[mono.git] / mono / jit / ChangeLog

2003-01-19  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug.c: Ok, this should now finally be working this time ....

2003-01-18  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug.c (mono_debugger_jit_exec): Send the background thread a
        SIGKILL before returning.

2003-01-17  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * x86.brg: removed duplicated CONV_OVF_I4

2003-01-17  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug.c: Don't use mono_once here.  Reworked the API a bit to
        use `mono_debug_' and `debug_' for the general debugging API and
        `mono_debugger_' and `debugger_' for the Mono Debugger stuff.

2003-01-16  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug.c (debugger_thread_func): We don't need to `raise
        (SIGSTOP)' anymore; the thread manager already takes care of this.

2003-01-16  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * exception.c (arch_handle_exception): exclude runtime invoke
        wrapper from the stack trace

        * jit.c (mono_cfg_new): allocate extra space to store esp (used by exceptions)
        (mono_thread_start_cb): save an additional LMF at thread start

2003-01-16  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * jit.c (mono_runtime_install_handlers): Use SYS_sigaction() for
        the mono_thread_get_abort_signal () - this is SIGUSR1 on FreeBSD
        and the LinuxThreads port doesn't allow you to override the handler.
        [FIXME: This avoids an assertion failure on startup, but there's
        still an issue with thread termination.]

2003-01-16  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug.c (debugger_thread_func): We don't need to `raise
        (SIGSTOP)' anymore; the thread manager already takes care of this.

2003-01-16  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug.c: Use the mono/io-layer functions here instead of gthread.

2003-01-14  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * jit.c (mono_jit_compile_method):  make sure runtime_init is called 
        (mono_analyze_stack): make sure runtime_init is called

2003-01-14  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug.c (debugger_update_symbol_file_table): Moved all the
        functionality into debugger_update_symbol_file_table_internal();
        the latter one will be called from the background thread while
        already owning the lock.  This'll allow us to step into
        debugger_update_symbol_file_table() in the debugger and debug it.

2003-01-14  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * Makefile.am: Link against gthread.

        * jit.c: After realizing that mono-mutex doesn't work either
        because it doesn't support recursive mutexes on FreeBSD, rewrote
        the whole thread stuff to use gthread.  This seems to fix this
        weird deadlock in the debugger as well.

2003-01-12  Alp Toker  <alp@atoker.com>

        * exception.c: Typo fix: insinde -> inside

2003-01-08  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * exception.c (ves_icall_get_frame_info): skip one more frame and also
        MONO_WRAPPER_RUNTIME_INVOKE wrappers
        (x86_unwind_native_frame): disable unnecessary assertion

2003-01-07  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * exception.c (ves_icall_get_frame_info): fix bug 36382

Tue Jan 7 15:15:41 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * jit.c: handle wrapper_data in NEWOBJ/CALL.

2003-01-07  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * jit.c (mono_analyze_stack): add check for NULL target in STFLD

2003-01-06  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug.c (debugger_finished_mutex): Use a recursive mutex here.

        * debug.c: Correctly handle the `debugger_finished_mutex'; it is
        only unlocked by the pthread_cond_wait() in mono_debugger_wait().

2003-01-04 Jackson Harper <jackson@latitudegeo.com>

        * debug.c: Move must_send_finished var declaration out of #if win32
        block (this fixes the build on win32)

2003-01-05  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug.c (mono_debugger_jit_exec): Custom version of mono_jit_exec();
        this is used when we're running inside the Mono Debugger 
        (mono_debugger_wait): Put the waiting code into a function of its own.

        * mono.c (main): Call mono_debugger_jit_exec() instead of
        mono_jit_exec() if we're running inside the Mono Debugger.
        
2003-01-05  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug.h (MonoDebugFormat): Added
        `MONO_DEBUG_FORMAT_MONO_DEBUGGER'; this allows us to check whether
        we're running inside the Mono Debugger prior to the args parsing.

2003-01-04  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug.c (release_symbol_file_table): Only call this if we're
        actually modifying the symbol tables.
        (mono_debug_open): Always set the `mono_debugger_class_init_func'
        for MONO_DEBUG_FORMAT_MONO; this stuff should also go into core dumps.

2003-01-03  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug.c: Disable the mono debugger stuff on Windows.

2003-01-03  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug.c (mono_debugger_trampoline_breakpoint_callback): New
        function.  This is called from the breakpoint trampoline to signal
        the debugger and wait until it has reload the symbol tables.

