        information which is rarely used, thus is not in the MonoMethod
        structure.

        * reflection.h (MonoDynamicAssembly): New field 'method_aux_hash' to
        store the aux info.

        * reflection.c (mono_methodbuilder_to_mono_method): Store param names
        and marshalling info into the aux structure.

2003-10-21  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * socket-io.c
        (ves_icall_System_Net_Sockets_Socket_Select_internal): Applied
        patch from Laramie Leavitt moving divide out of loop. (Bug 45381).

2003-10-21  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_bind_generic_parameters):
        `klass->parent' is NULL for interfaces.

2003-10-21  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c (create_typespec): Added MONO_TYPE_VAR and MONO_TYPE_MVAR.

        * exception.c: Simplify functions using the new helper.

        * exception.h exception.c (mono_get_exception_cannot_unload_appdomain):
        New function.

        * object.h object.c: Remove G_GNUC_NORETURN from the signature of
        mono_raise_exception, since otherwise gcc doesn't generate the function
        epilog for raise_exception, confusing the stack unwinding in the JIT.
        Fixes #45043.

        * rawbuffer.c (mono_raw_buffer_load_mmap): Map mmap-ed memory with
        PROT_EXEC. This seems to prevent segmentation faults on Fedora Linux.

        * class.c (inflate_generic_signature): Renamed to
        mono_class_inflate_generic_signature() and made it public.
        (my_mono_class_from_generic_parameter): New static function; if we
        don't already have the generic parameter's MonoClass, create a
        very simple one which is just used internally in the runtime and
        not passed back to managed code.

        * class.h (MonoGenericInst): Added `gpointer mbuilder' field.

        * metadata.h (MonoMethodSignature): Moved the
        `MonoGenericParam *gen_params' to the MonoMethodHeader.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_MethodInfo_GetGenericArguments): Renamed to
        ves_icall_MonoMethod_GetGenericArguments(); this is now an
        interncall on the MonoMethod class, not on MethodInfo.
        (ves_icall_MethodInfo_BindGenericParameters): Removed, we're now
        calling mono_reflection_bind_generic_method_parameters() directly.

        type parameters.

        * reflection.c (mono_image_get_memberref_token): Allow
        MEMBERREF_PARENT_TYPEDEF here; this will be used in the MethodSpec
        table.
        (fixup_method): Added support for MONO_TABLE_METHODSPEC.
        (mono_image_create_token): First check whether it's a generic
        method (so we'd need to create a MethodSpec), then do the other
        two alternatives.
        (mono_reflection_bind_generic_method_parameters): Return a
        `MonoReflectionMethod *' instead of a `MonoMethod *'; we're now
        called directly from the interncall.

        * reflection.c (load_public_key): Move loading of the public key
        into managed code.

        culture, hash_alg and public_key. Fixes #49555.

2003-10-17  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_type_equal): Two types of
        MONO_TYPE_VAR or MONO_TYPE_MVAR equals if they have the same
        index; ie. don't compare the address of the `MonoGenericParam'
        structure.
        (mono_metadata_load_generic_params): Removed the `MonoMethod
        *method' argument.

        * metadata.h (MonoGenericInst): Moved declaration to class.h.
        (MonoMethodHeader): Added `MonoGenericInst *geninst'.

        in the MethodSpec table for a generic method.
        (mono_image_get_methodspec_token): New static function.
        (mono_image_create_token): Call mono_image_get_methodspec_token()
        for generic methods.
        (mono_reflection_bind_generic_method_parameters): New public
        function.  Instantiates a generic method.

2003-10-16  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * metadata.h (MonoMethodSignature): Moved `MonoGenericParam
        *gen_params' here from MonoMethodHeader.

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_parse_method_signature): If we have
        generic parameters, initialize `method->gen_params' and then set
        the correct `type->data.generic_param' in all the parameters.

2003-10-16  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * threads.c (mono_threads_get_default_stacksize): New function to 
        return the default stacksize.

        * gc.c (mono_gc_cleanup): Use a separate event for waiting for the
        termination of the finalizer thread, since the previous method had
        race conditions. Fixes #49628.

        * gc.c (mono_gc_init): Use the same stacksize for the finalizer thread
        as for the other managed threads.

        mono_class_from_generic_parameter() and moved most of the
        functionality from mono_reflection_define_generic_parameter()
        here; ie. we create a "real" class here.
        (mono_class_from_mono_type): Only allow MONO_TYPE_VAR and
        MONO_TYPE_MVAR if mono_class_from_generic_parameter() has
        previously been called.

        * class.c (mono_class_init): Don't create `class->methods' if it's
        already initialized.

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_load_generic_params): Make this
        actually work.

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_define_generic_parameter): Set
        parent class and interfaces from the constraints.

        * reflection.h (MonoReflectionGenericParam): Added `guint32 flags'
        to keep this struct in sync with the declaration in TypeBuilder.cs.

2003-09-17  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * metadata.h (MonoType): Replaced the data's `int type_param'
        field with `MonoGenericParam *generic_param'.
        (MonoGenericParam): Added `MonoClass *klass'.

        * class.c (mono_class_from_gen_param): Removed the
        `MonoImage *image' and `int type_num' arguments.

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_parse_generic_param): New static
        method; creates a MonoGenericParam which just contains the index.
        (do_mono_metadata_parse_type): Call
        mono_metadata_parse_generic_param() for MONO_TYPE_VAR and
        MONO_TYPE_MVAR.

        * reflection.c (mono_image_typedef_or_ref): Generic type
        parameters may be in the same assembly, but never use a typedef
        for them.
        (mono_reflection_define_generic_parameter): We're now creating a
        "real" class for the type parameter; it's now safe to call
        mono_class_from_mono_type() on the class'es type, it'll do the
        right thing.

2003-09-16  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.c (allocate_symbol_file_entry): Initialize
        `symfile->range_entry_size' and `symfile->class_entry_size' here;

        namespaces in order to avoid doing many string comparisons.

        * image.h: Fix typo.

        * image.c class.c rawbuffer.c reflection.c threads.c verify.c domain.c:
        Pass NULL instead of g_direct_equal to the GHashTable constructor 
        since the NULL case is short-circuited inside g_hash_table_lookup, 
        leading to better performance.  

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_custom_attrs_from_index): New function to
        obtain the first custom attribute for a given index. Depends on the
        CustomAttribute table being sorted by the parent field.

        * reflection.c (mono_custom_attrs_from_index): Use the new function 
        for better performance.

2003-09-07  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_init): If we're a generic instance, inflate
        all our methods instead of loading them from the image.
        (mono_class_from_generic): Set `class->methods = gklass->methods'.

2003-09-07  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.c: Added support for constructors.

2003-09-06  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

2003-09-04  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c (mono_type_size): Added MONO_TYPE_VAR and MONO_TYPE_MVAR.

        * reflection.h (MonoReflectionGenericParam): New typedef.

        (mono_reflection_create_runtime_class): Encode generic parameters.
        (mono_reflection_setup_generic_class): New function; this is
        called after adding adding all generic params to the TypeBuilder.
        (encode_type): Added MONO_TYPE_VAR.

        (bernard@ugsolutions.com).

        * reflection.c: Endianness fixes from Bernie Solomon 
        (bernard@ugsolutions.com).

2003-08-30  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Web_Util_ICalls_get_machine_install_dir): 
        (ves_icall_System_Configuration_DefaultConfig_get_machine_config_path):
        Avoid caching the result since strings must be domain specific. Fixes
        #48050.

2003-08-29  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_init): Make this callable multiple times
        since it is hard to find a correct place to call it.

        * object.c (mono_runtime_class_init): Execute static constructors in
        the correct appdomain.

        * image.c (build_guid_table): Handle the case when multiple images have
        the same GUID.

2003-08-29  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: added a couple of icalls for System.Web.

2003-08-28  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_Type_BindGenericParameters): Use
        `klass->generic_inst' instead of `&klass->byval_arg' in the
        mono_type_get_object() call.  The returned type must be
        MONO_TYPE_GENERICINST and not MONO_TYPE_CLASS.

2003-08-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * NOTES: New file.

        * pedump.c: Fix warning.

        * object.c appdomain.h: Get rid of metadata_section.

        * pedump.c (main): Call mono_metadata_init(),
        mono_raw_buffer_init(), mono_images_init(), mono_assemblies_init()
        and mono_loader_init().

2003-08-26  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * loader.h: Add missing include to fix build.

        * image.h: mono_image_load_references is no more.

        * assembly.c: Reworked assembly loading to make it really thread safe.
        After these changes, the assembly returned by mono_assembly_open is
        fully initialized, i.e. all its references assemblies are loaded.

        * assembly.c (mono_image_load_references): Renamed to 
        mono_assembly_load_references, and made private, since clients no
        longer need to call it.

        * class.c: Removed calls to mono_assembly_load_references, since it was
        a source of deadlocks.

        * loader.h loader.c class.h class.c: Protect data structures using a 
        new lock, the loader lock.

        * class.c (mono_class_setup_vtable): Create temporary hash tables and
        GPtrArrays only when needed.

        * class.c (mono_class_layout_fields): Ignore the dummy field inserted 
        into empty structures by mcs. Fixes pinvoke7.cs.
        
        * domain.c (mono_init): Call a new initialization function.

        * appdomain.c (mono_runtime_init): Call the new initializer function
        of the marshal module.

