        assembly->aot_module.

        * aot-runtime.c: Use image->aot_module instead of searching in the aot_modules

        is used by exceptions-ppc.c.

2008-08-02  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * mini-x86.c (mono_arch_get_argument_info): Rename frame_size to args_size,
        and don't align it to MONO_ARCH_FRAME_ALIGNMENT.

        * mini-x86.h: Change MONO_ARCH_FRAME_ALIGNMENT to 8 so doubles stored on
        the stack are not unaligned. Fixes #413247.
        
Fri Aug 1 18:46:42 CEST 2008 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

2008-07-28  Bill Holmes  <billholmes54@gmail.com>

        * mini-amd64.c (get_call_info): Winx64 fix for passing floats.
          The float param registers and other param registers must be the 
          same index on Windows x64.

        * mini-amd64.c (mono_arch_allocate_vars) : Implementing the 
          ArgValuetypeAddrInIReg argument case.  Setting the argument
          op to OP_VTARG_ADDR (OP_REGOFFSET)).

        * mini-amd64.c (mono_arch_call_opcode) : Winx64 fix.  Use the size
          variable computed above as the copy length for arguments of storage
          type ArgValuetypeAddrInIReg.

        * mini-amd64.c (mono_arch_emit_call) :  Implementing the 
          ArgValuetypeAddrInIReg argument case.  This case will rely on
          mono_arch_emit_outarg_vt to emit the correct code later in the process.

        * mini-amd64.c (mono_arch_emit_call) :  On Winx64 there always needs to be
          a 32 byte stack allocation for all calls.  We will omit the adjustment for
          jump and tail call instructoins as they do not follow the typical call behavior.

        * mini-amd64.c (mono_arch_emit_outarg_vt) :  Implementing the case for
          ArgValuetypeAddrInIReg.  The code emitted will copy the argument to a 
          local variable and pass the local variable by reference to the called method.

        * mini-amd64.c (mono_arch_emit_prolog, emit_load_volatile_arguments) :
          Implementing the ArgValuetypeAddrInIReg argument case.  When the address
          of a struct is passed in a register it must be saved with the other
          volatile argument on the stack.

        * mini-amd64.c (mono_arch_emit_prolog) : Winx64 fix.  When omitting the
          frame pointer the stack adjustment value must be saved to the unwind 
          info structure.

        Contributed under MIT/X11 license.

2008-07-28  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * aot-compiler.c: Fix some warnings.

        * decompose.c (mono_decompose_long_opts): Implement OP_ICONV_TO_OVF_I8_UN.

2008-07-26  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * cpu-arm.md (loadr8_membase): Increase the length of this as this is not
        lowered earlier.

        * exceptions-x86.c: Merge some changes which seemed to have got lost

        pointing to the new `_mono_debug_using_mono_debugger' variable.

        * driver.c

        the `MONO_INSIDE_MDB' environment variable to check whether we're
        inside the debugger.

2008-05-19  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        using generic sharing.

        * generics.cs: Add a test for #387034.

        * mini.c (mini_get_method): Check whenever the method class is an open generic

        #384123.

2008-05-06  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * driver.c (mono_main): Revert r102623. The right
        thing to do is to enable the verifier under verifiable
        unless a --security flag was passed.

        We need this non-trivial behavior for --verify-all otherwise
        mcs-compileall won't be able to use it. As it needs everything to
        be verified under validil.

2008-05-06  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mini.c (mono_method_to_ir): Verify visibility of call related opcodes
        against both inflated and non-inflated methods. We need to check against the
        generic definition for cases where the instantiated method is not visible.
        We need to check against the inflated types for cases where the instantiation
        changes any super type. This fixes #382986.

        Note that this doesn't need to be applied to other parts of mono_method_to_ir
        that check for visibiliy as generic params only appears as the type subject
        of tokens on call opcodes. Field manipulation and ldftn must always
        target an exact type.

2008-05-06  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * driver.c (mono_main): Using --verify-all enables the verifier under validil mode

        * aot-runtime.c (load_aot_module): Avoid trying to load aot code for dynamic
        assemblies, since aot_name is not a full path, causing us to load MS.NET 
        assemblies on windows.

2008-04-28  Kornél Pál  <kornelpal@gmail.com>

        * mini.c (mono_jit_compile_method_inner): Use g_warning instead of g_error

        trampline.

        * mini.c, mini-amd64, mini-x86.c, mini-exceptions.c: Pass the
        vtable instead of the RGCTX to static methods.

        accessing the new RGCTX.

        * generic-sharing.c: There is no separation between self, type
        arguments and other types in the RGCTX anymore.

        * mini.h (MonoDebugOptions): Added `mdb_optimizations'.

        * mini.c

        mono_debug_using_mono_debugger().       

        * driver.c (mono_main): Added `--debug=mdb-optimizations' option to
        disable some JIT optimizations which are only disabled when
        running inside the debugger.
        Added `--help-debug' option to describe the debugging options.
        (parse_debug_options): New static function to parse the `--debug'

        aliasing.c (update_aliasing_information_on_inst): Fixed a bug which
        shows up when both MonoInst arguments can cause aliasig.
        There is likely no way in the current JIT to trigger this problem, but
        it showed up in the development of generics sharing, when in a new
        opcode both args of an OP_GROUP can be aliases (addresses of a local).
        When the generics sharing code will be committed, its tests will be
        valid also for this bug.

        MonoGenericSharingContext.

        * mini-ia64.c (get_call_info): Receive a MonoCompile instead of a 
        MonoGenericSharingContext. Allocate memory from the cfg mempool.

        * mini.c, mini.h, generic-sharing.c: Functions for producing code
        which extract fields out of the runtime generic context.  Full
        sharing of the NEWARR opcode.

Thu Nov 15 14:20:21 CET 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * abcremoval.c, mini.c, ssa.c, ssapre.c: updated to implement

        mono_marshal_get_delegate_invoke () signature change.

