[mcs.git] / class / corlib / System.Reflection.Emit / ChangeLog

2009-07-08 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * DerivedTypes.cs: Implemented PointerType.

        * TypeBuilder.cs (MakePointerType): Return an
        instance of PointerType.

2009-07-08 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * DerivedTypes.cs: Implemented ByRefType.

        * TypeBuilder.cs (MakeByRefType): Return an
        instance of ByRefType.

2009-07-08 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * DerivedTypes.cs: Refactor the types here to move
        a lot of code to the base DerivedType in preparation
        for upcomming ByRefType and PointerType puppies.

2009-07-07 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * TypeBuilder.cs (IsArrayImpl): Return false always as a
        typebuilder will never represent an array.

        * TypeBuilder.cs (MakeArrayType): Return a new instance of
        ArrayType instead of calling into MonoType machinery.

        * DerivedTypes.cs: New file with all the internal types
        used by SRE to represent derived types from TypeBuilder:
        arrays, pointers and byrefs'.

2009-07-02 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs: Add IsRun property that returns true if
        any execute mode is enabled.

        * ModuleBuilder.cs: Add set_wrappers_type icall to define which type
        is to be bound to wrappers. Create a new abstract type and call it
        when the assembly is build this way.

        Replace explicit checks for global_type with calls to CreateGlobalType.

        * TypeBuilder.cs: Internal ctor now takes an extra table_idx argument.

2009-06-25  Sylvain Dupont <duposyl@gmail.com>

        * CustomAttributeBuilder.cs: Properly handle element type for safe 
          arrays (SafeArraySubType marshal attribute option).

        * ModuleBuilder.cs (DefineManifestResource): expose during
        BOOTSTRAP_NET_2_0 as well.

2009-06-02 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * ILGenerator.cs (EmitCall): Under 2.0 profile ignore optional
        arguments if the method call conv is not vararg.

2009-05-22  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs (.ctor): Error out if the not yet supported 
        RunAndCollect flag was given.

        * AssemblyBuilderAccess.cs: Add RunAndCollect flag for net 4.0.

2009-03-20  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * DynamicMethod.cs (Invoke): Wrap a MethodAccessException inside a
        TargetInvocationException (required for Moonlight 2).

2009-03-18  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * TypeBuilder.cs (GetGenericTypeDefinition): Call the icall instead of
        the base method which now throws an exception.

2009-02-23  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * ILGenerator.cs SignatureHelper.cs: Add checks for user types.

2008-02-21  Jb Evain  <jbevain@novell.com>

        * ModuleBuilder.cs: override GetModuleVersionId
        so that we can get the module guid from Module.ModuleVersionId.

2008-11-23  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs: When assembly is strongnamed, then explicitly
        set PublicKey flag. Do not allow AssemblyFlagsAttribute to overwrite
        flags value, and ignore PublicKey flag if assembly is not strongnamed.
        Fixes bug #432423.

2008-11-11 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * ConstructorOnTypeBuilderInst.cs (MetadataToken): Make this property
        work under compiler context. Same hack as the one applied to
        MethodOnTypeBuilderInst.

        Fixes #442610.

2008-09-23  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * ModuleBuilder.cs: Fixed NRE when default symbol writer cannot be
        loaded. 
 
2008-09-16  Jb Evain  <jbevain@novell.com>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs (AddTypeForwarder): correctly grow the
        type_forwarders array, to make that work for more than one
        type forwarder. Managed part of the fix for #422929.

2008-09-04  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * TypeBuilder.cs: Add mcs specific SetCharSet method.

2008-08-12  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * TypeBuilder.cs (CreateType): Avoid creating a default ctor if the

        * TypeBuilder.cs (GetMethod): A fix for #408933

2008-07-22  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * MethodOnTypeBuilderInst.cs: Change visibility of the parent
        MethodBuilder to internal.

2008-07-22  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * CustomAttributeBuilder.cs (get_umarshal): Add support for all 
        MarshalAsAttribute fields to fix the build.
        
