[mono/afaerber.git] / mono / metadata / ChangeLog

2010-03-09  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c: Fix crash in moon-unit when aname->culture is NULL
        instead of an empty string.

2010-03-09  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * object-internals.h (_G_BOOLEAN_EXPR): Fix the definition of this to explicitly
        convert to a boolean, recent gcc versions compile this differently.

2010-03-09  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c (STRING_SIZE): Off by one.

2010-03-09  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-archdep.h: Fix the signal context register access for
        AMD64.

2010-03-09  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gray.c: Get rid of the unused 'start' field in GrayQueueSection.

2010-03-08  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c: Store the initial basic block returned by mono_basic_block_split
        so we can release the whole list and not just the first one.

Mon Mar 8 17:30:44 CET 2010 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * verify.c, debug-helpers.c, profiler.c, loader.c,
        mono-basic-block.c, mono-debug.c, reflection.c: prepare to make
        MonoMethodHeader a transient entity.

2010-03-08  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c (scan_needed_big_objects): Call drain_gray_stack () to avoid
        uncontrolled growth of the gray stack.

        * sgen-gray.c: Rewrite this so it behaves like a stack, not a queue, so recently
        added items are removed first, improving cache locality. Avoid freeing queue
        segments in the fast path, use the list of segments as the free list, truncate
        it to its max size at the start of collection.

Mon Mar 8 10:13:52 CET 2010 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata-internals.h: more memory savings, both with small config and without.


Sat Mar 6 19:12:12 CET 2010 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c, domain-internals.h, domain.c, object.c:
        make class_vtable_hash into an array to reduce memory usage.

Sat Mar 6 18:16:35 CET 2010 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mempool.c, class-internals.h, class.c, icall.c, metadata.c,
        object-internals.h, object.c, reflection.c, threadpool.c:
        reduce resource usage when the small config is selected.
        In particular, up to 64K of methods/fields/properties/events
        are allowed and "other" methods in events are ignored.

Fri Mar 5 19:05:47 CET 2010 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * threads.c: reduce resource usage when compiled for a small config.

2010-03-05  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c: Also collect number of degraded-alloced objects with
        heavy statistics.

2010-03-04  Geoff Norton  <gnorton@novell.com>

        * assembly.c: Only support OSX bundling if the bundle is 
        actually detectable.

2010-03-04  Geoff Norton  <gnorton@novell.com>

        * loader.c: The marshal specs are freed at the end of the call
        but it explicitly frees the strings as well as the container,
        so we need to dup them too to avoid referencing free'd memory.

2010-03-04  Geoff Norton  <gnorton@novell.com>

        * icall-def.h:
        * icall.c: Add a new private internal icall to construct
        an object from its type without running the ctor.

Thu Mar 4 15:37:09 CET 2010 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * profiler.c: allow multiple profiler engines to be loaded
        at the same time.

Wed Mar 3 20:19:45 CET 2010 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * profiler-private.h, profiler.c, profiler.h, sgen-gc.c: introduce
        profiler event to track object moves.

Wed Mar 3 19:20:39 CET 2010 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.c, profiler.c, profiler.h, string-icalls.c:
        remove the reduntant MONO_PROFILE_STRING_ALLOC profiler event.

2010-03-03  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * decimal.c (mono_double2decimal): Add support for reducing the
        scale of a decimal.  It turns the 0.6000000000000 into 0.6 as
        expected.

2010-03-03 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * icall-def.h:
        * icall.c: Implement System.MonoType::get_core_clr_security_level icall.

2010-03-03  Marek Habersack  <mhabersack@novell.com>

        * mono-config.c (mono_config_parse_assembly_bindings): added -
        parses assembly binding redirections from appdomain's config
        file.

        * metadata-internals.h: added definition of a new function -
        mono_config_parse_assembly_bindings - to support parsing assembly
        binding redirections defined in appdomain's config file.

        * domain-internals.h: added two new fields to _MonoDomain - a list
        of assembly bindings and a flag to parse the config file only
        once.

        * assembly.c (assembly_binding_maps_name): empty culture name and
        NULL culture name are considered equal.
        (mono_assembly_apply_binding): added support for domain specific
        assembly binding redirections, read from the appdomain's
        configuration file. Fixes bug #580185

Wed Mar 3 11:46:06 CET 2010 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c, domain.c, icall.c, image.c, marshal.c, object.c,
        reflection.c, socket-io.c, threadpool.c, threads.c: removed 1.1/1.0
        support.

2010-03-02 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * reflection.c (mono_image_get_memberref_token): Extract mono_image_add_memberef_row
        from this function. The new function receive the parent token instead of a type.

        * reflection.c (mono_image_get_methodref_token_for_methodbuilder):
        * reflection.c (mono_image_get_ctorbuilder_token): Use new function to encode
        typebuilders. This make it possible to properly encode generic type builders since
        their unmanaged type don't have generics data while unfinished.

        Fixes #583655.

2010-03-02  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c, sgen-protocol.c, sgen-protocol.h: New facility for
        writing binary log files (can be enabled by #define'ing
        BINARY_PROTOCOL) for better debugging of timing-dependent bugs or
        bugs in longer running programs.

Mon Mar 1 19:35:32 CET 2010 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c: added some API documentation.

2010-03-01  Robert Jordan  <robertj@gmx.net>

        * filewatcher.h: Include glib.h to fix the MSVC build.

2010-03-01  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * class-internals.h (MonoClass): Get rid of the reflection_info field, add
        a GC handle instead. This is a bit slower to access, but avoids burdening the
        GC with 100s of individual roots.

        * reflection.c (mono_class_get_ref_info):
        (mono_class_set_ref_info):
        (mono_class_free_ref_info): New internal helper fuctions.

        * reflection.c appdomain.c icall.c class.c: Use the new helper functions instead
        of accessing klass->reflection_info directly.

        * sgen-gc.c (alloc_complex_descriptor): Fix the computation of the number of
        words.

        * gc.c (alloc_handle): Create a GC descriptor for the 'entries' array, free
        the previous array.

2010-02-28  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * marshal.c (get_runtime_invoke_type): Avoid sharing byref with I, as the latter
        needs an indirection.

2010-02-26  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * generic-sharing.c: Removed, moved its contents to mini/mini-generic-sharing.c,
        so all generic sharing code is in one place.

        * class.c (get_implicit_generic_array_interfaces): Fix the last change so
        we don't call setup_interface_offsets () for unfinished types.

2010-02-26  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_generic_sharing_enabled): Move this to
        generic-sharing.c.

        * image.c: Add an unload hook which is called before an image is unloaded.

        * generic-sharing.c: Use the unload hook to unregister per-image data, to avoid
        metadata.c having to depend on generic sharing.

Fri Feb 26 19:23:18 CET 2010 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: reduce size of ridiculously large cache.

2010-02-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug.h
        (MONO_DEBUGGER_MINOR_VERSION): Bump to 5.

        * threads.c (mono_thread_internal_reset_abort): New method; resets
        the abort, but doesn't throw any exception if no abort was requested.

2010-02-26  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * class.c (get_implicit_generic_array_interfaces): Call
        mono_class_setup_interface_offsets () before accessing
        eclass->interface_offsets_count. This only shows up on platforms without IMT for
        some reason.

Thu Feb 25 12:12:44 CET 2010 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * environment.c, environment.h, icall.c: make the GetOSVersionString()
        icall internal.

Thu Feb 25 11:37:50 CET 2010 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c, metadata.h: make MONO_TYPE_IS* functional without
        direct access to the MonoType fields.

2010-02-25  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * threads.h: Move some internal functions which were added to this header by
        mistake to threads-types.h.

        * class.c (mono_class_init): Get rid of mono_setup_vtable_in_class_init.

Wed Feb 24 17:45:27 CET 2010 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class-internals.h, class.h, object.h: make MonoRemoteClass
        and mono_remote_class() internal.

Wed Feb 24 17:05:18 CET 2010 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata-internals.h, class-internals.h, metadata.h: make the
        MonoType guts internal as well.

Wed Feb 24 16:02:42 CET 2010 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.h: the MonoTypeNameParse guts are internal now.
        * assembly.c, assembly.h, image.h: the MonoAssemblyName guts
        are internal now, provide accessors as needed.
        * metadata.h, metadata-internals.h: the MonoMethodSignature
        guts are internal now.
        * Makefile.am: mempool.h is an internal header now.
        * *.h, *.c: remove glib.h usage from the public headers.

2010-02-24  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * culture-info-table.h : regenerated.

2010-02-22  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * metadata.c: Add mono_method_get_header_summary which returns minimal
        information about the header of a method. This is the information used
        by the inline oracle to reject methods.

        This method doesn't decode local variables and doesn't cache it's result,
        so it should cause a minimal reduction in memory usage.

        * metadata-internals.h: Add MonoMethodHeaderSummary structure and
        mono_method_get_header_summary.

2010-02-22  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@novell.com>

        * threads.c (mono_thread_exit): Make sure that the main thread is
        non-null before dereferencing it.

2010-02-21  Geoff Norton  <gnorton@novell.com>

        * Makefile.am: Add CoreFoundation linkage on darwin to properly get the current
        locale.
        * locaes.c: When running on darwin, try to get the local from CoreFoundation 
        before falling back to the posix lookup.

2010-02-19  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * threads.c (mono_thread_suspend_all_other_threads): Ignore threads which have
        the DONT_MANAGE flag set.

2010-02-19  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * domain.c: Remove old v1 version strings. Let the runtime
        default to 2.0 instead of failing because it can't find a
        working 1.0 instalation.

2010-02-19  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * domain.c: Add v4 RC version string.

2010-02-19  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * mono-basic-block.c (mono_opcode_value_and_size): Use pointer variant
        of overflow checking function.

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_method_on_tb_inst_get_handle): Handle non
        generic methods.

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_get_custom_attrs_info): Handle compiler context
        cases for ParameterInfo.

        Fixes #579493.

2010-02-18  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_get_cctor): Fix support for dynamic classes, which doesn't
        have has_cctor set. Fixes #575946.

2010-02-16 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * appdomain.c: display a warning if the parsing the config file
        produces any error.
        Skip the BOM in UTF-8 files.
        Copy the AppDomainSetup before setting the privateBinPath so that the
        correct configuration file is read.

2010-02-15  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * object.c: Instead of using one vtable trampoline, allow the JIT to use one
        vtable trampoline per vtable slot index. Not used yet.

2010-02-13 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * icall-def.h:

Fri Feb 12 18:36:02 CET 2010 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * icall.c, icall-def.h: new icall to check for sufficient
        stack space.

2010-02-12  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * reflection.c (ensure_complete_type): Check that reflection_info
        is set, too.  Fixes crash of corlib testsuite with -O=-all.

2010-02-11  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * attrdefs.h:
        * tabledefs.h: Add NoOptimization flag.

2010-02-10  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c: Don't consider it a missing remset if the target
        object is pinned - we might have done the store but not added the
        remset yet.

2010-02-10  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c: When checking for missing remsets, don't assert on
        the first one, but print them all and then assert.

2010-02-10  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c (find_in_remset_loc): Handle the small bitmap case.

        VDSUSP (non-Posix), the
        suspend-program-next-time-it-tries-to-read-input command (this is
        different than C-z, which suspends immediately).

        Do the same thing that bash does and ignore this setting,
        making our repl/getline support pasting.

2010-02-10  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c: Simple plausibility check for scan_starts.

2010-02-10  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * object-internals.h: Ditto.

        * icall.c: New icall property_info_get_default_value to get the default
        value of a property. Since using this is not common, no caching is done.

        * icall-def.h: Add new icall.

2010-02-10  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c: Add mono_class_get_property_default_value.

        * class-internal.h: Export mono_class_get_property_default_value.

2010-02-10  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

Wed Feb 10 14:48:45 CET 2010 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * sgen-gc.c: introduced critical regions to allow some lockless
        operations and increase scalability.

2010-02-10  Geoff Norton  <gnorton@novell.com>

        * reflection.c: Support building with DISABLE_REFLECTION

2010-02-09 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * threadpool.c: Fixes for SetMinThreads and SetMaxThreads.
        Closes bug #566057.

        * exception.c: fix typo in comment.

2010-02-09  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * icall.c (param_info_get_type_modifiers): Handle the case when the member object is a
        property. This happens which instances returned by PropertyInfo::GetIndexParameters ().

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_get_custom_attrs_info): Ditto.

        * object-internals.h: Export mono_class_is_reflection_method_or_constructor as part of
        the internal API.

        Fixes #574434.

2010-02-09  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * threads.c: Removed two assertions that were too strict.  Added a
        clarifying comment.  Fixes #577090.

2010-02-08  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * domain.c (mono_jit_info_table_find): Avoid looking in the root domain, since
        the caller has no way of knowing the domain which owns the returned MonoJitInfo.

        * appdomain.c (create_exceptions): Call mono_thread_push/popappdomain_ref ().

        * verify.c (mono_type_get_stack_name): Fix a warning.

2010-02-07  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_wrapper_info): Rename from
        mono_marshal_wrapper_info_from_wrapper.

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_set_wrapper_info): Rename from
        mono_marshal_method_set_wrapper_data, and export.

        * boehm-gc.c sgen-gc.c null-gc.c: Get rid of mono_gc_get_allocator_type, store
        the allocator type in a AllocatorWrapperInfo structure instead, which is accesible
        by calling mono_marshal_get_wrapper_info ().

        * sgen-gc.c (mono_gc_get_managed_allocator): Add a specialized allocator for
        small objects which does no size checks.

2010-02-05  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * icall-def.h: Rename get_MetadataToken to GetMetadataToken.

2010-02-04  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c (mono_method_verify): Use the new basic block formation pass
        to avoid verifying dead basic blocks. This is the same behavior as the
        runtime MS verifier.

2010-02-04  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * mono-basic-block.c:
        * mono-basic-block.h: New implementation of a basic block formation pass.
        The formation pass does static liveness analysis as well to detect dead
        basic blocks.

2010-02-04  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_native_wrapper): Emit a null check for the
        'this' argument in icalls.

2010-02-02  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * reflection.c (resolve_object): Handle MonoArrayMethod. Fixes #575955.

2010-02-01  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * object.c, domain.c: When using SGen, we must register
        vtable->type as a root if it's not a MonoType, because then it
        wasn't pin-alloced.

2010-02-01  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c: Reset to_space_bumper to to_space_section->next_data
        at the start of nursery collections, because we might have had
        degraded allocations which changed next_data.

2010-01-30  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_managed_wrapper): Avoid constructing the
        custom attr so this function works in cross-compiling mode.

2010-01-29  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        Rework all uses of mono_class_setup_methods to accept that it can fail now.

2009-12-16  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * reflection.c (mono_type_get_object): If the type is VAR or MVAR check
        if the owner class has not been finished before returning reflection_info.      

        Fixes #565127.

2009-12-16  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * reflection.c (mono_custom_attrs_from_param): Avoid a crash if a dynamic
        param doesn't have custom attributes. Fixes #565117.

        * class.c (mono_bounded_array_class_get): Make these classes PUBLIC. Fixes

2009-12-15  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * pedump.c: Add partial-md mode that doesn't perform full metadata verification. It does the
        same amount done by a core-clr enabled runtime.

2009-12-15  Marek Habersack  <mhabersack@novell.com>

        * appdomain.c (mono_make_shadow_copy): make sure access mode of
        the target files is reset to writable by owner and readable by
        everyone else to prevent problems when updating shadow copies of
        files whose source is read-only. Fixes bug #556884

2009-12-15  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * class.c (mono_generic_class_get_class): Allocate the generic
        class via malloc again, so that it can be freed when any one of
        the images of its constituent types is closed.

        * metadata.c: When closing an image, don't free generic insts and
        generic classes right away, but put them into a list for later
        freeing.

        * image.c, metadata-internals.h: Store the free list and in the
        second pass of closing an image, free it.

2009-12-14  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * reflection.c (mono_generic_class_get_object): Assert if this is ever called.

        user type.

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_register_with_runtime): Throws in case a bad user type
        is used.

2009-12-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * verify.c (mono_method_verify): The Unused opcodes produce an
        InvalidProgramException on .NET

2009-12-12  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * object-internals.h: Remove useless field from MonoReflectionGenericClass.

        * appdomain.c: Bump corlib version.

2009-12-12  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        To properly support user types, MonoGenericClass has to be used for regular, non SRE,
        types as well since otherwise generic instances would not return UT as arguments but
        their undelying system type.

        * object-internals.h: Change field types of MonoGenericClass and *OnTypeBuilderInst
        to reflect the fact that they can have now multiple different types.

        * reflection.c (mono_image_get_field_on_inst_token): Handle MonoField.

        * reflection.c (mono_image_get_ctor_on_inst_token): Handle MonoCMethod.

        * reflection.c (mono_image_get_method_on_inst_token): Handle MonoMethod.

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_register_with_runtime): Init super types
        if the image is not dynamic.

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_bind_generic_parameters): In case of a MonoGenericClass,
        check if the generic type definition is a TypeBuilder.

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_generic_class_initialize): If the generic type definition
        doesn't belong to a dynamic image, skip initialization.

        * reflection.c (resolve_object): Properly handle *OnTypeBuilderInst types where their
        base definition is not a dynamic type.

2009-12-11  Marek Habersack  <mhabersack@novell.com>

        * object.c (mono_ldstr, mono_ldstr_metadata_sig): added calls to
        mono_profiler_string_allocation

        * string-icalls.c (ves_icall_System_String_InternalAllocateStr):
        if string profiling is enabled, call
        mono_profiler_string_allocation

        * profiler.h: added two MonoProfileFlags -
        MONO_PROFILE_IOMAP_EVENTS and MONO_PROFILE_STRING_ALLOC as well as
        installation functions for the hooks below.

        * profiler-private.h, profiler.c: added two hooks:
        mono_profiler_string_allocation called whenever a string is
        allocated by InternalAllocateStr and mono_profiler_iomap called
        whenever IOMAP code performs an adjustement on a file path.

Fri Dec 11 18:24:04 CET 2009 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * boehm-gc.c: fixed race condition while getting the target of a
        disappearing link (bug #522233).

2009-12-10  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c (mono_type_get_full): Produce warning instead of simply swallowing
        the error.

2009-12-10  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * reflection.c: Add mono_reflection_register_with_runtime icall to
        allow a MonoGenericClass to register itself as the managed mirror of
        a given generic instance.
        This is a temporary workaround until all MGC instantiation happens in
        managed code.

        * object-internals.h: Ditto.

        * icall-def.h: Ditto.

2009-12-10  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c (find_in_remsets): Also search the generic store
        remsets.

2009-12-10  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c: Don't access class names in debugging code when
        unloading a domain, because they might not be valid anymore.

2009-12-10  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * domain.c, domain-internals.h: New function mono_domain_unset().

        * appdomain.c (unload_thread_main): Detach the thread again at the
        end.

        * threads.c: When a thread exists or is detached, unset its domain
        so that it's NULL when, for example, a pthread destructor runs.

        * sgen-gc.c: Assert that there is no domain set after a thread is
        done.

2009-12-10  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * class.c (mono_generic_class_get_class),
        metadata.c (free_generic_class): Allocate generic MonoClass's from
        the image mempool, not via malloc.  The problem with malloc is
        that when unloading a domain those classes are freed before
        clearing the heap and SGen needs the classes.  Rewriting the
        unloading code to do the free later would be more work and there's
        no point in using malloc anyway.

2009-12-09  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * loader.c (mono_method_signature): Always call mono_loader_unlock 
        before returning.

        Fixes #561943.

2009-12-09  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_GetCurrentMethod): Drop all generic arguments
        from a method before returning it. This is the expected behavior.

2009-12-08  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * reflection.c (inflate_method): Handle the case of a regular system type.

2009-12-08  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c (create_allocator): Only use the fast path if the
        object size is within the small object size limit.

2009-12-07  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c: Make sure section->data is aligned to 8 bytes by
        possibly adding padding to sizeof (GCMemSection).

2009-12-07  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c (mono_gc_wbarrier_nostore): Skip the remset if the
        reference is not in the nursery.

2009-12-07  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_from_typeref): Bounds check idx against the 
        assemblyref table.

2009-12-07  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c, sgen-pinning.c: When pinning, make only one pass
        through the potential roots, then sort the results and find the
        pinned objects from there.

        * Makefile.am: sgen-pinning.c added.

2009-12-07  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c: Record generic stores in specialized remset buffers.

2009-12-06  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c: Make pinned chunks the same size as major heap
        sections, and align them as well, so that we can check whether an
        object is in a pinned chunk or a major section in constant time.

2009-12-06  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c (build_nursery_fragments): Don't leak fragments.

2009-12-06  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c: Make all major heap sections the same size (currently
        128k) and allocate them on aligned addresses.  Small heap sections
        give us better granularity with pinned objects - we can free up
        much more memory.

2009-12-06  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * string-icalls.c (ves_icall_System_String_GetLOSLimit): Debug
        output removed.

2009-12-05  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        Applied patch from Laurent Etiemble (laurent.etiemble@gmail.com).

        * mono/metadata/assembly.c: When opening an assembly image, pass the real
        names in addition to the runtime generated one.

        * mono/metadata/image.h: Add a function to take the real name of the assembly
        image.

        * mono/metadata/image.c: If a real name has been passed to load an assembly,

        * marshal.c (emit_marshal_vtype): Do the klass == date_time_class checks
        before the other checks to prevent problems if the DateTime class is blittable.
        Hopefully fixes #559600.

2009-12-05  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * string-icalls.c, string-icalls.h, icall-def.h: New icall that

        asserting.

        have valid stack types.

        Fixes #559913.

        all the remsets pointing into that domain's static data.

        * sgen-gc.c: Allow remsets into static data.  By doing this we
        need less checks so we're more efficient.

2009-12-01  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * metadata.c: Kill mono_metadata_get_param_attrs_checked. Add
        mono_metadata_method_has_param_attrs which only checks if a given param
        list has a non zero flags entry.

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_get_param_attrs): Add param_count parameter
        to inform how many params should we expect to decode.

        * loader.c (mono_method_signature): Use mono_metadata_method_has_param_attrs
        as it's faster than mono_metadata_get_param_attrs.

        * metadata-internals.h: Fix mono_metadata_get_param_attrs signature and
        add mono_metadata_method_has_param_attrs.

2009-12-01  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_setup_vtable_general): Check for mono_method_get_vtable_slot

        * metadata-internals.h (_MonoImage): Change 'method_cache' to a GHashTable
        from a MonoValueHashTable for now, since the later is based on an earlier

        when the inflated is null, to report errors. Also take care when
        freeing, not to free everything since, in case of an error, some
        stuff would be copies (i.e. not allocated by the function itself)
        Fix bug #558145

2009-11-24  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c (stack_push, stack_pop, stack_pop_safe): Assert if we underflow

        code.

2009-11-16  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * security-core-clr.c (get_caller_no_reflection_related): 
        [Mono]Type.InvokeMember is outside System.Reflection[.Emit] but

        Code is contributed under MIT/X11 license.

2009-10-15 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * marshal.c: BeginInvoke cannot be called on multicast delegates with
        multiple targets. Fixes bug #574426.

2009-10-14  Massimiliano Mantione  <massi@ximian.com>

        * profiler.h: Put here the definition of
        MONO_PROFILER_MAX_STAT_CALL_CHAIN_DEPTH
        (and fix the build...).

2009-10-14  Massimiliano Mantione  <massi@ximian.com>

        * profiler.c, profiler.h, profiler-private.h:
        Added support for different ways of getting call chains in stat mode.

2009-10-12  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * object.c, object-internals.h: New function for computing the
        size of an array, factored out of mono_array_new_full().  Use
        SGen's functions for allocating arrays and vectors.

        * sgen-gc.c, gc-internal.h: Special functions for allocating
        arrays and vectors without race conditions.  A managed array
        allocator method.