2007-11-13  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * mini.c: Removed the shared context in favor of the generic
        sharing context.  Allocate the MonoJitInfo structure with room for
        the generic sharing context if it's needed.

        * mini.h: Remove MonoGenericSharingContext declaration.  It's in
        domain-internals.h now.

        * mini-x86.c: Pass the generic sharing context to get_call_info ().

        * generic-sharing.c: Several changes for working without a shared

       * inssel-sparc.brg: Fix double instruction emit.

2007-11-12  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * mini.c (mono_jit_runtime_invoke): Avoid trying to compile the Array 
        Get/Set/Address methods.
        
        * mini.c debug-debugger.c mini-trampolines.c: Update after 
        mono_marshal_get_delegate_invoke signature change.

2007-11-12  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * cpu-arm.md: Increase the max size of OP_THROW to 24 bytes.
        This can happens with dynamic methods. Fixes the other bug in #322722.

        * mini.c:
        move_basic_block_to_end: Add branches when needed, eventually creating
        a new BB.
        optimize_branches: added a parameter that tells if it's ok to create
        new BBs (doing is "df_visit" has been called is (IMHO) a nightmare),
        and avoid calling move_basic_block_to_end when it's not ok.
        Fixes bug 318677.

2007-11-07  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * mini.c: Abort inlining call to InitializeArray if something
        looks wrong.  Let the icall handle it, which now has proper safety
        checks.

2007-11-05  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * mini.c (mono_spill_call): add support for soft-float.

        * mini.c, mini-x86.c: when getting back from unmanaged code
        to managed via a marshaled delegate we also need to set the
        right domain.

Wed Oct 31 19:53:33 CET 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

2007-10-26  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * mini-arm.c (mono_arch_build_imt_thunk): Take the advantage
        that IP  either is an unused value or the vtable pointer. IMT 
        calls use vtable + offset now. Reduced by almost half the size
        of IMT entries.

2007-10-26  Jonathan Chambers <joncham@gmail.com>

        * mini-amd64.c: Begin Win64 port. Use AMD64_ARG_REG#
        defines to access param registers. Replace long usage with

        * mini-amd64.h: Add %rdi and %rsi to MonoLMF structure
        on Win64. Fix intrinsic, use _AddressOfReturnAddress
        instead of non-existant _GetAddressOfReturnAddress.

        * tramp-amd64.c: Use AMD64_ARG_REG#     defines to access 
        param registers. Save/restore %rdi and %rsi in MonoLMF.

        param registers. Modify (throw_exception) signature to take 
        %rdi and %rsi on Win64. 

        Code is contributed under MIT/X11 license.

Thu Oct 25 23:06:58 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        call sequence for interface invocations.

        * mini-arm.c (mono_arch_emit_imt_argument): added, required
        for imt support. This function is empty since IMT on ARM requires no

        * mini-arm.c (mono_arch_find_imt_method): added, required for
        imt support.

        * mini-arm.c (mono_arch_find_this_argument): added, required
        for imt support.

        a ldr instruction to load a value stored in the code stream.

        * mini-arm.c (mono_arch_build_imt_thunk):added, required
        for imt support.

        trampoline.

Mon Oct 15 10:41:27 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini-amd64.c, mini-amd64.h: amd64 support for the common vtable
        trampoline.

Mon Oct 15 10:39:26 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini-x86.c, mini-x86.h: x86 support for the common vtable
        trampoline.

Mon Oct 15 10:37:15 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini-trampolines.c: changed the magic rampoline to understand
        the common vtable trampoline method: the method to invoke is
        determined by the vtable displacement of the call.

Mon Oct 15 10:35:12 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini.c, mini.h: register the common vtable trampoline if the

Mon Oct 15 09:50:52 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * cpu-amd64.md: use the correct max length for tls_get.

2007-10-14  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * mini.c (mono_method_to_ir): Use mini_get_class in CEE_LDELEM_ANY and
        CEE_STELEM_ANY. Fixes #333696.

Thu Oct 11 18:04:29 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * exceptions-x86.c: provide more graceful handling of the case where
        we followed a bogus function pointer from managed code (bug #332866).

2007-10-11  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * mini.h, mini.c: Introduced the MonoGenericSharingContext, which
        replaces the generic_shared flag and will carry more information
        in the future.

        * generic-sharing.c: Added mini_type_stack_size() which allows
        allows open types if given a generic sharing context.
        mini_get_basic_type_from_generic() takes a
        MonoGenericSharingContext* instead of a MonoCompile* now.

        * mini-alpha.c, mini-amd64.c, mini-arm.c, mini-hppa.c,
        mini-ia64.c, mini-mips.c, mini-ppc.c, mini-s390.c, mini-s390x.c,
        mini-sparc.c, mini-x86.c: Trivial changes required by the two
        changes above.  Just passing arguments through to the right
        places.

Wed Oct 10 19:44:42 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * tramp-arm.c: reduced the trampoline size.

2007-10-10  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * generic-sharing.c, mini.h, mini-amd64.c, mini-x86.c: Moved type
        variable handling out of arch-specific code.

Wed Oct 10 10:49:28 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini-arm.c: implemented fast delegate dispatch.

2007-10-09  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * mini-amd64.c (mono_arch_compute_omit_fp): Add more checks to ensure
        that fp elimination is turned off if the space required by locals is too
        big. Fixes #331958.

Tue Oct 9 21:01:03 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Makefile.am, mini-arm.c, mini-arm.h, tramp-arm.c: ported
        ARM to the new style trampoline.

2007-10-09  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * tramp-amd64.c: Rework the specific trampoline code to make it smaller.

        `field_info_offset_offset'.     

Tue Oct 9 09:47:51 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini-ppc.c, mini-ppc.h, mini-ops.h, inssel-ppc.brg, cpu-g4.md:
        removed more internal usage of the r11 register and made it available
        to the register allocator.