        * CustomAttributeBuilder.cs (get_umarshal): Decode enums properly.

2008-07-21  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * ParameterBuilder.cs, CustomAttributeBuilder.cs: Check for
        UnmanagedType.ByValArray to be used only on fields.

2008-07-16  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * MethodOnTypeBuilderInst.cs: Special case all methods
        under compiler context as needed by mcs. 

        * MethodBuilder.cs: Change the visibility of some fields
        to internal so MethodOnTypeBuilderInst can use it.

2008-07-11  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * ModuleBuilder.cs: Couple of micro optimizations.

2008-07-03  Andreas Nahr  <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * ModuleBuilder.cs: Fix parameter names

2008-06-18 Rodrigo Kumpera <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * TypeBuilder.cs (IsAssignableTo): Fixed check for interfaces
        defined on parent. Based on Geoff's Norton patch.
        Fixes #349194.

2008-06-12  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * MethodBuilder.cs: Removed SetGenericMethodSignature.

2008-06-06  Jb Evain  <jbevain@novell.com>

        * OpCodes.cs: OpCode constrained. is of type InlineType.

2008-05-18  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * TypeBuilder.cs (IsAssignableTo): When an interface is passed as
        argument and the TypeBuilder has been created, also check if parent
        can be assigned to type.

2008-05-15  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * TypeBuilder.cs (.ctor): Convert a null parent to typeof (object) here, not just
        in CreateType (). Fixes #389171.

2008-05-11  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * FieldBuilder.cs: Added null check for type.
        * TypeBuilder.cs: For enums, construct UnderlyingSystemType when
        first instance field is defined instead of having to lookup it up on
        demand. Avoid cast in IsCompilerContext.

2008-05-11  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * TypeBuilder.cs: Use Assembly.FullName instead of AssemblyName.
        In UnderlyingSystemType, return UnderlyingSystemType of created type
        when available. For an enum, UnderlyingSystemType is the type of the
        first instance field. If no instance field is available, throw an
        InvalidOperationException. Retain original behavior when operating in
        compiler context.
        * ConstructorBuilder.cs: Moved implementation of GetParameters to
        GetParametersInternal to allow it to be used internally when type is
        not yet created.
        * CustomAttributeBuilder.cs: Added GetParameters method that uses
        GetParametersInternal on ConstructorBuilder, and use it where
        necessary.      

2008-05-03  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * ConstructorBuilder.cs: Revert the throw not_created () change as it causes
        vbnc bootstrap to fail. Fixes #386419.

2008-05-01  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * ConstructorBuilder.cs: Switch arguments for AORE.

2008-04-30  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * ModuleBuilder.cs (DefineType): Do not perform lookup of in cache if
        name is null to allow correct exception to be thrown (in TypeBuilder
        ctor).
        * TypeBuilder: Moved name argument check to TypeBuilder ctor. Modified
        ArgumentException parameter names to match MS. Removed duplicate check
        for data length from DefineInitializedData. Modified check_name to
        only throw when first character is null char.
        * ConstructorBuilder.cs (GetParameters): Throw NotSupportedException
        (2.0) or InvalidOperationException (1.0) when type is not yet created
        and we're not in compiler context. Return empty array when no
        parameters are defined.
        (MethodHandle): Always throw NotSupportedException.
        (DefineParameter): Prevent NRE when parameters is null.
        (GetCustomAttributes): When not in compiler context, always throw
        NotSupportedException.
        * ConstructorOnTypeBuilderInst.cs: Delegate to ConstructorBuilder
        where possible. Fixed ContainsGenericParameters and IsGenericMethod
        to always return false. In MethodBase.Invoke, throw an
        InvalidOperationException instead of NIE.

2008-04-26  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * MethodOnTypeBuilderInst.cs: Added overrides for ReturnType and 
        GetGenericMethodDefinition. Implement GetGenericArgument,
        IsGenericMethod(Definition). Throw NotSupportedException instead of
        NotImplementedException.