        * boehm-gc.c, null-gc.c: Don't provide a managed array allocator.

2009-10-12  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * object.c, object.h, icall.c: Write barriers do the copying now,
        as well, so no need for an additional memcpy.

        * sgen-gc.c: Lock when storing remsets.  Do the memory
        copying/moving in the write barriers.

        * null-gc.c, boehm-gc.c: Write barriers must copy here, too.

        * reflection.c: Added an assert.

2009-10-12  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * threads.c, process.c: A few missing write barriers.

2009-10-12  Joel W. Reed <joelwreed@gmail.com>

        * mono-perfcounters.c, mono-perfcounters-def.h: Add
        network performance counters for bytes sent per second, bytes
        received per second, and bytes total per second.

        Code is contributed under MIT/X11 license.

2009-10-09  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * threads.c (ves_icall_System_Threading_Thread_GetAbortExceptionState):
        Fix warning.

2009-10-09  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * threads.c, object-internals.h, object.c: Move code for
        transferring an object to a different domain (via
        serialization/remoting) to object.c.

        * object.c (call_unhandled_exception_delegate): If the exception
        is in a different domain than the delegate, transfer the exception
        to that domain.

2009-10-07  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * marshal.c (emit_marshal_vtype): Emit marshalling of DateTime to OLE DATE.
        Fixes #322934.

2009-10-06  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * domain.c (DEFAULT_RUNTIME_VERSION): Change this to v2.0.

2009-10-06  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * object.c (mono_method_return_message_restore): Handle the case
        where the argument is an instance of a generic type.  Fixes
        #544446.

2009-10-06  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * object.c (set_value): Write barrier fix - we must pass the
        count, not the size.

2009-10-05  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * domain.c (mono_init_internal): Print a useful error message when encountering
        an old mscorlib, instead of crashing. Fixes #544307.

2009-10-04  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * appdomain.c (copy_app_domain_setup): Fix a warning.

        * debug-helpers.c (dis_one): Ditto.

2009-10-04  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * domain-internals.h, appdomain.c: The AppDomainSetup is copied
        into the new domain, instead of referencing the original one.

        * marshal.c, marshal.h: Make mono_marshal_xdomain_copy_value()
        non-static.

        * appdomain.c: Corlib version bump.

2009-10-02 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * threadpool.c: one more...

2009-10-02 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * threadpool.c: forgot a LeaveCriticalSection when telling the idle
        threads to die because we're shutting down. delgate5.exe works again.

2009-10-01  Bill Holmes  <billholmes54@gmail.com>

        * cominterop.c (mono_marshal_free_ccw_entry): Updating the
          ccw_interface_hash table when a ccw is finalized.

        Code is contributed under MIT/X11 license.

2009-09-30  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * assembly.c, domain.c, image.c, metadata-internals.h: Split
        domain and image unloading into two steps.  We must do this
        because clearing the domain in SGen requires the class metadata to
        be intact, but we need to free the mono_g_hash_tables in case a
        collection occurs during domain unloading and the roots would trip
        up the GC.

2009-09-30  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * object-internals.h: Remove serialized culture fields from
        MonoInternalThread.

        * icall-def.h, thread-types.h, threads.c: Remove serialized
        culture icalls.

        * appdomain.c: Corlib version bump.

2009-09-30  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * marshal.c (emit_marshal_object): Emit out marshalling of stringbuilders.
        Fixes #543133.

2009-09-30  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c: Try to shorten the new section after a major
        allocation to avoid ever-growing sections.

2009-10-13  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.h (MonoDebuggerEvent): Renamed
        `MONO_DEBUGGER_EVENT_TRAMPOLINE' into
        `MONO_DEBUGGER_EVENT_OLD_TRAMPOLINE' and added a new
        `MONO_DEBUGGER_EVENT_TRAMPOLINE'.

        * mono-debug.h (MONO_DEBUGGER_MINOR_VERSION): Bump to 4.

2009-09-29 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * threadpool.c: fixed the order in which 'completed' and the wait
        handle, if any, are set.  Fixes bug #542933 and delegate2.exe
        No need to use the wait_handle field of ASyncCall. Make sure the
        threadpool is active when adding a job or queueing an idle thread.

2009-09-29  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * object.c (mono_unhandled_exception): Fix a crash if there is no main thread.

        * threads.c (build_wait_tids): Fix a crash if there is no main thread, like
        when using --compile-all.

2009-09-27  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * metadata.c (free_generic_class): Unregister the field_objects
        roots if we're using SGen.

2009-09-27  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * reflection.c (mono_dynamic_image_free): Deregister the GC root
        for GenericParamTableEntry.gparam.

2009-09-27 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * marshal.c: don't create the handle when calling. It is created later
        if needed.

2009-09-26  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c: Warning fixes.

2009-09-26  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c: New debug option "xdomain-checks", which scans the
        whole heap for cross-domain references before each collection.

        * sgen-scan-object.h: The scan action can now use SCAN to scan the
        object.

        * threadpool-internals.h, threadpool.c: New function
        mono_thread_pool_is_queue_array() for checking whether a given
        array is used as a (cross-domain) queue by the thread pool code.

2009-09-26  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c: New function mono_gc_scan_for_specific_ref() which
        searches the whole heap for objects containing a specific
        reference.  Only for debugging.

2009-09-26  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * appdomain.c (MONO_CORLIB_VERSION): Bumped.

        * icall-def.h, threads.c, threads-types.h: New icalls for copying
        byte arrays between domains.

2009-09-25 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * threadpool.c:
        * class-internals.h:
        * mono-perfcounters-def.h:
        * mono-perfcounters.c:
        -There is a list of idle threads
        -Each of those idle threads wait on their own WaitHandle instead
        of all of them using the same semaphore. When a new work item is
        added, the job is assigned directly to an idle thread or a newly
        created one if possible and then the handle for that thread is
        signaled. Compare that to the current approach where all the
        threads in the pool compete to dequeue a job from the same
        queue.
        -New struct ThreadPool that brings together the bunch of static
        variable for each threadpool (IO and regular).
        -New performance counters: # of items added and its rate per
        threadpool. The rate will be used later, perhaps together with
        other perf. counters, to decide when idle threads should exit.

2009-09-25  Jonathan Chambers  <joncham@gmail.com>

        * socket-io.c (ves_icall_System_Net_Sockets_Socket_Receive_internal): 
        Fix typo on Windows build.      
        (ves_icall_System_Net_Sockets_Socket_Accept_internal): Fix typo on Windows build.
        
        Code is contributed under MIT/X11 license.

2009-09-25  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * object-internals.h: The Thread class is split up into Thread and
        InternalThread now.  We have exactly one InternalThread per
        thread, and at most one Thread per appdomain per thread.  Most
        data is stored in InternalThread.  All InternalThread objects live
        in the root domain.

        * class-internals.h: Add internal_thread_class to MonoDefaults.

        * appdomain.c (mono_domain_unload), attach.c (receiver_thread),
        domain.c, gc.c, icall-def.h, monitor.c, object.c, sgen-gc.c,
        socket-io.c, threadpool.c, thread-types.h, threads.c: Changes
        resulting from the split of the Thread class.

        * gc-internal.h: Prototype for new function for checking whether a
        thread is the finalizer thread.

        * appdomain.c: Corlib version bump.

2009-09-25  Rolf Bjarne Kvinge  <RKvinge@novell.com>

        * appdomain.c|h: Add a mono_domain_try_unload method which is
        equivalent to mono_domain_unload, except that it returns an exception
        instead of throwing it. Make mono_domain_unload use the
        mono_domain_try_unload method to avoid code-duplication.

2009-09-25  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * debug-helpers.c (dis_one): Avoid unaligned accesses on platforms where that is
        a problem.

2009-09-24  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * marshal.c (emit_ptr_to_object_conv): Generate an exception instead of
        aborting when a conversion is not implemented.

2009-09-23  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * verify.c: when comparing culture strings, use g_ascii_strcmp

        * assembly.c (mono_public_tokens_are_equal): Change g_strcasecmp
        when comparing public key tokens to use memcmp on 16 bytes.   I do
        not believe this ever worked as advertised in the past.

        The standard Public Key is 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
        which would have always failed earlier.

2009-06-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * gc.c: Raise a NullArgumentException if the object passed is
        null.

2009-09-22  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * image.c (mono_image_close): Atomically decrement the reference count and
        remove the image from the hash tables, to prevent another thread from seeing a
        dying MonoImage. Fixes #541194.

2009-09-22 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * threadpool.c: actually use the minimum number of 'completion ports'
        (for us is just a potential worker thread).

2009-09-22 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * threadpool.c: remove ares_htable. It does not make sense any more
        since the same objects are now stored in GC-tracked arrays while they are
        in the queue.

2009-09-22 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * threadpool.c: increase the minimum length of the queues to 128.
        Remove warning.

2009-09-21  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_string_ctor_signature): New internal function to
        return the modified signature used by string ctors.

2009-09-20  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_runtime_invoke_dynamic): New internal function
        to return a runtime-invoke wrapper which uses DYN_CALL to call the wrapped
        method, to be used by full-aot.

2009-09-18  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        Since the runtime supports lazy initialization of a type's vtable and this can cause a type
        to fail, we need to ensure that the vtable is properly initialized at spots were the type must
        be known to be good.

        * class.c (mono_class_init): Fail array types if their element type fails initialization
        as well.

        * object.c (mono_class_create_runtime_vtable): Fail array types if their element type fails
        initialization, additionally we request the element_type vtable to be initialized as well.

        This is fine and should not increase the working set in any meaningful way since it's reasonable
        to assume       that most code will create an array and eventually populate it, which will require the
        type's vtable to be initialized.

        * loader.c (field_from_memberref): Add a comment for a possibly useless mono_class_init call.

2009-09-17  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * normalization-tables.h : regenerated.

2009-09-16  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * mono-debug.c (mono_debug_add_method): Increase the size of the buffer,
        a leb128 encoding can take up to 5 bytes.

2009-09-15  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c (verify_class_overrides): Remove useless argument.

        * class.c (mono_class_setup_vtable_general): Move the overrides check to happen
        before interface enumeration as this is no longer required.

2009-09-15  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c: New function mono_class_is_assignable_from_slow that is safe to be
        used under mono_class_init context. This functions avoid any code path that
        calls mono_class_init, which leads it to be slow as some things like the interface
        bitmap are not available.

        * class.c (verify_class_overrides): Use mono_class_is_assignable_from_slow instead
        of it's own broken version. Fixes the verifier part of #538588.

        * class-internals.h: Export mono_class_is_assignable_from_slow as part of the internal
        API.

2009-09-15  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_init): Always set an exception in a class if
        vtable setup fails.  Fixes #538577.

        * generic-sharing.c: Raise an exception if mono_class_vtable()
        returns NULL.

2009-09-13  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_runtime_invoke): Don't share instance 
        methods of vtypes, as they could be incorrectly shared with static methods
        taking an IntPtr argument.

2009-09-12 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * domain.c:
        * object.c:
        * class-internals.h: renamed waithandle_class to
        manualresetevent_class.
        * marshal.c: propagate the exception if a remoting BeginInvoke call
        fails.

2009-09-11  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * object.c: Properly handle vtable failures.

2009-09-11  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * socket-io.c: Assert on vtable failure.

        * mono-mlist.c: Assert on vtable failure.

2009-09-11  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * marshal.c: Assert on vtable failure.

        * debug-helpers.c (mono_class_describe_statics): Properly handle vtable failures.

2009-09-11  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * cominterop.c (ves_icall_System_ComObject_CreateRCW): Property handle vtable failures.

        * console-unix.c (do_console_cancel_event): Same.

2009-09-11  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class-internals.h: Add mono_class_vtable_full function that allows control
        if an exception should be raised or not.

        * object.c (mono_class_vtable): Call into mono_class_vtable_full. Fix this function
        to do what its documentation say, that is to return NULL and set exception_type on
        failure.

        * object.c (mono_class_create_runtime_vtable): Add new raise_on_error parameter
        and change the code to honor it.

2009-09-11  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c: Fix typo in error message.

2009-09-10  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * security-core-clr.c: Fix default_platform_check so it can run
        the runtime coreclr tests (without an infinite recursion when
        throwing an exception).

2009-09-10  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        object.c (mono_delegate_ctor_with_method): Guard against null method.

2009-09-10  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_xappdomain_dispatch): Add an assert
        that should be replaced with error handling later.

2009-09-10  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_delegate_end_invoke): Fix warning.

2009-09-10  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * loader.c (mono_field_from_token): Properly handle invalid
        dynamic tokens.

2009-09-10  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * pedump.c (verify_image_file): Skip types that can't be
        decoded.

2009-09-10  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c: Look for recursive valuetypes only against the
        type been initialized as this is a lot simpler and works.

2009-09-10  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c: Ensure that fields are properly loaded before
        checking them.

2009-09-10  Bill Holmes  <billholmes54@gmail.com>

        * object.c (mono_object_get_virtual_method) : Call 
          mono_cominterop_get_invoke if the object is a COM object.

        Code is contributed under MIT/X11 license.

2009-09-09  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c: Check for recursive valuetype definitions.

2009-09-08  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        Use inheritance-aware interface offsets. Inherited types use the same offsets
        of their parents. This reduce offset duplication in case more than one type in
        the inheritance tree explicitly implements the same interface.

        This also removes a source of vtable bubbles found in #532409. An abstract type
        isn't required to provide abstract methods to all interfaces it implements, which
        resulted in a bubble with the previous scheme as the child would get a non-full
        vtable from its parent. We fail all concrete types with vtable bubbles, so this
        should be fixed.

        This change causes an increase of 1.7% in vtable memory usage for IronPython pystone but
        it's expected to not cause any significant increase beyond that.

        * class.c (setup_interface_offsets): Compute super class iface offsets
        first to force sharing.

        * class.c: Add VTABLE_SELECTOR macro to the vtable debug macros to help
        dumping only the relevant ones.

        * class.c (mono_class_setup_vtable_general): Give newslot, non final, virtual
        methods a new slot regardless if they belong to an interface or not. This allows
        an inherited type to override the iface method separately from the class one.

2009-09-04 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * threadpool.c: make the Sleep() alertable to prevent delays exiting

        Bug #524984 fixed.

2009-09-04  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * object-internals.h (MonoRuntimeCallbacks): Add a 'get_runtime_build_info' callback.

        * object.c (mono_get_runtime_callbacks): New helper function to return
        the runtime callbacks.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_Mono_Runtime_GetDisplayName): Use the result of
        mono_get_runtime_build_info () as the display name.
        
2009-09-03  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * marshal.c (emit_marshal_array): Call conv.ovf.i on the array parameter
        argument, since NEWARR expects a native int. Fixes #481559.

2009-09-03  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_MonoMethod_GetDllImportAttribute): Guard
        against broken SRE methods.

2009-09-03  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c (mono_type_get_full): Don't call mono_metadata_free_type on
        a NULL variable. Abort early on failure.

2009-09-03  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c (can_access_type): Fail visibility test for non nested
        types with nested visibility.

2009-09-02  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c (parse_public_key): Avoid allocating (and not 
        freeing) the public key array when it's not requested by the 
        caller.
        * threads.c (mono_thread_manage, mono_thread_create_internal, 
        ves_icall_System_Threading_Thread_Thread_internal): Free 
        allocated memory on error.

2009-09-02  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * icall.c, icall-def.h: Remove some dead code from early SRE changes.

2009-09-02  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_setup_fields): Remove duplicated local variable
        named gklass.
        Rename gklass to gtd to reflect the fact that it points to the generic
        type definition.
        Remove the duplicated call to mono_class_setup_fields on gtd and move
        the error check to the beginning.

2009-09-02  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_array_to_lparray): Do DISABLE_COM properly.
        Remove cruft of the previous patch.

2009-09-01  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * metadata-verify.c (verify_method_table): Check for abstract + final.
        Fixes #534175.

2009-09-01  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c (verify_class_fields): Check for duplicate fields.

2009-09-01  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * metadata-verify.c: Verify the typeref table for duplicates.

2009-09-01  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        This reverts r140936 and properly handles interfaces with static methods. The
        right fix is to ensure vtables without bubles which is an easier to verify
        constraint. We should avoid such special cases as of the reverted patch as those
        only make the runtime more brittle.

        * class.c (mono_class_setup_vtable_general): Revert previous change that handle
        static methods on interfaces.

        * class.c (setup_interface_offsets): Use the number of virtual methods when
        calculating interface offsets instead of the number of methods. This way we
        avoid bubles on the layout.

2009-08-31  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * metadata-verify.c (verify_metadata_header): Some very smart
        obfuscators like to add extra stream headers. Ignore them.

2009-08-30  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_setup_vtable_general): Verify interfaces with static
        methods correctly.

2009-08-29  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * metadata-verify.c: Verify for duplicated types.

2009-08-28  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * metadata-verify.c (verify_typedef_table): Verify for nested types
        without an entry on the nested class table.

2009-08-28  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * cominterop.c (cominterop_get_ccw): Applied patch from tom hindle
        <tom_hindle@sil.org>. Add locking around hash table accesses.

2009-08-25  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c (mono_verifier_verify_class): Verify all interface if
        really are interfaces. Fixes #534184.

2009-08-27  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * pedump.c: Initialize all types during metadata validation so we report
        errors only detected as part of class initialization.

2009-08-26  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * metadata-verify.c (verify_method_table): PInvoke requires method to
        be static. Fixes #534189

2009-08-26  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * threads.c (mono_thread_suspend_all_other_threads): Handle 'threads_starting_ip'
        being NULL.

2009-08-25  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_setup_vtable_general): Verify the resulting vtable
        for holes or bad methods. Fixes #525314.

2009-08-25  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c (setup_interface_offsets): Don't allocate slot
        for the same interface multiple times. This creates bubbles
        that waster space and make vtable verification harder.

        The same interface get a slot multiple times since we need
        to get the closure of all implemented interfaces, which means
        the same interface is reported multiple times.

2009-08-25  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c (mono_verifier_verify_class): Don't check the fields
        of generic instances since the context on which they got expanded
        might lead to false positives.

        Such thing happens when a generic type is inflated in the context
        of a generic method and the inflated type of a field turns into a
        generic method argument, which causes the checking code to think
        it's an invalid class when it's not.

2009-08-25  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c (mono_type_is_valid_in_context): Verify if type
        is NULL and remove duplicate test.

2009-08-24  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c (mono_verifier_verify_class): Check fields for
        invalid generic arguments.

2009-08-24  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c (verify_class_overrides): Verify if for static
        and non virtual methods.

2009-08-24  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * icaa.c (ves_icall_System_Runtime_CompilerServices_RuntimeHelpers_RunClassConstructor):
        Check for errors after retrieving the vtable.

2009-08-24  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_setup_vtable_general): Verify
        if method overrides are valid before processing them.

2009-08-24  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_array_to_lparray): Fix minimal build with
        cominterop disabled.

        * marshal.c (mono_free_lparray): Same.

2009-08-21  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * threadpool.c (mono_thread_pool_init): Use mono_object_hash() as
        the hash function for the ares_htable.

2009-08-20  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * metadata-verify.c (verify_assembly_table): Accept 0x10 as a valid
        bit for assembly flags. MS is ok with it but there is no spec anywhere
        on its mean

2009-08-19  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_create_from_typedef): Emit profiler events
        in all cases.

2009-08-19  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_Type_GetMethodsByName): Don't leak loader errors.
        Release memory on failure.

2009-08-19  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class-internals.h: Add mono_metadata_load_generic_param_constraints_full
        to the internal API.

        * metadata.c (get_constraints): Use a single-linked table as we don't
        traverse it backward. Fail and return FALSE if only of the contraint types
        is not found.

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_load_generic_param_constraints_full): Identical
        to mono_metadata_load_generic_param_constraints except for having a return value.
        This has to be done since the later is part of the public API.

        * class.c (mono_class_create_from_typedef): Properly check the loading of constrains
        and fail the type.

        * loader.c (mono_get_method_from_token): Properly check the loading of constraints
        and fail the method.

2009-08-19  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * metadata-verify.c (is_valid_method_header): Add work-around to deal
        with MS broken behavior of emmitting EH section sizes without the
        header size added.

2009-08-19  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * metadata.c (mono_type_create_from_typespec): Don't allocate image
        memory until we're sure that we'll need it. This avoids leaking for
        broken types or duplicated instantiation.

2009-08-19  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * metadata-verify.c (is_valid_method_header): Fix stupid formating
        mistake.

2009-08-19  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * metadata-verify.c (is_valid_method_header): Fix number of clauses
        and expected size calculation.

2009-08-18  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_get_field_idx): Add fixme for broken
        behavior for types with multiple fields with the same name.
        I would rather fix it, but have no idea on how to generate
        such artifact for testing.

2009-08-18  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c (verifier_load_field): We should allow references to
        fields to be made using the generic type definition. It's up to
        the loader system to fail invalid ops.

        * verify.c (get_boxable_mono_type): Only uninstantiated GTDs
        are invalid.

2009-08-18  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c: Fix usage of mono_metadata_interfaces_from_typedef_full.

        * metadata-internals.h: Fix declaration of 
        mono_metadata_interfaces_from_typedef_full.

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_interfaces_from_typedef_full): Add extra
        heap_alloc_result parameter that controls if the result should be
        g_malloc'd.

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_interfaces_from_typedef): Let the resulting
        array be g_malloc'd and properly document this public API function.

2009-08-18  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * cil-coff.h: Fix METHOD_HEADER_FORMAT_MASK to be 2 bits and
        remove METHOD_HEADER_TINY_FORMAT1.

        * reflection.c: Remove reference to METHOD_HEADER_TINY_FORMAT1.

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_parse_mh_full): Kill tiny format1.

        Both spec and MS uses only 2 bits to enumerate the kind of header.
        So given that 0x6 and 0x2 are equal under a 2 bits mask, tiny format1
        is superfluous, only used for tiny headers with odd code lengths.

        This change also make sure that mono doesn't wronly interpret bit 2
        of fat header flags, which is currently reserved.

2009-08-18  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * metadata.c (do_mono_metadata_parse_type): Do error
        checking for element types. Don't abort if presented
        with a broken type kind.

2009-08-18  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_parse_method_signature_full):
        Gracefully fail bad vararg signatures.

2009-08-18  Christian Hergert  <chris@dronelabs.com>

        * profiler.c:
        * class.c: Fix warnings for uninitialized variables.

2009-08-18  Christian Hergert  <chris@dronelabs.com>

        * icall.c: Fix _NSGetEnviron method declaration warning.

2009-08-18  Christian Hergert  <chris@dronelabs.com>

        * icall.c:
        * reflection.c: Make bitwise checks explicit.

2009-08-18  Christian Hergert  <chris@dronelabs.com>

        * debug-helpers.c:
        * marshal.c: Fix printf warnings.

2009-08-18  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * reflection.c (encode_cattr_value): Fix a warning.

2009-08-17  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_parse_array_full): Fix memory leak
        of array bounds.

2009-08-17  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * loader.c (mono_method_signature): Don't assert on broken
        signature. Print a more useful error message.

2009-08-17  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * loader.c (mono_method_get_marshal_info): Assert if
        signature is invalid. Bounds check stores to the
        mspecs array;

2009-08-17  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * loader.c (field_from_memberref): Fix warning.

2009-08-17  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * loader.c (mono_method_get_param_names): Check if signature
        is null. Don't store beyond the size of the name array.

2009-08-17  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * loader.c (mono_get_method_constrained): Check if signature
        is null.

2009-08-17  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * loader.c (mono_loader_set_error_bad_image): Improve
        error messages.

2009-08-17  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * loader.c (mono_get_method_full): Convert an assertion
        into a loader error.

2009-08-17  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class-internals.h, class.c: Better naming and documentation.

        obj is NULL.

2009-08-14  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * loader.c (mono_method_get_signature_full): Fail gracefully if signature
        parsing fails.