2007-10-08  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * mini.c, mini-amd64.c, mini-x86.c: Allow open generic contexts
        when sharing generics and treat type variables as references.

Mon Oct 8 10:55:38 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini-ppc.c: started removing the internal uses of register r11
        to eventually allow the register allocator to manage it as an
        additional available register.

Mon Oct 8 14:25:39 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * tramp-amd64.c: fixed memory corruption in the trampoline generation.

Mon Oct 8 12:06:33 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * tramp-ppc.c, tramp-x86.c: reduce the alignment requirements for
        specific trampolines as they are not performance critical as a jump
        target (maybe align as before only for AOT code?). This saves about
        200 KB of native code on x86 for monodevelop startup.

Mon Oct 8 10:04:40 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * tramp-ppc.c: reduce the size of the trampolines, saves 160KB on
        monodevelop startup.

        * tramp-sparc.c (mono_arch_create_trampoline_code): Rework the trampoline code so
        its smaller and doesn't clobber sparc_g1.

        * mini-sparc.c (mono_arch_get_vcall_slot_addr): Update after trampoline changes.

Fri Oct 5 18:28:11 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

Thu Oct 4 19:01:59 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini-ppc.c, tramp-ppc.c: don't use r13 as it's used by the PPC EABI
        systems already. This also reduces the specific trampiline sizes and
        prepares for the use of r12 as the IMT identifier register.

Thu Oct 4 16:38:27 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini-mips.h: endianess fix (simplified from a patch by

Thu Oct 4 14:43:49 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * exceptions-ppc.c, mini-ppc.h: refactor to use macros
        to access ucontext fields and enable netbsd support
        (partially from Magnus Henoch <mange@freemail.hu>).

Thu Oct 4 12:35:27 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * genmdesc.pl: patch from Henryk Plötz <henryk@openmoko.org> to
        use the preprocessor from the CPP env var if it is set.

Wed Oct 3 17:11:38 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini-trampolines.c: fixed an assertion and moved it earlier in the
        code, before interface_offset gets used.

2007-10-02  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * mini-trampolines.c (mono_convert_imt_slot_to_vtable_slot): Call

2007-10-01  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * aot-compiler.c (get_plt_index): Rework the handling of wrappers to be not so
        hackish.

Mon Oct 1 15:00:27 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini.c, mini-trampolines.c, mini.h: enable the lazy filling of the
        IMT slots (this saves hundreds of KB of memory in programs like
        IronPython and Monodevelop).

Mon Oct 1 14:44:19 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini.c: print the delegate counter.

Mon Oct 1 14:36:50 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini-x86.c: make it easier to enable the debugging code for IMT
        slots.

2007-09-28  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug-debugger.h
        (MonoDebuggerMetadataInfo): Add `klass_image_offset',
        `mono_method_klass_offset' and `mono_method_token_offset'.

2007-09-20  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * mini.c: First generics sharing implementation.  Can only share
        in very simple cases.  If sharing doesn't work it falls back to
        dedicated compilation.

        * mini.h: Flag in MonoCompile to specify whether generic
        compilation is shared.  Flags enum for marking which generic inst
        of a context is used.  Prototypes for helper functions.

        * generic-sharing.c: Helper functions for generic method sharing.

        * optflags-def.h: Optimization flag (gshared) for enabling generic
        method sharing added.

2004-12-24  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * aot.c: Rework the AOT file format to get rid of most of the global
        symbols. This reduces the size of the mscorlib.dll.so by 1MB.

        * mini.h: Bump AOT file format version.
        
2004-12-23  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * mini.h: Bump AOT file format version.

        * aot.c (mono_aot_is_got_entry): New function to determine if an 
        address is inside a GOT.

        * aot.c mini-x86.c tramp-x86.c: Make all patches use the GOT.

        * cpu-pentium.md: Increase the maximum size of some instructions which
        might involve a got access.
        
        * mini.c (get_method_from_ip): Another debug helper function.

        * mini.c: Call mono_get_got_var () in a couple places. Handle the case
        when got var accesses are created during the decompose phase.

        * mini-sparc.c: Change mono_compile_aot to cfg->compile_aot.

        * mini.h mini.c mini-x86.c aot.c mini-sparc.c: Add a 'compile_corlib'
        argument mini_compile_method and to MonoCompile, and use this to
        determine whenever a given method is compiled for AOT. This allows the
        other methods compiled during AOT compilation to be free of AOT stuff,
        so the backends does not need to add special support for them by
        creating a fake GOT etc.

        * mini-x86.c (mono_arch_patch_code): Remove fake got stuff as it is no
        longer needed.

2004-12-21  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * mini.c (mono_method_to_ir): It turns out that some of the
        x-appdomain wrappers are lax with types, so just ignore this for
        all wrappers.

        * inssel.brg (OP_CHECK_ARRAY_TYPE): Optimize this by only looking
        at the vtable->klass. If it is non-shared code we can just use the
        vtable.

Tue Dec 21 17:43:06 CET 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini-ppc.c: access MonoDomain from tls, too.

2004-12-21  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * declsec.c: Removed unused variable (and related warning ;-)

2004-12-21  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * iltests.il: New test for LDELEMA on an array of ref types.

        * mini.c (CEE_LDELEMA): We need to emit OP_CHECK_ARRAY_TYPE for
        all ldelema's on reftypes.
        (check_call_signature): Remove the OP_CHECK_ARRAY_TYPE from here,
        it was the wrong place to put it.

        * mini-x86.c (mono_arch_output_basic_block): Just use ecx as the
        register to pop to make this cleaner, at the request of Paolo.

2004-12-20  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * mini-ops.h (OP_GETHASHCODE): New op.

        * inssel.brg (OP_GETHASHCODE): Emit code for the new opcode

        * mini.c (mini_get_inst_for_method): Create the intrinsic hash
        operation.