2008-04-26  Jb Evain  <jbevain@novell.com>

        * ILGenerator.cs, AssemblyBuilder.cs, TypeBuilder.cs:
        replace usages of new Type [0] by Type.EmptyTypes.
        Found with Gendarme.

2008-04-22  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * MethodOnTypeBuilderInst.cs ConstructorOnTypeBuilderInst: New files.

2008-03-29  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs: Added enum that determines the type of the
        native (version) resource. Added fields for holding the native
        resource type and the version culture. The versioninfo_culture was
        introduced to hold the original culture of the assembly, since
        the AssemblyCultureAttribute should only affect the language of the
        versioninfo block when not used in compiler context. Move constructin
        of native version info to DefineVersionInfoResourceImpl to allow
        attributes to affect the versioninfo after DefineVersionInfoResource
        has been invoked. Allow ArgumentException for invalid culture string
        to bubble up. In compiler context, use FileVersion as default value
        for ProductionVersion.

2008-03-14  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * FieldOnTypeBuilderInst.cs: New file.

2008-03-11  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * MethodBuilder.cs (GetGenericArguments): Returns Type.EmptyType.

2008-03-06  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs: Define GetManifestModule () for net 2.0 bootstrap too.

        * DynamicMethod.cs: Create a dynamic assembly to hold the anon hosted methods.
        
        * DynamicMethod.cs: Add net 3.5 ctor overloads.

        * ModuleBuilder.cs (RegisterToken): New icall.

        * MethodBuilder.cs (ctor): Call ModuleBuilder.RegisterToken (), so the token gets
        added to the internal hash table. Fixes #367668.

        * ConstructorBuilder.cs: Ditto.
        
2008-03-06  Jb Evain  <jbevain@novell.com>

        * SignatureHelper.cs (GetMethodSigHelper): if returnType
        is null, use typeof (void) instead. Fixes #367663.

2008-03-03 Rodrigo Kumpera <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * MethodBuilder.cs (check_override): Added, verify if this method has explicit
        override set and doesn't follow virtual settings of overriden method.

        * TypeBuilder.cs (CreateType): Call MethodBuilder::check_override before
        creating the type.

        Fixes #361689.

2008-01-29  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * ModuleBuilder.cs: Fix build.

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs (GetTypes): Implement this entirely in managed code.

        * ModuleBuilder.cs (GetTypes): Replace TypeBuilders with their created types to
        match MS.

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs: Override GetModulesInternal () so we can return
        ModuleBuilders.

2008-01-25  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * TypeBuilder.cs (GenerateDebugInfo): Emit debug info for nested types as well.
        Fixes #356316.

2008-01-21  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs: Introduce magic value for AssemblyBuilderAccess
        to signal usage from a compiler. On 2.0 profile, perform argument
        check for access. Use AssemblyFlags passed in through AssemblyName
        arguments. Modified SetCustomAttribute to only use the Assembly*
        attribute for constructing the assembly name when used in compiler
        context. Fixes corlib part of bug #354970.

2008-01-17  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * TypeBuilder.cs (GetConstructorImpl): Add back the code removed by the last
        patch since it is needed when building mscorlib.

2008-01-16  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * TypeBuilder.cs (GetConstructorImpl): Use GetConstructor on created
        type. Original implementation did not take into account the binding
        flags and failed with a NotSupportedException if the default binder
        checked if a ParamArrayAttribute was defined. It also does not make
        sense to return a ConstructorBuilder once the type is emitted.
        (GetConstructors): When the type is emitted, use GetConstructors
        on the created type.
        (GetFields): Removed duplicate code.
        (GetMethodsByName): Fixed matching of methods in the parent class
        depending on their accessibility:
        - Private: never include private methods of parent
        - Public: ignore if Public flag is not set
        - Assembly: ignore if NonPublic is not set or when on the 1.0 profile
        - Rest (Family, FamANDAssem, FamORAssem): ignore if NonPublic flag is
          not set
        Static methods of the parent are ignored unless the FlattenHierarchy
        flag is set.
        (GetProperties): When the type is emitted, use GetProperties on the
        created type as the TypeBuilder implementation itself does not include
        properties from the parent class.