2009-08-14  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * loader.c (mono_loader_error_prepare_exception): Handle missing field
        errors with no class set.

        * loader.c (field_from_memberref): If the field signature is of the wrong
        type fail with a MissingFieldException instead of a BadImageException as
        this is the behavior observed on MS. 

2009-08-14  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * loader.c (field_from_memberref): Don't crash if either the field
        signature or the typespec class are invalid.

2009-08-14  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c (verifier_load_field): Don't allow field related
        ops to reference fields on generic type definition.

2009-08-14  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * metadata-verify.c: Add new warning level for errors specified
        by ECMA 335 but that MS ignores.

        * metadata-verify.c (verify_method_table): Make compiler controled
        visibility + (rt)specialname error a warning as MS ignores this. Ignoring
        this check is safe because the end result will only be some visibility
        exceptions been thrown.

2009-08-14  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c (get_boxable_mono_type): Don't allow the
        use of the generic type definition on boxed type positions.

        Fixes #531237.

2009-08-14  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * threadpool.c: Make sure no cross-domain references remain in
        ares_htable or the arrays that are thrown away when resizing.

2009-08-14  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * appdomain.c, metadata-internals.h, image.c: In MonoImage add a
        list of classes for which we have to unregister reflection_info
        with the GC and which are not in the namespace cache.

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_initialize_generic_parameter): Add
        the class to the list.

2009-08-14  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * domain.c (mono_domain_free): Unregister the GC roots in

2009-08-12  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c: Add mono_class_get_field_from_name_full which does
        the same as mono_class_get_field_from_name but does check field
        signature as well.

        * class-internals.h: Export mono_class_get_field_from_name_full as
        part of the internal API.

        * loader.c (field_from_memberref): Search fields by name and signature
        as it's valid to have two fields with same name but different types.

2009-08-12  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * exception.c (mono_exception_from_name_domain): Actually create
        the exception in the specified domain.

        * appdomain.c (mono_domain_create_appdomain_internal): Create the
        OutOfMemoryException a bit later so that the domain is inialized

        * bohem-gc.c (mono_gc_add_weak_track_handle): Get the domain
        from the object because it could not yet be available globally
        (it happens if the profiler tries to create a gchandle on the
        MonoThread object of a thread that is still registering itself
        with the runtime).

2009-08-04  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * generic-sharing.c (instantiate_other_info): Compute the GC
        descriptor for info type MONO_RGCTX_INFO_KLASS.

2009-08-01  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * reflection.c (mono_type_get_object): MonoDomain is an unmanaged
        type, so don't use MONO_OBJECT_SETREF to set a field.

2009-08-01  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * gc.c: We were missing one case where invoking a finalizer would
        not reset the domain.  Also, in the finalizer thread loop, assert
        that we're in the root domain.

2009-07-31  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_MonoType_GetArrayRank): Throw ArgumentException

        generic instance first check if the generic type definition is
        not broken.

2009-07-30  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c: When we stop a thread and its stack top is not within
        its allocated stack (because it's in an altstack signal handler),
        restart it and stop it again, until it is.

2009-07-30  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c: Take a thread's stack top and registers from the
        sigcontext in the suspend signal handler.

        stuff to sgen-archdep.h.

        * gc.c, gc-internal.h: Remove the get_ip_from_sigctx installer and
        caller, because have code in sgen-archdep.h to acquire that data.

2009-07-29  Massimiliano Mantione  <massi@ximian.com>

        * profiler.c, profiler.h, profiler-private.h:
        Added support for keeping track of code chunks and buffers.

2009-07-29 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * metadata-verify.c: Fix endianness problems on decoding functions.
        Based on a patch by Ulrich Weigand <uweigand@de.ibm.com>

2009-07-28 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_Type_make_array_type): Handle the new encoding
        schema for vectors and one dimension SZARRAY.

2009-07-28 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_type_get_handle): Handle the new encoding
        schema for vectors and one dimension SZARRAY.

2009-07-27  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * icall-def.h, thread-types.h, threads.c: New separate icalls for
        Interlocked.(Compare)Exchange with object arguments, which invoke
        write barriers.

2009-07-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_Type_GetNestedType): Throw an exception when
        passed invalid arguments.   Fixes another crasher in the
        Silverlight test suite.

        * class.c (mono_class_array_element_size): Return 0 for the size
        of the class;  This fixes the crasher exposed by :

        typeof (void).MakeArrayType ();

        * icall.c (ves_icall_MonoType_GetEvent): Do not dereference method
        if there is no method to dereference.    Put all the code that
        depends on this inside the if (method) block.

        This fixes the crasher exposed by Microsoft's Silvelright CLR test
        suite  ./Reflection/Emit/TypeBuilder/TypeBuilderGetEvent.exe

        With this change, we pass the test.
        
        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_sighelper_get_signature_local):
        Only dereference the assembly if it has been set.    Fixes a
        crasher exposed by #525328

2009-07-25  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c, object.h, null-gc.c, boehm-gc.c, marshal.c: Really
        don't perform the store in mono_gc_wbarrier_generic_nostore().
        Remove the second argument (value), which is not needed.

2009-07-24  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * null-gc.c (mono_gc_wbarrier_generic_nostore): Define this to fix
        the build.

        * boehm-gc.c: Ditto.
        
2009-07-24  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c, marshal.c, object.h: Make the managed write barrier
        not perform the store itself.  Introduce
        mono_gc_wbarrier_generic_nostore(), which is the same as
        mono_gc_wbarrier_generic_store(), except it doesn't perform the
        store.

2009-07-24  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Array_SetGenericValueImpl):
        mono_gc_wbarrier_value_copy() doesn't perform the copy itself, so
        we still need the memcpy().

2009-07-22  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c: Align array bounds calculation to mono_array_size_t
        so that big arrays are handled correctly.  Always use
        safe_object_get_size() to calculate array object sizes, which
        takes bounds into account.

2009-07-22  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c (mono_gc_wbarrier_value_copy): Make sure the class's
        GC descriptor is computed before we use it.

2009-07-22  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Array_SetGenericValueImpl): Use a
        write barrier if necessary.

2009-07-22  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * icall-def.h, icall.c, thread-types.h: New separate icall for
        VolatileWrite(object&,object) that uses a write barrier.

        * console-unix.c, file-io.c, icall.c, threads.c: Use write
        barriers in icalls which write to "ref" or "out" arguments.

2009-07-21  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_runtime_invoke): Do the work done in the exception
        handler in a separate icall, to reduce the size of the wrappers.

2009-07-20 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * metadata-verify.c (is_valid_typespec_blob): Fix error message.

2009-07-20 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c (do_cast): Fail for any non reference type that isn't boxed.
        Fixes #522784.

2009-07-20  Robert Jordan  <robertj@gmx.net>

        * cominterop.c (cominterop_get_managed_wrapper_adjusted):
        Fix invalid IL in valuetype handling (STOBJ must push the
        corresponding class). Fixes bug #523149.

        Code is contributed under MIT/X11 license.

2009-07-20  Geoff Norton  <gnorton@novell.com>

        * gc.c: Use proper semaphores where available on posix and darwin.

2009-07-19  Geoff Norton  <gnorton@novell.com>

        * gc.c: Unnamed posix semaphores are broken on darwin-arm too.

2009-07-19 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * refletion.c (is_sre_usertype): Change name to is_usertype and
        invert it's result so it returns true if the type is an user type
        and not the opposite.

        * reflection.c (is_*_type): Change all of those to use new macro
        check_corlib_type_cached that cached the type lookup so we don't
        need to do string comparisons all the type. Changed the signature
        to take a MonoClass instead.

        * reflection.c: Change mono_image_create_token and resolve_object
        to use is_sre_* functions.

2009-07-18  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c: Check for writes to the stack in the managed
        wbarrier as well.

2009-07-18  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c: When a thread is unregistered, don't free its remsets
        but put them on a list which is processed with the other thread's
        remsets.

2009-07-18  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c: Fix and enable the internal allocator instead of
        using malloc/free (which causes deadlocks).

2009-07-16 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * refletion.c: Fix builds with SRE disabled by adding a minimal
        implementation of mono_reflection_type_get_handle.

2009-07-15 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * refletion.c: Make mono_reflection_type_get_handle non static.

        * object-internals.h: Export mono_reflection_type_get_handle.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_MonoGenericClass_InflateType): Resolve the
        unmanaged handle using mono_reflection_type_get_handle.

2009-07-15 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * refletion.c: Replace all reads of MonoReflectionType::type with
        calls to mono_reflection_type_get_handle. Only the functions that
        deal with constructing TypeBuilder::type have not been changed
        because they have to deal with NULL values.

        This is a first step into supporting reflection types that don't
        map directly into their unmanaged counterpart.

2009-07-14 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * metadata-verify.c (parse_locals_signature): Don't complain
        on signature with zero locals since MS generates it and doesn't
        bother with.

2009-07-14 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * reflection.c (mono_image_get_array_token): Resolve return
        type using mono_reflection_type_get_handle.

        * reflection.c (mono_image_get_array_token): Resolve array method
        parent type using mono_reflection_type_get_handle.

2009-07-14  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * reflection.c (mono_image_basic_init): Applied patch from
        <Dax@daxxfiles.net>. Set the public key token from the assembly
        builder. Fixes #518909.

        * appdomain.c: Bump corlib version.

2009-07-13  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_needs_cctor_run): Make this return false if
        the class has no cctor.

          Applying the window_style field to the SHELLEXECUTEINFO struct.

        Code is contributed under MIT/X11 license.

2009-07-13  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c: Fix the race condition in the unmanaged allocator by
        locking earlier.  Fix it in the managed allocator by making sure
        that no thread is stopped there before the GC runs.  If we do stop
        a thread there, we restart it and let it run a but, until it stops
        somewhere else.

        * gc-internal.h, gc.c: Function for getting the IP from a signal
        context via a function registered by mini.

2009-07-11  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * object-internals.h (MonoIntPtr): New structure describing a boxed
        IntPtr.

        * object.c (mono_runtime_invoke_array): Handle ptr arguments and
        returns. Fixes #519953.

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_runtime_invoke): Handle pointer returns.

2009-07-09  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * class-internals.h, generic-sharing.c: New RGCTX info type for
        getting a remoting invoke with check wrapper.

2009-07-07  Geoff Norton  <gnorton@novell.com>

        * icall-def.h: Fix the enable-minimal build.

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

        * object-internals.h: Add MonoReflectionDerivedType.

        Fixed tons of warnings.

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

        * object-internals.h: Add MonoReflectionByRefType.

        * reflection.c: Implement support for ByRefType.

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

        * icall-def.h: Add System.Reflection.Emit.DerivedType::create_unmanaged_type.

        * object-internals.h: Add MonoReflectionArrayType and
        mono_reflection_create_unmanaged_type.

        * reflection.c: Implement support for ArrayType.

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

        * metadata-verify.c (is_valid_method_header): Parse EH block
        flags correctly.

2009-07-03  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c (finish_gray_stack): Set the to_space pointer after
        processing the disappearing links, and process disappearing links
        in a loop until no new objects are copied.

2009-07-03  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * object.c (handle_enum): Invoke the write barrier when copying
        value type instances.

        * sgen-gc.c: Register remsets for unmanaged write barriers only
        when the address written to is actually on the heap.  This makes
        set_value() in object.c work without requiring that the result be
        on the heap.

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

        The runtime wrappers are all bound to a given type that must
        exist in the same image. For regular images we use the <Module>
        type, which is required to exist for all images.

        The <Module> type can't be used for dynamic images because it
        might not exist at the time the wrapper is required, so we create
        a synthetic type to use instead.

        The current code works because of the 2 stage setup of MonoClass,
        but once this is gone it will no longer work.

        * icall-def.h: Add ModuleBuilder::set_wrappers_type.

        * metadata-internals.h (MonoDynamicImage): Add wrappers_type.

        * object-internals.h: Export mono_image_set_wrappers_type icall
        as part of the internal API.

        * marshal.c (get_wrapper_target_class): If the image is dynamic,
        use MonoDynamicImage::wrappers_type instead of the <Module> type.

        reflection.c: Add mono_image_set_wrappers_type qhixh sets the dynamic
        image wrappers_type to the provided value.

2009-07-01 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * appdomain.c (deregister_reflection_info_roots): No need
        to use the image lock here.

2009-07-02  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c (collect_nursery): Also scan from write-barrier roots.

2009-06-29  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * threads.c: Store the thread start argument in a hash table instead of
        registering it as a root, as libgc doesn't support unregistering roots
        under windows, leading to 'too many root sets' errors when many threads
        are created.

        * gc.c (mono_gc_run_finalize): Avoid finalizing dynamic methods during
        shutdown, they can still be referenced by the other dying objects.
        Fixes #514506.

2009-06-27 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * socket-io.c: DontLinger does not allow LingerOptions.

2009-06-26 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * metadata-verify.c: The spec doesn't mention that it's possible to add
        custom attribute to a generic parameter. Fixed.

2009-06-26 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c (inflate_generic_type): Don't crash while trying to output a message
        on why we're aborting.

2009-06-26 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * socket-io.c: DontLinger can take an int or a boolean too.

Fri Jun 26 17:00:04 CEST 2009 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata-verify.c: Fix cli and table verification to use information
        from the MonoImage. A lot of duplicated code got killed.

2009-04-17 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>


        This patch starts to integrate the metadata verifier with the runtime code.

        This patch causes major regression in functionality for the metadata verifier
        as cli and table verification are disabled since they require to be ported to
        use MonoImage information.

        * image.c (do_mono_image_load): Split the code in this function
        into mono_image_load_pe_data and mono_image_load_cli_data.
        Add     care_about_pecoff parameter to not load pecoff data.
        Call into the metadata verifier for pecoff and cli verification.

        * image.c (mono_image_open_raw): New function that doesn't perform
        any parsing of the image contents.
        
        The reason for the 3 new functions is to give pedump better control
        into the interaction with the verifier.

        * metadata-internals.h: Add new functions from image.c as part of the
        internal mono API.

        * metadata-verify.c: Split mono_image_verify into mono_verifier_verify_pe_data,
        mono_verifier_verify_cli_data and mono_verifier_verify_table_data. Prepare
        to make those functions work together with the runtime.

        * verify.c: Add mono_verifier_is_enabled_for_image function that returns
        true if the image needs to be verified.

        * verify-internals.h: Export new functions from metadata-verify.c and verify.c.

        * pedump.c: Use new metadata verifier API.

2009-04-19  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * object.c (mono_install_vtable_trampoline): Make this receive a

        * object.c (mono_raise_exception): Don't reset the thread abort

        * icall-def.h: New icall for getting the thread abort exception
        state for a thread.

        * object.c, thread.c, object-internals.h: A thread's abort
        exception state is now a GC handle.  To get the object it stands
        for, we must move it into the current app domain, if it's
        different than the one where it originated from.

        * appdomain.c: Bump corlib version.

        * domain.c, domain-internals.h: New function for setting the
        domain and migrate the thread abort exception or not.

        for szarrays.
        
        * object-internals.h (mono_class_from_name_cached): New macro to cache

        need to be boxed.

        * loader.c: Add a statistics for the size of the memberref signature cache.
        
        * loader.c (find_cached_memberref_sig): New helper function.
        (cache_memberref_sig): Ditto.

        * loader.c: Cache the result of parsing memberref signatures, since otherwise
        they will be parsed again for every generic instantiation, leading to unbounded

2009-02-05 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_create_from_typedef): The CLR supports SystemF
        recursive types such as List<T>:Cons<T,List<T>> so when doing the lookup
        for the parent type, the created type must be ready to be used on a generic
        instantiation.
        We fill this_arg/byval_arg if the parent is a generic instance to make sure
        we won't have duplicated entries in generic_inst_cache.

        Fixes #469553.

        * class-internals.h (struct _MonoClass): Remove enum_basetype, it contains
        the same information as element_class->byval_arg.

        * class.c reflection.c: Remove references to class->byval_arg.

        * class.c marshal.c: Use mono_class_enum_basetype () instead of accessing 
        klass->enum_basetype directly.

        * verify.c metadata.c object.c icall.c reflection.c: Use 
        mono_class_enum_basetype () instead of accessing klass->enum_basetype

2009-02-03 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c (is_compatible_boxed_valuetype): When checking if the boxed 
        valuetype is compatible with target type, check by inheritance as a
        VT is not really compatible with System.ValueType, for example.

        * verify.c (do_invoke_method): Improve error message.

        * verify.c (do_box_value): If boxing a nullable, use the type argument
        on stack instead.

        Fixes #469528.

2009-02-03 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * object.h: The lower bound of an array is a signed integer value.
        Introduce mono_array_lower_bound_t typedef. It should be used instead of
        gint32 as under MONO_BIG_ARRAYS it will be a gint64.

        * icall.c: Cast MonoArrayBounds::length to a signed value so correctly
        calculate the upper bound.
        
        Fixes #471252.

2009-02-02  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

2009-02-01  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * debug-mono-symfile.c (check_line): Return NULL instead of returning

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_load_type_info): Fill out info->min_align.
        (mono_class_native_size): Use klass->marshal_info->min_align instead of
        klass->min_align, since klass->min_align contains the managed alignment,
        while the native alignment can be different, like for longs on x86.
        Fixes #469135.

        * class-internals.h (MonoMarshalType): Add a min_align field.

2009-01-26 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        when LoadAssembly() fails.

2009-01-23  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_generic_param_equal): Only compare the

        #467834.

2009-01-21 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * domain-internals.h: Add new appdomain state MONO_APPDOMAIN_UNLOADING_START
        which signals that the unloading has started but all appdomain services must
        remain operational.

        * appdomain.c (mono_domain_unload): The initial state for unloading now
        is unloading_start and we switch to unloading after the managed call to
        AppDomain::DomainUnload has finished.

        The new unloading state has to be created because managed code in the
        DomainUnload event can depend on things like the threadpool still working.
        The domain must remain fully functional while the event executes.

        This shown as an issue due to Process::WaitForExit, which waits for
        async reads of stdout and stderr to complete. Since those are processed
        in the threadpool the code deadlocks because the DomainUnload callback 
        waits for the async read finished event, which should have been set by a
        threadpool job but has been discarded due to the domain been in unload
        state.

2009-01-21  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_generic_param_equal): Owner as well as

        * object-internals.h (struct _MonoException): Added a comment
        explaining the new use of trace_ips.

        * generic-sharing.c (inflate_other_data): Inflate array methods
        correctly.

        mono_method_search_in_array_class() and make it non-static.

2009-01-19  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * metadata.c (inflated_signature_in_image): Call signature_in_image as well.

2009-01-18  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * marshal.c (emit_marshal_custom): Avoid calling MarshalNativeToManaged
        for byval arguments without an [Out] attribute. Fixes #467212.

        Fix compilation under android.
        
        * sgen-gc.c: Instead of scanning gray objects after all roots have been 
        processed, scan them directly after they are copied, to achieve better locality
        and cache usage.

        * socket-io.c: Applied patch from Koushik Dutta
        (koush@koushikdutta.com). Disable IPV6 when running under android.

        * image.c: When unloading the image->references table, there can be gaps
        in it.  Ensure that we iterate every entry to avoid leaking assembly references
        when unloading an appdomain.

2009-01-16  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c: Add support for allocating a nursery at an aligned address, to

        * threads.c (mono_threads_abort_appdomain_threads): Abort threads outside the
        threads_lock () to prevent deadlocks.

        * sgen-gc.c gc-internal.h: Add a new root type root-with-wbarrier, which

        * sgen-gc.c: Fix warnings. Optimize copy_object () a bit. Split pinned/
        non-pinned roots into separate hashes to avoid having to traverse them
        in functions which are only interested in one kind.

        * metadata-verify.c: Initial skeleton of the metadata verifier.

        * pedump.c: Add support for the metadata verifier.

        * verify-internal.h: Export the whole assembly metadata verifier function.

2009-01-09 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * gc.c (mono_gc_init): Fix the comments about deadlock on windows.

2009-01-09  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Makefile.am: Upgrade dtrace-prelink.sh location.

2009-01-08 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * gc.c (mono_gc_init): Wait for finalizer thread to init on windows as
        well. Otherwise the shutdown deadlock that happens on unix will can happen
        as well.
        If the main thread code finishes too fast it's possible that the finalizer
        thread won't have executed yet, won't record itself as the finalizer thread
        and the shutdown sequence will wait on it forever.

2009-01-08 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * threads.c (mono_thread_current): Make THREAD_DEBUG work on windows
        with MSVC.

2009-01-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * appdomain.c: Initialize the mono_strtod_mutex here, thanks to
        Robert Jordan for pointing this out.

2009-01-08  Christian Prochnow  <cproch@seculogix.de>

        * icall.c
        * icall-def.h: added internal calls ves_icall_System_IO_DriveInfo_GetDiskFreeSpace,
        ves_icall_System_IO_DriveInfo_GetDriveType.

2009-01-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * icall.c: Wrap calls to mono_strtod in CriticalSection
        invocations when using eglib, to work around #464316.

2009-01-07 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * file-io.c (ves_icall_System_IO_MonoIO_GetCurrentDirectory): Double check the
        return value of GetCurrentDirectory to never access unitialized memory.

2009-01-07 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * file-io.c (ves_icall_System_IO_MonoIO_GetCurrentDirectory): Properly check the
        return value of GetCurrentDirectory and expand the buffer if needed.

        Fixes #459094.

        * marshal.c (GetIUnknownForObjectInternal, GetIUnknownForObjectInternal) : 
          Adding a call to mono_init_com_types.

        Code is contributed under MIT/X11 license.

2009-01-07  Geoff Norton  <gnorton@novell.com>

        * socket-io.c: ioctlsocket(FIONREAD) returns the size of the UDP header as well on 
        darwin.  Use getsockopt SO_NREAD instead to get the right values for TCP and UDP.
        ai_canonname can be null in some cases on darwin, where the runtime assumes it will 
        be the value of the ip buffer.

2009-01-06 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c (mono_class_interface_implements_interface): Verify parents as we can't rely on
        interfaces_packed here.

        Fixes part of #463294.

2009-01-06 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c (is_array_type_compatible): Ignore bounds and sizes when checking array compatibility.

        Fixes part of #463294.

2009-01-06 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c (stack_slot_is_complex_type_not_reference_type): Check if the type
        is a boxed complex as well.

        Fixes part of #463294.

2009-01-06 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * reflection.c (mono_image_get_methodref_token): Add an extra create_typespec parameter to
        control if a methodspec should be created for the generic method definition from external assemblies.
        Caching of methodspec is done using the handleref hash table.

        Fixes #462592.

2009-01-05 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * loader.c (find_method): When searching the interfaces of a class
        check the transitive closure of implemented interfaces.

        Fixes #463303.

2009-01-03 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c (get_implicit_generic_array_interfaces): Improve debugging code.
        
2009-01-03 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c (get_implicit_generic_array_interfaces): Extract valuetype
        interfaces calculation to fill_valuetype_array_derived_types.

        * class.c (get_implicit_generic_array_interfaces): Valuetypes need IList /
        ICollection / IEnumerator interfaces for their extra twin type - sbyte for byte
        for example.

        * class.c (get_implicit_generic_array_interfaces): InternalEnumerator gets
        interfaces for valuetypes if needed.    

        * class.c (fill_valuetype_array_derived_types): Enums should have interfaces
        for their basetype as well. Types are array expanded if rank is > 0.

        Fixes #400716.

2008-12-30  Bill Holmes  <billholmes54@gmail.com>

        * socket-io.h : Changing the signature of
          ves_icall_System_Net_Sockets_Socket_Accept_internal to pass
          the blocking state.

        * icall-def.h :  Changing the signature of
          System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Accept_internal to pass the blocking state.