        * trampoline.c (get_breakpoint_trampoline): Call the new
        mono_debugger_trampoline_breakpoint_callback() in the breakpoint
        trampoline just before the breakpoint.

2002-12-31  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug.c (MonoDebuggerSymbolFileTable): Added `global_symfile'
        field to point to the MonoGlobalSymbolTable.

2002-12-30  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug.c (MonoDebuggerInfo): Put back `symbol_file_modified'.
        This variable now specifies that the symbol tables have been
        modified after the last notification has been send.  The debugger
        uses this flag to check whether it needs to reload the symbol
        tables or not.
        (debugger_compile_method): Just send a notification to the
        debugger, but don't set the modified flag.  It may or may not be
        set when the debugger gets the notification - depending on whether
        the JIT compilation added a new method to the symbol tables.

2002-12-30  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug.c (debugger_compile_method): This is a wrapper around
        mono_compile_method() which always sends a notification to the
        debugger.

2002-12-30  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug.c: Reload the symbol file table before sending the
        notification event to the debugger.
        (MonoDebuggerInfo): Removed `update_symbol_file_table'.

2002-12-31  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug.c: Propertly lock everything and avoid race conditions.
        (MonoDebuggerInfo): Removed the `symbol_file_modified' again.

2002-12-31  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * debug.c (initialize_debugger_support): Fix build error by
        declaring ret at the top of the function.

2002-12-30  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug.c: When running under the mono debugger, create a special
        debugger thread; always protect the symbol tables with a mutex.

2002-12-28  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug.c (MonoDebuggerInfo): Added `symbol_file_modified'; it's
        incremented each time one of the symbol tables is modified.

Thu Dec 19 18:31:54 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * jit.c: fix LDELEMA implementation here as well.

Wed Dec 18 11:42:58 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * jit.c: handle CEE_CONV_OVF_U8_UN like CEE_CONV_OVF_I8_UN.

Wed Dec 18 11:36:04 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * jit.c: query the thread abort signal from the runtime.

2002-12-12  Juli Mallett  <jmallett@FreeBSD.org>

        * jit.c: If SIGRTMIN is not defined, fall back to SIGUSR1.

2002-12-11  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * jit.c (mono_analyze_stack): call the utility function 
        mono_field_from_token to avoid code duplication.

2002-12-02  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * jit.c (mono_analyze_stack): added some additinal checks to verify IL code

        * x86.brg (stmt): POP floating point stack correctly

2002-11-28  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * emit-x86.c (arch_emit_prologue): don't save caller saved
        registers twice.

        * exception.c (x86_unwind_native_frame): support exceptions inside
        native code using gcc generated exception tables (-fexception).

2002-11-19  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * exception.c: include some code from Zoltan Varga, but modified
        it slightly.

2002-11-27  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * exception.c: massive code cleanups. The code is still
        architecture dependent, but it should be now possible to reuse the
        complex parts for other architecture.

2002-11-15  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * jit.c: Pass the attach callback to mono_runtime_init().

2002-11-12  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * jit.c: display the domain name in trace output.

2002-11-08  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * x86.brg (reg): fix bug #2721

        * jit.c (mono_runtime_install_handlers): impl.

2002-10-17  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug.c (mono_debug_add_method): Make this actually work if we don't
        have any lifetime information.

2002-10-15  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * jit.cs (PUSH_TREE): Always set t->cli_addr here.

        * debug.c (generate_line_number): Small fix to make this actually
        work for more complex things.

2002-10-11  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * x86.brg (freg): use fprem instead of fprem1

2002-10-03  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * jit.c (ves_array_element_address): added check for out of range index
        (mono_analyze_stack): added fix for bug #31654

2002-10-01  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug.c: Don't create an .il file for the dynamic symbol file.

2002-10-01  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug.c (MonoDebuggerInfo): Added mono_runtime_invoke().

2002-09-27  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug.c (debug_load_method_lines): Don't use sigaction() on win32.

2002-09-27  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * mono.c: Tell glib what the program name is, by passing it the
        name of the managed file we're executing

2002-09-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * trampoline.c (x86_magic_trampoline): Don't insert the breakpoint
        trampoline into the vtable, also use it for non-virtual methods,
        remove the breakpoint when done.

2002-09-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug.c (debug_load_method_lines): Block SIGCHLD while running
        monodis.

2002-09-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug.c: Reworked the whole debugging stuff.  We have now one
        single `mono_debug_handle' which keeps a hashtable of
        `AssemblyDebugInfo's (which may have different debugging formats).
        The AssemblyDebugInfo is now created when the assembly is loaded,
        but never when adding a class/type.