2007-12-31  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs (UnprotectedGetName): Set the public key token
        as well.

2007-12-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * FieldBuilder.cs (GetToken): Use the MetadataToken property.

2007-11-20  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * GenericTypeParameterBuilder.cs : fixed regression.
          GenericParameterAttributes also needs some special care.

2007-11-20  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * MethodBuilder.cs : implemented ContainsGenericParameters().
        * GenericTypeParameterBuilder.cs : removed most of extra members
          and added missing members for 2.0 API.

2007-11-18  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * SignatureHelper.cs: Implement Equals and GetHashCode

2007-11-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * SignatureHelper.cs: Preparational tasks to support the
        AddArgument overloads that allow the specification of modopts and
        modreqs. 

        Refactor code, add new parameters. 

        * SignatureHelper.cs (AddArguments): Add new 2.0 API, used by
        new versions of the DLR.   Currently does not have support for
        modreq, modopts.   Just a simple wrapper as consumed by the DLR.

2007-11-16  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs : added missing 2.0 member.
        * DynamicMethod.cs : removed extra stuff.
        * DynamicILInfo.cs : no public .ctor().
        * ILGenerator.cs : fixed 2.0 member signatures.

2007-11-16  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * EnumBuilder.cs, TypeBuilder.cs : implemented missing 2.0
          stuff, in harmless manner.

2007-11-16  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * ConstructorBuilder.cs : added CallingConvention.

2007-11-16  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * SignatureHelper.cs : Module can be null, and for non-
          ModuleBuilder argument, throw ArgumentException.
          Added missing 2.0 stuff.

2007-11-08  Rodrigo Kumpera <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * TypeBuilder.cs: Workaround for #82625 not needed anymore.
        GetFields() returns the created type fields.

2007-10-15  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * ILGenerator.cs: Added missing null checks. Removed extra tabs.

2007-09-23  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs: Added missing paramname to ArgumentExceptions.
        Use String.Length to check for zero-length string.

2007-09-23  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs (GetManifestModule): Return a ModuleBuilder here to
        match MS.NET.

2007-09-22  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * TypeBuilder.cs: Do not include static methods of base class in
        GetMethod(s). Fixes bug #327482.

2007-09-14  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs (DefineVersionInfoResource): Allow the arguments to be
        null. Fixes #82832.

2007-09-11  Jb Evain  <jbevain@novell.com>

        * DynamicMethod.cs: store the owner of the DynamicMethod.

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

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs (DefineUnmanagedResource): Open file read-only. Fixes
        #72764.

2007-09-02  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * TypeBuilder.cs: Add a workaround for #82625 to make nemerle work again.

2007-08-29  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs: In DefineIconResource, open icon in read-only
        mode. Fixes bug #82617.

2007-08-17  Rolf Bjarne Kvinge  <RKvinge@novell.com>

        * ILGenerator.cs: Change BeginCatchBlock to end the current filter block if called with a null exceptionType. Added ILExceptionBlock.FILTER_START to be able to track if we're in a filter block or not. Renamed PatchLastClauseStart to PatchFilterClause to match better what it does, and make it update the handler's type to FILTER. Fixes #81431.

2007-08-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * DynamicILInfo.cs: New file.

        * DynamicMethod.cs (GetDynamicILInfo): New 2.0 method.

2007-07-11  Rodrigo Kumpera <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * TypeBuilder.cs (CreateType): method did not check for enum type with defined methods and fixed compatibility issue in case of calling CreateType again after the first one failed, it now returns null as well.