        * socket-io.c (ves_icall_System_Net_Sockets_Socket_Accept_internal) :
          For Windows only.  Avoid blocking when calling accept by
          querying for a connection via select.  The loop also queries
          the thread state every 1000 micro seconds for the thread
          stop state.  This will avoid the process hanging on shutdown
          when using a TcpChannel that is never connected to.

        Code is contributed under MIT/X11 license.

2008-12-30  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * tabledefs.h: Add METHOD_ATTRIBUTE_CHECK_ACCESS_ON_OVERRIDE.

2008-12-26 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c (get_implicit_generic_array_interfaces): Extract common
        code to a helper function making it a lot easier on the eyes.

2008-12-26 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c (get_implicit_generic_array_interfaces): If the internal
        enumerator is an interface inflate System.Object instead of itself.

        Fixes #461261.

2008-12-24 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * object.c (mono_runtime_invoke_array): Don't assert with
        byref nullable types.

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_runtime_invoke): To handle
        byref nullables we unbox the object and store it on the
        stack. 
        We can't use the boxed object since it is the T of Nullable<T>
        and the boxed representation of a nullable it's underlying type
        or null.
        We could cheat and create a boxed nullable and use the same
        machinery of other byref VTs but this feels like a hack and
        using the stack has the bonus of reducing heap pressure.

        Fixes #461941.

2008-12-23 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_emit_managed_wrapper): Handle char
        return value.

        Fixes #461867.

2008-12-19  Bill Holmes  <billholmes54@gmail.com>

        * icall-def.h : Adding an internal call definition for 
          System.Environment.internalBroadcastSettingChange.

        * icall.c : Adding a Windows only implementation to broadcast a 
          WM_SETTINGCHANGE when an environment variable has changed.

        Code is contributed under MIT/X11 license.

2008-12-19  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * class.c, class-internals.h: Made
        mono_class_has_parent_and_ignore_generics() non-static.

Thu Dec 18 16:35:22 CET 2008 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * image.c: deal with the mmap failing when loading an image.

2008-12-17  Geoff Norton  <gnorton@novell.com>

        * threadpool.c: Ensure that the io_queue_lock is initialized
        in all circumstances, as we always attempt to cleanup against it.

2008-12-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Environment_get_Platform): For
        compatibility reasons for existing client code we will keep
        returning 4 for a while.   

        For how long will depend on the documentation being updated, and
        for us to give client code a chance to be updated.

        This reverts the original decison on #433108 since we did not
        catch roughly 33 instances of the broken code in our own source
        code base, we did not catch failures on the buildbots, and QA did
        not bring this as a problem.

        Only today I found some customer's code breaking due to our own
        class libraries not being fully updated and tracked it down to
        this change.  I am reverting it because if we could not even get
        our story straight in our own code base, how can we hope that our
        end user code be fixed?

        As of this morning, our Wiki page that documents how to detect
        Unix had not been fixed.    

2008-12-16  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * metadata.c (inflated_method_in_image): Add a workaround for #458168.

        * class.c (mono_class_get_fields): Handle loading errors.

2008-12-12 Mark Mason <mmason@upwardaccess.com>

        * metadata.c (mono_type_stack_size_internal): If SIZEOF_REGISTER > SIZEOF_VOID_P then use SIZEOF_REGISTER as the size and alignment of the stack slots.

        * mono-perfcounters.c: avoid warning.

2008-12-12 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * reflection.c (ensure_runtime_vtable): Work on generic instances and
        make sure all interfaces have MonoClass::interface_id set.

        * reflection.c (ensure_generic_class_runtime_vtable): Ensure the
        method table is property set.

2008-12-12 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c: New function mono_class_setup_interface_id that setup
        MonoClass::interface_id if needed.

        * class-internals.h: Export new function.

2008-12-12 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c: Add code to sanity check the vtable after setup_vtable_general
        has done it's work.

2008-12-11 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * icall.c: make Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly work properly when
        reflection is used to invoke the method.
        Bug #321781 fixed.

2008-12-11  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * metadata/generic-sharing.c: Look for constraints in all type
        arguments, not just the first one.

2008-12-10 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

2008-12-10 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_setup_fields): If working on an inflated class
        first check if the generic definition did init with success.

        Fixes #445361.

2008-12-10 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        pedump.c (main): Fix a warning.

2008-12-10  Bill Holmes  <billholmes54@gmail.com>

        * object-internals.h : Adding a definition for 
          MonoReflectionComVisibleAttribute.

        * marshal.c (cominterop_com_visible) :  Method added to check the 
          ComVisible attribute of a class.

        * marshal.c (cominterop_raise_hr_exception, cominterop_get_interface) :  
          cominterop_raise_hr_exception added to consolidate common code 
          to raise hr exceptions.

        * marshal.c (cominterop_can_support_dispatch) :  Method added to determine 
          if a managed class should support IDispatch.

        * marshal.c 
          (cominterop_get_idispatch_for_objec, cominterop_ccw_queryinterfacet) :  
          Added additional checks for managed object when getting 
          an IDispatch interface.

        Code is contributed under MIT/X11 license.

2008-12-10 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        pedump.c (main): Handle mono_get_method () returning NULL. 

2008-12-09  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * marshal.h: Fix a warning.

2008-12-09  Bill Holmes  <billholmes54@gmail.com>

        * marshal.c : Adding cominterop_release_all_rcws to release all
          runtime callable wrappers held by the runtime.

        * marshal.h : Adding declaration for cominterop_release_all_rcws.
          
        Code is contributed under MIT/X11 license.

2008-12-09  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * metadata.c (mono_image_alloc_lock): New helper function.
        (mono_image_alloc0_lock): Ditto.

        * metadata.c: Use the alloc_lock () helper functions for allocating
        memory from the image mempool.

2008-12-08 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_from_generic_parameter): Document it's
        locking behavior. Fix double checked locking here, we stored in
        param->pklass a partially initialized MonoClass and no membar was used.

2008-12-05  Marek Habersack  <mhabersack@novell.com>

        * sysmath.c (ves_icall_System_Math_Round2): if round (3) and rint
        (3) functions are present in the C library use them to do the
        job. If they are absent, make sure that the sum of int_part and
        dec_part is rounded before returning. This is necessary due to the
        division of dec_part by the power of 10 before the final addition
        is performed - if the result is not rounded in some cases it will
        yield invalid results.

2008-12-04  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_emit_native_wrapper): Add AOT support for pinvoke
        wrappers by emitting the function address using a CEE_MONO_ICALL_ADDR 
        instruction instead of a pointer constant.

2008-12-03  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * loader.c (mono_method_get_header): Do most of the work outside the
        loader lock, to avoid assembly load hook deadlocks.

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_parse_mh_full): Use finer-grained locking.
        (mono_metadata_parse_type_full): Ditto.

2008-12-02 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * mempool.c (mono_backtrace): Take the number of allocated bytes as argument.
        Make the stack depth fixed. Ensure proper argument passing to the backtrace
        funtions. Finally, use a lock to produce well ordered output.

        The lock looks silly, as all calls to the corlib mempool should be guarded
        with the loader lock, but for some reason this fact doesn't help. 

        * mempool.c (mono_mempool_alloc0): Add support for TRACE_ALLOCATIONS.

2008-12-02  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * socket-io.c: 64 bit big-endian fixes.

        * verify.c (is_compatible_boxed_valuetype): Rewrite function to work properly with
        targets that require strict compatibility between the types.

        * verify.c (verify_stack_type_compatibility_full): Boxed values are not compatible
        to unboxed types. All cases that this is true are checked by is_compatible_boxed_valuetype.
        Kill the strict argument and create a new one valuetype_must_be_boxed.

        * verify.c (verify_delegate_compatibility): Use verify_stack_type_compatibility_full to

        * class.c (mono_class_setup_fields): Don't copy MonoType::attrs as
        the inflate_generic_type machinery should handle it.

        This avoids a crash when the field's flags is zero and it's type is
        a primitive.
        What happens is that mono_metadata_parse_type_full will see that opt_attrs
        is zero and will return one of the cached built-in primitive types. Since
        those types live in read-only memory, the code that copies it crashes.

        add_finalizer_callback () is not implemented correctly, it can't
        without adding more overhead to the finalizer loop and it's not

        more than a number of times we insert it into the thunk so that it
        can be called without lookup in unmanaged code.

        * generic-sharing.c, class-internals.h: Fetching a
        MonoGenericInst* for a method from an (M)RGCTX.

        * console-io.c: Add support for tracking the window size if it
        changes.

        The setup is very simple: the TtySetup function will now return a
        pointer to a location in memory that tracks the current console
        size.  The managed code checks its current value every time its
        queried against the last value set, and updates accordingly.

        With this setup we can work with multiple consoles, and we do not
        require to poke into managed code from a signal handler.

        Additionally, the environment for COLUMNS and LINES is now handled
        in unmanaged code.

        (ves_icall_System_ConsoleDriver_GetTtySize): This is now gone.

2008-09-07  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_type_native_stack_size): Treat
        MONO_TYPE_TYPEDBYREF like MONO_TYPE_VALUETYPE.

2008-09-03 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c (verify_type_compatibility_full): Revert change
        to allow converting a native int to unmanaged pointer be verifiable
        under non-strict mode.
        It turns out that "(IntPtr)null" is indeed unverifiable, go figure.

        * verify.c: Added some TODOs.

2008-09-02  Bill Holmes  <billholmes54@gmail.com>

        * marshal.c (ves_icall_System_Runtime_InteropServices_Marshal_StringToHGlobalAnsi,
          ves_icall_System_Runtime_InteropServices_Marshal_StringToHGlobalUni) :

        Code is contributed under MIT/X11 license.

2008-08-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * console-io.c (sigcont_handler): We need to restore the entire
        termios state, not only the original settings, as things like echo
        can be controlled after this (Booish exposes this issue with its
        own ReadLine implementation).

        Additionally, we need to set the terminal back into keypad_xmit
        mode.

        a hook which initializes domain->runtime_info.

2008-08-15  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        asserting if the ares parameter is null.

        * mono-perfcounters.c: Fix warnings.

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_delegate_begin_invoke): Don't set save_lmf, it
        is not needed, don't check for interruptions either.
        (mono_marshal_get_delegate_end_invoke): Ditto.

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_native_wrapper): Add an 'aot' argument, when
        it is set, looking up the icall address is deferred to the JIT, since 
        in embedded scenarios, the icall might not be registered in the runtime
        doing the AOT compilation. Backported from the 2.0 branch.

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

        * marshal.c (mono_remoting_wrapper): Handle nullable types correctly.

        single JIT info table in circulation.  If there is more, the free
        is delayed via a queue.

        * threads.c, threads-types.h: New hazard pointer function for
        freeing all freeable delayed items in one sitting.

        * reflection.c (mono_type_get_object): Don't store the suplied
        MonoType with type_hash. A caller which pass a type that
        was mono_metadata_type_dup'ed cannot free it reliably, as type_hash
        might end with a pointer to freed memory.
        The solution is to use byval_arg or this_arg from the associated

        * threadpool.c (mono_thread_pool_remove_socket): Always remove the
        async socket operations from the pending list when a socket
        closes.  Leaving it until the threadpool services the event
        exposes a race condition when a socket descriptor is reused.

        not set in class->vtable.

        if using the vtable trampoline. Also remove some strange code which put the
        generic methods themselves into the vtable slots. Remove the AOT init_vtable
        stuff as it is no longer needed.

2008-05-19 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * pedump.c: Give make --verify all option check code as well.
        Using --verify code won't check for metadata now.

        * mono-debug.c
        (_mono_debug_using_mono_debugger): New global variable; it's set
        directly by the debugger, so mono_debug_using_mono_debugger() also
        works after attaching.

2008-05-18 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * object.c (mono_class_create_runtime_vtable): Use memory barriers
        as we do double checked locking on MonoClass::runtime_info and
        MonoClassRuntimeInfo::domain_vtables.

2008-05-16 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_setup_vtable_general): Use memory barriers
        as we do double checked locking on MonoClass::vtable.

2008-05-16 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * reflection.c (resolve_object): Inflate only if the generic context

2008-05-15  Jonathan Chambers  <joncham@gmail.com>

        * metadata.c (emit_marshal_string): Free return strings using mono_marshal_free
        instead of g_free.

        Code is contributed under MIT/X11 license.

2008-05-14 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c: Revert unrelated change.

2008-05-14 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c (check_is_valid_type_for_field_ops): Type on stack can be

2008-05-14 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c: Added mono_class_has_parent_and_ignore_generics. Visibility
        checks must ignore generic instantiations, so mono_class_has_parent is not
        suitable. Fixes #390128.

2008-05-14  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * reflection.c (mono_image_create_token): Add a 'register_token' argument, and use

        * coree.c: Rename dwOldProtect to OldProtect that makes naming convention
        consistent.

        Contributed under MIT/X11 license.

2008-05-14  Kornél Pál  <kornelpal@gmail.com>

        * domain.c (mono_init_internal): Enable LoadLibrary support. Load EXE image
        even when get_runtimes_from_exe didn't load it that allows mono_fixup_exe_image

        (mono_cleanup): Use mono_close_exe_image.
        (mono_close_exe_image): New function.

        (CorExitProcess): Only call ExitProcess for now.
        (CorBindToRuntimeEx): New stub implementation.

        (mono_set_act_ctx): New function to set activation context.
        (mono_load_coree): Use init_from_coree. Call mono_set_act_ctx.  
        * coree.h: Move STATUS_SUCCESS and STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT to header.
        Declare mono_module_handle, coree_module_handle, mono_get_module_file_name,
        mono_load_coree, mono_fixup_exe_image and mono_image_open_from_module_handle
        as MONO_INTERNAL.
        * domain-internals.h: Add mono_close_exe_image.

2008-05-13 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_compute_size): Correctly calculate field
        size for generic param and event tables. Fixes #388977.

2008-05-13  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * loader.c (mono_method_signature): Use memory barriers because of the double
        checked locking pattern.

        * threads.c (remove_and_abort_threads): Stop and wait for threads which are
        aborting or aborted as well. Fixes #376391.

        existing runtime state in the Suspend handler during shutdown.

        * threads.c (mono_thread_request_interruption): Add some FIXMEs.

        * threads.c (mono_thread_suspend_all_other_threads): Add support for threads 
        which are starting up or shutting down.

        * threads.c (mono_threads_set_shutting_down): Don't return a value since
        this function never returns if the runtime is already shutting down.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Environment_Exit): Update after 
        mono_threads_set_shutting_down () signature change.
        
2008-05-09 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class.c: Added can_access_instantiation to verify if the instantiation
        is visible. Fix access check for nested types as they returned TRUE
        before doing type and generic instantiation visibility checks.

2008-05-08 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_create_generic_class): The created type
        must have a different container from its TypeBuilder. Otherwise they
        will end sharing generic arguments, which is wrong.

        Due to the sharing, making a generic instance of the created type using
        the TypeBuider generic arguments resulted in the generic type definition
        been returned, which is wrong as well.

        As a bonus the code was leaking the type_params array. This memory should
        be allocated from the image mempool.

        This fixes bug #354047.

2008-05-08 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        New internal function mono_assembly_has_skip_verification.

        * assembly.c: New function mono_assembly_has_skip_verification. It checks
        if an assembly has a version 2.0 SkipVerification security attribute. Fixes
        part of #387274.

2008-05-07  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * object.c (mono_object_get_virtual_method): Inflate the resulting method if

        verify_all and the verifier mode was not set, only
        gac and corlib types are fulltrust. This makes --verify-all
        usable to detect unverifiable code, which is the expected
        use case.

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

        * verify.h: Ops, commited the header with debug
        enabled.

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

        * verify.c (merge_stack): Use the new value on unverifiable
        stack merges.

        * verify.c (verify_type_compatibility_full): Comparison
        of nullable types can't use mono_class_is_assignable_from.

        * verify.c, verify.h: Added MONO_VERIFY_REPORT_ALL_ERRORS
        that makes all verification errors be reported.

        * pedump.c: Pass MONO_VERIFY_REPORT_ALL_ERRORS to
        mono_method_verify.

2008-05-05  Robert Jordan  <robertj@gmx.net>

2008-05-02  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * icall.c : base64_to_byte_array() needs some more strict

        because we're setting it up lazily now.

2008-04-26  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c: Make the 'desc' variables an mword instead of a guint32 to fix 
        64 bit support.

2008-04-24 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c (verify_class_for_overlapping_reference_fields): 
        If class is under fulltrust allow reference types to overllap
        if they have the same RVA.

2008-04-24 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * pedump.c: Added new flag valid-only, that makes the verifier
        behaves just like --security=validil. It won't fail type load
        due to unverifiable restrictions.

2008-04-23 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class-internals.h (struct MonoMethod): Added a verification_success
        field to cache verifier executions. Reduced MonoMethod:slot size by
        one bit.

2008-04-23  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * sgen-gc.c (OBJ_RUN_LEN_SIZE): Make this and other macros take a 'desc' argument
        instead of a 'vt' argument to save an indirection and to allow these to be used

        mono_make_shadow_copy.

        * assembly.c (mono_assembly_open_full): shadow copying of
        assemblies moved to here, so that all the assemblies within the
        application domain's private binary directories can be
        processed. Fixes bug #380546

        * appdomain.c (mono_make_shadow_copy): make_shadow_copy renamed to
        mono_make_shadow_copy and made non-static. The decision whether
        to shadow-copy an assembly is made based on its location - it's
        copied if it's in one of the private application domain binary
        directories and its different to the target file in the shadow
        directory. Fixes bug #380546

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

        * reflection.c (fixup_method): Handle {Method|Constructor}OnTypeBuilderInst.

        portability API to look up the assembly file. Fixes behavior in
        situations when the application has a bin/ directory, but the
        assembly search patch refers to Bin/ (and thus the requested file
        name is Bin/SomeLibrary.dll). Fixes bug #379888

        mscorlibs for the non-refonly case as well.

        * image.c (do_mono_image_load): Remove the mscorlib check, it is already done
        in mono_assembly_load_from_full (). Fixes #378924.

2008-04-11  Geoff Norton  <gnorton@novell.com>

        * icall.c: The global extern environ doesn't exist on Mac.  We

        * class.c (mono_class_get_field_default_value): Don't pass cindex
        as hint to mono_metadata_get_constant_index. The local is not initialized
        and should contain garbage most of the time. This could only work
        with a lot of luck.

        * reflection.c (calc_section_size): Use add_stream_zero to align the size of

        the lookups in the GAC use a lowercase public key token
        (gaacutil already does the lowercasing on install). Fixes
        bug #369541.

Tue Mar 11 16:47:32 CET 2008 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: handle types with no parents by forcing them to have
        System.Object as a parent and marking them as broken (this currently
        allows the first part of bug #369173 to work as well, likely because
        we don't check for typeload exceptions everywhere yet).

Tue Mar 11 15:23:54 CET 2008 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: more complete check that types belong to corlib
        (fixes second part of bug #369173).

          Rename "Unknown" to "CatTypeUnknown" to avoid name collisions for 
          MSVC builds.

Wed Oct 3 17:26:58 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: automatically add to vectors only a few essential explicit
        generic interfaces. The rest of the interfaces that arrays should
        provide are currently implicitly added (but still not lazily, see the
        design in the discussion of bug#325495 for the details of what is
        needed for that). Additionally, implicit interfaces are assigned the
        same vtable slot as the explicit interfaces (as they are compatible):
        this enables huge memory savings since we don't need to instantiate
        as many memthods and as large vtables anymore. Also, Since
        GetEnumerator<T> returns an instance of a type that is required to
        support a similarly large set of interfaces as arrays, we add
        implicit interfaces and interface offset sharing support to those
        types, too. This change adds all the required interfaces so that
        the anonarray.cs test case in the bug report works (we don't add
        all the interfaces to arrays of arrays 3-level deep and more because
        of the memory requirements explained in the bug and since they are much
        less common: the lazy-loading support will enabled them to work, too).

2007-10-02  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c (merge_stacks): major clean up, all type compatibility
        checks are done by verify_type_compatibility. This fix my earlier lack
        of understanding of the CLR type system and merge_stacks no longer looks
        scary.

        * verify.c: fixed some bad spelling.

2007-10-02  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c (mono_type_from_stack_slot): added. returns the MonoType for
        a given stack slock.
        
        * verify.c: killed verify_type_compat in favor of verify_type_compatibility and
        verify_type_compatibility_full. This removed a near indentical function and fixed
        handling of Int32 and IntPtr across all opcodes.

Tue Oct 2 15:24:38 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: only vectors have the additional generic interfaces.

2007-10-01  Jonathan Chambers <joncham@gmail.com>

        * mono-config.c: Use g_strcasecmp instead of
        strcasecmp like everywhere else to fix
        compilation with MSVC.
        
        Code is contributed under MIT/X11 license.

Mon Oct 1 14:39:11 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.c, object-internals.h: refactored the IMT code to enable
        building a single slot at a time and lazily creating the IMT trampolines
        and thunks.

2007-09-29  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * loader.c (inflate_generic_signature): Allocate inflated signatures from the heap.

2007-09-29  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@gmail.com>

        * loader.c (method_from_methodspec): Rearrange to avoid
        un-necessary exposition.  Don't assert out if the method's
        declaring type is a generic type definition.

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

        * mono-debug.h (MONO_DEBUGGER_VERSION): Bump to 61.

Fri Sep 28 20:15:47 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        requires less cachelines at runtime and save a few bytes on 64 bit
        systems.

2007-09-28  Jb Evain  <jbevain@novell.com>

        * reflection.c: when encoding type names in custom attributes,
        if the type is a closed generic type, its generic arguments
        have to be serialized as AssemblyQualifiedName, so that when
        they are deserialized, it's possible to re-create them properly.
        Fixes #329450.


Fri Sep 28 19:19:49 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.c, class-internals.h: added delegate-creation counter.

Fri Sep 28 18:07:53 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: cleanup of the code that synthetizes interfaces for
        arrays in 2.0: saves quit a bit of corlib mempool memory.
        Code to fix bug #325495 ifdeffed out for now until the issues
        with memory usage and O(n^2) behaviour are fixed.

Fri Sep 28 17:19:40 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * verify.c: added support for type checking ldind_* opcodes.

2007-09-27  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * class-internals.h (struct _MonoGenericClass): new field is_tb_open
        which is used to distinguish the fully open instantiation of a TypeBuilder
        with the rest. This temporary hack is required to restore the property that
        the fully open instantiation is the same type of the generic type definition.

        * class-internals.h (mono_generic_class_is_generic_type_definition):
        new function as part of the internal API.

        * class.c (inflate_generic_type): return NULL when the generic inst is
        fully open. The fully open generic type is now the same as the generic type
        definition for non TypeBuilder types.

        * class.c (mono_generic_class_get_class): removed assert since it is
        no longer valid, gklass->cached_class can point to the generic type definition.

        * class.c (mono_generic_class_is_generic_type_definition): new.

        * metadata.c (mono_generic_class_hash): added is_tb_open field
        to the hash calculation.

        * metadata.c (free_generic_class): if the generic class is associated
        with the generic type definition, its field will come from the mempool and
        must not be freed.

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_is_type_builder_generic_type_definition):
        new, this function identifies the corner case of a TypeBuilder fully open
        instantiation.

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_lookup_generic_class): use is_tb_open
        for lookup. Set gclass->cached_class to be the container class in case of
        the fully open instantiation of non TypeBuilder types.

        * metadata.c (_mono_metadata_generic_class_equal): use is_tb_open
        to compare generic classes.

        * reflection.c (method_encode_methodspec): remove assert that
        no longer is valid.

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_generic_class_initialize): add
        an aditional assert to ensure the proper type is used.

2007-09-26  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c: disabled all debug spew by default, define MONO_VERIFIER_DEBUG
        to enjoy it.

        * verify.c: Support for verifying VAR and MVAR types, 

2007-09-25  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_get_property_info): Set the reflected type of the
        accessors correctly.

