        (ves_icall_System_GC_WaitForPendingFinalizers): implemented.
        (finalizer_notify): if shutting down, wait 2 seconds for the finalizers
        to be run (MS does this too).

        initializing the full element class for arrays.

Tue Apr 15 11:03:25 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: ensure the element class of arrays is initialized.

        separator.
        * mono-config.c: same codepath for locating mono config file for WIN32
        and the rest.
        * assembly.c: if mono_assembly_setrootdir is called, don't override
        the value set.

2003-04-12  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Makefile.am: patch by Urs Muff <umuff@quark.com> that fixes

        * class.c reflection.c: Fix memory leaks reported by ccmalloc.

        * reflection.h reflection.c: Allocate long living data using 
        GC_MALLOC_ATOMIC so the collector does not need to scan it.

        * reflection.c: Double the allocation size in streams instead of
        increasing it, to prevent unneccesary copying on large assemblies.
        
        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_create_runtime_class): Avoid vtable
        creation if the assembly does not have the Run flag set.

Tue Apr 8 11:19:53 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.h: avoid the C++ keywords in header files (Jerome Laban

        * object.c:
        (mono_unhandled_exception): fill in the arguments for the

        * threads.c (mono_gc_stop_world, mono_gc_start_world): New public
        functions; stop/start the world for the garbage collector.  This
        is using the windows API; we need to complete the SuspendThread()/
        ResumeThread() implementation in the io-layer to make this work on Unix.
        (mono_gc_push_all_stacks): New public function; tells the garbage
        collector about the stack pointers from all managed threads.

        * object.h: added context and unwrapped_server variables in MonoRealProxy.
        * object.c: Implemented support for interfaces and abstract classes

        * reflection.c (alloc_table): double the size on overflow to avoid
        unnecessary copying.

        * reflection.h reflection.c: If AssemblyBuilderAccess is Run, then
        avoid filling out metadata tables and blobs. Also set mb->ilgen to
        null so it can be garbage collected.
        
2003-03-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_get_type): Return the resolved type

2003-03-26  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c:

        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).

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_parse_type): handle deeply nested
        types correctly.

        * reflection.c (mono_image_create_token): Use unique token values
        since they will be put into a hash table.

        * class.c (mono_class_setup_vtable): If a method occurs in more than
        one place in the vtable, and it gets overriden, then change the
        other occurances too.

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_managed_wrapper): Added support for
        object as return type.

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

        * icall.c: Deleted "ToString" implementation for double and float

        work when using a file Uri in *nix and windows.

        * icall.c: fixed Assembly.CodeBase to return a valid Uri. The same for
        GetReferencedAssemblies.

2003-03-18  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: Rename a couple of internal calls

        * threads.c: Set the thread state to Stopped when a thread exits.

        (mono_reflection_setup_internal_class): Initialize supertypes field.

        * class.c object.c: Handle interfaces which implement other interfaces 
        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>

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\r
        constructor, if the created object is a proxy, then the constructor should\r
        be called using the a remoting wrapper.\r

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>

        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

        mono_metadata_nesting_typedef.
        
2003-02-27  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

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

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.c (ves_icall_MonoDebugger_GetMethodToken):
        New interncall to get a method's metadata token.

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

2003-02-18  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_setup_vtable): allocate supertype array

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.h (MonoSymbolFileMethodAddress): Added `has_this'.

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
        avoiding FAQs on mono-list.

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

        * icall.c:
        (GetEntryAssembly): if the domain has not invoked
        AppDomain.ExecuteAssembly yet, return the assembly of the default
        AppDomain.

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

        * class.c (mono_ldtoken): make it work in dynamic assemblies.

Sun Feb 16 13:10:06 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * 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 
        AssemblyBuilder objects. Factored out custom attribute creation into
        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.

Sun Feb 9 18:37:01 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * loader.c: implemented MEMBERREF_PARENT_TYPEDEF.
        * metadata.c, reflection.c: missing MONO_TYPE_TYPEDBYREF handling.
        * object.c: fixed mono_object_get_virtual_method () for interfaces.
        * verify.c: check for code that runs after the end of the method.