2007-07-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * OpCodeType.cs EventToken.cs FieldToken.cs SignatureToken.cs PackingSize.cs
        StringToken.cs AssemblyBuilderAccess.cs FlowControl.cs MethodToken.cs
        ParameterToken.cs TypeToken.cs PropertyToken.cs OperandType.cs PEFileKinds.cs

        * TypeBuilder.cs: Same.

2007-07-06  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * TypeBuilder.cs: Throw InvalidOperationException when attempting to
        construct non-abstract interface without base type. Modified SetParent
        to match MS: in 2.0 profile, throw InvalidOperationException when 
        parent is null and TypeBuilder is non-abstract interface. When
        parent is null and TypeBuilder is not an interface, then set object
        as parent. In 1.0 profile, throw ArgumentNullException when parent is
        null.

2007-07-06  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * TypeBuilder.cs: Implemented IsCOMObjectImpl.

2007-07-04  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        actual resource (bug #80339).

2006-10-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs: Am doing a try/catch for pulling the LCID
        from the AssemblyCulture that is provided, as Microsoft allows
        arbitrary locales (even non-existing ones) to be specified.

        The .locale information is actually pulled from the AssemblyName,
        not from this lcid.  But this LCID is used to encode the
        resource.  In my exploration of this, we are setting this field,
        even if CSC never sets the field itself (its always zero).

        Maybe we should completely remove this.

        * OpCodes.cs (TakesSingleByteArgument): Add this back.

2004-08-05  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>     

        This patch is based on an idea of Ben's to reduce the code size
        in MCS. 

        * OpCodes.cs: Instead pushing the data onto the stack when each
        OpCode is initialized, pack the data into 2 ints and store only
        that.  Furthermore, the names of each OpCode are stored in a
        separate string array in the new OpCodeNames class.

        * OpCodeNames.cs: The names of each OpCode are moved here to delay
        the initialization of the strings, as they are not used frequently.

        * OpCode.cs: Rewrote this to take in everything as 2 ints.

        ILGenerator.DeclaraLocal that takes the `bool pinned' argument. 

        * ILGenerator.cs (DeclareLocal): Add `pinned' version of the
        method on the 2.0 profile.

2004-07-02  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        created, and throw NotSupportedException for methods and
        properties that should not be called on FieldBuilder

2004-06-09  Gert Driesen <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * MethodBuilder.cs: move check to see if type has already

2004-05-25  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * MethodBuilder.cs: Now use FastNewGuidArray to create new random 
        Guids without using CryptoConfig. Speed up for MCS.

2003-12-20  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs (AddModule): New internal method to support 
        /addmodule in mcs.

2003-12-19  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs: New internal property to support /target:module in
        mcs.

2003-12-18  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * ILGenerator.cs: Applied patch from Ben Maurer 
        (bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net). Allocate arrays holding label data
        lazily and reduce their size.

2003-12-17  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs (MonoResource): New 'offset' field used by the
        runtime.

        * ModuleBuilder.cs: Double the size of the types array during insertion
        do avoid excessive memory allocation and copying. Track the number of
        types in a separate variable.

        * TypeBuilder.cs: Same for the 'fields' and 'methods' arrays.

2003-12-03  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

2003-11-24  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * DynamicMethod.cs: New class.

        * ILGenerator.cs MethodBuilder.cs ConstructorBuilder.cs: Retrieve 
        tokens from a token generator object instead of from the ModuleBuilder,
        to support the implementation of DynamicMethod. Also get rid of the 
        unused 'mbuilder' field.

        * ModuleBuilder.cs: Create a token generator object which can be
        passed to ILGenerator.

        * LocalBuilder.cs ILGenerator.cs: Get rid of 'module' field, obtain 
        needed objects from the ilgen object instead.

2003-11-21  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * TypeBuilder.cs FieldBuilder.cs MethodBuilder.cs ConstructorBuilder.cs:  Add support for custom modifiers from NET 1.2.

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs (DefineDynamicModule): Make internal method
        private.

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs (Save): Write out the main module at the end.
        