Tue Sep 25 14:56:03 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * threads.c: support OSX and other systems in
        mono_thread_get_stack_bounds (bug #328026).

2007-09-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug.h
        (MonoDebugVarInfo): Replace `MonoClass *klass' with `MonoType *type'.

2007-09-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug.h
        (MonoDebugClassEntry): Moved the definition of this struct into
        mono-debug.c to make it private.

        * mono-debug.c
        (MonoDebugClassEntry): Removed `symfile_id'; since we now use one
        type table per symbol file, we don't need to store the symfile id
        any longer.

2007-09-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        Create one type table per symbol file, since a `MonoClass *' gets
        invalid when its image is unloaded.

        * mono-debug.h (MonoSymbolTable): Removed `type_table'.
        (MonoDebugHandle): Added `type_table'.

Mon Sep 24 17:25:43 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mempool.c, mempool.h: added mono_mempool_new_size () API
        to be able to specify a smaller initial size for the pool.
        Adjusted the code to slowly increase pool size before using
        the previous default size.
        * image.c: use a small initial size for image mempools.

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

Fri Sep 21 14:39:45 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * image.c: removed the guid hash tables: we can get the same info
        without the additional memory usage hit (partially fixes also bug #327052).

2007-09-10  Massimiliano Mantione  <massi@ximian.com>

        * profiler.h, profiler-private.h, profiler.c: add a new profiler
        event to handle unloading methods. After the event is called, the
        corresponding MonoMethod* must be considered invalid.
        * loader.c (mono_free_method): call the new mono_profiler_method_free
        event.

        (MonoDebugDataItemType): Moved into mono-debug.c.
        (MonoDebugMethodJitInfo): Remove `address'.
        (mono_debug_data_table): New global variable.
        (mono_debug_lookup_method_addresses): New public function.
        (mono_debug_find_method): Take a `MonoMethod *', not a

2007-06-28  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug.c (mono_debug_debugger_version): New public variable.

2007-07-31  William Holmes  <billholmes54@gmail.com>

        * metadata.c Changed mono_type_create_from_typespec to not insert

        * pedump.c (dump_metadata, dump_metadata_header): dump
        versions contained in the metadata header.

        Hazard pointers, to be used by lock-free parallel algorithms.

2007-07-26  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c (mono_runtime_cleanup): Invoke io-layer cleanup
        routine on non-windows platforms, as I've not managed to think of
        a non-kludgy way of doing this.  Finishes off bug 78739.

Wed Jul 25 18:06:33 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.c: properly setup interface_bitmap in proxy vtables.

2007-07-25  Marek Habersack  <mhabersack@novell.com>

        * appdomain.c (get_shadow_assembly_location): do not use TickCount
        to create unique shadow copy target directories, use the domain's
        serial number instead. Each domain gets a unique target directory
        that way.

        * domain.c (mono_domain_create): added code to increment domain
        shadow copy serial number and cache the value in the current
        domain structure.

        * domain-internals.h (struct _MonoDomain): added a new field -
        shadow_serial to hold the serial number used in generation of
        shadow-copy directories. This is to make sure that the directory
        name is unique for each and every domain created. We avoid a race
        condition with overriding assemblies already in use by other app
        domains.

2007-07-24  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        error.

Tue Jul 24 15:15:19 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * loader.c, class-internals.h, reflection.c: removed the per-method
        generics hashtable: we use the global one through the call of
        mono_class_inflate_generic_method ().

Mon Jul 23 19:43:14 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c, metadata.c, class-internals.h: introduce yet another
        generics global cache for inflated methods (fixes 98% of the perf
        issue in bug #81806).

        * icall.c (free_generic_context): Kill.
        (init_generic_context_from_args): Use mono_metadata_get_generic_inst.

        * reflection.c (reflection_methodbuilder_to_mono_method): Use
        mono_metadata_type_dup.
        * marshal.c (mono_mb_create_method): Likewise.

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_type_dup): Rename from
        mono_metadata_type_dup_mp.  Take an optional mempool instead of a
        MonoImage.  Handle a few more cases, esp. when no mempool is given.
        * marshal.c, metadata-internals.h: Update to changes.

Mon Jul 23 11:43:31 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

2007-07-22  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * loader.c (mono_method_get_param_token): Make this work on generic methods.

        * appdomain.c (get_shadow_assembly_location): append the current
        ticks value to the path. Avoids overwriting the same assemblies by
        several threads at the same time.

2007-07-20  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>
        and Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_MonoMethod_get_IsGenericMethodDefinition):
        Simplify slightly.
        (ves_icall_MonoMethod_GetGenericMethodDefinition): Update
        property for testing if a method is a generic method definition.

        * verify.c: changed MONO_TYPE_TYPEDBYREF stack type from 
        TYPE_COMPLEX to TYPE_PTR, it did not make any sense to be
        grouped with class and valuetype. This change will simply 
        the code as it should be handled just like unmanaged pointers.

2007-07-19  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * class.c (concat_two_strings_with_zero): Fixed a silly bug.

2007-07-19  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * verify.c: several stack merge issues fixed, reference comparisons now
        check the type size. strict type check now works correctly.
        added more uses of IS_MANAGED_POINTER macro.
        fixed issues pointed by running the test suite against .net.

          It adds a rootimage parameter to mono_reflection_get_type_internal,
          adds new function mono_reflection_get_type_with_rootimage and use
          the rootimage to resolve the types instead of the current image

Wed Jun 20 10:22:15 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c: removed Mono.Data.SqliteClient from the list of

        and 'cached_context' fields into embedded 'MonoGenericContext' field.
        * class.c: Update to changes.

        step in implementing IMT, so that all isinst checks now can go
        through the bitmap.
        This was needed because vtables for TransparentProxy need to look
        like the vtable of the "target" class, so they need to point to
        its interface bitmap directly.

2007-05-08  Massimiliano Mantione  <massi@ximian.com>

        * class-internals.h: Added MONO_CLASS_IMPLEMENTS_INTERFACE macro and

        * assembly.c (mono_assembly_open_from_bundle): Make

        here.

        * domain.c (app_config_parse): Take an assembly exe file name as

        for one in the file system.
        (get_runtimes_from_exe): Corrsponding change to call of
        app_config_parse().
        (get_runtimes_from_exe): Check for bundled assembly exe file first

        functions to set and retrieve

        * assembly.h: Declare mono_register_machine_config().

        * mono-config.h: Declare mono_get_machine_config() and
        mono_config_string_for_assembly_file().

        * icall.c: No declaration of environ necessary on Win32. It is
        declared (as a macro expanding to a function call) in stdlib.h.
        (ves_icall_System_Configuration_DefaultConfig_get_bundled_machine_config):
        New internal mono function. Returns the value of
        mono_get_machine_config() as a Mono string.

        replace 'context' field accesses.
        (mono_class_get_context): New helper.

        overflows the buffer.   
        
        (mono_string_to_byvalstr): Also fix this routine.   The code here
        was not properly terminating a string (it was only terminated
        because of the previous catch-all memset). 

        I left the memset, because I do not know if applications expect
        the runtime to clear this region. 

        Fixes #79944.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Reflection_Assembly_InternalGetType):
        Clear the error before returning to unmanaged code to prevent the
        runtime from being confused later on (fixes  80420).

        and get the stat data for the target, but also add the
        FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT flag.  This is an attempt to follow
        the specs for the windows symlink support, but will probably have
        to be reworked when I have test data from a vista machine.  Fixes
        bug 79887.

        meaningful error message.
        * exception.c: added mono_get_exception_bad_image_format2 which 
        constructs a BadImageFormatException using the ctor taking a custom

        message.
        * exception.h: define mono_get_exception_bad_image_format2 function.
        * icall.c: in InternalGetAssemblyName, throw BadImageFormatException 
        when file name pointed to an invalid IL image. Use 
        mono_get_exception_file_not_found2 to construct FileNotFoundException,
        as this results in a more meaningful error message.

Fri Oct 6 16:57:26 CEST 2006 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * gc.c: do not allow the user to SuppressFinalize () a

        * image.c (full_path): A new method used to obtain the actual path
        of an assembly even in the presence of symbolic links.  

        This is necessary for the case where we are running a binary that
        has been GACed, but we are using the "published" path name
        ($prefix/mono/1.0/blah.exe) which happens to point to the real
        file in the GAC.

        This was the source of the failure for the `xsp' command with the
        recent AppDomain changes, as far as the runtime was concerned,
        there were two different assemblies: $prefix/mono/1.0/blah.exe and
        $prefix/mono/gac/blah/version/blah.exe.

        (do_mono_image_open): use full path

        managed code if needed.

        Fix part of #79012

        * domain.c: Documentation updates.

        * loader.c (mono_free_method): Do not release the method
        information if we are being profiled, as profilers will use this
        information at shut down to present some data to the user.

        This is needed so that the profiler does not crash, as the
        profiler tends to keep MonoMethods around, and they might become
        invalid if we free these.

        (mono_get_method_constrained): Return the original CIL stream
        method as well, so verification can be performed against it.

2006-07-25 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

2006-04-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        Work to catch the crash from #76795 and turn it into an
        exception.   As I stubbed out pieces of the VisualBasic support,
        I found a number of places where the code was failing and I added
        checks to those places. 
        
        * metadata.c (do_mono_metadata_parse_generic_class): Make this
        function return a status code.  If we fail to parse the signature
        from mono_metadata_parse_generic_inst, return FALSE.

        * loader.c (mono_get_method_from_token): If we fail to load the
        method (mono_class_get) return NULL.   

        * (method_from_memberref): Return NULL if we are unable to parse
        the method signature

        (mono_loader_error_prepare_exception): Since we now use the
        loader_error flag internally to stop processing, and obtaining
        exceptions that might be thrown will walk this code path the
        proper way of going from a MonoLoaderError into a
        MonoException was convoluted.   This new routine encapsulates the
        process of turning the error into an exception and *clearing* the
        error afterwards.
        
2006-04-27  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        Work to catch the crashes from 75075 (cope in Assembly.GetTypes
        with missing assemblies), and to cope with:

                * Missing fieldref from a non-existing assembly.
                * Missing methodref from a non-existing assembly.

        The first batch of work to address *some* of the issues from 76661.
        
        * object.c (mono_class_create_runtime_vtable): If we fail to
        initialize the class raise the exception here. 

        * metadata.c (mono_class_get_overrides_full): If any methods fail
        to load return the failure to the caller.

        * assembly.c: Use REFERENCE_MISSING instead of (gpointer) -1 for
        flagging assemblies that failed to load.   

        Do not crash if we are unable to load the assembly.

        (mono_assembly_close): Do nothing with REFERENCE_MISSING
        assemblies. 

        * loader.c (mono_loader_set_error_type_load): Change the
        convention to always pass unallocated strings, so we make our own
        copies (I know our own code had duplicated strings before, but
        this keeps the normal conventions).
        (method_from_memberref): Call mono_loader_set_error_method_load
        for all possible failures of loading the class. 
        Remove assert, turn into a loader error.

        (mono_loader_error_to_exception): Move this routine from mini
        (mini_loader_error_to_exception) there was no need to have that in
        mini. 

        * class.c (mono_class_from_typeref): If we were not able to load
        the assembly with mono_assembly_load_reference, call the
        mono_loader_set_error_type_load to register the problem.

        (mono_class_setup_fields): If we fail to load the type from
        mono_metadata_parse_type_full, call mono_class_set_failure and
        break from the loop.

        If class->exception_type is set, we do not layout the fields as
        that might crash the runtime, and instead return (from breaking
        from the previous loop).

        (mono_class_setup_vtable): This now returns a boolean indicating
        whether the table was properly setup.   The decision is driven by
        mono_class_get_overrides_full which might run into non-existing
        methods. 
        
        (mono_class_init): Returns TRUE on success or FALSE if there was a
        problem in loading the type (incorrect assemblies, missing
        assemblies, methods, etc).

        When we call mono_class_setup_fields we also check for a potential
        error inside this call (either a class exception or a general
        loader exception).

        (mono_class_create_from_typedef): If the parent fails to load
        (calling mono_class_get_full) return NULL.
        
        ** Important **

        calls to mono_metadata_parse_type_full should be checked
        everywhere and set the mono_class_set_failure
        (MONO_EXCEPTION_TYPE_LOAD) if we are not able to get the type.

        The current patch checks the places where my manually constructed
        tests show the errors are showing up, but we should do it
        everywhere. 

        ** Important2 **

        mono_class_init return values should be tested everywhere, like
        the previous case this is something that we should audit
        everywhere and not only on the cases exposed by the tests I
        created.

2006-04-10  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        Clean up the debugger's thread-handling code.

        The debugger's thread-handling code has been moved from

        * appdomain.c (MONO_CORLIB_VERSION): Bump

        * domain.c (mono_init_internal): get the nullable type

        * class.c (mono_class_is_nullable): New method
        (mono_class_get_nullable_param): New mehod
        (mono_class_create_generic): In types T? set cast_class to T

        * class-internals.h (MonoDefaults): new nullable default class
        (mono_class_get_nullable_param, mono_class_get_nullable_param):
        new methods.

2005-12-05  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * metadata.c (select_container): New.  Refactor code to select the
        appropriate GenericContainer given the type of generic parameter
        we are looking for.
        (mono_metadata_parse_generic_param): Take a MonoGenericContainer,
        not a MonoGenericContext.  Use select_container.  Update parameters.
        (do_mono_metadata_parse_type): Combine the code for MONO_TYPE_VAR
        and MONO_TYPE_MVAR.
        (unwrap_arrays): Remove duplicate tests.
        (find_generic_param): Rename from 'has_same_context'.  Now walks a
        generic instantiated class to find any arguments that are generic
        parameters.
        (mono_type_create_from_typespec_full): Use find_generic_param to
        avoid evicting some generic instantiations from the typespec
        cache.

Mon Dec 5 15:07:42 GMT 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: fixed writing of doubles on ARM FPA.

2005-12-02  Robert Jordan  <robertj@gmx.net>

        * icall.c: Fixed EventInfo.ReflectedType (#76829).

2005-12-01 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * filewatcher.c: try loading libgamin-1.so.0 before libfam, since at
        least on SUSE 10 they are not the same (on debian, they are just the
        same thing).

2005-12-01  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_MonoType_get_DeclaringType): Implement
        DeclaringType for VARs and MVARs.

2005-11-29 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: workaround for a bug that shows up on the Mac:
        select()+connect() on a blocking socket is not like it should
        be, so we proceed to connect() in that case, wasting the I/O
        threadpool thread until connect succeedes. Fixes bug #75436.

2005-11-29 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: fix typo when setting file descriptor states.

        (method_from_methodspec): Remove dead-store of the 'container'
        variable.  It's overwritten before use.

        checks tighter.
        (mono_metadata_parse_generic_param): Likewise.
        * loader.c (find_method_in_class): Does not need a
        MonoGenericContainer.  Use 'mono_method_signature' rather than
        'mono_method_signature_full'.
        (find_method, mono_get_method_constrained, method_from_memberref):
        Update to changes.

        * metadata.c (mono_type_create_from_typespec_full): Ensure that
        owner-less generic-parameters are never evicted from the typespec
        cache.

        * loader.c (method_from_memberref): Don't use the current context
        when parsing signatures.
        (method_from_methodspec, mono_get_method_from_token): Update to changes.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_MonoType_get_DeclaringMethod): Look at 
        type->data.generic_param only if the type is an MVAR.
        (ves_icall_MonoMethod_GetGenericArguments): Ensure that we don't
        leak owner-less VARs and MVARs into managed space.

        code on ARM with optimizations).

2005-09-28  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * loader.c
        (method_from_memberref): Added `MonoGenericContext *class_context'
        argument; this is used when parsing a MONO_MEMBERREF_PARENT_TYPESPEC.
        (method_from_methodspec): If we're a memberref, use the enclosing
        context when parsing its parent.  Fixes #76262; see gtest-206.cs.

2005-09-27  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * class-internals.h (mono_field_is_deleted): Do the test for
        rtspecialname before we check the actual name of the field. This
        prevents us from dereferencing a pointer into the string table,
        saving us from accessing a few pages

        * *.c: Replace the use of {Enter,Leave}CriticalSection with
        macros. This will allow a deadlock debugger to easily be plugged
        in.

        * metadata.c
        (mono_metadata_parse_signature_full): Take a `MonoGenericContainer *'
        instead of a `MonoGenericContext *'.

2005-09-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.c
        (mono_class_from_generic_parameter): Set `klass->generic_container'
        (mono_class_from_generic_parameter): Likewise.
        (mono_bounded_array_class_get): We inherit the generic container
        from the element class.

        * loader.c
        (find_method, find_method_in_class): Take a `MonoGenericContext *'
        argument rather than computing it here.
        (method_from_memberref): Correctly set the generic context before
        parsing the signature.  Fixes #75681.

        to parse a long format assembly name.
        * metadata-internals.h: Keep mono_assembly_name_parse_full as
        private, since calling it to preserve the key requires
        freeing it manually.
        
2005-09-26  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * locales.c : removed HAVE_ICU part.

2005-09-20 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * socket-io.c: the field names were changed 3 months ago and no one
        realized until bug #76077 got filed!

2005-09-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * icall.c (assembly_icalls): Removed some unused debugger icalls.

2005-09-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        InternalFromBase64String to control whether a whitespace-only string

          Hack done with Harinath.

2005-08-18 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

2005-07-19  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        There were issues when multiple threads tried to load
        assemblies. A deadlock was created between assemblies_mutex and
        mono_domain_assemblies_lock. This fixes the issue by making the
        assembly ref counting be lock free. See bug 75586.
        
        * image.c (mono_image_close): The add ref function here was using
        Interlocked operations while the unref was using a mutex and a
        --. I don't think this was ever a bug that would be exposed in a
        non-pendantic way (ie, by an embedder doing a ref on one thread
        and an unref on another), but for the sake of correctness, this is
        now Interlocked.

        * assembly.c (mono_assembly_addref): Use InterlockedIncrement
        (mono_assembly_load_reference): Call mono_assembly_addref rather
        than touching the refcount ourselves.
        (mono_assembly_close): Use InterlockedDecrement to unref the
        assembly. Don't acquire the lock unless it is actually needed.

        appdomains using threadpools to be unloaded.

2005-07-07  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class-internals.h
        (MonoInflatedGenericClass): Moved the `MonoType *parent' field
        into `MonoDynamicGenericClass' since we only need it for dynamic
        types.

        all the methods.
        (mono_class_create_generic): Make this static and merge it with
        mono_class_create_generic_2(); we're now called automatically from
        mono_get_inflated_generic_class().

        * loader.c (mono_method_signature): Call
        mono_get_inflated_method() here.

2005-06-20 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * domain.c:
        * appdomain.c:
        * domain-internals.h:
        * reflection.c: 'domain_assemblies' field is now protected by its own
        lock. Don't call into managed code to run the AssemblyLoad event if we
        now there are no registered delegates for it.

2005-06-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_is_assignable_from): Use a custom version of
        mono_class_has_parent() to make things work for generic instances;
        fix #75300.

2005-06-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * loader.c (method_from_methodspec): Apply a patch from
        Kamil Skalski <nazgul@nemerle.org> to fix #75296.

2005-06-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_init): Reverted Zoltan's last change; it
        breaks generics.

2005-06-19  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * threads.c (wait_for_tids_or_state_change): Add missing locking.

2005-06-18 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * socket-io.c: fix the index in the socket array for writable/error
        sockets. Fixes bug #75306.

2005-06-17  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

2005-06-17  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * loader.c (method_from_methodspec): Use `context->container' when
        parsing the `gmethod->inst'.

2005-06-17  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.c (mono_type_get_name_recurse): Don't add the assembly
        name for type arguments.

2005-06-15  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c (mono_image_get_inflated_method_token): Encode
        correct klass; fixes #75260.

2005-06-13 Michal Moskal <malekith@nemerle.org>

        * icall.c: Make GetCorrespondingMethod/Constructor take
        MonoReflectionMethod method not MonoMethod. Removed
        MonoType.GetCorrespondingField, and make
        MonoGenericType.GetCorrespondingField take name not
        MonoClassField.

2005-06-13  Michal Moskal <malekith@nemerle.org>

        * reflection.c (field_encode_signature, encode_locals):
         Make sizes of buffers for types larger (for big generic types).
         (create_generic_typespec,
         mono_reflection_sighelper_get_signature_local,
         mono_reflection_sighelper_get_signature_field):
         Add asserts for too small buffers.

2005-06-15  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_MonoGenericClass_GetParentType): Return NULL
        if our parent is not a dynamic type.

2005-06-15  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class-internals.h (MonoTypeNameFormat): New enum.

        * class.c
        (mono_class_get_name_full): Renamed to mono_type_get_name_full().
        (mono_type_get_full_name): Removed.
        (mono_type_get_name_full): Take a `MonoTypeNameFormat format'
        argument instead of the boolean's.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_MonoType_getFullName):
        Added `gboolean assembly_qualified'.    

        * reflection.h
        (MonoTypeNameParse): Added `GPtrArray *type_arguments'.

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_parse_type): Parse the new type
        name format.

2005-06-12 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: no need to convert from utf16 to utf8 and then back again
        after the call to GetLogicalDrives.

2005-06-10 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: frombase64. Fix problems exposed by new tests.

2005-06-10 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: added internal calls for converting char [] and strings in
        base64 into byte [].

2005-06-10  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_create_generic_2): Read the nested classes
        from the metadata rather than from `gklass->nested_classes' since
        `gklass' might not be initialized yet.

2005-06-09  Duncan Mak  <duncan@novell.com>

        * *.h: Added G_BEGIN_DECLS and G_END_DECLS where appropriate to
        all public headers. Fixes #74919.

2005-06-09  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@novell.com>

        * domain.c: The key for proxy_vtable_hash is now a pointer
        array. Added new GHashFunc and GCompareFunc functions for this.

        * class.h: The list of interfaces in MonoRemoteClass is known in
        advance and can't grow (we create a new MonoRemoteClass if needed),
        so now the interface array can be allocated together with
        MonoRemoteClass.
        
        * object.c: Added a new method create_remote_class_key.
        Fixed mono_remote_class so it does not depend on
        mono_upgrade_remote_class.
        Removed extend_interface_array.
        Added new method clone_remote_class(), which makes a copy of a remote
        class and adds a new interface or class to it.
        mono_upgrade_remote_class() now creates a new remote class (or gets
        it from the cache) if an vtable upgrade is needed. In this way
        we make sure that other objects sharing the same remote class
        don't get the new vtable with unwanted interfaces.
        
        * object-internals.h:
        * object.h: Moved mono_upgrade_remote_class to object-internals.h.
        
        * marshal.c: Track changes in mono_upgrade_remote_class().

2005-06-08  Kamil Skalski <nazgul@nemerle.org>
        * icall.c: Add runtime methods for obtaining members of inflated
        class, which were created from supplied non-inflated members. It
        is used in internal Get{Method,Constructor,Field} methods in
        System.Type

2005-06-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        Fix #75136.

        * loader.c
        (mono_method_signature_full): New public method; takes a
        `MonoGenericContext *'.
        (find_method): Use mono_method_signature_full() and pass the
        klass'es context to it.

        * class.c (mono_class_is_inflated_method): Use
        mono_method_signature_full() and pass the context to it.

Wed Jun 8 19:26:38 CEST 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.c: add proper locking in mono_remote_class_vtable(),

        initialized after initialization.

2005-06-08  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * locales.c : hush.

2005-06-07  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * reflection.c: Functions added to support the creation
        of CustomAttributeData, which includes Attribute data
        used by ReflectionOnly methods.

        * reflection.h:  mono_reflection_get_custom_attrs_data and
         mono_custom_attrs_data_construct added (functions exposed).

         * icall.c: Added mono_reflection_get_custom_attrs_data
         as icall.
        