        For a microbenchmark, this reduces the cost of Hashtable.get_Item
        by 25%.
        
        * mini-x86.c (mono_arch_output_basic_block): Rather than

        add ebp, 4

        Emit

        pop edx

        The first is 3 bytes while the second is 1. This saves 36 kb on
        mscorlib, quite a big saving. When bootstraping mcs, I was able to
        see a small boost because of icache locality.

        * cfold.c (FOLD_BINOPCOMM): Kill add foo, 0

Mon Dec 20 12:19:40 EST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Makefile.am, mini-ppc.h, mini-exceptions.c, exceptions-ppc.c:
        started code sharing with the generic code.

Mon Dec 20 11:08:06 EST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini-ppc.c, cpu-g4.md: added code for direct access to
        tls data slots.

Mon Dec 20 10:58:28 EST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini-ops.h, inssel-x86.brg, cpu-amd64.md, inssel.brg, inssel-amd64.brg,
         mini-amd64.c, mini-x86.c, cpu-pentium.md: renamed OP_X86_TLS_GET
        to OP_TLS_GET.

2004-12-20  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * declsec.c|h: Added functions to cache the declarative stack modifiers
        in MonoJitInfo and to create a security frame from a MonoJitInfo 
        structure.
        * mini.c: Initialize jinfo->cas_inited to FALSE when MonoJitInfo is
        created. Register internal calls for System.Security.SecurityFrame::
        _GetSecurityFrame and _GetSecurityStack.
        * mini.h: Added definition for new icalls (in mini-exceptions.c) and
        the definitions for the new stack walk/callback mechanism.
        * mini-exceptions.c: Added internal call GetSecurityFrame (to get the 
        first security frame for LinkDemands and InheritanceDemands) and
        GetSecurityStack for Demands. Both use the new mono_walk_stack code
        from lupus.
        * mini-x86.h, mini-amd64.h, mini-sparc.h: Architecture specific stack
        walk initialization (lupus).

2004-12-20  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * mini.c (mono_method_to_ir): In CEE_DUP, handle the dup / stloc
        idiom.
        (handle_loaded_temps): Do not create a temporary variable for
        things that we know are temps. They will never be modified.
        (mono_spill_call): Set MONO_INST_IS_TEMP
        (mono_emulate_opcode): ditto
        (emit_tree): ditto
        (mono_method_to_ir.CEE_DUP): ditto

2004-12-19  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * mini.c (type_to_eval_stack_type): Make this handle the void type
        (mono_emit_call_args): set the call->type with type_to_eval_stack_type
        (emit_tree): use ip_in_bb to special case some common idioms
        Update all callers to pass in the IP.
        (mono_method_to_ir): Make CEE_CALL* do the above as well.

        This gives us a nice 2% speedup in mcs bootstrap.

        * mini-x86.c (peephole_pass): Peephole pass to make
        mov  [foo], eax
        push [foo]

        into

        mov [foo], eax
        push eax

        * mini.c (ip_in_bb): new method.
        (mono_method_to_ir): use this method rather than doing the hash
        lookup ourselves.

        * linear-scan.c (mono_linear_scan): When expiring actives, you
        don't need to keep around variables that expire on this
        instruction. This makes it so that:
             a = b + 1
        will turn into:
             store (ebx add (ebx, 1))
        which will become
             add ebx, 1

2004-12-19  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * mini.c (mono_method_to_ir): Optimize the common ldobj+stloc 
        combination to avoid doing two copies. Fix up problems with previous

        changes from the x86 code.

        * mini.h: Add prototype for mono_arch_get_throw_corlib_exception ().

2004-12-16  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * mini-x86.c (mono_arch_emit_epilog): Optimize the corlib exception
        throwing code to reduce its size, unify the AOT and non-aot code and 
        get rid of relocations in the AOT case.

        * mini-x86.h mini.c exceptions-x86.c 
        (mono_arch_get_throw_corlib_exception): New arch specific function to 
        raise corlib exceptions which doesn't require relocations in the 
        caller.

        * aot.c (emit_method): Handle PATCH_INFO_NONE as well.

2004-12-15  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * mini.c (mono_emit_method_call): Only allocate the got var when it is
        needed.

        * mini-x86.c (mono_arch_patch_code): Add missing PATCH_INFO_METHOD_REL
        in the AOT case.

2004-12-14  Patrik Torstensson  <patrik.torstensson@gmail.com>

        * mini-x86.c, cpu-pentium.md, inssel-x86.brg: Fixed bug
        with add function when used from Inc/dec atomic 
        functions. Re-enabled optimization on x86.
        * mini-ops.h: renamed atomic_add functions to
        allow _add to match the Interlocked::Add and
        _add_next to match Interlocked::Inc/Dec.

2004-12-15  Massimiliano Mantione  <massi@ximian.com>

        * mini.c: Fixed a subtle bug in mono_method_to_ir, about the
        linking of BBs to the end BB, and enabled SSAPRE also with
        consprop and copyprop (which was prevented by that bug).

2004-12-14  Patrik Torstensson  <patrik.torstensson@gmail.com>

        * mini-x86.c: disabling the Interlocked optimizing code. 

2004-12-14  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        file version check.
        
2004-12-14  Patrik Torstensson  <patrik.torstensson@gmail.com>

        * mini-x86.c, inssel-x86.brg, cpu-pentium.md: removed _imm 
        interlocked optimization due lack of support on x86, rewrote 
        exchange to take into account that base may be in eax.
        
        xsp works again; activated Interlocked optimizing code.
        
2004-12-14  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * mini.h (MONO_AOT_FILE_VERSION): Bump AOT file version.

        * mini.h: Add new patch types. Add got_var to MonoCompile.

        * mini.h mini-x86.c mini-amd64.c aot.c: Rename 
        mono_arch_get_aot_patch_offset () to mono_arch_get_patch_offset () and
        make it work with all kinds of patchable code.