2003-11-06  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>
        
        * ConstructorBuilder.cs (.ctor): Automatically add RTSpecialName flag
        as MS does.

2003-11-06  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * ModuleBuilder.cs (ModuleBuilder.Save): Call `build_metadata'
        before writing the symbol file.

2003-11-06  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs (.ctor): Initialize the 'dir' field to something
        sensible.
        
        * AssemblyBuilder.cs (Save): Set 'created' flag.

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs (get_next_table_index): Moved to ModuleBuilder,
        since table indexes are per-module.

2003-11-03  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * TypeBuilder.cs (DefineDefaultConstructor): Pass an array instead of 
        null to DefineConstructor, to avoid NullReferenceExceptions in the 
        binder code.

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs ModuleBuilder.cs ILGenerator.cs: Move getUSIndex 
        and getToken methods, and the associated icalls to ModuleBuilder, 
        since tokens are per-module.

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs ModuleBuilder.cs: Partially revert the previous
        patch, since having the 'is_main' field is useful in the unmanaged 
        code.

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs ModuleBuilder.cs: Move the metadata creation and
        file creation logic to ModuleBuilder:Save (), since this needs to be
        done for every module. Also move the corresponding icalls to 
        ModuleBuilder.

2003-11-03  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs ModuleBuilder.cs: First steps toward a fix for
        #48700 (proper module support in Ref.Emit). Remove is_main field from
        ModuleBuilder and add a mainModule field to AssemblyBuilder instead.
        This is neccesary, since the main module is determined during the 
        Save () call: the module with the same file name as the assembly is
        the main module. Also create a default main module, if one is not
        existing.

2003-11-03  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * OpCodes.cs: Added Ldelem_Any, Stelem_Any and Unbox_Any from .NET 1.2.

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs (SetCustomAttribute): Changed PK extraction to
        use Mono.Security.StrongName (#49785).

2003-10-18  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs (SetCustomAttribute): Extract the public key from
        the keyfile.

2003-10-17  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs (SetCustomAttribute): Ignore empty keyfile name.
        
        * AssemblyBuilder.cs: Moved loading of the public key file into
        managed code from reflection.c. 

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs: Set cultureInfo and version from the AssemblyName
        passed to the constructor.

2003-10-13  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * MethodBuilder.cs (MethodBuilder): Added
        `TypeBuilder.MonoGenericParam[] generic_params' field.

2003-10-03  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * TypeBuilder.cs (CreateType): Fire TypeResolve events for unfinished 
        nested value types. Fixes #47022.

2003-09-29  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * TypeBuilder.cs: Really fix #48695.

Sat Sep 27 16:17:08 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

2003-09-26  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * TypeBuilder.cs (DefineDefaultConstructor): Make this work on types
        without a parent. Fixes #48695.

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

        * TypeBuilder.cs (TypeBuilder.CreateType): Don't append the type
        parameters to the type name; ie. use `Stack' instead of `Stack<T>'.

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

        * TypeBuilder.cs (TypeBuilder.IsUnboundGenericParameter): Implemented.

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

        * TypeBuilder.cs (TypeBuilder.MonoGenericParam): Make this nested
        class internal, not protected.

2003-08-29  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * TypeBuilder.cs (TypeBuilder.DefineGenericParameter): New public
        method.  We can now create generic types.
        (TypeBuilder.GetGenericTypeDefinition): Override this; call the
        `setup_internal_class' interncall before calling our base impl.

Sat Aug  2 13:04:55 BST 2003 Malte Hildingson <malte@amy.udd.htu.se>

        * ILGenerator.cs: Emission of doubles now utilise the Double.AssertEndianity
        icall to assert double word endianity on ARM.

2003-07-25  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * OpCodes.cs (Boxval): Marked with ObsoleteAttribute.

2003-07-24  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * TypeBuilder.cs: Added generics stubs.

        * EnumBuilder.cs: Added generics  stubs, changed bracing style for
        routines.