2005-06-07  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Makefile.am (libmonoruntime_la_SOURCES): Revert last change at
        lupus's request.

2005-06-06  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_Mono_Runtime_GetDisplayName): Fix warning.

        * reflection.c (reflection_methodbuilder_to_mono_method): Fix encoding of
        dynamic DllImportAttribute.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_MonoMethod_GetDllImportAttribute): Fix decoding of 
        dynamic DllImportAttribute.

        * Makefile.am (libmonoruntimeinclude_HEADERS): Export tabledefs.h too.
        Fixes #75162.

2005-06-05 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threads.c: avoid segfault when an unstarted thread is aborted.

2005-06-05  Kornél Pál <kornelpal@hotmail.com>

        * icall.c: Added ves_icall_Mono_Runtime_GetDisplayName:
        Returns the name and version of the runtime for reporting.

2005-06-04 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c: bump corlib version.
        * object-internals.h: new field in MonoReflectionAssembly.

2005-06-03 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * object-internals.h: Carlos forgot to add this field.

2005-06-03  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * icall.c: Added create_version to create instances
        of Version of MonoReflectionAssemblyName. This change helps
        the AssemblyName tests to keep running fine.
        
2005-06-03  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@novell.com>
  
        * object.c (mono_method_return_message_restore): A somehow less
        intrusive fix for #75138.

2005-06-03  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * object.c (mono_method_return_message_restore): Fix computation
        of expected number of out args.

2005-06-02  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * reflection.c (mono_image_get_method_info): Fix the case when the
        charset is empty.

2005-06-02  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@novell.com> 

        * object.c: Added missing null check in
          mono_method_return_message_restore.

2005-06-02  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * reflection.c (mono_image_get_method_info): Handle the case when
        dllentry is empty.

2005-06-02  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@novell.com>

        * object.c: When creating the vtable for a proxy, take into account
        all inherited interfaces, not only the ones registered in
        iclass->interfaces. This fixs bug #74996.
        Also, in mono_method_return_message_restore, verify that the array
        of out args has the expected lengh.

2005-06-02 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * socket-io.c: update the timeout in Poll when the call is interrupte.

2005-06-02 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * socket-io.c: support abort/suspend in Select_internal after last
        change.

2005-06-02 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: remove warning.

2005-06-01 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c:
        * socket-io.[ch]: Select_internal uses poll() now when available, thus
        removing the 1024 limit from select(). Runtime part of the fix for
        bug #71203.

2005-05-30 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * socket-io.c: when resolving the addresses for the same
        host returned by gethostname(), get the local IPs from the interface
        list. Loopback addresses are discarded if the are interfaces up with
        non-loopback ones. Fixes bug #63265.

2005-05-27  Vladimir Vukicevic  <vladimir@pobox.com>

        * appdomain.c, verify.c, object-internals.h, reflection.c:
        bumped corlib number to 36, and added new extra_flags field
        to ReflectionMethodBuilder and friends.  Fixes #75060.

Fri May 27 14:45:56 CEST 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * gc.c: register a new weak link only if the object is non-null
        (fixes bug#75047).

2005-05-26  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * culture-info.h : short time pattern too.

2005-05-26  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * culture-info.h : expand long time pattern string length.

2005-05-25  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * culture-info-table.h : update (more French date format; #72788).

2005-05-25  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_InternalInvoke): Avoid type checks on this if
        the method is static. Fixes #75029.

2005-05-25  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@novell.com>

        * reflection.c: Update the table_idx field of method builders after
        saving the module, since it can change. This is a workaround for
        bug #74914. 

2005-05-25  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * culture-info-table.h : update (additional French date format).

        MonoDefaults structure.
        * domain.c: Cache System.Threading.ExecutionContext class in 
        mono_defaults.
        * object.c: Capture the ExecutionContext for asynchroneous calls in
         mono_async_result_new.
        * object-internals.h: Added execution_context and original_context 
        fields to MonoAsyncResult. Added execution_context to MonoThread.
        * security-manager.c|.h: Added mono_get_context_capture_method to 
        return the capture method (if required by the security manager or by
        the framework version used).
        * threadpool.c: Apply capture (if present) ExecutionContext in 
        mono_async_invoke and revert to original context after it completes.

2005-05-19  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * culture-info-table.h : updated (real hacky solution for zh-CHT).

2005-05-18  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * culture-info-table.h : zh-CHT related workaround.

2005-05-12  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * marshal.c (emit_marshal_custom): Add some error checking and call the
        methods in the ICustomMarshaler interface. Fixes #74875.
        
        * marshal.c (emit_marshal_array): Implement [Out] marshalling in
        native->managed wrappers.

2005-05-12  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.cs (mono_debugger_lock/unlock): Always lock
        here and use the loader lock.

        * mono-debug.c: Properly lock when the debugger is not attached.
        (mono_debug_init): Release the initial lock if we're not running
        in the debugger.

2005-05-12  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * marshal.c (emit_marshal_custom): Pass through NULL values without
        calling the custom marshalling routines.

        * marshal.c (emit_ptr_to_object_conv): Implement ftnptr->delegate
        conversion in structures. Fixes #74882.

2005-05-12  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * culture-info-table.h : zh-* cultures were missing.

2005-05-12  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@novell.com>

        * threads.c: Added a new event background_change_event which is signaled
        when a thread changes its background mode.
        Moved here several checks previously done in managed code. The checks
        require the thread lock, and using the thread lock in managed code
        can result in deadlocks.
        Merged Start_internal and Thread_internal into a single method. Now 
        Thread_internal does all work of creating and starting a thread.
        Added icalls for setting and getting the state of the object. Moved from
        managed code to avoid locking there.
        Added wait_for_tids_or_state_change() which is called instad of
        wait_for_tids when waiting for non-backround threads to end. This method
        will return if one of the threads ends or the background_change_event
        is signaled.
        * threadpool.c: use ves_icall_System_Threading_Thread_SetState() to set
        the background mode. This method signals the background_change_event
        event.
        * icall.c:
        * threads-types.h: Added icalls for ClrState, SetState and GetState, and
        removed Start_internal.
        
2005-05-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug.h (MonoSymbolTable, MonoDebugMethodAddress): Changed
        to order of some fields to get proper alignment on 64-bit machines.

2005-05-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug.c, mono-debug-debugger.c: Revert Paolo's locking
        changes as they're broken and completely fuck up the debugger.

        * mono-debug.c (mono_debug_add_method): Properly unlock on error.

2005-05-10  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_generic_class_initialize): Don't
        call mono_class_setup_parent() here.

2005-05-07 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * metadata/socket-io.c: on windows, getsockopt/setsockopt for
        send/receive timeout use an integer in milliseconds. We were using a
        struct timeval.

2005-05-06 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * locales.c:
        (internal_get_cultures): reserve the first slot of the array for the
        InvariantCulture, which will be filled in managed code.

2005-05-06  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * reflection.c (mono_image_fill_module_table): Initialize the
        GENERATION field as well.

2005-05-05 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * monitor.c: ignore calls to Monitor.Exit even if no one ever called
        Monitor.Enter on the object.

2005-05-05  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@novell.com>

        * threads.c: Enable the wait for running threads when exiting.
        * icall.c: Suspend all threads before exiting.

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

        * assembly.c (mono_assembly_load_reference): Fix warning.

2005-05-04 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: changed the default number of threads per cpu. From now
        on, the default will be 20 + (5 * number of cpus) instead of 50.

2005-05-04  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * loader.c (mono_method_get_signature_full): Add locking here.

2005-05-03  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@novell.com>

        * appdomain.c: Moved methods for parsing and freeing assembly
        names to assembly.c.
        * assembly.c, domain-internals.h: Created public methods for parsing
        assembly names. Fixed mono_assembly_load_with_partial_name:
        it now finds the best match, taking into account the version,
        token and culture specified in the partial name. Also return
        the latest version if no version information is specified.

Mon May 2 15:47:57 CEST 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: replace check for SocketAsyncCall class.

2005-05-02 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threadpool-internals.h:
        * Makefile.am: added threadpool-internals.h

        * threadpool.c: call mono_unhandled_exception on exceptions not handled
        that happen in threadpool threads (tested on MS).
        (mono_thread_pool_remove_socket): new function that dispatch any pending
        AIO call on a socket that is closing. By now only epoll really needs it,
        as select/poll wake up when the socket closes.


        * socket-io.c: call mono_thread_pool_remove_socket in Close_internal.

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

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_managed_wrapper): Handle changing the calling convention.

2005-05-01  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@novell.com>

2005-04-30  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@novell.com>

        * threads.c: In mono_thread_suspend_all_other_threads, if a thread
        has an abort request, convert it into a suspend request.

2005-04-30  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_managed_wrapper): give a friendly
        warning for the usage of `UnmanagedFunctionPointerAttribute' which
        is not supported yet.

2005-04-29 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * image.c: register assemblies loaded from data (bundles) in the loaded
        assemblies hash. Fixes bug #74772.

2005-04-29  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.c (mono_type_get_name_recurse): Update to the new naming
        schema from the latest .NET 2.x beta2.
        (mono_class_setup_vtable_general): If we're a generic instance,
        copy the vtable from our generic type definition and inflate all
        the methods in it.

        * loader.c (find_method): Update to the new naming schema from the
        latest .NET 2.x beta2.

2005-04-29  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@gmail.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_init): Add a mono_loader_unlock to the
        #74734 fix.

2005-04-28  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Environment_Exit): Remove the 
        suspend_all_other_threads () call for the time being, since it can hang.

        * threads.c (mono_thread_manage): Similarly, disable the waiting for
        the background threads to exit, since it can also hang.

        * class.c (mono_class_init): Applied patch from Ankit Jain 
        (radical@gmail.com). Avoid pending init errors when a field refers
        to a nested class using a typeref. Fixes #74734.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Reflection_Assembly_GetModulesInternal): Fix
        this for dynamic modules.

2005-04-27 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threads.c: don't wait for threads that are in the process of aborting
        or aborted. Set the 'shutting_down' flag before cleaning the threadpool
        and waiting for background threads to finish. This makes xsp and
        mod-mono-server exit without random length delays and/or hangs.

2005-04-27 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: remove duplicate assignment from GetReferencedAssemblies.

2005-04-25  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * class.c (mono_class_is_assignable_from): Call is_assignable_to for
        dynamic types to prevent infinite loops. Fixes #74727.

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_call_is_assignable_from): Rename to
        ..._is_assignable_to.

2005-04-25  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * security.c: Fixed #74698 where sysconf returned -1 on FreeBSD.

2005-04-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        Upgrade to the latest .NET 2.x beta (Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2).

        * domain.c
        (supported_runtimes): Change "v2.0.40607" -> "v2.0.50215".

        * row-indexes.h (MONO_GENERICPARAM_KIND): Removed.

        * reflection.c (build_compressed_metadata): Set metadata header
        version to 2.0.

2005-04-23  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * sysmath.c (ves_icall_System_Math_Round2): Use modf to decompose the
        number into an integral and a decimal part. Fixes #70473.

        * marshal.c (ves_icall_System_Runtime_InteropServices_Marshal_OffsetOf): Ignore static fields. Fixes #74703.

2005-04-23  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * culture-info-table.h : reflected the latest locale-builder output.

2005-04-23 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: check for SuspendRequested too when deciding if
        mono_thread_interruption_checkpoint should be called.

2005-04-23 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.[ch]: added function to set the shutting_down flag to TRUE.
        * threads.c: remove interruption_mutex and use Interlocked instead. When
        suspending all the threads, wait for all the suspended events at once.
        If we're shutting down and get an APC that is going to be queued,
        call mono_thread_execute_interruption immediately, as the thread might
        be sleeping on a pthread condition or mutex.

        * icall.c: call mono_runtime_set_shutting_down before suspending the
        threads.

        Fixes bug #74693. And now xsp is happier when exiting.

2005-04-22  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * loader.c (mono_stack_walk): Fix #74690.

2005-04-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug.h (MonoDebugMethodJitInfo): Added
        `MonoDebugMethodJitInfo *jit'.

        * mono-debug.c (mono_debug_read_method): Cache the
        MonoDebugMethodJitInfo in `address->jit'.
        (mono_debug_free_method_jit_info): New public method.

2005-04-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_is_assignable_from): Disallow
        type parameter -> interface.

2005-04-21  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c (mono_thread_create): Turn an assertion into an error.

2005-04-20  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * threads.c object.c icall.c: Fix some gcc 4.0 warnings.
        
        * threads.c marshal.h marshal.c exceptions.h exceptions.c appdomain.c: 
        Fix some gcc 4.0 warnings.

Wed Apr 20 16:09:06 CEST 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * file-io.c: fix alt dir separator char on unix systems
        and cleanup (fixes bug #71214).

2005-04-19  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@novell.com>

        * marshal.c: Use CALLVIRT instead of CALL when dispatching
        a call to a remote domain, since the method may be an
        interface method in the client domain. This fixes bug #74192.

2005-04-17 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: recv/send are now performed before going back to managed
        code to save one transition.

2005-04-16 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * metadata/socket-io.c: fixed semantics in Socket.Blocking icall.

        * metadata/threadpool.c: removed hack to workaround the bug above.

        Fixes bug #74618.

2005-04-16  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * reflection.c reflection.h: Fix handling of parameter defaults in
        dynamic methods. Also fixes handling of parameter attributes.
        Fixes #74609.

        * mono-debug.c (mono_debug_close_image): Fix warning.

2005-04-15 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * socket-io.h: replaced old unused field with new 'blocking'.
        * threadpool.c: restore socket blocking state on windows(tm).

2005-04-14  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: don't return the codebase in the AssemblyName[] returned by
        ves_icall_System_Reflection_Assembly_GetReferencedAssemblies.
        * object-internals.h: Removed FIXME (fields were presents) and fixed
        versioncompat declaration.

2005-04-14 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: sometimes we get EBADF from epoll but the epollfd is
        not closed, so don't cleanup when it happens.

2005-04-13  Chris Toshok  <toshok@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.h: change prototype for
        mono_debugger_lookup_type.

        * mono-debug-debugger.c (mono_debugger_lookup_type): reinstate
        this function, although it should probably be named
        mono_debugger_init_type.

2005-04-13 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: fix non-AIO case.

2005-04-13  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * profiler.c (mono_profiler_install_simple): Add a 'jit' option to
        the built-in profiler to measure just JIT compilation times.

2005-04-13 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: the epollfd might be closed by another thread at
        any time, so ignore EBADF at treat it as a "we're closing" sign.

2005-04-13 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: release the semaphores with a count equals to the number
        of working threads in both IO and regular pools. Fixed typo that messed
        up the count of IO pool threads. Don't initialize the pipe handles if
        we're using epoll.

2005-04-13 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: some systems don't like a NULL when deleting the socket
        from epoll.

2005-04-13 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: fix semaphore allocation.

2005-04-12 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: added epoll() based implementation for asynchronous IO
        that is used instead of the default poll() when available.
        It can be disabled by setting MONO_DISABLE_AIO.

2005-04-12 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: windows needs 'closesocket' and instead of returning
        0 when the stream is closed while in select, it returns -1. Fixes bug
        #74573.

2005-04-12  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * class.c (class_compute_field_layout): Fix the regression caused by
        the previous try.

2005-04-12 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: separate pool for socket async. IO.
        * threadpool.h: mono_max_worker_threads is not a global any more.

2005-04-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * class.c (class_compute_field_layout): Fix #74549.

2005-04-08 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: select() on windows doesn't allow pipe handles, soooo
        use 2 connected sockets instead.

2005-04-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * mono-config.c: Add new entry point for mkbundle
        mono_config_parse_memory. 

2005-04-08 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: removed another unused function.

2005-04-08  Ankit Jain  <radical@corewars.org>

        * reflection.c (get_default_param_value_blobs): Add 'types'
        parameter to get the types encoded in the constant table.
        (mono_param_get_objects): Use the type from the constant table,
        not the type of the parameter, when creating default values.
        Handle null default values correctly.

2005-04-07 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * file-io.c:
        * file-io.h:
        * threadpool.c:
        * threadpool.h:
        * icall.c:
        * socket-io.c: removed dead code for async IO.

2005-04-07 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * socket-io.h: 2 more fields in MonoSocketAsyncResult.

        * threadpool.c: intercept socket async. calls and pass them to a thread
        that is polling and dispatching the job items to the threadpool as
        socket become ready. Fixes bugs #71217, #71933.

        * icall.c: Removed AsyncReceive and AsyncSend. Speed up for copies
        between char and short/ushort arrays.

        * socket-io.c: remove dead code.

2005-04-06  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * locales.c,
          icall.c : removed InternalToUpper_Comp() and
          InternalToLower_Comp().

2005-04-06  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * char-conversions.h : The tables were incorrectly generated. Should
          be generated against invariant culture.

2005-04-04  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * object.c (mono_runtime_invoke_array): Fix return value when 
        passing pre-created valuetype objects to ctors.

        * gc.c (mono_gchandle_is_in_domain): Applied patch from Jon Larimer 
        (jlarimer@gmail.com). Avoid crashes when the wrapper object is null.
        Fixes #74338.

2005-03-30  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * domain.c: removed g_assert for runtimesecurityframe_class. This is 
        only used with --security and hides the wrong corlib version error.

2005-03-30  Joshua Tauberer  <tauberer@for.net>

        * class.c: Changed mono_class_name_from_token so that types
        outside of a namespace don't have an initial period.  Improved
        the g_warning message used in _mono_class_get when loading
        fails.
        * assembly.c: In mono_assembly_load_reference, when an assembly
        can't be found, "No such file or directory" is misleading and
        unhelpful because a few paths were checked for the presence of
        the assembly.  When that happens (ENOENT), display a nicer
        message indicating the directories that were searched.  In all
        cases, the warning is made easier to read for non-hackers.

2005-03-29  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c: Set MONO_ASSEMBLIES to NULL when compiling from a VS.NET
        project/solution.
        * appdomain.h|domain.c: Removed inline from functions.
        * appdomain.c: Reduced warnings when compiling on windows.
        * icall.c: Fixed output_debug declaration to gunichar2*.
        * mono-config.c: Reduced warnings when compiling on windows.
        * rand.c: Added missing "windows.h". Added missing return value.
        * rawbuffer.c: Added missing winsock2.h for windows.
        * sysmath.h: Added mono-compiler.h header to allow/ease 
        compilation with non-GCC compilers.
        * threads.c: Fixed declarations to compile with VS.NET C compiler.
        Removed cast warnings.

        Adapted from the work of J Lothian (for VC6).

2005-03-29  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * assembly.c (mono_assembly_load_corlib): Do not try loading corlib
        from default_path.

2005-03-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_managed_wrapper): Fix bogus assert on
        the 2.0 profile.

2005-03-27  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@gmail.com>

        * Makefile.am (assembliesdir): Fix.  If it is arch-dependent it
        has to be in $(exec_prefix).  $(prefix) is for arch-independent
        stuff, and it would probably use $(prefix)/share rather than
        $(prefix)/lib.

2005-03-24 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * console-io.c: added 2 includes that might be missing.

2005-03-24  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_managed_wrapper): Fix crashes in 2.0
        profile.

        * reflection.c (create_custom_attr): Allocate the params array using
        alloca so it gets GC tracking.

2005-03-23  Chris Toshok  <toshok@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.c (mono_debugger_runtime_invoke): comment
        out some spew.

2005-03-24  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * Makefile.am (assembly.lo, mono-config.lo): Rebuild when Makefile
        changes to pick up any changes in prefix, etc.

2005-03-23  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_managed_wrapper): Remove fixme.
        
        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_managed_wrapper): Remove debugging output.
        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_managed_wrapper): Add support for the modopt(CallConvCdecl).

2005-03-23  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * class-internals.h object-internals.h class.c reflection.c: Extend the
        mono_lookup_dynamic_token () function to return the class of the
        token as well. 

        * class.c (mono_ldtoken): Handle MEMBERREFS in the dynamic case as
        well. Fixes #73848.

2005-03-23  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * security-manager.c: Skip inheritance checks for intra-corlib
        class inheritance and method overrides. This skips a lot of checks
        and (anyway) permissions cannot work until corlib is loaded.

2005-03-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_stfld_wrapper): Add support for
        MONO_TYPE_GENERICINST.  

2005-03-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c (mono_type_to_unmanaged): Add MONO_TYPE_GENERICINST.

Tue Mar 22 16:57:01 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: added locking comments to some functions.
        Cache the interface offsets arrays (saves about 20 KB
        of runtime memory in a typical app).
        Reduce the time overhead in mono_class_setup_supertypes ().

Tue Mar 22 16:35:57 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: speedup and fix leaks in GetMethodsByName and
        GetPropertiesByName.

        suppressunmanagedcodesecurity class to MonoSecurityManager.
        Renamed aptc class to allowpartiallytrustedcallers.

2005-03-17  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.c (inflate_generic_type): Add MONO_TYPE_ARRAY.

2005-03-16 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * file-io.c: disabled file async. IO using aio_*. It uses the
        threadpool now. Workaround for bug #73718.

Wed Mar 16 18:08:00 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * assembly.h, mono-config.c: added code to deal with bundled configs
        for bundled assemblies.

Wed Mar 16 16:34:38 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * *.c, private.h: cleanup, removing old private.h header file.

2005-03-16  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * reflection.c (mono_image_get_method_info): Encode best_fit_mapping
        and throw_on_unmappable_char attributes.

        #73631.

        * icall.c threads.c threads-types.h: Remove slothash icalls as they
        are no longer used.

2005-03-11  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * object.c (compute_class_bitmap): Add support for generics. Fixes
        #73527.

2005-03-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_create_runtime_class): Fix 2.0 build.

2005-03-10 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * filewatcher.c: commented out the code for windows watcher, as we don't
        use it (we use the managed implementation instead).

2005-03-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * object-internals.h (MonoThread): Remove 'unused1' field.

        * appdomain.c: Bump corlib version.

        * marshal.c: Remove calls to Reset/RestoreDataStoreStatus ().

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_create_runtime_class): Remove the
        AssemblyBuilder.Save optimization since it causes too many problems.

2005-03-10  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * exception.c|h: Added mono_get_exception_reflection_type_load to
        create a ReflectionTypeLoadException object.
        * icall.c: Updated ves_icall_System_Reflection_Assembly_InternalGetType
        to return NULL is a InheritanceDemand fails during reflection. Updated
        ves_icall_System_Reflection_Assembly_GetTypes to throw a 
        ReflectionTypeLoadException if an InheritanceDemand fails during 
        reflection. Added icall mapping for GetLinkDemandSecurity.
        * security-manager.c|h: Added ves_icall_System_Security_
        SecurityManager_GetLinkDemandSecurity internal call to return the

        function.

2005-03-04  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * object.c (mono_load_remote_field_new): Fix returning uninitialized
        memory when the remoting callback does not sets the out arguments.

        local vars use the fast access mode (even when we're compiled in
        a lib). Provide accessors to be used by the jit during codegen.

2005-02-24  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * appdomain.c: Changed hook functios behavior to include
        support for the reflection only assemblies. Some icalls were changed
        to support the mentioned assemblies too. Signatures of static methods
        try_assembly_resolve and real_load now have an additional parameter:
        refonly.

        * assembly.c: General changes to mono_assembly_ methods to support
        reflection only api. Functions mono_assembly_open, mono_assembly_load,
        mono_assembly_load_from and mono_assembly_loaded have got a '_full'
        suffix, to support an additional gbool parameter to specify whether
        the assembli is reflection only or not. Created some new hook functions 
        to add support for reflection only assemblies. Signatures of static 
        methods load_in_path, search_loaded, and mono_assembly_load_from_gac 
        have now an additional parameter: refonly.

        * metadata-internals.h: MonoAssembly now has a gbool ref_only flag,
        indicating whether the assembly is reflection only or not.

        * exception.c: Add mono_get_exception_invalid_operation.

