[mono.git] / mcs / mcs / ChangeLog

2001-09-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * driver.cs (parse): Report error 2001 if we can not open the
        source file.

        * expression.cs (SimpleName::ResolveSimpleName): Error if we can
        not resolve it.

        * cs-parser.jay (QualifierIdentifier): Pass location to SimpleName
        object. 

        * statement.cs (Block::EmitMeta): Reuse the count across all the variables,
        otherwise nested blocks end up with the same index.

        * codegen.cs (CodeGen::EmitTopBlock): Pass initial sequence

        * expression.cs:  Instead of having FIXMEs in the Resolve
        functions, throw exceptions so it is obvious that we are facing a
        bug. 

        * cs-parser.jay (invocation_expression): Pass Location information.

        * codegen.cs (CodeGen::Save, CodeGen::CodeGen, CodeGen::Basename):
        Use a basename for those routines because .NET does not like paths
        on them. 

        * class.cs (TypeContainer::AddMethod): Do not call DefineName if the name was
        already defined.

2001-09-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * typemanager.cs (TypeManager::CoreLookupType): A function to make sure that we
        are loading the correct data types (throws an exception if not).
        (TypeManager::InitCoreTypes): Use CoreLookupType

        * expression.cs (Unary::ResolveOperator): return the child
        expression for expressions which are just +expr.
        (Unary::ResolveOperator): Return negative literals for -LITERAL
        expressions (otherwise they are Unary {Literal}).
        (Invocation::Badness): Take into account `Implicit constant
        expression conversions'.

        * literal.cs (LongLiteral): Implement long literal class.
        (IntLiteral): export the `Value' of the intliteral. 

2001-09-19  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Binary::Emit): Finally get the emission right ! Woo!

        * class.cs (Operator::Define): Change the methodname prefix to 'op_' 
        instead of 'Operator'

        * expression.cs (Binary::ResolveOperator): Update accordingly.
        (Unary::Operator): Change names to 'Add' and 'Subtract' instead 'Plus'
        and 'Minus'

        * cs-parser.jay (unary_expression): Update to use the new names.

        * gen-treedump.cs (GetUnary): Same here.

        * expression.cs (Unary::Resolve): Implement.
        (Binary::ResolveOperator): Re-write bits to quietly continue if no overloaded 
        operators are found instead of making noise ;-)
        (Unary::ResolveOperator): New method to do precisely the same thing which
        Binary::ResolveOperator does for Binary expressions.
        (Unary.method, .Arguments): Add.
        (Unary::OperName): Implement.   
        (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.

        * expression.cs (This::Emit): Implement. 
        (This::Resolve): Implement.
        (TypeOf:Resolve): Implement.
        (Expression::ResolveSimpleName): Add an implicit this to instance
        field references. 
        (MemberAccess::Resolve): Deal with Parameters and Fields. 
        Bind instance variable to Field expressions.
        (FieldExpr::Instance): New field used to track the expression that
        represents the object instance.
        (FieldExpr::Resolve): Track potential errors from MemberLookup not
        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.

        * cs-parser.jay (constructor_declaration): Provide default base
        initializer for non-static constructors.
        (constructor_declarator): Do not provide a default base
        initializers if none was specified.
        Catch the fact that constructors should not have parameters.

        * class.cs: Do not emit parent class initializers for static
        constructors, that should be flagged as an error.

2001-09-18  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (RegisterMethodBuilder): Remove : it's unnecessary.
        Move back code into TypeContainer::Populate.

2001-09-18  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer::AddConstructor): Fix the check to
        compare against Name, not Basename. 
        (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
        for methods, don't forget to look into the operators too.
        (RegisterMethodBuilder): Helper method to take care of this for
        methods, constructors and operators.
        (Operator::Define): Completely revamp.
        (Operator.OperatorMethod, MethodName): New fields.
        (TypeContainer::Populate): Move the registering of builders into
        RegisterMethodBuilder.
        (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
        just not able to get it right !
        
2001-09-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * 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

2001-09-17  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer::EmitDefaultConstructor): Register
        the default constructor builder with our hashtable for methodbuilders
        to methodcores.

        * expression.cs (Invocation::OverloadResolve): Add a check for pd == null
        and argument_count is 0 in which case we have a match.
        (Binary::ResolveOperator): More null checking and miscellaneous coding
        style cleanup.

2001-09-17  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * rootcontext.cs (IsNameSpace): Compare against null.

        * everywhere : Correct spelling to 'Greater' and to 'Subtract'

        * class.cs (Operator::OpType): Change names to match the ones in Binary::Operator
        and Unary::Operator.

        accordingly.

        * expression.cs (Binary::method): New member to hold the MethodBase for the case when
        we have overloaded operators.
        (Binary::ResolveOperator): Implement the part which does the operator overload
        resolution.

        * class.cs (Operator::Emit): Implement.
        (TypeContainer::Emit): Emit the operators we have too.

        * expression.cs (Binary::Emit): Update to emit the appropriate code for
        the case when we have a user-defined operator.
        
2001-09-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * rootcontext.cs: Fix bug: tree.Namespaces might be null.