2003-07-23  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * SignatureHelper.cs: This class does not have the
        SerializableAttribute.

2003-07-11  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs: Added argument checking to all methods according

Tue Jun 3 11:14:51 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * ILGenerator.cs, OpCode.cs: optimize opcode space usage.

Tue Jun 3 11:13:22 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * UnmanagedMarshal.cs: add ability to define custom attributes (the MS
        runtime doesn't support this).

2003-05-30  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * TypeBuilder.cs: Implement DefineTypeInitializer.

2003-05-21  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * ModuleBuilder.cs: 
        - Implement DefineInitializedData in terms of DefineUninitializedData
        - Name the types of global fields $ArrayType$<len> to cut back on the
        number of types created
        - Add argument checking

2003-05-19  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs: Implement GetDynamicModule. "Implement" various
        methods not supported under MS.NET.

2003-05-18  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs (corlib_void_type): New internal field.
        (SetCorlibTypeBuilders): Added overloaded version which takes 4
        arguments to set the `corlib_void_type'.

        * TypeBuilder.cs: Use `pmodule.assemblyb.corlib_void_type' instead
        of `typeof (void)' to make this work when compiling corlib.

Thu May 15 19:16:54 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * MethodBuilder.cs: off by one in CreateMethodBody().
        * TypeBuilder.cs: if the return type for a method is null, use void.

2003-04-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * MethodBuilder.cs: Mono allows the parameter position to be zero
        to indicate the "returns:" attribute.

2003-04-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ILGenerator.cs (EmitCall): Implement.

        Flag a few unimplemented methods with MonoTODO, make coding style
        for method definitions Mono consistent.

2003-04-17  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * ILGenerator.cs: Implement EmitWriteLine methods.

        * TypeBuilder.cs (CreateType): Avoid creating a default constructor
        for the global type.

2003-04-15  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * TypeBuilder.cs (DefineDefaultConstructor): Make it generate code
        by default for a default constructor.  This is what the MS runtime
        does.  The PythonNet code expected this.

        (TypeBuilder.GetConstructorImpl): Implement this.

        (TypeBuilder.CreateType): If there are no constructors defined, we
        create one.

Tue Apr 15 13:50:41 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * ModuleBuilder.cs, TypeBuilder.cs: set nesting_type before
        calling setup_internal_class ().

2003-03-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs: Added 'access' member, which is needed by the
        runtime.

2003-03-26  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * ILGenerator.cs: Implemented ThrowException.

2003-03-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * ILGenerator.cs: Propagate maxstack info along branches.

2003-03-06  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * ILGenerator.cs (Emit): Do not pop the arguments off the stack for
        ldftn etc. Fixes bug #39196.

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

        * ILGenerator.cs (Emit): Add fixup for already created methods and
        fields. Do not add fixup for types since their table index do not 
        change any more.

2003-02-26  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * TypeBuilder.cs (DefineInitializedData): Removed unnecessary assignments.

        * ModuleBuilder.cs (DefineInitializedData): Do not call 
        TypeBuilder::DefineInitializedData since that would mean defining a
        nested type of the global type, which is wrong. Instead define a
        new public type as MS does.

        * ModuleBuilder.cs (DefineUninitializedData): Ditto.

Thu Feb 13 18:40:52 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

          with MS.NET.

2003-02-09  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * TypeBuilder.cs:
        - Added basic error checking to all methods according to the MSDN docs.
        - fixed AssemblyQualifiedName.
        - implemented 'Size'.
        - modified a lot of methods to throw NotSupportedException, to comply
          with MS.NET.
        - changes tested by running a full bootstrap.

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

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs (AssemblyBuilder.methods): Removed.  This was
        a hack for the symbol writer which is no longer needed.

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

        * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (DefineNamespace, OpenMethod): New methods.

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

        * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs (MarkSequencePoint): New method which takes
        just the required arguments as scalars, not arrays.