2003-02-08  Pedro Martínez Juliá  <yoros@wanadoo.es>

        * icall.c: Added "System.Math::Floor", "System.Math::Round" and
        "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.

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Reflected latest symwriter changes.
        (mono_debug_create_mono_symbol_file): Removed.
        (mono_debug_open_mono_symbol_file): Take an argument which
        specifies whether to create a dynamic symbol file.

2003-02-07  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_from_mono_type): added MONO_TYPE_TYPEDBYREF

2003-02-05  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c (mono_image_build_metadata): Make this public,
        protect it against being called multiple times, don't create
        resources and don't build the compressed metadata here.
        (mono_image_create_pefile): Do this here.

        * icall.c
        ("System.Reflection.Emit.AssemblyBuilder::build_metadata"): Added.

2003-02-06  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * socket-io.c: fixed bug #36322.

2003-02-06  Piers Haken <piersh@friskit.com>

        * appdomain.[ch]:
        * class.h:
        * debug-mono-symfile.c:
        * icall.c:
        * loader.c:
        * mono-config.c:
        * monosn.c:
        * reflection.c:
        * socket-io.c: warning cleanups

2003-02-06  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_remoting_invoke_with_check): new
        function. works like remoting invoke, but does a check for the Proxy first.

2003-02-05  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c (ves_icall_System_AppDomain_InternalUnload): Make it compiler.

2003-02-05  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_native_wrapper): only allocate an
        array of pointers.

        (mono_marshal_get_stfld_wrapper): only generate necessary stfld wrappers.

        * object.c (mono_store_remote_field_new): used by the new jit
        instead of mono_store_remote_field
        (mono_load_remote_field_new): used by the new jit
        instead of mono_load_remote_field

2003-02-05  Patrik Torstensson

        * appdomain.c: changed unload to take the domain id instead
        of domain
        
        * icall.c: changed icall for AppDomain.Unload to AppDomain.InternalUnload


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

        * appdomain.c: don't look for assemblies in ApplicationBase if
        PrivateBinPathProbe is set.

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

        * object.c: make the first argument in main_args contain the absolute
        path to the assembly. Fixes bug #37511.

2003-02-04  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: get correct UTC offset for countries not using daylight
        time saving. Fixes bug #30030.

2003-02-04  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * socket-io.c: support AF_UNIX and use the same layout as MS (bytes 0
        and 1 are the family).

2003-02-04  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_InternalExecute): removed wrong assertion

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_remoting_invoke): generate valid IL

2003-02-04  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * reflection.c: added support for SignatureHelper tokens, which is
        needed by the Calli opcode.

        * reflection.h: track changes to SignatureHelper class.

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_parse_signature): handle dynamic tokens.

2003-02-04  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c: fixed loading assemblies from PrivateBinPath.

2003-02-03  Patrik Torstensson
        * appdomain.[c|h], domain.c : 
         - Added support for getting a domain via domain id
         - Support for setting and getting domain from System.AppDomain 
           (used in cross appdomain channel)
         - Added support for get/set for a MonoAppContext on a thread 
           (Context class in System.Runtime.Remoting.Contexts),
         - Removed hack in Get/SetData and ExecuteAssembly.
        
        * icall.c : renamed GetTransparantProxy to InternalGetTransparantProxy to allow
        the managed world to get control when a proxy is created.
\r
        * icall.c (ves_icall_InternalExecute) : bug fix, must return empty array
        
2003-02-03  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * icall.c
        (ves_icall_System_Reflection_Assembly_GetReferencedAssemblies):
        Populate the codebase field as well.

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.c
        (MonoSymbolFileMethodAddress): Added `wrapper_address' field.
        (mono_debug_symfile_add_method): Allow interncalls.

2003-01-31  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: throw parse exception if strtod fails or the string is empty.

Fri Jan 31 16:09:48 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c: handle object type separately from defined
        class types.

Fri Jan 31 16:01:20 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c: handle NATIVE_LPSTR for strings when it's
        explicitly specified.