        * mono.c: Initialize debugging stuff after corlib and the assembly
        have been loaded.

2002-09-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-private.h (DebugLineNumberInfo): Removed.  There's now a
        MonoDebugLineNumberEntry type in debug-mono-symfile.h which we're
        using instead of it.
        (DebugMethodInfo): Removed `line_numbers'.

        * debug.c: Reworked the line number generation; we're now using
        the MonoDebugLineNumberEntry try for all debugging formats.  This
        type also includes the line number and IL offset, this allows the
        JIT to produce better line number info: we only emit line number
        information for source lines which actually have code.

2002-09-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug.h: Removed external declaration of all functions which
        should only be called from the Mono Debugger and also made them
        static.  Since the debugger gets their address from the
        `MONO_DEBUGGER__debugger_info' vtable, there's no need to export
        these functions.

2002-09-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        Improved breakpoint support, we can now dynamically insert and
        remove breakpoints at runtime and when called from withing the
        Mono Debugger, we're using a special breakpoint trampoline.

        * debug.h (mono_method_has_breakpoint): New method to check
        whether to insert a breakpoint for a method.
        (mono_insert_breakpoint): New method to insert a breakpoint.
        (mono_insert_breakpoint_full): New method to insert a breakpoint,
        takes a MonoMethodDesc.
        (mono_remove_breakpoint): New method to remove a breakpoint.

        * debug.c (mono_debugger_insert_breakpoint): New function for the
        debugger.  Should only be called from the debugger.
        (mono_debugger_remove_breakpoint): Likewise.

        * mono.c (main): Use mono_insert_breakpoint() to insert breakpoints.

        * trampoline.c (get_breakpoint_trampoline): New static function to
        create a special breakpoint trampoline for the debugger.
        (x86_magic_trampoline): If we're running inside the Mono Debugger
        and a breakpoint was requested for the method, generate a special
        breakpoint trampoline.

        * jit.c (mono_debug_methods): Removed, use mono_insert_breakpoint()
        to insert a breakpoint.
        (mono_debug_last_breakpoint_address): Removed.
        (match_debug_method): Removed, use mono_method_has_breakpoint().

Wed Sep 25 12:04:08 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * jit.c: reorder mono_runtime_cleanup () call since it needs the
        engine still fully working.

2002-09-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug.c (mono_debug_open): When we're invoked from inside the
        Mono Debugger, set mono_debugger_class_init_func (exported in
        metadata/class.c) to mono_add_type().
        (mono_add_type): Call mono_debug_symfile_add_type().

Tue Sep 24 11:34:02 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * jit.c: avoid including cil-coff.h (again). Optimize typeof (type).
        Run finalize on domain cleanup.
        * mono.c: call setlocale ().
        * trampoline.c: clearer error message for invalid trampoline.

2002-09-21  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug.c (MonoDebuggerSymbolFileTable): Use an actual typedef for this
        instead of writing a byte blob.
        (mono_debug_make_symbols): This doesn't touch the symbol tables anymore.
        (mono_debug_add_method): Incrementally add the new method to the symbol
        table.

        * exception.c (arch_handle_exception): If we have debugging support,
        call mono_debugger_update_symbol_file_table () as well.

2002-09-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug.c (mono_debug_add_method): The `MonoDebugVarInfo' now includes
        the size of the variable.

2002-09-18  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * linear-scan.c (mono_analyze_liveness): we can save 30% of needed
        iterations if we visit blocks in reverse order.

2002-09-12  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * jit.c (mono_analyze_stack): cleaup of the array code

        * exception.c: added patch from Julio Merno to fix bug #30048

        * jit.c (mono_analyze_stack): code cleanup, fix bug #29365

2002-09-09  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * x86.brg (LDELEMA): use x86_lea 

2002-09-06  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug.c (debug_update_il_offsets): Fixed a memory corruption bug.
        If you were getting random crashes when using the JIT with debugging
        turned on, this fixes it.

2002-09-06  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * emit-x86.c (arch_emit_epilogue): use pop instead of mov

2002-09-05  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug.c (MONO_DEBUGGER__debugger_info): New global data symbol
        which is read by the debugger.

Wed Sep 4 14:06:09 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Makefile.am: link libmono directly into mono. Use a ld script
        to reduce exported symbols.

2002-09-03  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug.c (free_method_info): Make this actually work.

2002-09-03  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug.h (MonoDebugFormat): Killed MONO_DEBUG_FORMAT_DWARF2_PLUS.
        * debug-dwarf2-plus.c: Removed.