        * icall.c: Throw an InvalidOperationException when trying to invoke
        a property/method/event, or trying to set/get the value of a field.
        Also add an icall to retrieve the ref_only flag to the
        MonoReflectionAssembly.

2005-02-23  Chris Toshok  <toshok@ximian.com>

        Part of fix for #72827.
        * mono-debug.c (mono_debug_add_method): add lexical block data to
        the info we write.  Kind of a hack at the moment - we copy the
        lexical block info from the MonoDebugMethodInfo to the
        MonoDebugMethodJitInfo here, before writing it.
        (mono_debug_read_method): read the lexical block info.

        * mono-debug.h (_MonoDebugMethodJitInfo): add lexical block slots.

        * debug-mono-symfile.h: add lexical block support.

        * debug-mono-symfile.c (mono_debug_find_method): add lexical block
        support.

        dynamic methods.

Wed Feb 23 18:54:26 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: properly flag a Type argument to a
        named custom attr value (bug #72248).

Wed Feb 23 18:32:35 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: reduce code duplication in named custom
        attribute encoding.

Wed Feb 23 17:23:52 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: properly encode custom attrs of type object
        (bug #72649).

2005-02-23  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

2005-02-21  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_runtime_invoke): Add support for
        generic instances.

2005-02-21  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c (mono_image_build_metadata): We also need to
        "fixup" the MethodImpl table after we computed the final method
        indices.  Call fixup_methodimpl() to do that.
        (fixup_methodimpl): New private method.

Mon Feb 21 16:17:14 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c: special case mscorlib.dll (bug#72536),
        patch from Carlos Alberto Cortez.

2005-02-20  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * threads-types.h threads.c: Fix build bustage.

        * threads.c: Use a union for long<->double conversions.

        * threads-types.h threads.c icall.c: Implement the net 2.0 interlocked
        functions based on a patch by Luca Barbieri (luca.barbieri@gmail.com).

        * marshal.c (emit_thread_interrupt_checkpoint_call): Mark the bblock 
        containing the checkpoint call with NOT_TAKEN.
        
        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_managed_wrapper): Emit interrupt 
        checkpoint before pushing the arguments, so they won't have to be
        spilled to stack.

Sat Feb 19 15:19:46 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * domain.c, assembly.c, domain-internals.h: make some data
        const and relocation-free.

Sat Feb 19 11:12:34 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.c, appdomain.c, class-internals.h: introduce the
        MonoClassRuntimeInfo structure to hold the info needed to
        use a class at runtime. Made mono_class_vtable() lock-free
        for all the appdomains.

Sat Feb 19 11:11:12 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata-internals.h, image.c: introduce a per-image mempool to
        be used for memory that has the same lifetime as the image.

2005-02-18  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@novell.com>

        * domain.c: In mono_init_internal(), instead of selecting the first
        runtime version supported by an executable, get a list of all
        supported versions and select the one for which an mscorlib exists
        (since even if the runtime supports a given version, it doesn't mean
        that the framework for that version is installed).
        Modified get_runtimes_from_exe to support this behavior.
        In supported_runtimes, added information about additional system
        assembly versions.
        
        * assembly.c: Added support for more than one system assembly version
        per runtime version. Updated the assembly list.
        In mono_assembly_remap_version, removed the initial version check,
        since we don't know to which version we need to compare until we
        get the version set on which the assembly is based.
        Moved the code for loading corlib into the new method
        mono_assembly_load_corlib(), so it can be used by the initialization
        code.
        
        * domain-internals.h: Updated data structures and added declaration
        for mono_assembly_load_corlib.

2005-02-17  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>
 
        * class.c: Added inheritance check when a method is overloaded (from a
        virtual method or when implementing an interface) and when a class is
        inherited. Added functions to set a failure for a class and to 
        retreive the exception from a failure.
        * class-internals.h: Added fields to MonoClass to keep the exception
        information status for inheritance (or other exceptions) to be thrown
        later (i.e. not at load time).
        * object.c: Throw the inheritance SecurityException when a type is to 
        be created with either class or method inheritance violations.
        * reflection.c|h: Fix when getting declsec from a class. Removed 
        unrequired code for class. Improved sanity in parameter naming.
        * security-manager.c|h: Added functions to check for class and method
        inheritance.

2005-02-17  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_create_runtime_class): Set has_cctor
        and has_finalize in dynamic types as well.

2005-02-17  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

Wed Feb 16 16:28:15 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * gc.c: ensure the GC handles never have 0 as a value.

2005-02-16  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * marshal.c (emit_marshal_ptr): Raise an exception if trying to pass
        a pointer to a struct to unmanaged code. Fixes #72625.

        * loader.c (mono_lookup_pinvoke_call): Fix stdcall name mangling.

        * marshal.c (mono_ftnptr_to_delegate): If the delegate has the 
        UnmanagedFunctionPointerAttribute, use it for determining calling convention
        etc. Fixes #71471.

        * reflection.c (mono_custom_attrs_get_attr): New helper function.

        * object-internals.h: Add MonoReflectionUnmanagedFunctionPointerAttribute.

Tue Feb 15 18:03:41 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        in by mistake.

Mon Feb 14 16:48:24 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * domain.c: keep the domains in an array and ensure the domain ids
        are kept small, so they can be used as indexes to domain-specific data
        with a small memory overhead.

2005-02-14  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * icall.c: Handle byref types in Type icalls. Fixes #72544.

        values.

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_string_encoding): CHAR_SET_AUTO means Unicode on windows.

        (fixes bug#72494).

2005-02-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug.c (DATA_TABLE_CHUNK_SIZE): Increase to 131072.
        (mono_debug_add_method): Silently ignore the method if it's too big.
        (mono_debug_add_type): Likewise.

        * threads.c, appdomain.c: remove #ifdefs from the code.

2005-02-10  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * metadata-internals.h: Added flags to MonoAssembly to cache the most
        common security informations. This allows us to stay in unmanaged code
        when doing LinkDemand and it's special cases (except for the first 
        time for initialization). The flags a very much used with --security.
        * reflection.c|h: Added code to get declarative security attributes 
        for LinkDemand and InheritanceDemand. This required to refactor the
        existing code for Demand.
        * security-manager.c|h: Added new method fields for the special cases
        of LinkDemand.

2005-02-10  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug.c, mono-debug-debugger.c: Completely reworked the
        debugging code; this is almost a complete rewrite.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_MonoDebugger_GetMethodIndex): New interncall.

Thu Feb 10 15:19:01 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * domain.c, object.h: expose mono_string_equal () and 
        mono_string_hash ().
        * icall.c, string-icalls.c: remove the string.GetHashCode () icall,
        it's implemented in managed code.

Thu Feb 10 15:03:46 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * icall.c, gc.c, gc-internal.h: make sure gchandles can't be used
        lo leak objects between appdomains.

Wed Feb 9 19:34:29 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * image.c, metadata-internals.h: when loading an image from a file,
        mmap all of it and use the same codepaths as when using a
        in-memory image: the code is simpler and we use less memory
        (both writable and readonly).

Wed Feb 9 18:32:51 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * gc-internal.h, null-gc.c, boehm-gc.c: added functions to the GC
        API to alloc runtime data structures that need to be tracked by the
        GC and contain pointers.
        * appdomain.c, threads.c, object.c, gc.c: use the above changes to

        if it has already been released. This fixes a crash in the
        thread5 test.

Tue Feb 8 19:02:59 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * gc.c, marshal.c, icall.c: register a delegate for finalization

Tue Feb 8 18:12:27 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.c: cleaned up some code, allocate objects that are

        for static data from the mempool if it's pointer-free.
        Allocate the bounds array at the end of the array data, when needed.

2005-02-07  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@novell.com>

        * domain.c, domain-internals.h: Moved RuntimeInfo to domain-internals.h,
        and renamed to MonoRuntimeInfo. Added fields to store the expected

        mono_get_runtime_version for a single mono_get_runtime_info method.
        
        * assembly.c: Added method to remap system assembly versions to the
        current executing runtime version. Removed old mapping code.
        Remap assembly versions in mono_assembly_load and mono_assembly_loaded.
        
        * icall.c, reflection.c: Track api changes.

        stdcall and charset name mangling.  Reorganize the code and add
        some tracing stuff.

2005-02-05  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * monodiet.c: More iters!

        * marshal.c: Iter usage.

        * icall.c: Iter usage.

        * appdomain.c, monitor.c, monitor.h, threads-types.h: made the
        MonoThreadsSync struct private in monitor.c. Changed the way
        MonoThreadsSync is allocated so it's faster and there is no
        need to keep track of it with a finalizer and it uses less memory.
        This also finally allows us to allocate mono objects as ptrfree when
        there are no reference fields.

        * class-internals.h marshal.c: Add two new wrappers, ldfld_remote and
        stfld_remote which call mono_load/store_field_new. This allows methods
        calling ldfld/stfld wrappers to be AOTed.

        * console-io.c: Include sys/filio.h under solaris.
        
        * console-io.c: Include curses.h if needed correctly.

        * console-io.c: <curses.h> is needed by term.h on solaris.

2005-02-03  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * icall.c, class-internals.h, monodiet.c, class.c: Remove
        mono_class_setup_properties where possible. Remove this ftn from

        * *: MonoMethod->signature might be NULL now. You *MUST* use
        mono_method_signature.

2005-01-29  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * object.c (mono_runtime_get_main_args): Return an array from the

        possible to add imperative security checks before calling the icall.
        * reflection.c: Return security attributes on the original MonoMethod
        (and not the wrapped one). This fix permissions on icalls.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_CurrentTimeZone_GetTimeZoneData): Make
        the check for mktime() support actually test the mktime() return

        to get the container.

        * loader.c (method_from_methodspec): Set `context->parent' from
        `context->container' - and if that's a method container, use its
        parent.  Also set the `context->container' when creating a new
        MonoGenericContext.
        (mono_get_method_from_token): Use just `context->container' to get
        the container.

        calling Unload is itself being aborted during unloading. Fixes #70022.

        * appdomain.h: Add prototype for mono_install_runtime_cleanup.

        * marshal.c (emit_thread_interrupt_checkpoint_call): Call 
        checkpoint_func as an icall so it gets a wrapper.

        in the cross-appdomain wrappers too.

        * threads.c (mono_thread_has_appdomain_ref): Make this public.

        (do_mono_metadata_parse_generic_class): Use the new
        mono_metadata_parse_generic_inst() for parsing the `gclass->inst'
        since this'll also use the cache.

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_bind_generic_method_parameters):
        Use mono_metadata_lookup_generic_inst() to use the new cache.

        * class.c (inflate_mono_type): Use
        mono_metadata_inflate_generic_inst() to inflate a generic
        instance; this'll also use the new cache.

        * loader.c (method_from_methodspec): Use
        mono_metadata_parse_generic_inst() and
        mono_metadata_inflate_generic_inst() rather than parsing it
        manually, so we can use the new cache.

2004-12-02  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * threads.c (wait_for_tids): Do not incorrectly free threads when 
        the wait times out.

        now known as "System.Reflection.MonoGenericClass".
        (monogenericinst_icalls): Renamed to monogenericclass_icalls.

2004-11-29  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * class-internals.h: Added a flag field to MonoClass to cache the
        declarative security attributes actions associated with the class.
        * domain-internals.h: Added booleans to MonoJitInfo to cache the
        (class or method level) stack modifiers (Assert, Deny and PermitOnly)
        applicable to the JITted method.
        * reflection.c|h: Added functions to extract (as flags) which security
        actions are available (declaratively) for a method, class or assembly.
        * metadata.c|h: Added functions to search the declarative security
        table in the metadata.
        
2004-11-29  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Reflection_Assembly_GetNamespaces):
        EXPORTEDTYPES are already in the class name cache, so there is no
        need to add extra code here to look at them. Just removes a bit of
        cruft.

        (ves_icall_System_Environment_get_TickCount): No need for #if
        WINDOWS. We already have the code in io-layer.

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

        * loader.c
        (method_from_methodspec): Also inflate the `gmethod->mtype_argv'.
        Fixes gen-112.cs.

2004-11-27  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c (do_mono_assembly_open): Instead of having a
        conditional WITH_BUNDLE, incorporate support for bundles here, by
        having a global `bundles' variable holding a pointer to the actual
        bundles. 

        (mono_register_bundled_assemblies): New API call used by the
        bundle code. 

        See mkbundle.1 for details.

        MonoGenericContainer each time we're called.
        (mono_reflection_bind_generic_method_parameters): Use

        different method if we're called several times with the same
        arguments.

        * loader.c (method_from_methodspec): Use the new
        `container->method_hash' here, too.

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

        * class.c (inflate_generic_signature): Correctly compute
        `res->has_type_parameters'.
        (mono_class_vtable): Use the `has_type_parameters' flag to
        determine whether we're a generic method.

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_parse_method_signature_full): Likewise.

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

        names. Fixes #69787.

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

        * class.c (mono_class_create_generic_2): If we don't have a
        `ginst->parent', inflate `gklass->parent' to get our parent.

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

        * reflection.c (compare_genericparam): Correctly sort the
        GenericParam table; fixes #69779.

2004-11-23  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: When writing a PE file, don't create a huge
        buffer in memory. Just write the arrays we have to the file.
        This reduces memory usage.

        * metadata-internals.h: MonoDynamicStream pefile is no longer used
        globally.

2004-11-17  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_init): Don't setup `class->parent' for
        dynamic instances; moved this to mono_class_generic_2().

        generic instances.
        (mono_class_create_generic_2): Don't do anything for dynamic
        generic instances.  Set `klass->parent' here and also call
        mono_class_setup_parent() here. 

        * reflection.c (do_mono_reflection_bind_generic_parameters): Added
        `MonoType *parent' argument; set `ginst->parent' before calling
        mono_class_create_generic_2(), so we set the correct parent.

Thu Nov 18 17:10:32 CET 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: allow getting attributes from ModuleBuilder
        (used by ikvm).

2004-11-17  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_create_from_typedef): If a type parameter is

        * icall.c: Added IsAuthenticodePresnet internal call.
        * image.c|h: New function that check a MonoImage for an Authenticode
        signature in the certificate PE data directory.
        * security.c|h: New internal call to ask the runtime if an 
        Authenticode signature seems referenced in the PE header.

2004-11-15  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_type_isprimitive): Native int is a primitive type.

        * reflection.c (mono_image_create_pefile): Free the assembly streams
        after writing out the assembly file.

        * object.c (mono_runtime_run_main): Fix small memory leak.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_Type_GetPropertiesByName): Add support for
        property access modifiers. Fixes #69389.

Mon Nov 15 11:54:22 CET 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * domain.c, object.c, object-internals.h, domain-internals.h,
        object.h, marshal.c: keep dynamic code info per domain.

2004-11-15  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.c (mono_type_get_name_recurse): Put type arguments in
        `[',`]' instead of in `<','>'.  Thanks to Atsushi for the patch,
        see bug #68387.

2004-11-15  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.c (mono_type_get_name_recurse): Added `include_ns' flag.
        (mono_class_setup_vtable): When computing `the_cname' for a
        generic instance, don't include the namespace since we'd otherwise
        add it twice.

2004-11-15  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_create_generic): Changed return type to void.
        (mono_class_create_generic_2): New public function; setup
        `class->method', `class->field' and `class->interfaces' here
        instead of in mono_class_init().

        * class.h (mono_class_create_generic): Moved to class-internals.h.

2004-11-14  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c (mono_image_create_pefile): take a file HANDLE.
        rather than writing to memory, write to this file. Right now,
        we are just writting into a buffer, and copying that. However
        we can avoid the buffer later.

        (mono_dynamic_stream_reset): new function

        * icall.c, object-internals.h: update for the above.

2004-11-13  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: Remove *_ATOMIC macros. We really shouldn't
        have been using gc'd memory. First it is slower, unlikely
        the comment in the source code said, secondly, it increases
        our footprint to do it in the gc.

        * icall.c (WriteToFile): rename of getDataChunk. Rewrite
        the method so that it does not have to copy to managed code.

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

        * loader.c (mono_method_get_header): Fix build for older glibs which does not define G_LIKELY.

2004-11-12  Martin Baulig  <martin@localhost>

        * reflection.c (mono_image_create_token): Allow generic method
        definitions here, since they may appear in an `.override'; see
        gen-98/gen-99 for an example.

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

        * icall.c (ves_icall_Type_GetField): Support BFLAGS_IgnoreCase. Fixes
        #69365.

        * marshal.c (mono_string_to_ansibstr): Make g_error messages more
        descriptive.

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

        * class.c (mono_class_setup_vtable): In an explicit interface
        implementation, the method name now includes the arity.

2004-11-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * object.c (mono_array_full_copy): Fix warning.

2004-11-10  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@novell.com>

        * appdomain.c: Removed look_for_method_by_name(). Use the new method
        mono_class_get_method_from_name() instead.
        
        * class-internals.h: Added two new types of wrappers. 
        Added MonoRemotingTarget enum. Added new trampoline function type, which
        takes an additional MonoRemotingTarget value as parameter, so it is
        possible to request a trampoline for a specific target.
        
        * class.c: Added new mono_class_get_method_from_name() method.
        
        * class.h: In MonoRemoteClass, we can have now to vtables, one for
        general remoting sinks and one specific for cross domain calls.
        
        * debug-helpers.c: Added new wrapper names.
        
        * icall.c: Use the new method mono_remote_class_vtable() to get the vtable
        of a remote class.
        
        * image.c: Porperly delete value objects form the remoting invoke hashtable.
        
        * marshal.c: Added mono_marshal_get_xappdomain_invoke(), which together
        with several other methods (mono_marshal_get_xappdomain_dispatch,
        mono_marshal_get_xappdomain_target, mono_marshal_get_serialize_exception,
        and others) can generate a fast remoting wrapper for cross domain calls.
        More information can be found in docs/remoting.
        Other changes: Removed mono_find_method_by_name, and used
        mono_class_get_method_from_name instead.
        Remoting wrappers are now stored in a MonoRemotingMethods struct, which
        is stored in the remoting invoke hashtable.
        
        * marshal.h: published the new method for getting the xdomain wrapper,
        and also added a method for getting the adequate wrapper for a given
        method and target.
        
        * object-internals.h, object.c: Added a couple of methods for capying and
        cloning arrays.
        Modified mono_install_remoting_trampoline, which takes the new remoting
        trampoline that has a remoting target as parameter.
        mono_class_proxy_vtable now also takes a remoting target as parameter, and
        will return the most suitable vtable for the target.
        Added mono_remote_class_vtable, which returns the vtable of a remote class
        (which can be the normal remoting vtable or the xdomain vtable).
        
        * threads.c: the xdomain invoke and dispatch wrappers must also be
        protected against interruptions.

2004-11-09 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: use memmove in BlockCopyInternal when the source and
        destination arrays are the same.

2004-11-09  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class-internals.h (MonoGenericContainer): Removed `method' and
        `signature', replaced them with `is_method' and `is_signature'
        flags.  Added `context'.

        * loader.c (method_from_methodspec): Take a `MonoGenericContext *'
        instead of a `MonoGenericContainer *'.

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_generic_param_equal): Removed the hack
        for dynamic type parameters.
        (mono_metadata_load_generic_params): Setup `container->context'.

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_setup_generic_class): Setup
        `tb->generic_container->context'.
        (do_mono_reflection_bind_generic_parameters): Use
        mono_class_inflate_generic_type() to correctly inflate types,
        rather than using our own hack just for MONO_TYPE_VAR.

2004-11-09  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_inflate_generic_method): Small fix; don't
        crash here.

        * icall.c
        (ves_icall_MonoType_GetGenericArguments): Don't ignore `byref' types.
        (ves_icall_Type_get_IsGenericTypeDefinition): Likewise.
        (ves_icall_Type_GetGenericTypeDefinition_impl): Likewise.

Tue Nov 9 17:26:29 CET 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.h, metadata.c, domain-internals.h, marshal.c: include
        the MonoClass pointer instead of the token in exception clauses.
        * reflection.c: updates for the above and make the code not depend
        on the structure of MonoExceptionClause.

2004-11-08  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Reflection_Assembly_GetModulesInternal): 
        Add support for dynamic assemblies. Fixes #69114.

        * loader.c (mono_method_get_header): Handle icalls and pinvoke methods.

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

        * class-internals.h (MonoMethod): Move addr to MonoMethodPInvoke
        since most only those methods use it. the code member of
        MonoMethodPInvoke was dead, so that can be removed too. Also,
        remove inline_count (again, not used), and move slot so that it
        can share bits with some other flags. This saves 8 bytes in the
        structure and gives us about 50 kb back for mcs helloworld.cs

        * *.[ch]: Do naming changes for the above.

        * loader.c (mono_method_get_header): Lazily init the header
        on first access.
        (mono_get_method_from_token): don't init the header here
        (mono_free_method): the header may never be allocated

        Overall, this saves 150 kb of unmanaged allocations
        for mcs helloworld.cs. That accounts for 10% of the unmanaged
        memory at runtime.
        
        * loader.c, loader.h (mono_method_get_header): new accessor.

        * *.[ch]: use the above method. Prepares us to lazily load
        the header.

        * *.[ch]: Clean up all the pesky warnings. gcc now only gives
        three warnings, which are actual bugs (see 69206).

        * class-internals.h (MonoMethod): Remove remoting_tramp. It is
        unused. Saves a cool 4 bytes / method.

2004-11-06  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c (builtin_types): Add types for System.Object here.
        (mono_metadata_parse_type_full): Cache MonoType*'s that are
        for a class or valuetype from klass->this_arg or klass->byval_arg.

        On mcs for a hello world, this gets us down from 21836 MonoType's
        to 14560.

        (mono_metadata_free_type): Account for the above change.

2004-11-06  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * appdomain.c (ves_icall_System_AppDomain_GetData): Throw an 
        exception instead of asserting if name is null.
        (ves_icall_System_AppDomain_GetData): Ditto.

2004-11-05  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        (ves_icall_get_enum_info): Avoid crash when called on a non-finished
        EnumBuilder.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Reflection_Assembly_GetEntryAssembly): 
        Return NULL when the domain does not have entry_assembly set.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Reflection_Assembly_GetFilesInternal): 
        Add a 'resource_modules' argument.
        (ves_icall_type_GetTypeCode): Fix typecode of byref types.

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_create_runtime_class): Move setting
        of wastypebuilder here, so mono_get_type_object () returns a MonoType
        for enums too.

        * marshal.c (ves_icall_System_Runtime_InteropServices_Marshal_PtrToStringAnsi): Return NULL here instead of an empty string to match MS behavior.
        (ves_icall_System_Runtime_InteropServices_Marshal_PtrToStringAnsi_len):
        Throw an ArgumentNullException if 'ptr' is null.

        * appdomain.c (mono_domain_assembly_search): Avoid matching dynamic
        assemblies here. Fixes #69020.

2004-11-05  Geoff Norton  <gnorton@customerdna.com>

        * reflection.c (build_compressed_metadata): Fix the previous patch for
        big endian systems.  GUINT32_FROM_LE isn't needed on strlen and was overwriting
        the stack.

2004-11-04  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * assembly.c (mono_assembly_names_equal): Allow a match if one of
        the cultures is false. Fixes #69090.

        * reflection.c (build_compressed_metadata): Fix invalid memory read 
        detected by valgrind.
        
        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_get_type): Avoid triggering a 
        TypeResolve multiple times for the same type. Fixes #65577.

2004-11-04  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c: Avoid using ldftn to call managed functions. It is
        much slower than just a call.

        * reflection.c (mono_module_get_object): free the basename we
        allocate here from glib.
        
        * reflection.c (ensure_runtime_vtable): make sure to free
        overrides.  Also, we were allocating an array of MonoMethod not an
        array of MonoMethod*.

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_stelemref): do a mono_mb_free here.

        * image.c (mono_image_close): free image->guid here.