Fri Jan 31 11:51:43 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c, reflection.h, icall.c: setup the reflection
        handle cache for ModuleBuilders and AssemblyBuilders.

2003-01-30  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c (reflection_methodbuilder_to_mono_method): set
        pinvoke flag

2003-01-30  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: implemented ves_icall_MonoMethod_get_base_definition.

2003-01-29  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c: No need for the fake_thread kludge now that Thread
        doesn't run a class constructor
        
2003-01-29  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c: Use g_direct_hash instead of the rather bogus
        g_int_hash

2003-01-29  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_native_wrapper): add check for null
        (fix pinvoke12.exe)
        (mono_marshal_get_struct_to_ptr): generate valid IL code
        (mono_marshal_get_ptr_to_struct): generate valid IL code
        (*): correctly set sig->pinvoke, we need to memdup the signature
        to do that

Tue Jan 28 22:57:57 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c, marshal.h: use larger integers in mono_mb_emit_add_to_local()
        to avoid overflows (bug spotted and fixed by Jerome Laban <jlaban@wanadoo.fr>).

Tue Jan 28 18:55:19 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@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

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

        * threads.c: delete the critical section of a sync block,

        * 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.

        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

        * 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

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

        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.

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>

        * appdomain.c (mono_runtime_cleanup): Don't signal the async

        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.

        * 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>

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

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

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Added support for reference types and strings.

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Started to work on the type table.

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>

        * icall.c
        ("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>

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Create type table.

        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
        changes in the symbol file format.

2002-09-18  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Set version number to 21.

2002-09-18  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c (mon_new): Use the GC_MALLOC macro to hide differences
        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

        * object.c: allow a constructor to be called again on an object.

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>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_native_wrapper): We need to use a special
        signature with the pinvoke field being set for the actual call.

Sat Sep 7 10:12:19 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: removed some unused icalls. Start of map of glib charsets

        * gc.c: fix weakreferences.

Wed Sep 4 13:59:50 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: added icall to get default codepage.

2002-09-03  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.h: 
        * threads.c: Use MonoThread instead of MonoObject where
        apropriate.

        Store running thread objects in a hash table, so that we have all
        the info to hand when waiting for them to finish
        (means we don't need OpenThread() any more, so mingw builds should
        be fully functional again.)

        * verify.c:
        * object.h: Added thread ID to MonoThread

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

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

2002-09-03  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        here from debug-symfile.h.
        (MonoDebugMethodJitInfo): Moved all fields which are filled out by the
        JIT into this struct.

        * debug-mono-symfile.c (mono_debug_create_mono_symbol_file): Always
        create a full symbol file.
        (mono_debug_update_mono_symbol_file): Don't distinguish between dynamic
        and static symbol files.
        (mono_debug_find_method): The symbol file keeps an internal method hash,
        call this to get a MonoDebugMethodInfo from a MonoMethod.

        * debug-symfile.[ch]: Removed.

2002-08-29  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * image.c (do_mono_image_open): Remove linker version check.

2002-08-29  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_managed_wrapper): don't cache
        wrappers for instance methods.

2002-08-28  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * Makefile.am: Export HOST_CC for w32 builds

Tue Aug 27 18:34:51 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * file-io.c process.c: MonoString are null terminated, no
        need for mono_string_to_utf16() anymore.

Tue Aug 27 17:51:27 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * icall.c, unicode.h, unicode.c: removed unused iconv stuff.

Tue Aug 27 16:38:58 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        custom attributes constructors.

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.h (MonoSymbolFileMethodAddress): Removed the
        `trampoline_address' field.

        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.

Fri Aug 23 15:54:09 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.c: fixes assertion failure caused by multiple ExecuteAssembly
        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>

        * icall.c: re-applied patch to GetValueInternal. Also added R4 and R8
        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:
        (ves_icall_MonoField_GetValue): changed to use mono_field_get_value.
        (ves_icall_System_Environment_get_MachineName): removed warning when
        compiling under cygwin.

Thu Aug 22 18:49:11 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.c: fixed field_get_value() for reference types.