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_load_type_info): Ignore the dummy field
        inserted into empty structures by mcs. Fixes pinvoke7.cs.

        * marshal.h marshal.c: Added locks around the wrapper caches to make
        this module thread safe.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_InternalInvoke): Method wrappers doesn't require a
        this argument. Fixes pinvoke1.exe.

2003-08-25  Lluis Sanchez <lluis@ximian.com>

        * object.h: Added call_type field to MonoMethodMessage and the corresponding
        enumeration of values. Removed fields to store remote call output values in
        MonoAsyncResult. Not needed any more.
        * object.c: Initialize call_type and async_result fields in mono_message_init.
        * marshal.c: mono_delegate_begin_invoke(): for proxies, set call_type before
        dispatching the message.
        mono_delegate_end_invoke (): delegate to the proxy the work of waiting for the
        async call to finish. To do it use a message with EndInvoke call type.

2003-08-25  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * loader.h loader.c (mono_method_hash_marhal_info): New function which
        determines whenever a method has marshalling info.

2003-08-23  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * object.cs: Fixed bug #47785.

2003-08-22 Jackson Harper <jackson@latitudegeo.com>

        * string-icalls.c (StringReplace): If their are no occurances of
        the old string found return a reference to the supplied
        string. This saves some memory and matches MS behavoir.
        
2003-08-22  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * socket-io.c: fixed compilation for systems that define AF_INET6
        and don't define SOL_IP/SOL_IPV6.

2003-08-21  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * object.c (mono_object_isinst): Fix casts to TransparentProxy in

        the references of an assembly are not yet loaded.

        * metadata.c image.c assembly.c: Moved initialization of global
        variables to a separate function called at startup since lazy 
        initialization of these variables is not thread safe.
        
        * image.c assembly.c: Made this module thread safe by adding locks in 
        the appropriate places.

        * domain.c (mono_init): Call the new initialization functions of the
        three modules.

2003-08-20  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c: mono_delegate_begin_invoke(): If the target is a proxy,
          make a direct call. It is proxy's work to make the call asynchronous.
          mono_delegate_end_invoke(): If the targe is a proxy, just collect
          the return values.
        * object.cs: mono_method_call_message_new(): read AsyncResult and
          state object from parameters list, if this info is requested.

        * loader.h: portability fix by Bernie Solomon
        * <bernard@ugsolutions.com>.

2003-08-16  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * reflection.h reflection.c (mono_param_get_objects): Changed this to 
        return a MonoArray. This simplifies the code and also ensures that
        the cache allways contains an object reference as a value.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_get_parameter_info): Simplified using the new
        function.

2003-08-16  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * socket-io.c: patch by Bernie Solomon <bernard@ugsolutions.com> that
        fixes a problem with byte ordering when getting the address family for
        a socket.

2003-08-15  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * .cvsignore: Added monosn.

        * reflection.h reflection.c loader.c: Added support for parameter
        marshalling to dynamically created types. Fixes #47295.

        * rand.c: remove useless warnings.

Wed Aug 13 15:49:57 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: implemented ldtoken for methods and fieldrefs.

2003-08-11  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: when mono_async_invoke was called, no one took care of
        monitoring the queue. So if the method invoked took some time and we
        got new async invoke requests after 500 ms (the thread created waited
        that long in WaitForSingleObject), the new async invoke was not called
        until the previous one finished.

        This is fixed now. Thanks to Totte for helping with it.

2003-08-11  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: set threadpool_thread to TRUE. Patch by totte.

        * mono-debug-debugger.c: Don't store the MonoString's vtable to
        make this work for applications with multiple application domains.

2003-08-04  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.c: Completely reworked the type support; the
        most important thing is that we're now just using one single
        `MonoType' instance per type.

Sat Aug  2 13:05:27 BST 2003 Malte Hildingson <malte@amy.udd.htu.se>

        * mono-endian.h, mono-endian.c, icall.c: Added icall
        ves_icall_System_Double_AssertEndianity to assert double word endianity
        on ARM (FPA). The icall uses a macro defined in mono-endian.h.

Fri Aug 1 16:51:13 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c, class.h, reflection.c, metadata.c, icall.c: more generics
        support, icalls and fixes.

2003-07-31  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * unicode.c (ves_icall_System_Char_IsPunctuation): The set of
        classes that are a punctuation character in .NET is not the same a
        g_unichar_ispunct.

Tue Jul 29 18:07:08 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * socket-io.c: ipv6 portability fixes from Felix Ortga (guile@lared.es).

2003-07-29  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: Add new MemCopy internalcall.
        (ves_icall_System_Reflection_Assembly_GetManifestResourceInternal):
        Simplified code; It is not necessary to handle all the cases here,
        as the C# code takes care of it.  Only handle the case of the name
        resource embedded into the assembly.

        Changed signature to return the data pointer and the size of the
        data. 

2003-07-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c (mono_image_get_method_info): Allow for 0x40 to be
        encoded.        (Partition II.22.1.7: PInvokeAttribute:SupportsLastErr).

2003-07-29  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

          doesn't have the mehod, look at the parent of the parent.
        * object.c: mono_message_init(): use the attribute PARAM_ATTRIBUTE_OUT
          to check if a parameter is an in or out parameter
          (PARAM_ATTRIBUTE_IN is not set by default).
          mono_method_return_message_restore(): Use mono_class_value_size to
          get the size of a value type. mono_type_stack_size (parameterType)
          does not return the correct value if parameterType is byRef.
          mono_load_remote_field(), mono_load_remote_field_new(),
          mono_store_remote_field(), mono_store_remote_field_new():
          raise exception if the remote call returns an exception.

2003-07-28  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.c (mono_debugger_runtime_invoke): New
        method.  This is a wrapper around mono_runtime_invoke() which
        boxes the instance object if neccessary.

Fri Jul 25 19:14:13 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c, class.h, image.c, image.h, loader.c, metadata.c,

2003-07-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * object.c (mono_runtime_class_init): Take the metadata_section
        mutex before obtaining the domain mutex.

        * appdomain.h: Added definition of metadata_section mutex here. 

        * object.c: define metadata_mutex here.

2003-07-24  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: Remove the FIXED_MCS_45127 workarounds - this has been
        fixed.

2003-07-23  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * class.c: Fixes from Paolo in response to bug #45415 (Subclass
        relationship between TypeBuilders while compiling corlib) and bug
        45993 (Array types returned from the runtime while compiling
        corlib were from the loaded corlib).

2003-07-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.c: Reworked the type support a bit more;
        distinguish between types and classes.

          empty array if the type is an array. Fixed.
          ves_icall_MonoMethod_get_base_definition: if the base method
          is abstract, get the MethodInfo from the list of methods of
          the class.
        * reflection.c: ParameterInfo.PositionImpl should be zero-based
          and it was 1-based. Fixed in mono_param_get_objects.

2003-07-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

2003-07-17  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * socket-io.c: Get system_assembly using mono_image_loaded(), instead

        not available on all plattforms

2003-07-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * image.h image.c: Store the metadata version string in MonoImage.

2003-07-08  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c: modified comment.
        * gc.c: finalizer_thread can call finalizers even when finished == TRUE.
        That will be its last iteration when mono_gc_cleanup is called from
        mono_runtime_cleanup and before the domain is unloaded.

        Fixes bug #45962.

Thu Jul 3 17:17:39 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.c, object.h: provide mono_object_new_fast() for faster
        allocation in some special cases.

Wed Jul 2 13:21:26 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.h, reflection.h, verify.c: fixes for some 64bit issues,
        mostly from a patch by Laramie Leavitt <lar@leavitt.us>.

Tue Jul 1 21:24:14 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        Fixes bug 45321.

Wed Jun 25 18:12:29 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: in mono_array_class_get (), lookup from the hash with the
        same type we insert: this works around a bug in
        mono_metadata_type_hash() with SZARRAY and fixes a leak reported by
        lluis. The real fix will have to wait for after the release.

Wed Jun 25 13:14:41 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * file-io.c: File attributes need to be tweaked slightly when
        passed from the managed to the w32 world.

2003-06-17  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>
        * profiler.h profiler-private.h profiler.c: Rework last patch
        based on suggestion by Paolo.

        instrumentation.

        coverage profiling API.

2003-06-15  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_create_runtime_class): Add support
        for events in dynamically generated code.

        * gc.c: Start GCHandle indexes from 1, since 0 means the handle is
        not allocated.

Sat Jun 14 19:01:32 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: when getting timezone info, return reasonable values if we
        can't get the actual data.

2003-06-14  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c (start_wrapper): Remove the reference to the thread
        object in the TLS data, so the thread object can be finalized.
        This won't be reached if the thread threw an uncaught exception,
        so those thread handles will stay referenced :-( (This is due to
        missing support for scanning thread-specific data in the Boehm GC
        - the io-layer keeps a GC-visible hash of pointers to TLS data.)

Sat Jun 14 13:16:17 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: ensure streams and tables are first allocated with
        ALLOC_ATOMIC (GC_realloc uses plain GC_malloc otherwise).

        * icall.c: fixed GetElementType for byrefs (bug# 44792).

2003-06-13  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_create_runtime_class): Add support for
        properties to dynamically created classes.

        * gc.c (mono_gc_init): Avoid error message on shutdown when
        GC_DONT_GC=1 is used.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Reflection_Module_GetGuidInternal): 
        New icall to return the GUID of a module.

