2002-08-27  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_native_wrapper): removed wrong null
        check (fixes bug #29486) 

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Changed the file format in a way that allows us
        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
        creation speedup (not enabled by default because we need to deal with
        the synch stuff).

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.c (mono_debug_create_mono_symbol_file): New
        function to create a dynamic symbol file.  This is used by the
        debugger to create a symbol file for IL code on-the-fly.

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

        * loader.c (mono_lookup_pinvoke_call): Include the error message
        from g_module_error() in the error message.

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.c (mono_debug_update_mono_symbol_file): New
        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]
        but they can read the new symbol file format which mcs is now creating.

        * debug-symfile.c (mono_debug_find_source_location): Moved to
        debug-mono-symfile.c; this is now operating on the new symbol file.

2002-08-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-helpers.c (mono_method_desc_from_method): New function to get
        a MonoMethodDesc from a MonoMethod.

        calls for same domain (patch by Tomi Pakarinen <Tomi.Pakarinen@iki.fi>).

Fri Aug 23 12:14:45 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * string-icalls.[ch]: make helper methods static.

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

        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 
        object.c:set_value handles enums correcly.

2002-08-22  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c:

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Environment_get_Platform): Add new
        internal call.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_get_method_info): s/MonoMethod/MonoReflectionMethod/
        (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.

        * object.c:
        (mono_print_unhandled_exception): changed g_warning by g_printerr
        because g_log has a 1024 characters limit (yeah, i got a big stack
        trace). Don't print exception name, that should be in ToString 
        returned string.

2002-08-19  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: added ves_icall_FieldInfo_SetValueInternal.

2002-08-19  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * object.c:
        (mono_print_unhandled_exception): after previous commit, i realized
        that MS calls ToString on the exception. I changed this function to
        do that. This way we get stack_trace for free.

2002-08-19  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

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

        (mono_marshal_get_managed_wrapper): support more types

2002-06-25  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * class.c (class_compute_field_layout): compute class->blittable attribute.

2002-07-09  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c: Make the thread cleaning up cope with threads that
        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!

        * decimal.h (struct signscale): fix endianess

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

        * reflection.c: swap box_val and not val

Mon Jul 8 15:18:59 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c, reflection.h: handle full assembly info in type name.
        Handle Type arguments when loading custom attributes.
        * icall.c: updated to use new mono_reflection_type_from_name () method.

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

        * loader.c:
        (method_from_memberref): also print assembly name when method not found.

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

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

2002-06-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * image.c (do_mono_image_open): Initialize reference count,

        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>

        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

2002-05-06  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * string-icalls.c: fix bug 24248.

Sat May 4 14:03:21 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c, appdomain.h, assembly.c, assembly.h, image.h,
        icall.c, reflection.h: separate assembly loading by pathname and by
        assembly name. Use the MONO_PATH env var to search for assemblies.

Thu May 2 17:56:52 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c, image.h: add some support for assemblies
        with multiple modules.
        * class.c, class.h: export mono_class_from_typeref().
        * loader.c: remove duplicated code and use mono_class_from_typeref(),
        instead.

Thu May 2 15:51:11 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * unicode.c: Char.IsNumber doesn't include hex digits as the ms
        documentation says (the ECMA one is correct).

2002-05-02  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c: Use GC_debug_register_finalizer with GC_debug_malloc.

        Same.

        * icall.c
        (ves_icall_System_CurrentTimeZone_GetTimeZoneData): Fixed for
        systems that use 'timezone' rather than tm.tm_gmtoff. Also, not
        all systems have tm.tm_zone, so use strftime() with %Z to print
        the timezone abreviation into a temp string.

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

2002-04-30  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * string-icalls.c (ves_icall_System_String_InternalReplace_Str):

        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.

        * icall.c: added System.Threading.Thread::Thread_free_internal

Mon Apr 29 15:33:27 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

Mon Apr 29 13:45:11 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * gc.c: fix thinko, enable actual finalization since the jit is now
        fixed.

Mon Apr 29 12:47:36 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * gc.c, object.c: take into account that an object may be offset wrt the address
        returned by GC_malloc().

Mon Apr 29 12:14:39 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * image.c: handle files without entries in the assembly table (modules).

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_setup_internal_class): remove g_assert_not_reached() to allow 
        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()
        if `tb->parent == NULL' rather than crashing.

2002-04-28  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * sysmath.c (ves_icall_System_Math_Asin): Fix copy-paste error.  Was
        calling acos() where asin() should have been called.

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

2002-04-24      Patrik Torstensson <patrik.torstensson@labs2.com>

        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.

        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).

        allocate static class data.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Array_SetValue): check for null values.

        * 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

        * 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

        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

        * 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.

        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.
        * tabledefs.h: add some missing enums.

2001-11-30  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * class.c (mono_install_runtime_class_init): impl.
        (mono_class_init): renamed mono_class_metadata_init to
        mono_class_init, also removed the metadata_inited flag

        * object.c (mono_object_isinst): use faster algorithm

2001-11-30  Radek Doulik  <rodo@ximian.com>

        * mono-endian.h: reverted last change
        added function prototypes

        * Makefile.am (libmetadata_a_SOURCES): reverted my last change and
        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

2001-11-30  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * metadata.h, metadata.c: remove params_size and locals_size and their
        calculation from the metadata code: they are only usefult to the
        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
        that the fields of a class remain aligned also when in an array.

        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>

        * class.h, class.c: add a max_interface_id to MonoClass.
        * 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.

Mon Nov 12 12:41:32 CET 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * 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 *

        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.

        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>

        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

Tue Aug 28 15:47:15 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c, class.h: add an interfaces member to MonoClass.
        * image.c, image.h: add assembly_name field to MonoImage
        from the assembly table.
        * metadata.c, metadata.h: add mono_metadata_interfaces_from_typedef ().

Mon Aug 27 20:12:01 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: Handle Array in mono_class_from_mono_type ().
        * metadata.c, pedump.c: some endian fixes.

Mon Aug 27 15:23:23 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c, loader.c, loader.h: More types handled in mono_class_from_mono_type ().
        * metadata.c: fix small problem introduced with the latest commit.

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>

        * *: use MonoClass pointers instead of <type_tokens>
        
        * 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

        * class.h: cleanup of MonoArrayClass, use a MonoClass pointer to
        identify the type of elements.

Mon Aug 20 19:39:00 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * blob.h: fix MONO_TYPE_TYPEDBYREF value.
        * cil-coff.h: split MonoMSDOSHeader and add size info.
        * image.c: add some consistency checks.
        * metadata.c: fix row size computation: one programmer
        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.

Mon Jul 30 20:11:01 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.h, metadata.c: decode exception clauses when parsing method header.

2001-07-27  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_free_type): added check for type !=
        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>

        * metadata.c: Add inline documentation.

2001-06-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * propertyattr.h, paramattr.h, methodsem.h, methodattr.h: New
        files. 

2001-06-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * typeattr.h: New file, TypeAttribute flags. 

2001-06-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * mono/metadata/assembly.c (mono_assembly_ensure_section_idx,
        mono_assembly_ensure_section): Section loading code.
        (load_section_tables): Load the sections.

        * mono/metadata/metadata.c (mono_metadata_locate_token,
        mono_metadata_locate): Functions to locate the information
        definition given a token or a table and an index.
        (mono_metadata_compute_table_bases): New.
        (compute_size): New function to compute the sizes of the various
        tables.

        * mono/metadata/metadata.h: Finish listing the different index
        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
