        are gathered. Run with: MONO_RTC=4096 mono --profiler=default:stat ....
        The MONO_RTC value must be restricted to what the linux rtc allows:

        * mini-amd64.c (mono_arch_local_regalloc): Port regalloc fix from
        x86 branch.

2005-01-05  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * mini.c (reverse_branch_op): New helper function.

        * mini.c (optimize_branches): Run the new optimization only on 
        platforms which support it. Also reverse all kinds of branches.

        * mini.h (MonoBasicBlock): Add 'out_of_line' field.

        * mini.c (mono_method_to_ir): Set 'out_of_line' for bblocks which have
        a throw statement.

        * mini.c (optimize_branches): Reverse not-equals branches if the false

        * inssel-amd64.brg: Add some optimization rules.

2004-12-24  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * aot.c: Remove the use of MonoGHashTable and other GC stuff. The
        standard not GC'd stuff is fine.

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.

        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.

        * 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.

        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>

        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).

        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

        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).

        * 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>

        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

        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.

        * 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>

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'

        * 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.

2004-11-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mini.c (mono_method_to_ir): Use `STACK_OBJ' instead of
        `ldind_type [CEE_LDIND_REF]' (which would be beyond the end of
        that array).

2004-11-24  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * mini.c (mono_method_to_ir): Disable inlining for methods containing

2004-11-23  Geoff Norton  <gnorton@customerdna.com>

        * inssel-ppc.brg, mini-ppc.c: Use mono_class_from_mono_type instead of
        vt->inst_vtype->data.klass.  This fixes generic structs and bug #69766

2004-11-23  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * Makefile.am (MCS,ILASM): Don't refer to runtime/ directory.
        Refer directly to the mcs/ tree.

        with localloc if needed. Throe arithmetric exception in
        div an rem if needed. Implement ovf checks in OP_LCONV_TO_OVF_I.
        Adapted from a patch by Geoff Norton  <gnorton@customerdna.com>.

2004-11-19  Geoff Norton  <gnorton@customerdna.com>

        * mini-ppc.c: Call mono_type_get_underlying_type to unwrap generic

2004-11-07  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * tramp-*.c: we no longer support icalls without wrappers, so
        a bit of code can be removed here

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.

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

        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.

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.

        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

        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

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.

        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

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).

        * 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

        * 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.

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.

        * 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.

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

        (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

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.

          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

        here.

Mon May 3 22:58:51 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * inssel-ppc.brg: another small pre-release workaround:
        we don't do overflow detection for long_sub_un.

Sun May 2 20:12:22 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini.c, mini-ops, inssel-long32.brg: speedup ulong >> 32
        (also works around a weird ppc bug: 57957).

Sat May 1 16:56:10 EDT 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        at the top of the stack. Fixed typos. Use a frame registers
        for all the methods with exception clauses.

Thu Apr 29 18:52:09 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * exceptions-ppc.c: restore fp registers.

Thu Apr 29 18:26:56 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini-ppc.c, exceptions-ppc.c: save the registers in reverse
        order from the stack top (moved the stack room to save the
        return value for trace after the param area). Fixed corruption
        in restoring registers on unwind.

Thu Apr 29 16:47:15 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini-ppc.c, cpu-g4.md: fixed unisgned -> double conversion.

Thu Apr 29 13:50:51 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * exceptions-ppc.c, mini-ppc.h, mini-ppc.c: fixed localloc
        and prolog/epilog for methods that use it. Allow
        enough param area room for varargs methods. Fix miguel's
        breakage in exception handling.

Thu Apr 29 12:06:51 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini.c mini-exceptions.c mini-x86.h exceptions-x86.c Makefile.am:
        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>

Thu Apr 22 18:08:37 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mini-ppc.c, cpu-g4.md: made the branch macros more flexible.
        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>

        * liveness.c: Mark variables as volatile in all basic blocks reachable
        from exception clauses.

2004-04-18  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * 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.

2004-04-14  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * mini.c: Add support for STRWLPARRAY marshalling convention.