Mon Jun 9 19:33:51 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: ensure instance size always includes the parent's size
        even whem class size is set explicitly (fixes bug#44294).

Thu Jun 5 19:51:49 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * profiler.h, profiler.c: made the simple profiler thread-safe,
        get more accurate timing info. Allow the loading of an
        externally-developed profiler module.

        * appdomain.c
        (ves_icall_System_AppDomainSetup_InitAppDomainSetup): fix for bug 42934

        * loader.c (mono_lookup_pinvoke_call): look for modules in the
        current directory (fix bug 44008)

2003-06-03  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_native_wrapper): started support for
        custom marshalers.

        parts of the class libs (like System.Thread) holds pointers to
        GC_MALLOC()-d memory in IntPtrs, which is wrong. The workaround is
        to treat native int a pointer type here.
        
Tue May 20 17:18:16 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.h, domain.c: add hashtable for jump target resolution.

        * gc.c: Don't run finalizers when the finalizer thread is
        finishing up, because the default domain has already been

        the right one is 'file:///blah', but MS allows it.
        * assembly.c:
        (mono_assembly_open): allow 'file://blah'

        Fixes bug #40306. Thanks to Mitko Iliev (imitko@openlinksw.co.uk).

        object as return type.

2003-03-22  Pedro Martínez Juliá  <yoros@wanadoo.es>

        correctly.

        * class.h class.c: Move the supertypes array initialization code into 
        a separate function so it can be used for dynamic types too. Also call
        it earlier, in mono_class_init(), since it can be used before the
        type is initialized.

2003-03-16  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Makefile.am:
        * assembly.c:

2003-03-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.c (mono_marshal_load_type_info): Fix buglet:  Noticed when
        fixing a warning for a miss-used prototype, would have cause
        random memory corruption.

2003-03-07  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_free_array): That "TESTFREE %p" was
        getting really annoying ....

2003-03-07  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * reflection.c (fixup_method): added support for array methods.

Tue Mar 4 18:03:27 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * socket-io.c:  handle case when AF_INET6 and AF_IPX are not defined
        (pointed out by Michael Adams).

2003-03-04  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: Temporarily reverted the Double and Single ToString()
        change, because it broke nunit.

Tue Mar 4 12:40:58 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.h, threads.h: make include files compatible with C++
        (patch by Jerome Laban <jlaban@wanadoo.fr>).

2003-03-04  Pedro Martínez Juliá  <yoros@wanadoo.es>

        * icall.c: Erased ToString helper functions for Double and Single.
        Now, that implementations ar all in managed code (Double and Single
        Formatters).

2003-03-03  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ideary.com>

        * appdomain.c: Added method for initializing the default context of
        a domain. Added internal call for getting the default context.
        * appdomain.h: Added context variable in MonoDomain struct.
        * domain.c: mono_domain_set also sets the default context of the domain
        * icall.c: Mapped internal method InternalGetDefaultContext.
        * object.c: mono_object_get_virtual_method returns always a remoting
        wrapper if the object is a transparent proxy.
        mono_runtime_invoke_array: when creating an object by calling the
        constructor, if the created object is a proxy, then the constructor should
        be called using the a remoting wrapper.

2003-03-03  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * socket-io.c (create_sockaddr_from_object): Rename sockaddr_un
        variable so it compiles on solaris.  Problem spotted by
        Christopher Taylor <ct@cs.clemson.edu>

2003-03-01  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c:
        (get_info_from_assembly_name): don't leak value.

        * icall.c:
        (ves_icall_System_Reflection_Assembly_GetFilesInternal): initialize
        result.

Sat Mar 1 15:32:56 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c: export mono_image_load_references ().
        * class.c: handle function pointers. mono_class_from_name() now
        supports nested type names directly.

2003-02-28  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * reflection.h reflection.c: Encode already created dynamic methods 
        and fields correctly as a DEF instead of a REF.

        * reflection.c: Get rid of the force_ref argument to 
        mono_image_typedef_or_ref since it was wrong in the first place.

        * string-icalls.c: add error checking to string constructors according
        to the MSDN docs.

        * reflection.c: Emit types in the order their TypeBuilders were 
        created. Previously, a new table index was assigned to each type before
        the tables were emitted. This was wrong because the signature blob
        might already refer to a type by its original table index.

2003-02-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_nesting_typedef): fix bug in previous
        change.
        
2003-02-27  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

2003-02-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>  

        * metadata.c metadata.h (mono_metadata_nesting_typedef): changed to
        iterate over the NESTEDCLASS table using a linear search since the
        table is not guaranteed to be sorted by the secondary key.

        * class.c (mono_class_create_from_typedef): fixed up call to
        mono_metadata_nesting_typedef.
        
2003-02-27  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_string_to_byvalstr): clear the memory as
        suggested by Jerome Laban <jlaban@wanadoo.fr>

2003-02-26  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * process.c: Cope with padding in .rsrc blocks

2003-02-26  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * metadata.h: reverted the filter_len change, it breaks reflection
        
2003-02-26  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * metadata.h: added a new field to store the filter_len
        

Tue Feb 25 10:56:16 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: handle custom attributes for types and members
        created with Reflection.Emit (bug#38422).

2003-02-21  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * object.h icall.c process.c: fix warnings.

2003-02-21  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * appdomain.h appdomain.c:
        (mono_domain_try_type_resolve): split the 
        name_or_tb argument into a name and a tb argument.
        (mono_domain_has_type_resolve): new function to check whenever the
        application has registered a TypeResolve event handler.
        
        * icall.c reflection.h reflection.c: move the type resolve logic into
        mono_reflection_get_type () so it will be invoked when 
        Assembly::GetType () is called.

        * reflection.c:
        (mono_reflection_get_type): renamed to get_type_internal.
        (mono_reflection_get_type): fixed type name generation so it works 
        for nested types too.
        (mono_reflection_get_type): call has_type_resolve () to avoid the 
        costly type name generation if there is no resolve event handler.

Fri Feb 21 11:36:57 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c, image.c: load exported types from file references.

2003-02-19  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ideary.com>

        * appdomain.h: Added in MonoDomain a couple of MonoMethod* variables
          used to cache the managed methods used to create proxies and make 
          remote invocation of methods.
        * class.h: Added in MonoVTable a flag to indicate that a class needs 
          to be remotely created.
        * object.c: Modified the method mono_class_vtable(). It now initializes 
          the remote flag of the vtable. Modified mono_object_new_specific(), 
          so now it checks the remote flag.
        * icall.c: Added a couple of internal methods, one for enabling instance 
          creation interception for a type, and one for creating objects bypassing
          the remote check.

2003-02-18  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug-mono-symfile.c (ves_icall_MonoDebugger_GetMethodToken):

2003-02-17  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c:
        (assembly_name_to_aname): jump over unknown properties (i've found
        something like: 'type, assembly, version=xxx, custom=null, public...',
        so now will ignore custom=null and still get the rest of the values).

2003-02-17  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c: Have Thread.Start() wait for a semaphore to signal
        that the thread has set up all its local data.  This fixes bug
        34323, where Abort() raced the new thread's TLS data.

        Also removes the handle_store() call from start_wrapper, because
        threads are now always created suspended and there is no longer a
        race between the parent and child threads to store the info.

Mon Feb 17 13:13:31 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * image.c: explain the #- heap issue in a message, hopefully

        AppDomain.

2003-02-16  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * metadata.c, reflection.c: simple speedup to type hash
        and equals code.

Sat Feb 15 15:15:03 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * image.c, image.h, class.c, assembly.c: move module loading
        to MonoImage. When loading metadata, consider alignemnet from
        the start of metadata, not from the metadata address in memory.

2003-02-13  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_get_custom_attrs): Added support for

        a separate function.
        (create_custom_attr): new function to create custom attributes.

2003-02-12  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Makefile.am: Got tired of typing the full pathname to pedump.
        Until there is another option, am installing this.

2003-02-12  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * class.c (class_compute_field_layout): always set field->parent 
        (mono_ldtoken): use mono_defaults.fieldhandle_class;

2003-02-11  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads-types.h:
        * monitor.c: Rewrote Monitor, making lock much faster and
        Pulse/Wait work as specified.  Also uses much fewer handles, and only
        creates them as needed.

        * exception.c: Added SynchronizationLockException

        * threads.c: Deleted old Monitor implementation.  The new one is
        in a new file.

Mon Feb 10 17:54:10 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: handled TypedReference type code. Set the correct size for
        class data. Setup interface_offsets for interface classes, too.

2003-02-09  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug-mono-symfile.h: Reflect latest symbol writer changes.

        "System.Math::Round2".
        * sysmath.h: Added Floor, Round and Round2 definitions.
        * sysmath.c: Modified certain functions that were not 100% compliant
        with MS.NET (math precision) and added the implementation of Floor,
        Round and Round2.

2003-02-07  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug-mono-symfile.c (mono_debug_symfile_add_method): Ignore interncalls.

        of domain
        
        * icall.c: changed icall for AppDomain.Unload to AppDomain.InternalUnload


2003-02-05  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * profiler.c: provide more callers information.

2003-01-28  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_managed_wrapper): generate valid IL code

        * appdomain.h:added fix from Patrik: _MonoAppDomain is a MBR object

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_native_wrapper): generate valid IL code

2003-01-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * icall.c: (ves_icall_System_CurrentTimeZone_GetTimeZoneData): raise an
        exception instead of going into an infinite loop on dates which it 
        can't yet handle.