        * inssel.brg inssel-x86.brg: Add new rules dealing with computing the
        address of the GOT, and referencing entries in the GOT.

        * mini.c: Add code to load the GOT address if needed by an opcode.

        * aot.c mini-x86.h mini-x86.c cpu-pentium.md: Add support for position 
        independent AOT code on the x86 using an elf-style Global Offset Table.

2004-12-12  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * mini-ppc.c (mono_arch_patch_code): Hopefully made this build
        again. `patch_info->table_size' is no longer valid after Zoltan's
        commit #37636.

2004-12-12  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mini.c (mono_method_to_ir): Only call mono_debug_init_method()
        if we are the "real" method, ie. not an inlined method inside it.

2004-12-11  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * mini.c (CEE_LDSFLD): Make sure that the vtable has been init'd
        before we look in the special fields table. This fixes
        ../tests/thread-static-init.cs.

2004-12-11 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * mini.c: return immediately after setting OP_ARRAY_RANK or CEE_LDLEN
        for Array get_Rank and get_Length. Fixes bug #70465.

2004-12-11  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * mini.h mini.c aot.c: Put the bblock table for a SWITCH patch into a
        separate structure to reduce the size of MonoJumpInfo.

Fri Dec 10 18:09:22 CET 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini.c, mini.h, aot.c, driver.c: allow disabling the aot code.

2004-12-10  Patrik Torstensson  <patrik.torstensson@gmail.com>

        * mini.c (mini_get_inst_for_method): Changed to allow ports
        to return a MonoInst instead of opcode 
        (renamed mini_get_opcode_for_method to better reflect the new functionality)
        
        * mini-[x86|s390|s390x|ppc|sparc].c (mono_arch_get_inst_for_method): 
        Allow ports to return a created MonoInst instead of op-code, will enable
        new optimizations.
        (renamed mini_get_opcode_for_method to better reflected the functionality)

        Fixes #69985.

2004-12-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mini.c (mono_method_to_ir): In CEE_CALLVIRT, use `fsig->signature'
        if we're a CEE_CONSTRAINED call.  Fixes gen-118.cs.

2004-12-08  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * mini-sparc.c (mono_arch_output_basic_block): Implement OP_FCONV_TO_<X>
        correctly.

        * exceptions.cs: Disable some tests which depend on properties of x86 fp
        arithmetic.

2004-12-08  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Add *.exe, *.dll.

        * mini.c: Added removal of critical edges (prerequisite for SSAPRE),
        and some utility functions (always for SSAPRE), integrated SSAPRE.
        * mini.h: Likewise.
        * driver.c: Added ssapre option.
        * ssa.c: Small fix on OP_ARG handling.
        * ssapre.c, ssapre.h: Added files containing SSAPRE implementation.
        * Makefile.am: Likewise.

        * cpu-s390.md : Increase instruction length of oparglist.

        * mini-s390.c : Implement vararg and TYPEDEBYREF support.

2004-11-30  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mini.c (mono_method_to_ir): In CEE_CALLVIRT, added support for
        virtual generic methods.  We call a special helper_compile_generic_method()
        icall to retrieve the method from the vtable, inflate and compile
        it and then do a CEE_CALLI.  Thanks a lot to Paolo for this idea.

        * jit-icalls.c (helper_compile_generic_method): New JIT icall.

2004-11-30  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * mini-sparc.c: Fix up vararg corner cases. Fixes #70019.

        Fixes #69929.

2004-11-27  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * inssel.brg (CEE_SWITCH): The AOT stuff Zoltan added is only for
        platforms with PIC aot.

2004-11-28  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mini.c (mono_method_to_ir): In CEE_DUP, added handle_stobj().
        Fixes gen-112.cs.

2004-11-28  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mini-x86.c (mono_arch_call_opcode): Use the original type, not
        the result of mono_type_get_underlying_type() to check whether
        we're byref.

2004-11-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mini.c
        (mono_method_to_ir): Use `!method->signature->has_type_parameters'
        in the g_assert().

2004-11-26  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * mini-amd64.c (mono_arch_emit_this_vret_args): Handle this and vret
        the same way as the other arguments so they won't get clobbered.

        * mini-amd64.c (mono_arch_output_basic_block): Avoid doing virtual 
        calls through R11 since it is clobbered by the trampoline code.

2004-11-26  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * Makefile.am: Consistently use $(RUNTIME) rather than ./mono to
        pick up in-tree mscorlib.dll.

2004-11-25  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * aot.c: Rename MonoAOTModule->cleanup to out_of_date.

        * mini-amd64.c aot.c: Switch to PIC relative AOT code. References to 
        runtime data/code are now stored in a table similar to the GOT in ELF. 
        This allows the code itself to be position independent.

        * aot.c: Fix loading of referenced assemblies after the lazy assembly
        loading changes.

        * aot.c: Attach ELF type (object/function) directives to all global
        symbols.

        * tramp-amd64.c (amd64_magic_trampoline): Patch RIP relative calls too.

        * inssel.brg (SWITCH): Emit an AOT_CONST in the aot case.

        * mini-amd64.h: Turn on PIC AOT code.

        * mini.h (mono_arch_get_aot_patch_offset): New arch specific function
        returning the offset within an OP_AOTCONST instruction where the GOT

2004-11-07  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * exceptions-sparc.c (get_throw_exception): Fix more bugs in previous
        patch.

        * cpu-sparc.md: Add op_rethrow.

        Makes the output much easier to read

2004-11-05  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * ssa.c: allocate MonoMethodVar.uses from the mempool. First, this
        prevents another huge leak when compiling with ssa. Secondly, the
        performance of doing this rather than freeing the lists is much
        better. GList does a lock every time you allocate a list link,
        so that it can use a memory pool. So, it is better to just use
        a memory pool of our own.
        
        * ssa.c, linear-scan.c: replace g_list_remove_link with
        g_list_delete.  The remove one does not free the GList, so we were
        leaking memory. On -O=all --compile-all with corlib, this cut down
        3 MB of allocations.