Wed Apr 14 18:15:55 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * exceptions-ppc.c: missing fixes in mono_jit_walk_stack (need
        to init the context to setup the regs pointer).

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.

2004-04-13  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * inssel-x86.brg (reg): Add new rules for add, sub and mul that
        can use the memory directly.

        * cpu-pentium.md: Update documentation from a post from Zoltan. 

        add x86_add_membase, x86_sub_membase, x86_mul_membase

2004-04-13  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * 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. 
        (create_trampoline_code): Always pass MonoMethod to the jump
        trampoline, before it was passing a null.
        (mono_arch_create_jump_trampoline): Implement the jump stub, could
        share the code with mono_arch_create_jit_trampoline.

        implemented.
        (mono_arch_patch_code): MONO_PATCH_INFO_METHOD_JUMP patch type
        implemented.  

        * cpu-g4.md: Added length for jmp instruction, the worst case
        scenario is 92 bytes (4 mandatory bytes, potential 19 registers

        (mono_method_to_ir): Added `constrained_call' variable.
        (mono_method_to_ir:CEE_CONSTRAINED_): Set it.

        mono_method_get_constrained() to get the method.

2004-04-01  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mini.c (TYPE_PARAM_TO_TYPE, TYPE_PARAM_TO_CLASS): Removed.
        (MTYPE_PARAM_TO_TYPE, MTYPE_PARAM_TO_CLASS): Removed.

        * aot.c: set aot_verbose to 0, fixed format string that caused sigsegv,
        use @function (as doesn't accept #function here) and check the return

        * inssel.brg mini-ops.h mini.c: Use OP_REFANYTYPE instead of 
        CEE_REFANYTYPE, since CEE_REFANYTYPE needs a prefix to be unique.

        * inssel.brg: Fix register allocation in OP_ARGLIST.

        * inssel.brg: Fix warnings.

2004-03-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        (TYPE_PARAM_TO_TYPE, MTYPE_PARAM_TO_TYPE): mono_method_to_ir() has
        a new local variable called `generic_context' which holds the
        current `MonoGenericContext *'; use it to lookup things.

2004-03-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mini.c (mini_get_class): New static method; if we're inside a
        generic instance, inflate the class if neccessary.
        (mono_method_to_ir): Use mini_get_class() instead of mono_class_get().

        have a `field->parent->gen_params', only inflate the field if it's
        an open constructed type.

2004-03-17  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * exceptions-x86.c (mono_arch_handle_exception): Allocate a new

        * mini.c: in mono_method_to_ir, CEE_ISINST and CEE_CASTCLASS cases, if the
        type being casted is marshalbyref it could be a proxy, so instead of
        emitting the type check code, emit a call to a runtime method that will
        perform the check by calling CanCastTo if needed.

        already done.
        (mono_method_to_ir): Avoid freeing the type created returned from

        * tramp-x86.c (x86_class_init_trampoline): New trampoline function
        which calls mono_runtime_class_init and patches the call site to
        avoid further calls.
        (mono_arch_create_class_init_trampoline): New arch specific function 
        to create a class init trampoline.
        (create_trampoline_code): Generalized so it can create

        vtable given the address of a class init trampoline. Used by the
        patching process.
        (mono_codegen): Generate a call to a trampoline instead of
        mono_runtime_class_init in LDSFLD[A].
        (mono_codegen): Add relocations for the new trampoline.

        * mini.h: Bump AOT version number.

        * aot.c: Create a copy of the loaded code instead of using the original
        so methods which call each other will be close in memory, improving
        cache behaviour.
        
        * exceptions-x86.c (mono_arch_has_unwind_info): Back out the previous
        patch since it breaks the regression tests.
        
        * exceptions-x86.c (mono_arch_has_unwind_info): Added explicit check
        for the register saving instruction sequence since the

        to g_module_symbol.
        - reworked the file format so it is now much smaller and needs
        fewer relocation entries.

        system exceptions from AOT code now works.

        * tramp-x86.c (x86_magic_trampoline): Avoid patching the calling 
        method if it is domain neutral and the callee is not.