        * string-icalls.c (ves_icall_System_String_get_Chars): raise 
        out-of-range exception if needed.

        * class.c (mono_class_setup_vtable): allow a virtual method to provide
        an implementation for an interface method and to override an inherited
        method at the same time. 
        Imagine a scenario when a virtual method is used to override a
        virtual abstract method in a parent class, and this same method 
        provides an implementation for an method inherited from an interface. 
        In this case, the interface resolution code will set im->slot, which 
        means that the virtual method override pass will skip this method 
        which means a pointer to the abstract method inherited from the parent
        will remain in the vtable of this non-abstract class.

        * class.c: (mono_class_setup_vtable): continue search for a real 
        method if only an abstract method is found.     

Mon Jan 27 17:12:19 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: add size to encoding for ByValStr and ByValArray
        marshal blob (from "Jerome Laban" <jlaban@wanadoo.fr>).

2003-01-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * class.c (mono_class_setup_vtable): pass the override info as an
        argument.

        * class.c (mono_class_setup_vtable): set the slot of overriding methods
        correctly.
        
        * reflection.c (ensure_runtime_vtable); add support for method 
        overrides.
        
2003-01-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * reflection.c (resolution_scope_from_image): Hack to work to work with
        dynamic assemblies.

        * reflection.c (mono_image_typedef_or_ref): renamed to ..._aux and 
        added a 'force_ref' argument to force this function to allways return 
        a TypeRef. This is needed by mono_image_get_memberref_token ().
        
2003-01-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * reflection.c (mono_image_get_type_info): interfaces really don't have
        a parent.

        * reflection.c (mono_image_basic_init): fill out missing fields of
        image structure.

        * reflection.c (mono_image_basic_init): Invoke assembly load hooks for 
        dynamic assemblies. This is required so dynamic assemblies show up in
        AppDomain.GetAssemblies (), emit an AssembyLoadEvent, gets searched by
        Type::GetType() etc. This is consistent with MS behaviour.

        * image.c image.h reflection.c: add newly created classes to the name 
        cache so mono_class_get () will find them.      

2003-01-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        First part of changes to get IKVM.NET running under mono.
        
        * appdomain.h, appdomain.c: added new function 
        mono_domain_try_type_resolve() which will emit TypeResolve events. 
        This function will call AppDomain::DoTypeResolve to do the actual work.

        * class.h, class.c, loader.c, object.c, reflection.h, reflection.c: 
        moved existing code dealing with dynamic tokens to a new function 
        called mono_reflection_lookup_dynamic_token (). This function will 
        raise TypeResolve events when appropriate. Since reflection.c is not 
        part of libmetadata, a new hook function called 
        mono_lookup_dynamic_token() is added to class.c which will call this.

        * assembly.h assembly.c: make the invoke_load_hook function public,
        so it can be called for dynamic assemblies.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Runtime_CompilerServices_RuntimeHelpers_RunClassConstructor): skip interfaces since they do not have initializers.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_type_from_name): emit a TypeResolve event if the 
        type isn't found.

        * reflection.c reflection.h: change MonoDynamicAssembly.tokens to a 
        MonoGHashTable, since it contains pointers to objects which the GC 
        needs to track.

        * assembly.c (search_loaded): remove unused variable.
        
Mon Jan 27 12:18:45 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.c: fixed issue exposed by gcc-generated IL programs
        that use RVA data for pointers.

2003-01-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * threads.c (start_wrapper): Moved the initialization of
        `start_func' above the mono_new_thread_init() call to which we
        pass it as argument.

2003-01-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * threads.h (MonoThreadCallbacks): Pass the thread ID instead of
        the MonoThread pointer.

2003-01-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: Rename `PowImpl' to Pow.

2003-01-23  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c (start_wrapper): Create a Thread object if needed, so
        the Main() thread can do the class initialisation in a subthread
        that has been set up to allow managed code execution.

        Pass the thread ID instead of the MonoThread pointer to the thread
        start and attach callbacks.  This change is required, because the
        jit thread start callback must be called _before_ the Thread
        object can be created.
        
        (mono_thread_init): Removed much object creation code that is no
        longer needed.  No managed code is called from here now.

        * object.c (mono_runtime_exec_managed_code): Create a subthread
        for Main, and call back to the runtime to use it.
        Set the exit code when Main exits.

        * gc.c: Make sure domain finalisation happens in a subthread.
        Re-enable threaded GC, fixing bug 31333 (again).

        * environment.c: System.Environment internall calls (so far just
        ExitCode is here, the others are still in icall.c)

        * appdomain.c (mono_runtime_cleanup): All threads running managed
        code should have finished before mono_runtime_cleanup() is
        reached, so no need to clean up threads.

2003-01-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.h (MonoThreadStartCB): Added `MonoThread *thread' and
        `gpointer func' arguments.      
        (MonoThreadAttachCB): New typedef; like the old MonoThreadStartCB,
        but added `MonoThread *thread' argument.
        (mono_runtime_init): The last argument is now a MonoThreadAttachCB.

        * threads.c (mono_new_thread_init): Added `gpointer func' argument
        and pass it to the mono_thread_start_cb callback.
        (mono_install_thread_callbacks): New public function to install a
        set of callbacks which are set by the debugger.
        (mono_thread_init): The last argument is now a MonoThreadAttachCB.

2003-01-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * Makefile.am: Install debug-mono-symfile.h.

2003-01-21  Aleksey Demakov <avd@openlinksw.com>

        * marshal.c: fixed copy_from_managed and copy_to_unmanaged for 0 length.

2003-01-21  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * added the following fix from Jackson Harper <jackson@latitudegeo.com>
        * class.c (mono_ptr_class_get): correctly set access levels of pointers
        (mono_array_class_get): correctly set access levels of arrays

2003-01-20      Patrik Torstensson
        * image.h (MonoAssemblyName): changed major, minor, build, revision
        from signed to unsigned.

2003-01-20  sean kasun <skasun@azstarnet.com>

        * reflection.c (load_cattr_value): Now this handles
        MONO_TYPE_SZARRAY.  Fixes bug #35629

2003-01-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (emit_struct_conv): Handle MONO_TYPE_PTR as an
        integer value

2003-01-18  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * decimal.c: fixed bug #26056.

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

        thrown invoking the class constructor.

2003-01-16  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: fixed attribute reading.

2003-01-15  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c:
        (ves_icall_type_from_name): make it work as MS. Ie, if no assembly name
        provided, look for the type in the calling assembly and then in
        mscorlib; if the assembly name is provided, only try that one.

Tue Jan 14 14:52:52 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.c: register the vtable before there is a chance it's
        queried again recursively.

        structures with explicit layout

Fri Jan 10 15:58:09 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * profiler.c: made the output more readable (and sorted). 
        Added caller information for the allocation profiler.

2003-01-09  Sebastien Pouliot  <spouliot@videotron.ca>

        * icall.c, rand.c, rand.h: Prepended RNG functions with Internal.

2003-01-09  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: added ves_icall_System_Activator_CreateInstanceInternal. Used
        to get value types.
        
Thu Jan 9 19:43:11 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.c, profiler.h, profiler.c, profiler-private.h:
        Added object allocation profiler.

        for reference types.

Wed Jan 8 20:11:46 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * loader.c: fixed off by one error in loaded parameter names.

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

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_icall_wrapper): like
        mono_marshal_get_native_wrapper, but simpler and use a MonoMethodSignature
        instead of a MonoMethod.

2003-01-07  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * decimal.c: fixed bug #36537.

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.h: Increment MONO_SYMBOL_FILE_DYNAMIC_VERSION.

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Completely rewrote the type section.
        Instead of using individual malloc()ed fields, we use one big
        continuous memory area and offsets into this area.
        See the comments in the source code for details.

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.h (MonoDebugTypeInfo): Renamed to MonoDebugClassInfo.

        as a boxed return type.

2002-12-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c
        (ves_icall_System_AppDomainSetup_InitAppDomainSetup): Use
        g_build_filename to properly get separators on the filename created.

        * object.h: Small change, introduce MonoMarshalByRefObject to
        track the layout of that structure in the C# universe as we make
        changes there.

Thu Dec 19 16:23:19 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

2002-12-19  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threads.c: fixed the build under cygwin.

Wed Dec 18 18:43:47 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        gc-internal.h from gc.h as to not clash with Boehm GC having its
        header installed as <gc.h> in outside include paths.
        * appdomain.c, gc.c, icall.c, object.c: Account for aforementioned.
        * threads.c: If SIGRTMIN is not defined, fall back to SIGUSR1.

        Added support for running code generated by Reflection.Emit.

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

        * appdomain.c: check for NULL argument in LoadFrom.

2002-12-10  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c: WaitHandle fixes from Tum <tum@veridicus.com>

2002-12-09  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c: fix buglet when building exe file name.  Handle full
        assembly name (needed after latest changes to AssemblyName).
        * image.c:
        (mono_image_close): free some hashtables.

2002-12-05  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * threads.c (ves_icall_System_Threading_Thread_Abort): we use SIGRTMIN 
        instead of SIGUSR1, because SIGUSR1 is used by the pthread implementation 
        on some systems (redhat 7.3) 

Thu Dec 5 16:13:40 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * threads.c: delete the critical section of a sync block,
        spotted and fixed by tum@veridicus.com (Thong (Tum) Nguyen).