        * mini.c: Fix pointer overwrite in mini_method_compile.

2004-11-2  Geoff Norton  <gnorton@customerdna.com>

        * inssel-ppc.brg (OP_OUTARG_VT (CEE_LDOBJ (base))):
        The darwin ABI needs some special handling for 1 and 2 byte structs
        Lets use lbz/lhz instead of lwz everywhere.
        * mini-ppc.c (calculate_sizes):  The Darwin ABI needs from special handling
        for 1 and 2 byte structs and struct which are size >= 3 || size % 4 != 0.
        Use stb/sth for the former, and put the latter always on stack instead of in
        argument registers.

2004-10-30  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

2004-10-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * mini.c (mono_jit_free_method): Provide extra information for
        this error.  Currently this leaks, but will be turned into a

        methods as their native size, fixed bug #57543, #57545.
        * mini-ppc.c (mono_arch_output_basic_block): Use mulli for imm16 types
        This saves a temporary register and mullw call down into 1 (minor perf
        increase for cases like sum = sum * 5;  This use to translate into:
            li r11,5
            mullw r28,r28,r11
        It now translates to
            mulli r28,r28,5

2004-10-15  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        code.

2004-09-06  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mini.c (mono_method_to_ir): When initializing locals, handle a

2004-07-22  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * mini.c (print_dfn): commenting out the code that prints
        the cil. With -O=deadce, this makes -v -v crash.
        
        * cpu-pentium.md: make checkthis have a length of 2

2004-04-21  Bernie Solomon  <bernard@ugsolutions.com>

Wed Jul 14 19:08:41 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini-ppc.c, exceptions-ppc.c: cleanups and fixes (the
        new XSP should work with these changes).

2004-07-14  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximain.com>
        
        * inssel-{long32,x86,}.brg: trivial optimizations.
        
Mon Jul 12 20:25:57 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini.c: load value when emitting box operation in
        constrained calls.

2004-07-12  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * mini-x86.c (OP_CHECK_THIS): cmp DWORD PTR [eax], eax
        is one byte shorter than cmp DWORD PTR [eax], 0.

Mon Jul 12 17:47:00 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * inssel-ppc.brg: arguments on the stack are always
        relative to the stack pointer (spotted by Neale Ferguson).

2004-07-11 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * exceptions-x86.c: delay appending the method name to the trace until
        after mono_jit_info_table_find is called, as this gets the real
        MonoMethod.

2004-07-09  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * aot.c: register roots

2004-07-09  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * aot.c : I could just use PLATFORM_WIN32 flag.

2004-07-09  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * aot.c : Reverting the previous fix. This time it broke linux build.

2004-07-09  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * aot.c : quick cygwin build fix. mkdir() with two args does not exist.

2004-07-08  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * mini.c (handle_stack_args): Remove some more debugging code.
        
        * mini.c (handle_stack_args): Remove debug output left in by mistake.

        * driver.c mini.h aot.c: Allow additional options to be specified with
        --aot and pass them to mono_compile_assembly.

        * aot.c: Add experimental code to AOT compile all loaded assemblies
        on demand and save the code into a cache in the filesystem.

        * aot.c: Add support for more wrapper methods.
        
        * mini.c (handle_stack_args): Handle some corner cases. Fixes 
        58863.

        * cpu-*.md: Remove removed opcodes.

        * mini.h mini.c: Move JIT icall handling to icall.c. Replace usage of
        CEE_MONO_PROC<x> with CEE_MONO_ICALL. Move registration of marshalling
        related icalls to marshal.c.

2004-07-06  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * mini-ops.h: Add OP_SAVE_LMF and OP_RESTORE_LMF.

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add inssel-long[32].brg.

        * inssel.brg: Fix warning. Add rules for SAVE_LMF and RESTORE_LMF.

2004-07-06  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>
        * liveness.c: If liveness is recomputated we need to reset the information
        for each variable. This way, if the liveness range has been narrowed
        by optimizations that happened after the last computation, we can return
        a smaller range.
        
        For example, if you have
        
        {
                int i = 0;
                
                // Tons of code that does not affect i
                
                i = foo ();
                ...
        }
        
        i = 0 is dead code and will be removed by SSA. However, when
        linear scan gets to the code, i will still appear to be live
        throughout the entire block. This prevents good register allocation.

2004-07-06  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug-mini.c (mono_debug_init_method): Allow
        MONO_WRAPPER_MANAGED_TO_NATIVE wrappers.
        (mono_debug_add_icall_wrapper): New method.

        * mini.c (mono_icall_get_wrapper): Call mono_debug_add_icall_wrapper().

2004-06-30  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * ssa.c: Handle OP_LCOMPARE the same as OP_COMPARE.

        * objects.cs exceptions.cs basic.cs basic-long.cs basic-calls.cs: New
        regression tests.

Mon Jun 28 18:05:09 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini.c: reinstated mono_compile_get_interface_var()
        on x86, too, since the change breaks the Gtk# build there as well.

Fri Jun 25 17:36:28 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * driver.c: remove loop from the default optimizations: it seems to
        interact badly with some of the other options (see bug #60613).

2004-06-25  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * mini.c mini-x86.h mini-x86.c: Applied patch from Guenter Feldmann 
        (fld@informatik.uni-bremen.de): Add Solaris x86 support.

Tue Jun 22 21:29:11 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini-ppc.c, cpu-g4.md: small updates to be able to compile
        vararg-using methods.

2004-06-21  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mini/mini-exceptions.c
        (mono_handle_exception): Added `gpointer original_ip' argument.
        After calling mono_unhandled_exception(), call
        mono_debugger_unhandled_exception() and if that returns true,
        restore the context and return.

Mon Jun 21 19:26:40 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini-ppc.c: prefer the use of relative branches so
        they won't need to be patched in aot code (patch from Patrick Beard).