        * debug-private.h (DebugMethodInfo): Removed the `method_info' field.
        (AssemblyDebugInfo): Removed the old `symfile' field and renamed
        `mono_symfile' to `symfile'.

        * debug.c (mono_debug_open): Replaced the assembly argument with a
        file name argument; you can now call this before loading the assembly.
        (debug_generate_method_lines): The MonoDebugILOffsetInfo struct is gone,
        we now use MonoSymbolFileLineNumberEntry's and a separate address array
        instead; splitted out all MonoSymbolFileLineNumberEntry code into
        debug_generate_il_offsets() and debug_update_il_offsets().
        (mono_debug_add_method): Don't create the MonoDebugMethodInfo here; it's
        created when reading the symbol file or from debug_load_method_lines().
        (debug_load_method_lines): Create the MonoDebugMethodInfo for all methods.

        * exception.c (arch_handle_exception): Call mono_debug_make_symbols() before
        looking up an address.

        * debug.c: Don't create the .il files for MONO_DEBUG_FORMAT_MONO.

        * mono.c (main): Initialize debugging before loading the first assembly.
        
2002-08-28  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * mono.c: mono_set_rootdir() doesnt take any args now

        * Makefile.am: Export HOST_CC for w32 builds

2002-08-28  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * jit.c (mono_store_tree): only allocate vars if really necessary

2002-08-27  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug.c: The mono symbol file is installed together with the assembly
        it belongs to and it's used on a per-image basis.

Tue Aug 27 19:44:32 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mono.c: don't use the cil-coff header outside of the loader.

2002-08-27  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug.c (mono_debugger_internal_get_symbol_files): Removed, we need
        to use global variables for this since they're stored in a core file.
        (mono_debugger_symbol_file_table_generation): New global variable.
        (mono_debugger_symbol_file_table): New global variable.
        (mono_debugger_update_symbol_file_table): New global function to update
        the symbol file table.

2002-08-27  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * trampoline.c (mono_generic_trampoline_code): New global variable.
        (arch_create_jit_trampoline): Use the new global variable to store the
        generic trampoline code instead of using a static one.  This allows the
        debugger to access this variable to check whether a method is a trampoline.

        * debug.h (mono_generic_trampoline_code): Added external declaration.

2002-08-27  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug.c (MonoDebugHandle): Moved the method hash into the
        AssemblyDebugInfo struct since we need to use a separate hash for each
        MonoImage.

        * debug.c: Added special undocumented command line argument to create a
        symbol file for IL files on-the-fly.  In this case, we also need to create
        the IL files and parse them.
        (mono_debugger_internal_get_symbol_files): Return something more reasonable.

2002-08-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug.c (mono_debugger_internal_free_symbol_files): New function.
        (mono_debugger_internal_symbol_files_changed): New global variable.

2002-08-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug.c (mono_debugger_internal_get_symbol_files): New function.

2002-08-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        in backtraces.

        * debug.h (MonoDebugFormat): Added a new MONO_DEBUG_FORMAT_MONO
        which will be used when displaying backtraces.  It reads a new
        binary symbol file.

        * x86.brg (mono_llmult_ovf): Simplified the code greatly by refactoring
        the algebraic form we are using.  This also eliminated a silly overflow
        of the intermediate result that was causing troubles.

        * x86.brg (LOCALLOC): under Windows, if allocation size is bigger
        than one page, it's necessary to allocate memory incrementally,
        in page-size steps, performing stack-touch every time.
        Also added LOCALLOC(CONST_I4) implementation.

        * x86.brg (stmt): use memmove to cope with overlapping

        * debug-dwarf2-plus.c (mono_debug_open_assembly_dwarf2_plus): Use the new
        public mono_jit_compile_image() function rather than duplication this
        functionality here.

        * debug-dwarf2-plus.c: This is now working again :-)

        * debug.c (mono_debug_open_file): When using MONO_DEBUG_FORMAT_DWARF2_PLUS,

2002-05-21  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        Work around a hard-to-fix bug in GDB and create a single dwarf/stabs
        file for all assemblies.  Currently, the JIT doesn't put all methods
        from a single assembly into a continuous region of memory.  We were
        previously creating valid DWARF 2 files for this, but unfortunately
        GDB's symbol tables get messed up when it reads more than one such file.

        * debug-private.h (AssemblyDebugInfo): Moved `f', `producer_name',
        `next_idx', `methods', `type_hash', `source_files' and `format'
        into the MonoDebugHandle.

        * debug.c (mono_debug_get_type): This now operates on the MonoDebugHandle,
        not on the AssemblyDebugInfo.