Thu Dec 5 12:52:52 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * pedump.c, cil-coff.h, monosn.c: add strong name cli header flag.

2002-12-05  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.[ch]: handle the assembly preload event to try loading the
        assemblies using the paths we have in the current domain.

        * assembly.[ch]: created an assembly preload hook that is called to try
        loading the assembly by other means that the ones provided here.

        * domain.c: initialize the domain search path.

        From now on, assemblies (TODO: except corlib and System) are loaded
        according to these rules when using mono_assembly_load ():

                1. It tries to load the assembly from the ApplicationBase
                of the current domain appending .dll and .exe (TODO: have to
                try loading from name/name.dll and name/name.exe).

                2. It tries the search path specified in PrivateBinPath for the
                current domain (if any).

                3. Previous behavior.

Wed Dec 4 16:02:25 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: implemented GetInterfaceMap() related icall.
        * domain.c, loader.h: load MethodInfo in mono_defaults.

Wed Dec 4 11:02:30 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * gc.c: disable the finalizer thread for now, untill all the issues
        with it are resolved.

Wed Dec 4 10:44:01 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * string-icalls.c: handle embedded nulls in string ctor when the
        length is specified.

Tue Dec 3 19:29:20 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: look for explicit interface implementation in parent
        classes, too.

2002-12-03  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * gc.c (run_finalize): dont run the finalizer (strange behaviour on rh7.3) 

Tue Dec 3 12:40:06 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * gc.c: protect handles with a critical section.

2002-12-02  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c:
        (ves_icall_type_from_name): it now has throwOnError and ignoreCase
        parameters. If no assembly specified, try getting the type from all
        the assemblies in the current domain, else, load the assembly and get
        the type from it.

2002-11-30  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c: applied patch from Aleksey Demakov that fixes
        ves_icall_System_Runtime_InteropServices_Marshal_PtrToStringUni.

2002-11-28  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: fixed get_location.

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

        * icall.c: moved MONO_ARCH_SAVE_REGS to the end of the
        declarations to make it work with older gcc. 

        * loader.c (mono_get_method): set signature->pinvoke for native calls

2002-11-20  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c (mono_thread_init): Set the main thread's handle

Tue Nov 19 14:15:34 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * gc.c: allow compilation without GC support. Changed to match the

Mon Nov 18 16:35:22 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: set a public key token on the core assemblies.

2002-11-18  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c: Split out some thread initialisation so that other
        files can set the start callback function.

        * gc.c: Run finalisers in a separate thread, to avoid stack
        overflow.  Fixes bug 31333.

        * appdomain.c: Set up GC finalisation thread.

        * reflection.c: 
        * object.c: 
        * domain.c: Use gc.h macros for GC_malloc
        
2002-11-15  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: 
        * threads.c:
        * appdomain.c: Removed mono_runtime_init_with_attach(),
        mono_thread_create_arg(), and mono_thread_init_with_attach(), by
        merging the extra parameter with the existing function.  Removed
        unneeded code in mono_thread_attach().

2002-11-14  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * image.c (mono_image_loaded_by_guid): a method to get loaded
        images by guid. 
        (load_metadata_ptrs): we store the guid as string.

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

        * assembly.c (mono_assembly_open): check the guid of aot compiled lib.

        aot compiler. 

2002-11-07  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c: insert the loaded assemblies in the domain->assemblies in
        the hook function called when an assembly is loaded.
        
        * domain.c: Modified file.
        (mono_domain_assembly_load): removed hash table insertion of assemblies.

        Fixes bug #33196.

2002-11-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: Map PEFileKind to the value expected by the WinNT
        image loader. 

2002-11-06  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * rand.c: use /dev/urandom. If it fails to open, use the previous one.
        Read until the buffer is filled completely.

2002-11-04  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: implemented MonoType.InternalGetEvent ().

2002-11-04  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c: implemented InitAppDomainSetup. Delayed
        AppDomain.SetupInformation until mono_runtime_exec_main, where we get
        the entry_assembly.

        * assembly.c: base_dir is now an absolute path ending with
        G_DIR_SEPARATOR.

        * icall.c: modified get_location according to the above changes.

        * object.c: init AppDomain.SetupInformation for the default domain after
        we have the entry assembly.

        * domain.c: when unloading a domain, setup = NULL.

2002-11-04  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (emit_ptr_to_str_conv): try to fix bug 29548

Sun Nov 3 15:39:28 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.h, object.c: introduced mono_object_get_virtual_method ()
        to lookup the method invoked on an object when a callvirt is done on
        a method.
        * icall.c: make MethodInfo::Invoke() always do a virtual call.

2002-11-03  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c: invoke AssemblyLoad and AsemblyResolve events in the
        current domain when loaded an assembly and failed to load it.

        * icall.c: changed ...Assembly_GetType to Assembly_InternalGetType.

2002-10-31  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: 
        * file-io.h: 
        * file-io.c: Return the error status in a parameter, as the
        GetLastError() value has long since been blown away if we try and
        look it up in a subsequent internal call invocation.  Delete the
        GetLastError() internal call, because it's useless.

2002-10-31  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * class.[ch]: added cast_class to fix bug 29517

Wed Oct 30 19:37:32 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c: create valid IL code in the filter clause:
        the new JIT is less forgiving:-)

2002-10-29  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: removed get_property internal call.

2002-10-25  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * appdomain.h domain.c: Added an ID to appdomains.
        
        * threads.c threads.h icall.c: Implement icall
        Thread:GetDomainID(), and remove unused icall 
        CurrentThreadDomain_internal.

2002-10-24  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: Don't recurse through the base types in GetConstructor.
        Fixes bug #32063. 

Thu Oct 24 16:56:00 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mempool.h, mempool.c: added mono_mempool_empty() and
        mono_mempool_stats().

2002-10-23  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * file-io.c: 
        * file-io.h: 
        * icall.c: Added MonoIO.GetFileType internal call

2002-10-17  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c (mono_runtime_cleanup): Don't signal the async
        delegate semaphore before waiting for all threads to finish,
        because new threads can also call async delegates.  Fixes bug
        32004.

        * threadpool.c (async_invoke_thread): Only wait for 500ms instead
        of 3 seconds, in case another async job is queued.  (This part is
        needed because the bug fix reintroduced the 3s exit lag.)  This
        makes the mono_runtime_shutdown flag superfluous.

Thu Oct 17 13:11:39 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: include ehader size in method section headers.
        Really check for suplicated modules entries.

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Added back support for locals.

2002-10-14  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Added MONO_TYPE_I, MONO_TYPE_U and
        MONO_TYPE_VOID.

2002-10-14  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-mono-symfile.c (ves_icall_MonoDebugger_GetType): Use
        mono_class_get() instead of looking in the class cache. 

2002-10-13  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Set version number to 28, include the
        signature in method names.

2002-10-13  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-mono-symfile.h: Set version number to 27.

2002-10-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * gc.c: Don't register/unregister NULL pointers as disappearing links.

Thu Oct 10 14:56:51 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c, metadata.h: added helper function to allocate signatures.

2002-10-09  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: added internal call to get the location of machine.config.

2002-10-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Ignore classes with a pending init for the
        moment.

2002-10-03  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c: Freebsd pthread_t is a pointer

2002-10-03  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * socket-io.c: Implemented GetHostName_internal

2002-10-02  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * mono-config.c:
        (mono_config_parse_file): don't leak the text.

2002-10-02  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Added support for methods.

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Don't emit methods and line numbers for
        the dynamic symbol file, just write the type table.  We can easily
        have an external helper program which creates a symbol file for an
        IL file.        

2002-10-01  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c (ves_icall_System_Threading_Thread_Start_internal):
        Only add the handle to the cleanup array when we're about to
        launch the thread.  Bug 31425 deadlocked when the test was run on
        mono under w32.

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Added support for properties.

Fri Sep 27 18:55:01 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: unaligned store fix from Mark Crichton
        <crichton@gimp.org>.

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

        * icall.c ("System.Reflection.Assembly::GetReferencedAssemblies"):
        New interncall.

Fri Sep 27 15:38:31 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * assembly.h, assembly.c: use a sane API to hook into the assembly
        loading process instead of a useless special-purpouse hack
        (ngen needs a hook, too, for example).

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

        * threads.c (mono_thread_init): Call GetCurrentProcess() so
        io-layer can set up some process handle info.  Not needed on w32,
        but doesn't hurt either.

        * process.c: Pass the program name in the second parameter to
        CreateProcess, so the path is searched.  Include the working
        directory. Implemented process name, process enumeration, and some
        process detail internal calls.
        
        * icall.c: Added internal calls for process lookup, and some
        process details

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

        * assembly.c (mono_install_open_assembly_hook): New global
        function to install a function to be invoked each time a new
        assembly is loaded.
        (mono_assembly_open): Run this callback function if set.

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Put back line numbers for the dynamic
        symbol file and also record the .il file as source file.  This
        allows us to install the temporary symbol file as `file.dbg' just
        like a compiler-generated one.

2002-09-26  Nick Zigarovich <nick@chemlab.org>

        * Corrected typo in gc.c (BOHEM vs BOEHM).

2002-09-25  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: fixed bug #31235 by copying a few lines from GetMethods to
        GetProperties. Also avoid calling g_slist_length in GetProperties and
        GetMethods.

