.  Woohoo!  Got
        Methods and Properties going today. 

        Removed all the properties for interfaces, and replaced them with
        `public readonly' fields. 

2001-08-16  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * interface.cs (AddEvent, AddMethod, AddIndexer, AddProperty):
        initialize their hashtables/arraylists only when they are needed
        instead of doing this always.

        * parameter.cs: Handle refs and out parameters.

        * cs-parser.jay: Use an ArrayList to construct the arguments
        instead of the ParameterCollection, and then cast that to a
        Parameter[] array.

        * parameter.cs: Drop the use of ParameterCollection and use
        instead arrays of Parameters.

        (GetParameterInfo): Use the Type, not the Name when resolving
        types. 

2001-08-13  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * parameter.cs: Eliminate the properties Name, Type and ModFlags,
        and instead use public readonly fields.

        * class.cs: Put back walking code for type containers.

2001-08-11  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (MakeConstant): Code to define constants.

        * rootcontext.cs (LookupType): New function.  Used to locate types 


2001-08-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * rootcontext.cs: OH MY!  My trick works!   It is amazing how nice
        this System.Reflection code is.  Kudos to Microsoft

        * typemanager.cs: Implement a type cache and avoid loading all
        types at boot time.  Wrap in LookupType the internals.  This made
        the compiler so much faster.  Wow.  I rule!

        * driver.cs: Make sure we always load mscorlib first (for
        debugging purposes, nothing really important).

        * Renamespaced things that were on `CSC' to `CIR'.  Maybe I should
        have moved to `CSC' rather than `CIR'.  Oh man!  The confussion!  

        * rootcontext.cs: Lookup types on their namespace;  Lookup types
        on namespaces that have been imported using the `using' keyword.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer::TypeAttr): Virtualize.
        (Class::TypeAttr): Return attributes suitable for this bad boy.
        (Struct::TypeAttr): ditto.
        Handle nested classes.
        (TypeContainer::) Remove all the type visiting code, it is now
        replaced with the rootcontext.cs code

        * rootcontext.cs (GetClassBases): Added support for structs. 

2001-08-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * interface.cs, statement.cs, class.cs, parameter.cs,
        rootcontext.cs, gen-treedump.cs, enum.cs, cs-parse.jay:
        Drop use of TypeRefs, and use strings instead.

2001-08-04  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * rootcontext.cs: 

        * class.cs (Struct::Struct): set the SEALED flags after
        checking the modifiers.
        (TypeContainer::TypeAttr): new property, returns the
        TypeAttributes for a class.  

        * cs-parser.jay (type_list): Oops, list production was creating a
        new list of base types.

        * rootcontext.cs (StdLib): New property.
        (GetInterfaceTypeByName): returns an interface by type name, and
        encapsulates error handling here.
        (GetInterfaces): simplified.
        (ResolveTree): Encapsulated all the tree resolution here.
        (CreateClass, GetClassBases, GetInterfaceOrClass): Create class
        types. 

        * driver.cs: Add support for --nostdlib, to avoid loading the
        default assemblies.
        (Main): Do not put tree resolution here. 

        * rootcontext.cs: Beginning of the class resolution.

2001-08-03  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * rootcontext.cs: Provide better error reporting. 

        * cs-parser.jay (interface_base): set our $$ to be interfaces.

        * rootcontext.cs (CreateInterface): Handle the case where there
        are no parent interfaces.

        (CloseTypes): Routine to flush types at the end.
        (CreateInterface): Track types.
        (GetInterfaces): Returns an array of Types from the list of
        defined interfaces.

        * typemanager.c (AddUserType): Mechanism to track user types (puts
        the type on the global type hash, and allows us to close it at the
        end). 

2001-08-02  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * tree.cs: Removed RecordType, added RecordClass, RecordStruct and
        RecordInterface instead.

        * cs-parser.jay: Updated to reflect changes above.

        * decl.cs (Definition): Keep track of the TypeBuilder type that
        represents this type here.  Not sure we will use it in the long
        run, but wont hurt for now.

        * driver.cs: Smaller changes to accomodate the new code.

        Call ResolveInterfaceBases, Call ResolveClassBases, Save assembly
        when done. 

        * rootcontext.cs (CreateInterface):  New method, used to create
        the System.TypeBuilder type for interfaces.
        (ResolveInterfaces): new entry point to resolve the interface
        hierarchy. 
        (CodeGen): Property, used to keep track of the code generator.

2001-07-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Add a second production for delegate_declaration
        with `VOID'.

        (enum_body): Put an opt_comma here instead of putting it on
        enum_body or enum_member_declarations so we can handle trailing
        commas on enumeration members.  Gets rid of a shift/reduce.

        (type_list): Need a COMMA in the middle.

        (indexer_declaration): Tell tokenizer to recognize get/set

        * Remove old targets.

        * Re-add the parser target.

2001-07-13  Simon Cozens <simon@simon-cozens.org>

        * cs-parser.jay: Add precendence rules for a number of operators
        ot reduce the number of shift/reduce conflicts in the grammar.

2001-07-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * tree.cs: moved IGenerator interface and renamed it to ITreeDump
        and put it here.

        Get rid of old crufty code.

        * rootcontext.cs: Use this to keep track of the parsed
        representation and the defined types available to the program. 

        * gen-treedump.cs: adjust for new convention.

        * type.cs: Split out the type manager, and the assembly builder
        from here. 

        * typemanager.cs: the type manager will live here now.