        * ILGenerator.cs (ILGenerator.MarkSequencePoint): Use that new
        interface method; unnecessarily creating such a large number of
        arrays is both slow and too memory consuming.   

2003-02-08  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * MethodBuilder.cs: Added error checking to methods so they conform to
        MSDN docs. Implemented 'GetModule' and 'CallingConvention' members. 
        Some other tweaks to improve compatibility with MS .NET.

        * TypeBuilder.cs: Added 'is_created' property which will be used for
        checking 'type is already created' errors.

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

        * ModuleBuilder.cs (.ctor): Added `bool IsMainModule' argument.
        (Save): New internal method; creates the module's symbol file if
        we're compiling with debugging information.

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs (EmbedResource): Added internal overloaded
        version of this method which takes a `byte[] blob' instead of a file.
        (DefineDynamicMethod): If this is the first module, tell the
        ModuleBuilder that this is the main module.
        (Save): Call a new interncall `build_metadata' to create the final
        metadata and save all the symbol files before creating the actual
        output.

        * IMonoSymbolWriter.cs: New public class; it is in the namespace
        Mono.CSharp.Debugger.  The Mono symbol writer implements this interface.

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

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs: added GetToken (SignatureHelper).

        * ILGenerator.cs: implemented EmitCalli() methods

        * SignatureHelper.cs: implemented GetMethoSigHelper() methods.

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

        * MethodBuilder.cs: GetBaseDefinition () returns this.

Mon Jan 27 17:07:38 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * CustomAttributeBuilder.cs, FieldBuilder.cs: applied
        (reformatted) patch from "Jerome Laban" <jlaban@wanadoo.fr>
        to fix ByValStr and ByValArray encodings.

2003-01-27  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs: fixed compilation with csc.

2003-01-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs (Save): Set the executable bit at the end.
        This uses a non-official enumeration value to call SetFileAttributes.

2003-01-17  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * MethodBuilder.cs ConstructorBuilder.cs: modify GetParameters() so it
        returns information even when the app did not use DefineParameter() to
        define the parameters.

        * ConstructorBuilder.cs (ctor): allways define SpecialName attribute
        for constructors as done by MS.

Mon Jan 13 11:37:14 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * TypeBuilder.cs, ModuleBuilder.cs: better type name cache.

2003-01-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * ILGenerator.cs: Implemented EmitWriteLine(string).

        * TypeBuilder.cs (DefineInitializedData): Call DefineNestedType() 
        instead of DefineType() so the auxiliary types do not pollute the 
        global namespace. This is consistent with the behaviour of MS .NET.

Fri Jan 10 16:03:30 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * ILGenerator.cs, MethodBuilder.cs, TypeBuilder.cs,
        ConstructorBuilder.cs: some tweaks to reduce memory usage.

Thu Jan 2 18:46:09 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * ModuleBuilder.cs, TypeBuilder.cs: support global fields and methods.

Thu Dec 19 00:06:57 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * AssemblyBuilder.cs: remove duplicated user string entries.

2002-12-11  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * FieldBuilder.cs: added 'handle' field which is needed by some new
        code in reflection.c.

2002-12-04  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * TypeBuilder.cs: implemented GetInterfaceMap () when the Type has been
        created.

Fri Nov 8 14:53:03 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * ILGenerator.cs: account for the exception object being passed to the
        catch handler to calc max_stack.

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

        * ModuleBuilder.cs (ModuleBuilder.symbol_writer): Make this
        field internal, not private.
        (ModuleBuilder.SymWriter_DefineLocalVariable): Removed.

        * LocalBuilder.cs (LocalBuilder.SetLocalSymInfo): Use the
        ISymbolWriter's DefineLocalVariable() method instead of the
        IMonoSymbolWriter hack.

Mon Sep 16 19:02:58 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * AssemblyBuilder.c: special case some custom attributes.

2002-09-12  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * TypeBuilder.cs: Say _which_ Type has already been created

2002-09-11  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>