        * class.cs (EmitStaticFieldInitializers, EmitFieldInitializers): Make public.
        (TypeContainer::EmitConstructor): Remove and move code into Contructor::Emit.
        (Constructor::Emit): Implement.
        (EmitStaticFieldInitializers, EmitFieldInitializers): Ensure we return immediately

        (TypeContainer::Emit): Pass in TypeContainer as argument to the constructor's 
        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>

        * tree.cs (Tree::namespaces): New hashtable to keep track of namespaces
        in the source.
        (Tree::RecordNamespace): Method to do what the name says ;-)
        (Tree::Namespaces): Property to get at the namespaces hashtable.

        * cs-parser.jay (namespace_declaration): Call RecordNamespace to 
        keep track.

        * rootcontext.cs (IsNamespace): Fixed it :-)

2001-09-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@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.
        (TypeContainer::HaveStaticConstructor): New property to provide access
        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
        might be it (currently .NET emits this for me automatically).
        (Invocation::OverloadResolve): Cope with Arguments == null.
        (Invocation::EmitArguments): new function, shared by the new
        constructor and us.

        proper call instruction for virtual or non-virtual invocations.
        (New::Emit): Implement.
        (New::Resolve): Implement.
        (MemberAccess:Resolve): Implement.
        (MethodGroupExpr::InstanceExpression): used conforming to the spec
        to track instances.
        (FieldExpr::Resolve): Set type.

        * support.cs: Handle empty arguments.
                
        * 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. 

        * codegen.cs (EmitContext::EmitBoolExpression): Use propper
        Resolve pattern.  Attempt to implicitly convert value to boolean.
        Emit code.

        * expression.cs: Set the type for the int32/int32 argument case.
        (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>

        * class.cs (TypeContainer::EmitField): Remove and move into

        things only once, and to reuse this information

        * expression.cs (LocalVariableReference::Emit): Implement.
        (OpcodeCast::Emit): fix.

        (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
        implements implicit type conversions.

        (Expression::ImplicitReferenceConversion): Implements implicit
        reference conversions.

        (EmptyCast): New type for transparent casts.

        (OpcodeCast): New type for casts of types that are performed with
        a sequence of bytecodes.
        
        (BoxedCast): New type used for casting value types into reference
        types.  Emits a box opcode.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer::FindMembers): Method which does exactly
        what Type.FindMembers does, only we don't have to use reflection. No
        implementation yet.

        * typemanager.cs (typecontainers): New hashtable to hold the corresponding
        typecontainer objects as we need to get at them.
        (TypeManager::AddUserType): Overload to take an extra argument, the TypeContainer.

        * rootcontext.cs : Correspondingly modify called to AddUserType to pass the
        typecontainer object.

        * expression.cs (MemberLookup): Modify signature to take a RootContext object instead
        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.
        (TypeContainer.Delegates): Property to access the list of delegates defined
        in the type.

        * delegates.cs (Delegate::Define): Implement partially.

        * modifiers.cs (TypeAttr): Handle more flags.

2001-09-11  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * class.cs (Indexer::Define): Fix for loop iteration condition to be just <
        and not <=
        (Operator::Define): Re-write logic to get types by using the LookupType method
        instead of blindly doing a Type.GetType ! How stupid can I get ;-) ?
        (Indexer::Define): Ditto.
        (Event::Define): Ditto.
        (Property::Define): Ditto.
        
2001-09-10  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        (TypeContainer.Operators): New property to access the list of operators
        in a type.
        (Operator.OperatorMethodBuilder): New member to hold the method builder

        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.

        * class.cs (TypeContainer.Indexers): New property to access the list of indexers.
        (Populate): Iterate thru the indexers we have and define them too.

2001-09-09  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * expression.cs (Binary::Resolve): Beginning of it.  I scratched
        my previous implementation, did not work.

        * typemanager.cs: Add a couple of missing types (the longs).

        * literal.cs: Use TypeManager.bool_type instead of getting it.

        * expression.cs (EventExpr): New kind of expressions.
        (Expressio::ExprClassFromMemberInfo): finish

2001-09-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * assign.cs: Emit stores to static fields differently.

2001-09-08  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * Merge in changes and adjust code to tackle conflicts. Backed out my
        code in Assign::Resolve ;-) 

2001-09-08  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        (CSharpParser::Lexer): New readonly property to return the reference
        to the Tokenizer object.
        (declare_local_variables): Use Report.Error with location instead of plain 
        old error.
        (CheckDef): Ditto.

        * class.cs (Operator::CheckUnaryOperator): Move into cs-parser.jay.
        (Operator.CheckBinaryOperator): Ditto.

        * cs-parser.jay (CheckUnaryOperator): Modify to use Report.Error
        (CheckBinaryOperator): Same here.

        * rootcontext.cs (LookupType): Add an extra lookup which simply does a lookup
        on the name without any prefixes of namespace names etc. This is because we
        already might have something already fully qualified like

        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
        a Type.

        (namespace_declarations): Non-reducing rule - comment out.

        * makefile : Update.

        * 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

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.

        (specific_catch_clauses, specific_catch_clause): Ditto.

        (catch_clauses): Modify accordingly.
        (opt_catch_clauses): New production to use in try_statement
        (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.

        DictionaryEntry the same : $1 !!

2001-08-28  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@che.iitm.ac.in>

        (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.

        concatenating all the commas together, just as they appear.
        (opt_dim_separators): 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.

        (array_initializer): Make it a list of variable_initializers
        (opt_array_initializer): Modify accordingly.

        members to hold data about 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

        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>

        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.

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.

        (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'

        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.