Wed Sep 25 22:18:03 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: avoid unaligned stores (bug spotted by
        Mark Crichton  <crichton@gimp.org>).

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.h (MonoSymbolFileMethodAddress): Use pointers
        instead of guint64 for addresses and added prologue/epilogue info.

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.h (MonoDebugLineNumberEntry): New type to
        store line number info.  For the dynamic symbol file, we only need
        to provide the JIT generated dynamic line number info for the dynamic
        symbol file.

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.h: Incremented version number.

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

        * class.c (mono_debugger_class_init_func): New global function
        pointer variable.
        (mono_class_init): If mono_debugger_class_init_func is non-NULL,
        call it.

        * debug-mono-symfile.c (mono_debug_symfile_add_type): New
        function.  This is called via the mono_debugger_class_init_func
        hook to add all types to the dynamic type table.
        (ves_icall_MonoDebugger_GetType): New interncall to get a class
        from its metadata token.

        * icall.c ("System.Reflection.Assembly::MonoDebugger_GetType"):
        New interncall for the debugger.

2002-09-24  Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Enum_ToObject): validate the type parameter
        before using it in case it is null.
        
Tue Sep 24 13:24:56 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c: allow custom modifiers in local var signatures
        (bug spotted by Zoltan Varga).

Tue Sep 24 12:12:16 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: deal with the <Module> class that may have a NULL vtable.
        Eliminate warnings.

Tue Sep 24 11:28:46 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * image.c, image.h: more strong name helpers.
        * monosn.c: more work: convert pem keys to cryptoapi format.

Tue Sep 24 11:27:38 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * string-icalls.c: speedup IndexOf.

Tue Sep 24 11:17:13 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: updates from Zoltan.2.Varga@nokia.com.

Tue Sep 24 11:09:17 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: cleanup: use mono_object_domain ().

2002-09-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Improved type support.

2002-09-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Largely reworked the symbol table format.
        The symbol table is now incrementally updated each time a new
        method is added.  We're now also using our own magic and version
        so that you don't need to recompile all your classes if the
        dynamic table changes.
        (mono_debug_update_mono_symbol_file): Removed.
        (mono_debug_symfile_add_method): New function to add a method.

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

        ("System.Reflection.Assembly::MonoDebugger_GetLocalTypeFromSignature"):
        New interncall.

        * debug-mono-symfile.c (ves_icall_MonoDebugger_GetLocalTypeFromSignature):
        New interncall to get a method from its metadata token.

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

        New interncall.

        * debug-mono-symfile.c (ves_icall_MonoDebugger_GetMethod): New
        interncall to get a method from its metadata token.

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Added a few checks for method->header
        being non-NULL.  This should never happen, but for the moment
        let's use a g_warning() rather than a g_assert().

2002-09-19  Mark Crichton  <crichton@gimp.org>

        * gc.c: ves_icall_System_GCHandle_FreeHandle made a call to libgc
        even if support for it isn't present.  Added an #ifdef to fix this.

        * socket-io.c: Added checks back for Solaris support.

2002-09-19  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-mono-symfile.c (read_string, write_string): Reflect latest

        on netbsd.  Fixes bug 30051.

2002-09-17  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c:
        (set_version_from_string): little fix.

Mon Sep 16 18:57:13 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * monosn.c, Makefile.am: added strong name utility.
        * reflection.h, reflection.c: implemented delayed signing,
        locale, version and hash id assembly attributes.

Mon Sep 16 18:51:47 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * loader.c, metadata.c: load param attributes in signatures.

        * image.c, image.h: added functions to get the strong name and the
        public key of an assembly.
        * pedump.c: use them.

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

        * marshal.c (emit_str_to_ptr_conv): support marshalling of delegates.

2002-09-12  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_managed_wrapper): Added
        MONO_TYPE_BOOLEAN 

2002-09-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * gc.c: Call GC_unregister_disappearing_link() on all links when
        finalizing them, this is necessary to aviod a crash in boehm's
        finalize handler.

Wed Sep 11 17:06:49 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * gc.c: handle GetTarget for finalized objects spotted and fixed by

Tue Sep 10 11:58:46 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.h, class.c: move field layout code to it's own function and
        export it. Get an interface id earlier. Move fields in MonoClass
        so they are more cache friendly and align the bitfields.
        * loader.c: temporary handle get_param_names() for a runtime method.
        * reflection.c, reflection.h: more code to handle runtime creation of
        types.

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

        apropriate.

        Store running thread objects in a hash table, so that we have all

        open it read-only and to use a specially malloced area for all the
        dynamic data.  We can now also generate a symbol file on-the-fly if we're
        debugging IL code and there is no MCS generated symbol file for it.

Mon Aug 26 16:47:37 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.c: added a define for a good string and array

        function to update the symbol file.  The symbol file is mmap()ed
        writable, but private.  This allows us to install the symbol file
        together with the assembly.

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.[ch]: New files.  Similar to debug-symfile.[ch]

        types to it and to SetValueInternal.

        * object.c: Moved handle_enum label to its proper place. This was the
        f... bug! ;-)

        This time i compiled mcs and gtk-sharp and they both work.

2002-08-23  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: reverted partially my previous patch until

        (ves_icall_get_parameter_info): s/MonoMethod/MonoReflectionMethod/

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_remoting_invoke): save lmf, because
        we call unmanaged code which throws exceptions.

        because g_log has a 1024 characters limit (yeah, i got a big stack

        returned string.

        * object.c:
        (mono_print_unhandled_exception): after previous commit, i realized
        that MS calls ToString on the exception. I changed this function to

        * object.c:
        (mono_print_unhandled_exception): invoke Message property instead of

2002-07-16  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (emit_ptr_to_str_conv): first impl.

Tue Jul 16 12:39:33 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.c, class.h: cache the vtable in the class as suggested by
        vargaz@freemail.hu (Zoltan Varga).

Tue Jul 16 11:27:57 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.h, loader.c: added mono_field_from_token().

2002-07-13  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@gnome-db.org>

        * reflection.[ch]: 
        (mono_reflection_type_from_name): now it has a MonoImage parameter
        which is used as the default image to search the type in. If the image
        is NULL or getting the type from it fails, it defaults to corlib.

        * icall.c: changed 1 call to mono_reflection_type_from_name to match
        new parameter.

Sat Jul 13 19:32:19 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        call ExitThread()

2002-07-08  Radek Doulik  <rodo@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c (method_encode_code): use non-translated values to
        compute finally_start, this fixes exception handling on ppc, yay!

2002-07-07  Radek Doulik  <rodo@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: swap box_val and not val

2002-07-04  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c (mono_thread_cleanup): Nasty kludge to get this to
        compile on mingw.  This will cause mingw builds to not wait for
        subthreads to terminate after the main thread does.  I've lodged a
        bug with the mingw developers for them to wrap OpenThread().

2002-07-03  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c: Store thread IDs instead of handles, because
        GetCurrentThread() returns a pseudohandle and therefore stores
        useless values.  mono_thread_cleanup() continues checking the
        array of threads until it is empty, to cope with subthreads
        spawning new threads after the main thread has finished.

        * profiler.h:
        * profiler.c:
        * profiler-private.h: Pass the thread ID to thread profiler
        functions, instead of a handle

        * debug-symfile.c: Reflect latest MonoDwarfFileWriter changes.

2002-06-27  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c: Store the handle in both the parent thread and in the
        subthread, to minimise the time between starting a new thread and
        storing its ID.

2002-06-26  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c (mono_runtime_cleanup): Close the socket library
        after all the threads have finished, not before

2002-06-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-symfile.c (mono_debug_find_source_location): Added
        `guint32 *line_number' argument.  If it's not NULL, store the line number
        there and return the file name without the line number.

2002-06-25  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * icall.c:
        * process.h:
        * process.c: Process forking and other support functions

2002-06-25  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * image.c (do_mono_image_open): Set ref_count to 1, so that bad
        things dont happen when the image is closed.
        (mono_image_lookup_resource): Walk the resource section looking
        for a particular entry

        * cil-coff.h: PE resource section decoding

Tue Jun 11 16:52:19 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.h, reflection.c: mono_image_get_memberref_token()
        takes a type instead of a class, now. Added
        mono_image_get_array_token() to create tokens for the special
        multi-dim array methods.

Tue Jun 11 13:21:51 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c: handle modules (no assembly table). Split
        loading references in its own function.

        * debug-symfile.c (ves_icall_Debugger_MonoSymbolWriter_method_from_token):
        The first argument is now a `MonoReflectionModuleBuilder *', the return
        value is a `MonoReflectionModuleBuilder *'.  Use the AssemblyBuilder's
        `methods' field to get the method builder.  The `token' argument is the
        unfixed token.

        * unicode.c (iconv_get_length, iconv_convert): Silently ignore all
        invalid characters instead of g_assert_not_reached()ing.  This seems
        to be the behaviour of mscorlib.

        * object.c (mono_runtime_invoke_array): applied patch from Rachel
        Hestilow to fix bug #25104

        * object.c (mono_ldstr): Fixed to use mono_string_chars() macro
        rather than mono_array_addr() on a MonoString on Big Endian

        pointer now.