Mon Jun 21 19:03:18 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * aot.c: patch from Patrick Beard to make the output assembly
        more correct for the MacOSX assembler. Small tweak to
        generate sane images on Linux/PPC, too.

Fri Jun 18 18:24:28 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini.c, mini.h, mini-ppc.c: handle varargs methods with a special
        case until bug #59509 is fixed (shows up in #60332).

Tue Jun 15 16:36:51 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini.c: make sure the needed wrappers are compiled, too, with
        precomp.

Mon Jun 14 18:36:08 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * driver.c: remove NPTL reference in --version output.

Sun Jun 13 17:25:28 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * aot.c: patch from Patrick Beard (pcbeard@mac.com) to
        generate valid assembly for the Mach-O assembler.

Sun Jun 13 15:59:38 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * driver.c: don't include abcrem in the all optimization specifier
        since it slows down jit compilation too much for now.

2004-06-12 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * mini.c: use BIGMUL only if both operands have the same signage.
        * iltests.il: Test for bug 60056. (errors related to signage in
        BIGMUL).

        r=lupus.

Thu Jun 10 16:06:42 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini.c, aot.c: memory leak fixes.

Tue Jun 8 16:37:15 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

Tue Jun 8 15:36:30 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Makefile.am: remove the -static hack completely, it links in
        statically glib as well.

Sat Jun 5 16:32:33 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * iltests.il, mini.c: fixed bug#59580 in branch optimization.
        * exceptions.cs: make it compile with new mcs/csc.

2004-06-03 Massimiliano Mantione <massi@ximian.com>
        * cpu-pentium.md basic-float.cs Fixed bug on fpu spills (see bug 54467),
        and added relevant test case.

Mon May 31 19:41:46 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini.c revert Zoltan's fix to bug#58863 on ppc, since it causes
        regressions in gtk-sharp.

2004-05-29  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * exceptions.cs: New regression tests.

        * jit-icalls.c (mono_llmult_ovf): Fix some boundary conditions.

Sat May 29 10:45:58 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini.c: emit castclass/isinst in their own trees (bug #54209/59057).

        * mini-sparc.h (MONO_ARCH_NEED_DIV_CHECK): Define this.

        * cpu-sparc.md mini-sparc.c: Add overflow detection to div opcodes.

2004-05-28      Patrik Torstensson <totte@hiddenpeaks.com>

        * mini.c (mono_jit_runtime_invoke): Init class in this
        method instead of trusting mono_jit_compile_method to
        do the work (because wrappers can be in object class)

2004-05-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * mini-sparc.c (mono_arch_output_basic_block): Fix sub.imm.

        * cpu-g4.md, mini-ppc.c: fixes to long add/sub ovf opcodes
        and div/rem checks.

Thu May 27 12:36:53 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Makefile.am: fix miguel's change to build mono statically against
        libmono (track build dependencies).

2004-05-26  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * cfold.c: Some glib versions do not have G_MININT32.

2004-05-26  Massimiliano Mantione  <massi@ximian.com>

        * mini-x86.c cpu-pentium.md Makefile.am basic-math.cs: Fixed problem
        with precision of tan, atan, sin and cos, and implemented related
        regressions tests (fixes bug 54467, but one new problem appeared and
        is not fixed yet).

2004-05-26  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * cfold.c (FOLD_BINOPZ): Avoid division by zero.

        * exceptions.cs: Add test for constant folding && division by zero.

        * driver.c mini.h mini.c mini-x86.c: Revert most of the previous patch
        since driver.c is in libmono too, so the optimization was useless.

        * driver.c mini.h mini.c mini-x86.c: Moved the mono_lmf_addr TLS 
        variable to driver.c so the compiler can emit more efficient code to
        access them.

2004-05-26  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Makefile.am: don't distribute generated inssel.[ch] files.

2004-05-25  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * mini.c (mono_jit_compile_method_with_opt): Really emit icall wrappers
        into the default appdomain. Fixes #58707.

        * jit-icalls.c: Remove the broken approximation for truncl, doing
        no conversion is better.

        * mini.c (handle_stack_args): Avoid reusing variables for stack slots.
        Fixes #58863.

Tue May 25 14:33:56 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini-ops.h, mini-ppc.c, cpu-g4.md, inssel-ppc.brg: eliminate the use
        of the mcrxr instruction which is not available on some processors
        even if it's documented to be. Implement add and sub overflow correctly
        (still not complete for long unsigned). Speed up icalls a bit.

2004-05-25 13:01 CET Patrik Torstenson <totte@hiddenpeaks.com>

        * mini.c (mono_jit_compile_method_with_opt): Make sure that
        we run .cctor in the current domain instead of target_domain.
        
        Fixes bug #58558, .cctor not being called in -O=shared.

Tue May 25 12:46:50 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini-ppc.h, jit-icalls.c: added explicit checks for divide by zero.

2004-05-24 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * mini-x86.c (EMIT_COND_BRANCH): If an OP_LABEL has an offset
        which can be done with an imm8, do it that way.
        (mono_arch_output_basic_block): ditto for a jmp
        (mono_arch_emit_prolog): Computate maximum offset of a label.

2004-05-24 18:18 CET Patrik Torstenson <totte@hiddenpeaks.com>

        * mini-x86.c (mono_arch_local_regalloc): the reg allocator
        now tries to allocate prefered physical reg's for virtual
        regs. This reduces the number of emited spills/loads with
        20-30% on our core assemblies.

Mon May 24 18:21:51 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * jit-icalls.c: truncl() is not needed and trunc() is
        the correct thing to do anyway (bug #58287).

2004-05-24  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * mini-sparc.c (mono_arch_flush_icache): Call sync_instruction_memory
        if available.

Mon May 24 12:49:45 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * driver.c: enable loop optimizations by default.

Mon May 24 11:13:46 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini-x86.c: fix calc of max loop size when aligning loops start.