2002-08-22  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        The first argument is now a `MonoReflectionModuleBuilder *', the return
        value is a `MonoReflectionModuleBuilder *'.  Use the AssemblyBuilder's

        unfixed token.

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

        Same.

        * icall.c
        (ves_icall_System_CurrentTimeZone_GetTimeZoneData): Fixed for
        systems that use 'timezone' rather than tm.tm_gmtoff. Also, not

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

2002-04-28 Patrik Torstensson <patrik.torstensson@intel.com>

        * 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()

        * 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

        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.

        * string-icalls.c: Fixed trim method, added the constructors done by Duncan, fixed
                           method signatures to use gunichar2 instead of gint16.

        * 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>

        a chance to the runtime to trow an exception instead.
        * loader.h: fix warning.

2002-03-28  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * 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

2002-02-16  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

        * 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.

Fri Feb 15 18:15:44 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: handle finally clauses.

        * reflection.c (mono_param_get_objects): Cast second argument to
        mono_method_get_param_names to a const char** to silence the
        compiler warning.

        * appdomain.c (mono_domain_assembly_open): Put parens around the
        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>

        * metadata.c, metadata.h: added function to get packing and size info
        of a typedef.
        * reflection.h, reflection.c: handle field RVA data. Save info about
        the table layout if needed. Assign typedef indexes to all the types
        before dumping the info about them to avoid forward reference problems.

2002-02-14  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

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

Thu Feb 14 11:49:30 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * opcode.c: use stddef.h to get NULL.

2002-02-14  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

        * 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.

Wed Feb 13 23:00:21 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * assembly.cs: better resolver: use it instead of some kludgy
        code.

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

        * reflection.c: the best way to speed-up the compiler is to avoid
        infinite loops.

2002-02-13  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_vtable): changed the object layout

        * class.c (mono_class_create_from_typedef): do not set valuetype
        flag for System.ValueType and System.Enum

2002-01-23  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@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.

2002-01-23  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_appdomain_get_cur_domain): runtime_init the
        AppDomain object.

Tue Jan 22 22:43:47 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: load also nested classes on class init.
        System.ValueType instance methods gets passed boxed
        values, unless methods in derived classed that get a pointer to the
        data.
        * icall.c: use better name parsing code in GetType().

        * metadata.c (mono_type_stack_size): impl.

        * class.c (mono_class_get_field): impl. memberref token

        with the class library's

        Fix a particularly egregious bug in mono_thread_cleanup(). That
        code was so utterly bogus it must have been written on a Monday.

Mon Jan 14 17:01:03 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.h: add subtypes field to TypeBuilder.
        * reflection.c: encode constants for literal fields.
        Handle subtypes. Fix user string token (and add a zero byte)
        at the end.
        
2002-01-14  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

Tue Jan 8 22:47:44 EST 2002 Matt Kimball <matt@kimball.net>
        * object.c: mono_string_new should return a NULL when the string 
        passed in is NULL -- not try to deference it.

2001-12-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * rawbuffer.cs: Added native Win32 implementation, avoids using
        mmap on Cygwin.  This patch is from Dan Lewis (dihlewis@yahoo.co.uk)

Thu Dec 20 20:11:26 CET 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: make the low-level routines handle the cache.

        valid strings more correctly. Fix warnings and speeling.
        Check more tables: Filed, File, ModuleRef, StandAloneSig.
        Check code: branches, maxstack, method calls.

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>

        * verify.h, verify.c: first cut of the verifier.
        * pedump.c: add --verify switch to verify metadata tables.

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

        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>

        * class.h, class.c: add enum_basetype field to MonoClass.
        * metadata.h, metadata.c: add mono_metadata_get_constant_index()
        to get index in the constant table reated to a field, param or
        property.

        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.

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,

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

        contains pointers into the vtable - this is more efficient for the jit

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>

        Provide macros to do the interesting things on arrays in a portable way.
        * threads-pthread.c: updates for the API changes and #include <sched.h>
        (required for sched_yield()).

Thu Oct 4 19:10:30 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: MonoTypes stored in MonoClass are stored as
        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

        avoid a race condition.
        
        * threads-dummy.h:

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>

        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

        * 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