        * threads.c: Added Thread_free_internal, to deal with thread
        handle cleanup.  Moved calls to handle_store() and handle_remove()
        to start_wrapper(), so each can only be called once.  Allocate
        synchronisation blocks with GC_malloc(), and use GC finalisation
        to close the handles.

        mcs selfhosting again (build breaker) and did move the check to class instead. parent is
        allowed to be null when it's System.Object class setup.

2002-04-27  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_setup_internal_class): g_assert_not_reached()

2002-04-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * assembly.c (default_assembly_name_resolver): Use G_FILE_TEST_IS_REGULAR
        instead of G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS - if you're in mcs/class/corlib/System/Test,
        there's a subdirectory called `System', but we don't want to read that
        subdirectory as an assembly.

2002-04-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-symfile.c: Reflect latest MonoString changes.

Thu Apr 25 16:38:01 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * rand.c, rand.h: instance method icalls need to have an explicit
        this pointer as first argument in the C implementation.

2002-04-25  Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * icall.c: Fix typo in map for GetNonZeroBytes

        Implemented replace methods.
        Renaming of methods to (try) follow the standard.
        Fixed compare ordinal
        Made all memory allocated directly to function instead of via icall function.
        Small performance fix in is_in_array function
                        
 (2002-04-23) Changes from Duncan Mak <duncan@ximian.com>

        c (mono_string_Internal_ctor_charp_int_int):
        (mono_string_Internal_ctor_sbytep_int_int):  Removed check for
        sindex < 0, throw ArgumentOutOfRangeException instead of
        ArgumentNullException.

        Added new check for length == 0, however
        I need to make it return String.Empty from the C code.
        
        (mono_string_Internal_ctor_sbytep): Use mono_string_new, and let
        that calculate the length for us here.
        
        (mono_string_Internal_ctor_sbytep_int_int): Replaced
        mono_string_new_utf16 with mono_string_new, since value is utf8.

        * icall.cs: win32 GetNow() and GetTimeZoneData() implementations
        (the latter needs testing and more complete impl. from win32 folks).

        * object.c: mono_array_new_full workaround mono_array_class_get
        problem.

        * metadata.c: compare also the retuns type when comparing signatures:
        we didn't do this as an optimization since really overloaded methods
        must differ also in the arguments, but this doesn't work with
        low-level IL code (or when using explicit conversion operators: see
        bug#23498 for an example).

Fri Apr 19 16:14:52 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: handle enumerations when writing to the constant
        table. Use a different object cache for types.

        * appdomain.c (mono_domain_transfer_object): impl. hack for Arrays
        and String - but we will need generic marshalling support in the
        future. 
        (mono_init): set the domain name in a ms compatible way

        * object.c (mono_string_new_utf16): bug fix: use char[] instead of

        endian (i.e. 64bit value & 0xffffffff --> 32bit value)
        (ves_icall_System_Enum_ToObject): and likewise for s1 > s2

        * unicode.c (ves_icall_iconv_new_encoder): decide on big_endian,
        force big_endian to be 1 for big endian machines 
        (ves_icall_iconv_new_decoder): ditto

        * socket-io.c (convert_sockopt_level_and_name): If the system
        doesn't define SOL_IP or SOL_TCP, get them by hand using
        getprotobyname() and caching the values (because this could be a
        slow operation).
        (ves_icall_System_Net_Sockets_Socket_SetSocketOption_internal):
        Use the appropriate struct when the system does support it. Ie,
        not all systems have struct ip_mreqn so use struct ip_mreq when
        appropriate.

        truth statement in the for-loop.

        * unicode.c (iconv_convert): Got rid of a compiler warning about
        int i being unused when the system has a new iconv.
        (iconv_get_length): Same.

        * image.c (load_class_names): Cast the second argument to
        g_hash_table_insert() to char* to hush compiler warnings about the
        arg being a const.
        (mono_image_open): Same here.

        * socket-io.c: Don't conditionally include sys/filio.h or
        sys/sockio.h here anymore since we now get them from
        io-layer/io-layer.h
        (inet_pton): If the system doesn't support inet_aton, implement
        using inet_addr and also #define INADDR_NONE if it isn't defined
        by the system.

Thu Feb 14 19:01:06 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        of a typedef.
        * reflection.h, reflection.c: handle field RVA data. Save info about

        * socket-io.c (convert_sockopt_level_and_name): ifdef
        SO_ACCEPTCONN because it is not defined on my system (old debian)

        * socket-io.c: conditionally include sys/filio.h and sys/sockio.h
        for FIONBIO, FIONREAD and SIOCATMARK.
        (ves_icall_System_Net_Dns_GetHostByAddr_internal): SunOS doesn't
        define INADDR_NONE and besides, inet_addr() is deprecated and
        should not be used. Use inet_pton() instead - it also has the
        added bonus that it can easily handle IPv6 addresses as well.
        (inet_pton): Implement using inet_aton() ifndef HAVE_INET_PTON.

        code.

Wed Feb 13 18:25:55 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_appdomain_get_default_assemblies): put this
        code back.  This should return the assemblies that are loaded by
        the runtime on behalf of an application domain. 

        The current implementation is still broken, it just returns every
        assembly loaded, but until we get real applications domain this
        will do.

2001-12-04  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * object.c (mono_object_allocate): removed static, so that the jit
        can allocate value types.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_DateTime_GetNow): impl.

Mon Dec 3 17:02:01 CET 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: init enum types right away and register the
        token->MonoClass map in mono_class_create_from_typedef ().
        * verify.h, verify.c: first cut of the verifier.
        * pedump.c: add --verify switch to verify metadata tables.

        add mono-endian.c back

        * mono-endian.c: returned back, as Paolo pointed out, it's needed
        for unaligned access, I've mistaked it with endianess. I am
        sorry.
        (mono_read16): fix reverted endianess
        (mono_read64): ditto
        (mono_read32): ditto

        interp.

2001-11-29  Radek Doulik  <rodo@ximian.com>

        * object.c (mono_ldstr): swap bytes here, it's probably not the
        best place, but works for me now, I'll redo it once I know mono
        better, also note that I add PROT_WRITE and don't reset back, also
        note that it's only affects big endians, so x86 should be OK

        * mono-endian.h (read16): use just glib macros for both endians

        * mono-endian.c: removed as glib macros are used in in
        mono-endian.h so we don't need to care about endianess for read
        macros as glib does that for us already

Thu Nov 29 18:20:58 CET 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.h, class.h: take minimum alignment into consideration so

        a single file that uses the new wrapper library

Mon Nov 19 11:37:14 CET 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c, class.h: add mono_install_trampoline() so that the runtime
        can register a function to create a trampoline: removes the ugly
        requirement that a runtime needed to export arch_create_jit_trampoline.
        * object.h, object.c: added mono_install_handler() so that the runtime
        can install an handler for exceptions generated in C code (with
        mono_raise_exception()). Added C struct for System.Delegate.
        * pedump.c: removed arch_create_jit_trampoline.
        * reflection.c: some cleanups to allow registering user strings and
        later getting a token for methodrefs and fieldrefs before the assembly
        is built.
        * row-indexes.h: updates and fixes from the new ECMA specs.

Thu Nov 15 17:44:49 CET 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        to get index in the constant table reated to a field, param or
        property.
        * reflection.h, reflection.c: handle constructors. Set public-key and
        version number of the built assembly to 0.
        * row-indexes.h: update from new ECMA spec.

Wed Nov 14 19:26:06 CET 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: rename my_mono_new_object() to my_mono_new_mono_type()
        since it's used to do that. Added mono_type_type_from_obj().
        Make GetType() return NULL instead of segfaulting if the type was not
        found. Handle simple arrays in assQualifiedName.
        * object.h: add a struct to represent an Exception.
        * reflection.c: output call convention in method signature.
        Add code to support P/Invoke methods and fixed offsets for fields.

        * decimal.c, decimal.h: mono_double2decimal() get the sign bit from
        the value.
        * icall.c: use mono_array_addr instead of array->vector: fixes the
        reflection image writing.
        * reflection.c: init call convention byte to 0 in method signature.
        Encode the property signature. Don't output property-related methods
        twice. Really process the properties for a type (don't cast a field to
        a property, my mom always told me that).
        Fix 64 bit issues in pointer alignment in a different and more
        readable way.

2001-11-10  Sean MacIsaac  <macisaac@ximian.com>

        * loader.h: Removed type class from MonoDefaults, added monotype

        * loader.c: Loaded MonoType, removed loading of Type

        * icall.c (my_mono_new_object): Now returns a System.MonoType,
        and fills in System.Type._impl with a RuntimeTypeHandle rather
        than the actual MonoClass *

        (ves_icall_type_from_handle): change from type_class to
        monotype_class

        Changes to match the new MonoArray structure.
        * object.h, object.c: an array object doesn't allocate an extra

        MonoString instead of MonoObject.
        * reflection.c, reflection.h: updates for changes in the reflection
        code in corlib: we use C structures that map to the actual C# classes.
        Handle SZARRAYs when encoding types. Handle locals in methods. Use a
        fat method header if needed and use the info from the ILGenerator for
        methods. Handle fields in types. Misc fixes.

2001-10-12  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_metadata_init): use a temporary vtable (the
        old algorithm only worked for the interpreter, but not for the jit)

2001-10-11  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * loader.c (method_from_memberref): use mono_class_get to get the

        fundamental MonoTypes when the class represents a
        fundamental type (System.Int32, ...).
        The TypeHandle return by ldtoken is a MonoType*.
        * icall.c: ves_icall_get_data_chunk () write out all the
        PE/COFF stuff. Implement ves_icall_define_method (),

        avoid a race condition.
        