2004-05-23  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * ssa.c (mono_ssa_cprop): Allocate carray dynamically instead of on
        the stack.

2004-05-22  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * mini-sparc.c (mono_arch_output_basic_block): ADD_IMM and SUB_IMM
        should set carry.

        * basic-long.cs: Add tests for add/subtract of immediates with carry.

        * mini.c exceptions-x86.c: Remove MONO_USE_EXC_TABLES stuff.
        
        * mini.c (inline_method): Allways inline some wrappers even if the cost
        is too large. Fixes #58785.

        * mini.c: Add support for MARSHAL_CONV_FTN_DEL.
        
2004-05-21  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * mini-sparc.c exceptions-sparc.c: Applied patch from Mark Crichton
        (crichton@gimp.org). Beginning of support for sparc/linux.

        * mini-sparc.c: Optimize retrieval of LMF address.

Fri May 21 08:00:12 EDT 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

Fri May 21 07:35:30 EDT 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini-ppc.c: cleanups, off-by-one fixes, avoid recursive thunks.

2004-05-20  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * mini.c: Delegate most of the abort signal work to 
          mono_thread_request_interruption, which also handles Stop and Suspend
          states.

2004-05-20  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * mini.c mini.h: Allow inlining of icall wrappers if the backend 
        supports the save/restore lmf opcodes.

2004-05-19  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * mini-x86.c (mono_arch_setup_jit_tls_data): Handle code generated
        by gcc-3.4 as well.

        * mini-x86.h mini-x86.c tramp-x86.c: Optimize lmf restoring code.

2004-05-18  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * mini.h mini.c (mini_method_compile): Only run abc removal pass on 
        methods which contain array accesses.

        * mini.c (CEE_LDTOKEN): Handle this instruction correctly on bb
        boundaries. Fixes #58537.

        * iltests.il: Add regression test for #58537.

2004-05-18  Patrik Torstensson <totte@hiddenpeaks.com>

        * mini-x86.c (mono_arch_local_regalloc): Last part of
        fix for bug #58633 (releasing register to early).

2004-05-18  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * basic-long.cs: Add new regression test.

2004-05-18  Patrik Torstensson <totte@hiddenpeaks.com>

        * mini-x86.c (mono_arch_local_regalloc): Avoid releasing a
        register too early on the chain.

2004-05-18  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * mini.c (create_helper_signature): Use a helper function to reduce
        the code which needs to be written. Also set the calling convention of
        icalls on windows. Fixes #57840.

Tue May 18 11:05:18 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini.h, exceptions-x86.c, exceptions-sparc.c, exceptions-s390.c,
        exceptions-ppc.c: added helper function to get the instruction address
        from a signal handler context.

2004-05-17 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * helpers.c: use g_get_tmp_dir. Invokes happyness 
        from gonzalo.

2004-05-17 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * helpers.c: Add new env variable to pass args to objdump.

        Move some parts of the x86 exception handling code to an 
        arch-independent file so it can be shared with other ports.

Tue Apr 27 12:15:59 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * trace.c, cpu-g4.md, inssel-ppc.brg, mini-ppc.c: some fixes for FP code.

2004-04-26  David Waite  <mass@akuma.org>

        * driver.c: remove comma from end of enumeration declaration

2004-04-26  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * driver.c: parse config file before loading first assembly. This
        allows the user gac to be enabled/disabled. 
        
2004-04-23  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * mini-ppc.c (ppc_patch): Replaced the branch code patching with a
        simpler mechanism: we do not care what is encoded initially
        (branch absolute or relative), we care about the code and its
        target.  I kept the old code for reference for now.

        The new code tries first to determine if the jump is anywhere in
        the -/+32 absolute meg range, if it succeeds, it encodes using the
        absolute branch;  If not, it tried to find something in the
        relative range, if not, it uses the handle_thunk code. 

Fri Apr 23 14:20:40 EDT 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        Raise exception on integer divide by zero by hand since the hw
        doesn't support it. Handle NaNs in FP compares.

Thu Apr 22 16:10:31 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * exceptions-ppc.c, mini-ppc.h, mini.c: simplified some
        code reducing duplication between the platforms and enabled
        signal exception handling (on linux for now).

Wed Apr 21 12:27:48 EDT 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * exceptions.cs (test_0_rethow_stacktrace): Make this work with
        inlining.

2004-04-18 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * iltests.il, basic.cs: more tests for regalloc.

        * exceptions-*.c (mono_arch_handle_exception): Do not overwrite the
        original stack trace if an exception is rethrown. Fixes #56782. Oh,
        the beauty of fixing the same thing in 5 different files...

2004-04-15  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * mini.c (mono_method_to_ir): Do not compute coverage for inlined
        methods.

Wed Apr 14 17:59:09 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * exceptions-ppc.c: more exceptions work.

Wed Apr 14 17:46:22 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini.c: avoid reusing the same MonoInst on multiple trees: this is
        not allowed.

        * mini-ppc.c: Remove unused definitions FLOAT_REGS and
        GENERAL_REGS they were also hardcoded for all PPC ports.

        (add_general): Use PPC_NUM_REG_ARGS instead of GENERAL_REGS.

        Remove hard-coded limit for floating point registers, use
        PPC_LAST_FPARG_REG instead in MONO_TYPE_R4 and MONO_TYPE_R8.

        Notice that in MacOS X calling conventions you can fit a lot more
        floating point values in registers, so I should update the PInvoke
        test to excercise the passing of floating point values on the
        stack (currently broken).
        
2004-04-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * tramp-ppc.c (create_trampoline_code): Added
        JUMP_TRAMPOLINE_SIZE. 
        (ppc_magic_trampoline): Follow the pattern from
        x86_magic_trampoline: if code is set to zero, return.

        trampoline, before it was passing a null.

2003-04-28  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Makefile.am: Link with -export-dynamic so shared libs loaded by