        * cil-codegen.cs: And the code generator here. 

2001-07-14  Sean MacIsaac  <macisaac@ximian.com>

        * makefile: Fixed up for easy making.

2001-07-13  Simon Cozens <simon@simon-cozens.org>

        * cs-parser.jay (rank_specifier): Remove a conflict by reordering
        the 

        (unary_expression): Expand pre_increment_expression and
        post_decrement_expression to reduce a shift/reduce.

2001-07-11  Simon Cozens

        * cs-tokenizer.cs: Hex numbers should begin with a 0.

        Improve allow_keyword_as_indent name.

2001-06-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Adjustments for Beta2. 

2001-06-13  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * decl.cs: Added `Define' abstract method.
        (InTransit): new property, used to catch recursive definitions. 

        * interface.cs: Implement `Define'. 

        * modifiers.cs: Map Modifiers.constants to
        System.Reflection.TypeAttribute flags.

        * class.cs: Keep track of types and user-defined types.
        (BuilderInit): New method for creating an assembly
        (ResolveType): New function to launch the resolution process, only
        used by interfaces for now.

        * cs-parser.jay: Keep track of Classes, Structs and Interfaces
        that are inserted into the name space. 

2001-06-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ARGH.  I have screwed up my tree so many times due to the use of
        rsync rather than using CVS.  Going to fix this at once. 

        * driver.cs: Objetify driver.  Load assemblies, use assemblies to
        load types.

2001-06-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Experiment successful: Use System.Type rather that our own
        version of Type.  

2001-05-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Removed nsAliases from here.

        Use new namespaces, handle `using XXX;' 

        * namespace.cs: Reimplemented namespace handling, use a recursive
        definition of the class.  Now we can keep track of using clauses
        and catch invalid using clauses.

2001-05-24  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * gen-treedump.cs: Adapted for all the renaming.

        * expression.cs (Expression): this class now has a Type property
        which returns an expression Type.

        (Probe::, New::, TypeOf::, SizeOf::, Constant::): renamed from
        `Type', as this has a different meaning now in the base

2001-05-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * interface.cs, class.cs: Removed from all the sources the
        references to signature computation, as we can not do method
        signature computation during the parsing time, as we are not
        trying to solve at that point distinguishing:

        class X {
                void a (Blah x) {}
                void a (NS.Blah x) {}
        }

        Which depending on the context might be valid or not, as we do not
        know if Blah is the same thing as NS.Blah at that point.

        * Redid everything so the code uses TypeRefs now instead of
        Types.  TypeRefs are just temporary type placeholders, that need
        to be resolved.  They initially have a pointer to a string and the
        current scope in which they are used.  This is used later by the
        compiler to resolve the reference to an actual Type. 

        * DeclSpace is no longer a CIR.Type, and neither are
        TypeContainers (Class and Struct) nor Interfaces nor Enums.  They
        are all DeclSpaces, but no Types. 

        * type.cs (TypeRefManager): This implements the TypeRef manager,
        which keeps track of all the types that need to be resolved after
        the parsing has finished. 

2001-05-13  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ARGH.  We are going to have to store `foreach' as a class rather
        than resolving it, as we need to verify error 1579 after name
        resolution.   *OR* we could keep a flag that says `This request to
        IEnumerator comes from a foreach statement' which we can then use
        to generate the error.

2001-05-10  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.AddMethod): we now add methods to the
        MethodGroup instead of the method hashtable.  

        * expression.cs: Add MethodGroup abstraction, which gets us one
        step closer to the specification in the way we handle method
        declarations.  

        * cs-parser.jay (primary_expression): qualified_identifier now
        tried to match up an identifier to a local variable reference or
        to a parameter reference.

        current_local_parameters is now a parser global variable that
        points to the current parameters for the block, used during name
        lookup.

        (property_declaration): Now creates an implicit `value' argument to
        the set accessor.

2001-05-09  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * parameter.cs: Do not use `param' arguments as part of the
        signature, per the spec.

2001-05-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * decl.cs: Base class for classes, structs and interfaces.  This
        is the "Declaration Space" 

        * cs-parser.jay: Use CheckDef for checking declaration errors
        instead of having one on each function.

        * class.cs: Factor out some code for handling error handling in
        accordance to the "Declarations" section in the "Basic Concepts"
        chapter in the ECMA C# spec.

        * interface.cs: Make all interface member classes derive from
        InterfaceMemberBase.

2001-05-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Many things: all interfaces are parsed and generated in
        gen-treedump.  Support for member variables, constructors,
        destructors, properties, constants is there.

        Beginning of the IL backend, but very little done, just there for
        testing purposes. 

2001-04-29  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * cs-parser.jay: Fix labeled statement.

        * cs-tokenizer.cs (escape): Escape " and ' always.
        ref_line, ref_name: keep track of the line/filename as instructed
        by #line by the compiler.
        Parse #line.

2001-04-27  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * System.CodeDOM/CodeBinaryOperatorExpression.cs: Rearrange enum
        to match the values in System.CodeDOM.

        Divid renamed to Divide.

        * System.CodeDOM/CodeForLoopStatement.cs: Always have valid
        statements. 
        (Statements.set): remove.

        * System.CodeDOM/CodeCatchClause.cs: always have a valid
        statements. 

        * System.CodeDOM/CodeIfStatement.cs: trueStatements and
        falseStatements always have valid values. 

        * cs-parser.jay: Use System.CodeDOM now.