2002-03-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * x86.brg (lreg: CONV_I8 (reg)): X86_XOR modifies the flags, so we need
        to do it before the X86_CMP.
        (reg: CLT (lreg, lreg)): Use correct x86_branch8() targets.
        (reg: CLT (lreg, lreg)): Likewise.

        * debug.h (MonoDebugFormat): Added MONO_DEBUG_FORMAT_DWARF2_PLUS.

        * debug-dwarf2-plus.c: This debugging format reads a symbol file which has
        been created by MCS and fills in all machine dependent stuff.

        * debug-private.h (DebugMethodInfo): Added `MonoDebugMethodInfo method_info',
        removed everything which is already in MonoDebugMethodInfo.

        * debug.c (debug_generate_method_lines): Generate the MonoILOffsetInfo array.
        (mono_debug_make_symbols): Don't open the file or call as, this is done in the

        base types.

        * debug-dwarf2.c: Added support for strings and arrays.

2002-03-17  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug.c (mono_debug_get_type): Recursively call this for all function members
        of a class type.
        (mono_debug_add_method): Don't mangle function names, this must be done by the
        debugger backend if the debugging format needs mangled names.

        * debug-dwarf2.c: Improved support for classes, added member functions.

2002-03-16  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug.c (MonoDebugFormat): New public enums specifying which debugging
        format to use.
        (mono_debug_open_file): Added MonoDebugFormat argument.
        (mono_debug_make_symbols): Don't take an argument to make it easier to call
        this function from GDB. It's now safe to call this function multiple times;
        it'll always write a complete debugging file.

        * debug.c: Splitted this file into a general part which remains in this file
        and the debugging format specific parts debug-stabs.c and debug-dwarf2.c.
        All public functions now call a corresponding format specific function.

        * debug.c: The following changes are private to debug.c:
        (AssemblyDebugInfo, MonoDebugHandle): Moved declarations to debug-private.h.
        (record_line_number, debug_generate_method_lines): New private functions.
        (mono_debug_open_ass): Renamed to mono_debug_open_assembly; this function now
        calls a debugging-format-specific function (mono_debug_open_assembly_stabs or
        mono_debug_open_assembly_dwarf2).
        (mono_debug_make_symbols): Calls mono_debug_write_assembly_stabs/dwarf2(). It's
        now safe to call this function multiple times.
        (mono_debug_get_type): New public function. This takes a `MonoClass *' and
        returns an unique index for this type. It's used to ensure that we only write
        each class once to the debugging file.
        (mono_debug_add_method, mono_debug_add_type): Store all the data in an internal
        data structure, but don't directly write to the debugging file. This is done
        later from mono_debug_write_assembly().

        * jit.c (main): Added "--dwarf" command line argument to generate DWARF 2
        debugging output. Call mono_debug_close() on cleanup if necessary.

2002-03-14  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-private.h: New private header file.

        * debug-stabs.c: Added the stabs type generation stuff which was
        previously in debug.c.

        * debug-dwarf.c: Started to implement type support. We're currently
        only writing this most basic types to the dwarf file, but this will
        change soon.

2002-03-13  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-stabs.c, debug-dwarf2.c: New files containing my new
        debugging code. They're now in CVS, but not yet used anywhere.

2002-03-11  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * emit-x86.c (mono_delegate_ctor): use C impl. instead of x86_*
        macros, included new delegate code from Daniel Stodden. 
        
        
Mon Mar 11 14:47:21 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * jit.c: verify that corlib and runtime are in sync.

Mon Mar 11 11:30:56 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * emit-x86.c, jit.c: use the debug-helpers facilities to
        describe and match a method when debugging.

2002-03-10  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * emit-x86.c (arch_compile_method): When emitting stabs debugging
        output, put a nop instruction at the start of all functions so that
        the adresses won't change when using --debug.

        * debug.c (mono_debug_add_method): `tree->cli_addr' is an offset into
        the bytecode area, stabs needs a line number in the .il file. Use the
        new info->moffsets to get the line number.
        (AssemblyDebugInfo): Added `total_lines' and `moffsets' fields.
        `moffsets' is an array of `total_lines' fields (total number of lines
        in the .il file); for each line in the .il field, this array contains
        the bytecode offset if it's an "IL_xxxx" line, -1 if it's the last line
        of a method and 0 otherwise.
        (debug_load_method_lines): Read the whole .il file and initialize the
        info->moffsets field.

2002-03-09  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * x86.brg (DIV_UN): Clear EDX before performing the division and remove