        * threads-dummy.h:
        * threads-dummy.c: Dummy calls for the LocalDataStoreSlot operations

Thu Sep 27 21:45:55 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

Thu Sep 27 19:52:11 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c, loader.c: warn and return NULL instead of erroring out.
        * icall.c: added System.AppDomain::getCurDomain().

        internalcalls.

2001-09-23  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads-dummy.c:

        System.Threading.Thread::Start_internal

        * Makefile.am: Added new files, and PTHREADS_LIBS to the link line

        * loader.c: work around the different signatures for delegates
        constructors csc generates in compiled code vs the ones compiled in mscorlib.

Tue Sep 18 13:16:32 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

Mon Aug 27 12:17:17 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * loader.c, metadata.c, metadata.h: Export mono_metadata_type_equal().
        We don't need a MonoMetadata pointer anymore to compare signatures in
        mono_metadata_signature_equal (), update callers.
        Reduced memory usage an number of allocations for MonoMethodHeader and
        MonoMethodSignature.

Sun Aug 26 23:03:09 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c: added compare for szarray.

Sun Aug 26 11:34:24 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.h, class.c, loader.h, loader.c: export mono_class_from_mono_type ()
        and add a couple more types to it and mono_defaults. Give an hint on
        classes that need implementing in our corlib and are referenced
        in mscorlib.

Sat Aug 25 12:52:54 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.h, class.c: keep track if a class is also an Enum.
        * loader.c: Implement a couple more types for use in libffi
        marshalling. Gives better diagnostics when failing to dlopen
        a library. Set method->klass for P/Invoke methods, too.

Fri Aug 24 19:30:25 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c, class.h: add a MonoType this_arg to MonoClass that
        represents a pointer to an object of the class' type that
        can be used by the interpreter and later the type cache.
        Add best guess alignment info for valuetype objects.

Fri Aug 24 15:50:31 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.h, metadata.c, class.h, class.c: squeezed MonoParam
        into MonoType: one less level of indirection and allocation and
        simplifies quite a bit of code. Added cache for MonoTypes that are
        used frequently, so that we don't need to allocate them all the time.

2001-08-24  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_create_from_typedef): System.Enum is also a
        value type, although it does not derive from System.ValueType
        (maybe a bug in the ms compiler?)

        * metadata.c (mono_type_size): return the right size for value types

        * loader.c (mono_get_method): only initialize method header if not abstract

        * class.c (mono_class_from_mono_type): use mono_default values. 

2001-08-23  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * class.h: new flag: metadata_inited.

        * class.c (mono_class_metadata_init): impl.
        (mono_class_instance_size): impl.
        (mono_class_data_size): impl.

Wed Aug 22 16:27:30 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c, loader.h, loader.c, image.h, image.c, class.h, class.c:
        MonoClass now has the name and name_space fields. 
        MonoMethod has a pointer to its MonoClass, instead of MonoImage.
        mono_get_method () takes and optional MonoClass as argument.
        Removed mono_typedef_from_name() and added mono_class_token_from_name()
        instead that takes advantage of a map from class names to typedef
        tokens in MonoImage.

Tue Aug 21 18:54:58 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c: zero is not a valid alignment boundary.
        Merge MONO_TYPE_VOID in default decoding code.

2001-08-21  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * image.h: merged MonoMetadata into MonoImage

        error and one LAMESPEC. Handle MONO_TYPE_TYPEDBYREF.
        add explanation for the locator routine.
        Fix decoding of size in method header.
        
2001-08-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c    (g_concat_dir_and_file): Use _S for string concat.
        (g_concat_dir_and_file): Bring g_concat_dir_and_file
        function from gnome-libs.  This uses the right path separator
        based on the OS, and also works around a bug in some systems where
        a double slash is not allowed. 
        (default_assembly_name_resolver): Use g_concat_dir_and_file
        (mono_assembly_open): ditto.

2001-08-20  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_signature_equal): impl.

        * *: void is now a realy MonoType (instead of using NULL)
        
        * metadata.c (do_mono_metadata_parse_type): use
        mono_metadata_parse_type to parse void value.

Sat Aug 18 12:51:28 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c, metadata.h: in the signature and method header store
        only the space required for holding the loca vars and incoming arguments.

2001-08-15  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c (do_mono_metadata_parse_type): treat void like any
        other type (instead of assigning NULL);

2001-08-14  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_parse_mh): fixxed pinned/byref value

2001-08-09  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * image.c (do_mono_image_open): added a cache for arrays.

Sat Aug 4 12:46:02 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.h, metadata.c: add mono_metadata_decode_row_col () to
        decode a single column from a row in a metadata table and changes
        to take advantage of it in the typedef locator (gives a nice speed up).
        Store offset info for function params.

2001-08-02  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * image.h (MONO_IMAGE_IS_CORLIB): removed 

Wed Aug 1 22:54:08 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c: how could mono_assembly_close () had ever worked?
        * metadata.c, metadata.h: provide offset info for local vars.
        Implement mono_type_size () to take care of alignment as well
        as size (it was mono_field_type_size in cli/class.c before).

2001-08-01  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * image.h (MONO_IMAGE_IS_CORLIB): new macro to check root image

        * assembly.h (CORLIB_NAME): set to corlib.dll

        * assembly.c (mono_assembly_open): replaced strcmp() with !strcmp()

Tue Jul 31 17:54:02 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.h, metadata.c, Makefile.am, private.h, assembly.c, blob.h,
        cil-coff.h, image.c, image.h, pedump.c, rawbuffer.c, rawbuffer.h, row-indexes.h,
        tokentype.h: massive namespace cleanup.

        NULL (void) before calling mono_metadata_free_type()

Thu Jul 26 19:11:19 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.h, row_indexes.h: added header with enumerations to use
        to index in the columns from tables in metadata and to decode coded
        tokens: we should start using this instead of embedding magic numbers
        all over the code.

Thu Jul 26 13:03:27 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c, cil-coff.h, image.c, image.h, pedump.c, typedef.c:
        Move metadata_t info from cli_image_info_t to MonoImage, where
        it's easily accessible. Changed all the uses accordingly.
        Added the method and class caches to MonoImage.
        * metadata.c, metadata.h: Changed mono_metadata_decode_blob_size ()
        and mono_metadata_decode_value () signature to be more consistent
        with the other parse functions (and simplify code). Taken advantage
        of zero-length array allocation with GCC. Removed reduntant (and
        wrong) MonoFieldType struct and use MonoParam instead. Changed
        mono_metadata_parse_field_type () to use common code for parsing.
        Added mono_metadata_typedef_from_field () and
        mono_metadata_typedef_from_method () to lookup a typedef index from a
        field or method token.
        Pack the MonoRetType structure more tightly (fits in 8 bytes now).

2001-07-23  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_parse_field_type): Implement. 
        (do_mono_metadata_parse_type): Split engine from
        mono_metadata_parse_type, so that we can create smaller structures
        for things that just have one pointer to the MonoType (look at
        the MonoFieldType)

2001-07-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_parse_mh): Correct the implementation,
        as Jan Gray found out, it is incorrect. 

2001-07-18  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c: Implement asssembly loading.  This loads an image
        and loads all the referenced assemblies.  Come to think of it, we
        could always do lazy loading of the assemblies. 

        * image.c (mono_image_open): Keep loaded images in a hashtable.

        * image.h (MonoImage): Add reference count.

2001-07-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c (mono_assembly_open): Keep track of the file name in
        case the assembly has no ASSEMBLY table.

        * metadata.h: Fixed Paolo's quick hack.  Put the documnentation
        from get.c here.

Sun Jul 15 19:39:06 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c, metadata.h: decode local vars in method header
        parse function. Change callers accordingly.

Sun Jul 15 17:40:47 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.h, cil-coff.h: protect against multiple inclusion.
        Added some new structures to hold information decoded from metadata:
        MonoType, MonoParam, MonoArray, MonoMethod, MonoMethodSignature
        and relevant decoding/free functions.
        * metadata.c: implement decoding functions. Add warning for out of bounds
        index in mono_metadata_locate(). Implement mono_get_method () to retreive
        all the info about a method signature and invocation. Remove check on
        uninitialized local var in parse_mh() and fix memory leak.

2001-07-12  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * metadata.h: More macros.

        * tokentype.h: New file.

Fri Jul  6 11:30:53 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c: added a consistency check and initialize
        some structures with g_new0().
        * metadata.c: fixed a couple more bugs in table size computation
        and add other checks for out-of bound access to metadata.

Thu Jul  5 22:34:21 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metatada.c: fix bugs computing table sizes. Spew a
        warning when index in string heap is out of bounds.

2001-07-04  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * metadata.h: Add a couple of macros to manipulate tokens. 

Tue Jul  3 18:33:32 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c: g_free(ii->cli_sections) (and avoid double free of
        cli_section_tables).

2001-07-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_user_string): New function, provides
        access to the UserString heap. 

2001-06-27  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        types. 

        * mono/metadata/pedump.c: Improve to dump new information.

2001-06-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * mono/metadata/metadata.c: Entered all the tables matching
        Beta2. 

        * mono/metadata/assembly.c (load_metadata_ptrs): Fix for Beta2