2004-11-02  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * reflection.c: Fix some spec conformance issues with the PE file
        structures so mcs compiled apps run on the Net 2.0 beta.

2004-11-01  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * string-icalls.c (ves_icall_System_String_ctor_encoding): 
        Implement this. Fixes #67264.

        * debug-helpers.h debug-helpers.c marshal.c: Move 
        mono_find_method_by_name to debug-helpers.c.

2004-10-31  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * object.c (mono_release_type_locks): type_initialization_hash is
        a GHashTable.

        * reflection.c object.c object-internals.h: Fix warnings.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_Type_GetPropertiesByName): Handle properties
        without accessors. Fixes #61561.

        * appdomain.c (ves_icall_System_AppDomain_createDomain): Inherit
        application base from the root domain if not set. Fixes #65641.
        (mono_runtime_init): Fix warning.

2004-10-29 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c: call mono_thread_pool_init.
        * threadpool.[ch]: new mono_thread_pool_init that sets the max. number
        of worker threads based on the number of CPUs and the environment
        variable MONO_THREADS_PER_CPU if present. The defaults are 50 (25)
        for non-windows (windows) systems.

2004-10-27  Chris Toshok  <toshok@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.c (write_class): don't call mono_class_init
        here, as even with the check for (!klass->init_pending), we get
        into a situation where we're hitting cycles in class
        initialization.  Fixes #68816.

2004-10-25  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * image.c: Avoid overwriting values in the loaded_images_hash when an
        assembly is loaded multiple times. Fixes #61152.

        * assembly.c (mono_assembly_names_equal): Compare the cultures as well,
        so multiple satellite assemblies for the same name can be loaded.
        Fixes #68259.

        * mono_domain_assembly_preload: Actually return the loaded assembly, 
        not NULL.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_type_is_subtype_of): Fix this for byref types.
        (ves_icall_type_is_assignable_from): Ditto. Fixes #68582.

        * gc.c (finalize_domain_objects): Call GC_invoke_finalizers () so
        pending finalizers are not invoked after the appdomain has been 
        unloaded. Fixes #67862.

2004-10-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.c
        (mono_debugger_runtime_invoke): Don't box valuetypes.

2004-10-22  Chris Toshok  <toshok@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.c (do_write_class): handle .cctors too, and
        don't hide private methods.

2004-10-22  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: Allows the runtime to "share" (when known) the public key
        token of an assembly. This avoid the need to recalculate the token 
        (from the public key) in managed code.

2004-10-21  Chris Toshok  <toshok@ximian.com>

        * debug-helpers.c (append_class_name): argh, revert last patch.
        
2004-10-21  Chris Toshok  <toshok@ximian.com>

        * debug-helpers.c (append_class_name): use '+' as the delimiter,
        not '/', so that it matches what the debugger uses to look up
        methods.

2004-10-21  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.c (mono_debugger_throw_exception): New
        public method; this is called each time an exception is thrown and
        allows the debugger to use exception catch points.

2004-10-21  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.c (mono_debugger_handle_exception): Write
        the stack pointer and the exception object in some struct and pass
        that to the debugger.

2004-10-21  Chris Toshok  <toshok@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.c (do_write_class): add instance/static
        event support.  We don't expose "raise" or "other" yet.
        (event_is_static): new method.

2004-10-20  Bernie Solomon  <bernard@ugsolutions.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.c
        (mono_debugger_handle_exception): Remove
        bogus return value for fussy compilers.

2004-10-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.c
        (mono_debugger_unhandled_exception): Added `gpointer stack' argument.

        MONO_DEBUGGER_EVENT_EXCEPTION.

        * mono-debug-debugger.c (mono_debugger_handle_exception): New
        public function to send the debugger a notification for an
        exception and inform it about a catch/finally clause.

2004-10-19  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * marshal.c, icall.c: Applied patch from Alexandre Rocha Lima e
        Marcondes (alexandremarcondes@psl-pr.softwarelivre.org). Really

2004-10-12  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_bind_generic_parameters): Small
        fix, correctly retrieve our parent from a generic instance.

2004-10-12  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_generic_param_equal): We always have
        an owner.

        * class.c
        (mono_class_from_generic_parameter): We need to have an owner.
        (my_mono_class_from_generic_parameter): Likewise.

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_setup_generic_class): Renamed to
        mono_reflection_create_generic_class() and added a new
        mono_reflection_setup_generic_class().  
        (mono_reflection_initialize_generic_param): If we're a nested
        generic type and inherited from the containing class, set our
        owner to the outer class.

2004-10-11  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Reflection_MethodBase_GetMethodBodyInternal): New icall.

        * reflection.c (mono_method_body_get_object): New function to create
        a MethodBody object.

        * object-internals.h object.h: Add MonoReflectionMethodBody structure.

2004-10-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c (_mono_metadata_type_equal): Renamed to
        do_mono_metadata_type_equal() and made static.

2004-10-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c: Bump corlib version number to 28.

2004-10-10  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class-internals.h
        (MonoGenericInst): Added `MonoGenericContainer *container'.
        (MonoGenericMethod): Likewise.
        (MonoGenericContext): Likewise.
        (MonoGenericParam): Added `MonoGenericContainer *owner'.

        * metadata.c
        (do_mono_metadata_parse_type): Added a `MonoGenericContainer *' argument.
        (do_mono_metadata_parse_generic_inst): Likewise.
        (mono_metadata_parse_type_full): New public method.  This is the actual
        mono_metadata_parse_type() implementation - with an additional
        `MonoGenericContainer *' argument.
        (mono_metadata_parse_array_full): Likewise.
        (mono_metadata_parse_signature_full): Likewise.
        (mono_metadata_parse_method_signature_full): Likewise.
        (mono_metadata_parse_mh_full): Likewise.
        (mono_type_create_from_typespec): Likewise.
        (mono_metadata_interfaces_from_typedef_full): New public method;
        this is similar to the other _full() methods, but we take a
        `MonoGenericContext *' since we have to pass it to mono_class_get_full().
        (mono_metadata_parse_generic_param): Take an additional
        `MonoGenericContainer *' argument and lookup the MonoGenericParam
        from that container.
        (mono_metadata_generic_param_equal): New static method to compare
        two type parameters.
        (_mono_metadata_type_equal): New static method; takes an
        additional `gboolean signature_only' argument - if true, we don't
        compare the owners of generic parameters.
        (mono_metadata_signature_equal): Call _mono_metadata_type_equal()
        with a TRUE argument - do a signature-only comparision.

        * loader.c: Use the new _full() methods and pass the
        MonoGenericContainer to them.

        * object-internals.h (MonoReflectionTypeBuilder): Added
        `MonoGenericContainer *generic_container' field.
        (MonoReflectionMethodBuilder): Likewise.

2004-10-08  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Reflection_Module_GetGlobalType): Special
        case initial images of dynamic assemblies.

        * reflection.c (mono_image_basic_init): Set 'initial_image' field.

        * metadata-internals.h (MonoDynamicImage): Add 'initial_image' field.

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_event_builder_get_event_info): Fix
        length of event->other array.
        (typebuilder_setup_events): Ditto.

        * domain-internals.h (MonoDomain): Rename 'assemblies' hash table to
        'assembly_by_name' and add an 'assemblies' list.

        * assembly.h assembly.c: Add a new search hook for determining whenever
        an assembly is already loaded. Use this instead of searching in the
        loaded_assemblies list.

        * domain.c appdomain.c: Implement the new search hook so loaded 
        assemblies are now scoped by appdomain. Fixes #67727.

2004-10-07  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * threads.c (mono_thread_attach): Initialize synch_lock field so
        mono_thread_detach works again.

        * loader.c (mono_lookup_pinvoke_call): Try the dllname prefixed with
        'lib' too. Fixes #63130.

2004-10-06  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * culture-info-tables.h: regenerated.

2004-10-06  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_Type_GetInterfaces): Include interfaces 
        implemented by other interfaces in the result. Fixes #65764.
        
        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Reflection_Assembly_GetModulesInternal): 
        Handle unloadable modules without crashing.

        * image.c (load_modules): Revert the previous patch since modules must
        have a fixed index inside the array.
        
        * image.c (load_modules): Don't include native modules in the modules
        array.

2004-10-05  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * reflection.h: Add param_defaults field.

        Fixes #64595.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_MonoType_get_Namespace): Return NULL instead of
        an empty string when a type has no namespace. Fixes #64230.

2004-10-04  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * tabledefs.h: Added "internal" security actions to support non-CAS
        permissions NonCasDemand, NonCasLinkDemand and NonCasInheritance. 
        Note: they do not seems to be used anymore in 2.0 (new metadata format)

2004-10-04  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_InternalInvoke): Throw an exception when calling
        constructor of abstract class. Fixes #61689.

2004-10-04  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class-internals.h (MonoGenericContainer): New type.
        (MonoMethodNormal): Replaced `MonoGenericParam *gen_params' with
        `MonoGenericContainer *generic_container'.
        (MonoClass): Replaced `gen_params' and `num_gen_params' with
        `MonoGenericContainer *generic_container'.

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_load_generic_params): Return a
        `MonoGenericContainer *' instead of a `MonoGenericParam *';
        removed the `num' argument.

2004-10-03  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Reflection_Module_GetPEKind): Add support
        for dynamic images.

        * object-internals.h (MonoReflectionAssemblyBuilder): Add pe_kind and

        New helper function.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Reflection_Assembly_GetTypes): Return the
        created MonoType for dynamic types. Fixes #66180.

2004-10-02  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: the ares hashtable needs a critical section around it.
        this prevents some nasty segfaults

2004-10-02  Massimiliano Mantione  <massi@ximian.com>

        * process.c: Fixed alignments to 32 bits as casting to unsigned is unsafe
        on 64 bits platforms, patch by will@exomi.com (Ville-Pertti Keinonen), see
        bug 67324).
        
2004-09-30  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * object-internals.h (MonoReflectionTypeBuilder): Add 'created' field.
        
2004-09-30  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@novell.com>

        * image.c: Always canonicalize image file names, to avoid loading
        the same assembly twice when referenced using a relative path.

2004-09-30  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * marshal.h marshal.c icall.c: Fix bugs in previous patch.

        * marshal.c marshal.h icall.c: Add GetDelegateForFunctionPointerInternal icall.

        * marshal.c: Fix warnings.

2004-09-29  Geoff Norton  <gnorton@customerdna.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_ftnptr_to_delegate): This method was improperly
        attempting to marshal the delegate_trampoline as the method_addr.
        This patch has a static hashtable of marshalled delegates so that 
        we can map delegate_trampoline addresses back to delegates.  This
        allows a delegate passed to managed code to be passed back into native
        code.  Fixes #67039

2004-09-28  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * icall.c: Add GetFunctionPointerForDelegateInternal icall.

        * reflection.c (method_encode_code): Align method headers properly.
        Fixes #66025.

2004-09-28  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@novell.com>

        * marshal.c: In the runtime invoke wrapper, reset the abort
        exception if it is cached. This avoids the automatic rethrowal of 
        the exception after the catch of the wrapper. Also check for pending
        interruptions before calling the managed method. This is done using
        the new method emit_thread_force_interrupt_checkpoint, since the
        normal checkpoint method is ignored when running the invoke wrapper.
        * object.c: If the abort exception is rethrown, set the abort_exc
        field of the thread, so it will be rethrown aftere every catch.
        * threadpool.c: Only run an interruption checkpoint if what has been
        requested is a stop of the thread (aborts will be ignored).
        * threads.c: By default, a thread will now never be interrumped while
        running the runtime invoke wrapper (this ensures that runtime_invoke
        will always return to the caller if an exception pointer is provided).
        There is a new special method mono_thread_force_interruption_checkpoint()
        to force an interruption checkpoint even if running a protected
        wrapper, which is used by the same runtime invoke wrapper to do a check
        at a safe point.

2004-09-28  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@novell.com>

        * object.c, object-internals.h: Implemented mono_release_type_locks,

        code and the interpreter.

        * marshal.c: Register marshalling related JIT icalls here instead of
        in mini.c. Use CEE_MONO_ICALL instead of the family of

2004-06-23 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c: for paths in PrivateBinPath that are absolute, there's
        no need to build a new path combining that with the application base.
        Fixes bug #60442.

Wed Jun 23 18:36:58 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

Wed Jun 23 17:59:29 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: fixed issue with encoding some custom attributes
        (arrays in properties and fields, bug #60411).

2004-06-23 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: fix start address when copying the public key token.

2004-06-23  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.c (mono_debugger_unhandled_exception): Store
        the `exc' object in a static object to put it into the GC's root set.

Wed Jun 23 15:37:31 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: make mono_reflection_setup_internal_class ()
        callable a second time to setup a new parent class.

2004-06-23  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c: Check for WAIT_IO_COMPLETION return values.

2004-06-22  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c: Removed the g_free on the public key token. Now copy 
        the pk token string into the MonoAssemblyName buffer using g_strlcpy.
        * assembly.c: Added public key token string value when loading 
        assemblies. Fix bug #60439.
        * icall.c: Added missing informations (like public key) in 
        GetReferencedAssemblies. Fix #60519.
        * image.h: Changed definition for public key token from const char*
        public_tok_value to guchar public_key_token [17];
        * reflection.c: Updated for changes to public key token.

2004-06-22  Lluis Sanchez Gual

        * icall.c: In ves_icall_InternalExecute, when setting a filed, also look 
        for the field in base classes.

Tue Jun 22 16:48:02 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug.h, mono-debug-debugger.h, debug-mono-symfile.h:
        mark headers as not supported, they are installed only for use by the
        debugger.

Tue Jun 22 16:32:03 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * *.c, *.h: avoid namespace pollution in public headers.

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

        * exception.c (mono_get_exception_security): It's in
        "System.Security", not in "System".

        * mono-debug-debugger.c (mono_debugger_add_builtin_types): Add all
        the exception classes.

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

        * mono-debug-debugger.c (mono_debugger_unhandled_exception):
        Protect the exception object from being finalized.

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

        * mono-debug-debugger.h (mono_debugger_unhandled_exception): New
        public function.

2004-06-21  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: Load the assembly in mono_reflection_type_from_name,
        if it was not loaded before. Fix parts of #60439.

Mon Jun 21 16:04:43 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c, icall.c, object.c, image.c: fix the runtime_invoke ()
        code that was broken since Ben's change: wrappers are now
        dependent on the method signature only again.

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

        * mono-debug-debugger.c (write_class): Cleaned this up a bit and
        added interface support.

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

        * class.c (mono_vtable_get_static_field_data): New public method.

2004-06-20  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * class.h, class.c: more accessors.
        * metadata.h, metadata.c: prepare for hiding MonoType and
        MonoMethodSignature: people should use the accessors from now on
        outside of the tree.

Sat Jun 19 17:56:50 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * *.c, *.h: more API cleanups.

2004-06-18  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c: Trace loading assemblies.
        * loader.c: Trace loading native libraries.
        * mono-config.c: Trace loading config files.
        
2004-06-18  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * locales.c: Tell ICU the lengths of strings, it can cope with
        embedded \0 then.  Fixes bug 59274, and doesn't break bug 55822.

Fri Jun 18 11:59:57 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * image.c: swapped name/filename;

2004-06-18  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.c (write_class): Write the parent class at
        the end of the header.

Thu Jun 17 16:50:44 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * *.c, *.h, Makefile.am: more API cleanups and bugfixes.

2004-06-17  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * Makefile.am (PLATFORM_LIB): New.  Possibly refer to ../os/libmonoos.la.
        (bundle_obj): New conditional define.
        (BUILT_SOURCES): Remove.
        ($(bundle_srcs)): Make parallel-make safe.
        (libmonoruntime_la_LIBADD): Make unconditional.
        (libmetadata_la_LIBADD): Make unconditional.  Refer to $(bundle_obj).
        (libmetadata_la_SOURCES): Don't refer to $(bundle_srcs).

2004-06-17  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * culture-info-tables.h: It was inconsistent with the latest
          supp info files.

2004-06-17  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * assembly.c (mono_assembly_open): Fix crash when the assembly can't
        be loaded.

        * threads.c (ves_icall_System_Threading_Thread_Resume): Fix compilation
        with gcc 2.95.

Wed Jun 16 18:23:45 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * threads.h, icall.c, object.c, threadpool.c, threads-types.h:
        cleaned up public header threads.h.

Wed Jun 16 18:11:41 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Makefile.am, *.c, *.h: more API cleanups.

Wed Jun 16 14:33:22 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Makefile.am: removed monosn from compilation.
        * appdomain.c, assembly.c, assembly.h, blob.h, class.c,
        debug-helpers.c, debug-mono-symfile.c, domain.c, icall.c,
        image.c, image.h, loader.c, marshal.c, metadata-internals.h,
        metadata.c, metadata.h, mono-config.c, mono-debug-debugger.c,
        mono-debug.c, object.c, opcodes.c, opcodes.h, pedump.c, process.c,
        reflection.c, reflection.h, verify.c: more API cleanups and fixes.

2004-06-15  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c: Make locales lower case when searching the GAC for
        assemblies. gacutil will always make locales lowercase when
        installing so this effectively makes them case insensitive.
        
2004-06-15  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * locales.c, threadpool.c: use mono_monitor_enter instead of mono_monitor_try_enter.
        * monitor.c: New method mono_monitor_try_enter_internal, which takes a new
          parameter which allows to choose whether the wait can be interrupted or 
          not. Also added the method mono_monitor_enter(), which locks the monitor
          using an infinite wait and without allowing interruption.
          In the Monitor.Enter and Wait icalls, retry the lock if the wait is
          interrupted.
        * object.h: Added new fields in MonoThread. suspend_event holds the event
          used to susped/resume the thread. synch_lock is the lock object to use for
          modifying the thread state.
        * threads.c: Use the new synch_lock object for locking, instead of "this",
          which can generate deadlocks.
          Moved thread state change in Thread.Sleep and Thread.Join from managed
          to unmanaged code. This avoids a deadlock when the thread was suspended
          just after acquiring the thread lock.
          In general, use mono_monitor_enter instead of mono_monitor_try_enter.
          Implemented Thread.Suspend using an event instead of ThreadSuspend,
          which is not fully implemented in the io-layer.
        * socket-io.c: Only try IPv6 DNS lookup if IPv4 fails.

Tue Jun 15 18:34:21 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Makefile.am, monitor.h, object.h, threadpool.c, threadpool.h,
        threads-types.h: more API cleanups.

Tue Jun 15 16:40:19 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * domain-internals.h, Makefile.am, appdomain.c, appdomain.h,
        domain.c, gc.c, icall.c, mono-debug.c, object.c, reflection.c,
        threadpool.c, threads.c: first pass at the exported API cleanup.

Tue Jun 15 15:29:47 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: fix signatures of some VolatileRead and VolatileWrite icalls.

2004-06-15 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: added internalGetHome.

2004-06-14  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * file-io.c (ves_icall_System_IO_MonoIO_FindFirstFile): It was
        possible to return successfully when '.' or '..' were the only
        entries in a directory, but were skipped.  The MonoIOStat was not
        filled in in that case.  Now return ERROR_NO_MORE_FILES instead.
        Fixes bug 59574.

Mon Jun 14 00:27:15 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: make binaries run on .Net 1.1 by default.

Sun Jun 13 18:22:40 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c, threadpool.h: use the correct return type in SetMinThreads ().

Sun Jun 13 16:44:39 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c: keep track of struct size with explicit layout
        (bug #59979).

2004-06-12  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.c: Comment out a debugging g_message().

Sat Jun 12 14:15:02 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c, reflection.h: do not free custom attrs that are cached.
        * icall.c: use braces to make code clearer.

2004-06-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * class.h (MonoInflatedField): New type.
        (MonoClassField): Replaced `MonoType *generic_type' with
        `MonoInflatedField *generic_info'.

        * icall.c
        (ves_icall_MonoField_Mono_GetGenericFieldDefinition): New icall.

2004-06-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c (mono_image_create_method_token): Correctly encode
        varargs methods.

2004-06-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_parse_method_signature): When parsing
        a MethodDef which has VarArgs, also set sentinelpos if we don't
        have any parameters.

2004-06-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * verify.c (mono_method_verify): In CEE_CALL, use
        mono_method_get_signature() to get the method's signature, unless
        we're a PInvoke method.

2004-06-10  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c: Use <path>/lib/mono/gac for the extra paths
        lookup. Rename MONO_GAC_PATH to MONO_GAC_PREFIX, this is a more
        logical name as the supplied path is just a prefix to the gac not
        the direct path to it.
        
Thu Jun 10 20:10:16 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: make the token for a created method match
        the token of the MethodBuilder it was created from
        (IKVM requires this behaviour now).

Thu Jun 10 16:02:27 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * image.c, image.h, appdomain.c, assembly.c, loader.c, metadata.c,
        reflection.c, socket-io.c: leak fixes.

Wed Jun 9 18:23:59 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: handle sentinel pos in vararg methods in position different
        from 0.

2004-06-09  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * culture-info-tables.h: freshly generated.

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

        * loader.c (mono_get_method_constrained): Call `mono_class_init
        (constrained_class)'.   

2004-06-08  Gert Driesen <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_MonoType_GetEvent): Handle events without
        any methods. Fixes #59629.

2004-06-08  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * culture-info-tables.h: reflecting locale-builder updates.

2004-06-08  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * object.h:
        * locales.c: Fixed compile warnings, including a real bug in
        CompareInfo_internal_compare.
        
2004-06-08  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * locales.c
        (ves_icall_System_Globalization_CompareInfo_internal_index):
        (ves_icall_System_Globalization_CompareInfo_internal_index_char):
        Double-check the resuls of usearches, because ICU currently
        ignores most of the collator settings here.  Fixes bug 59720.
        
2004-06-08  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * locales.c
        (ves_icall_System_Globalization_CompareInfo_internal_index_char):
        Fix memory leak and segfault-causing typo.  No idea how this one
        lasted so long without being noticed.

2004-06-09  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_Type_GetEvents_internal): Handle events without
        any methods. Fixes #59629.

2004-06-08  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c:
        (mono_assembly_load): search_loaded -> mono_assembly_loaded (we didn't
        own the critical section before). Removed dead code (that's done
        in the preload hook).

        (mono_assembly_load_with_partial_name): call the preload hook.

2004-06-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_signature_alloc): Default
        `sentinelpos' to -1.

        * reflection.c (mono_image_get_array_token): Likewise.

2004-06-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_ModuleBuilder_getMethodToken): New icall.

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_parse_method_signature): When parsing
        a MethodDef which has VarArgs, set sentinelpos.

        * metadata.h (MonoMethodSignature): Make `sentinalpos' a signed
        `gint16' since we're using -1 for non-varargs methods.

        * reflection.c
        (ReflectionMethodBuilder): Added `MonoArray *opt_types'.
        (method_encode_signature): Added varargs support.
        (method_builder_encode_signature): Likewise.
        (mono_image_get_varargs_method_token): New static method.
        (mono_image_create_method_token): New public method; this is
        called via an icall instead of mono_image_create_token() when
        calling a varargs method.       

2004-06-08  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * locales.c: Fixed memory leak in Char.ToLower/ToUpper.

2004-06-08  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * culture-info-tables.h : Reflecting the latest locale-builder that
          fixed empty array representation ({} to {0}).

2004-06-07  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c: It should be <MONO_GAC_PATH>/lib/mono/gac when
        looking up extra gac paths. This allows MONO_GAC_PATH to act
        exactly like a prefix.
        
2004-06-08  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_type_from_name): Make a copy of the
        type name before modifying it. Fixes #59405.

2004-06-08  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * culture-info.h: added fields for "all datetime patterns".
        * locales.c: (  ves_icall_System_Globalization_CultureInfo
          _construct_datetime_format ()): fill xxx_patterns fields.
        * object.h: added fields for "all datetime patterns" to
          MonoDateTimeFormatInfo.
        * culture-info-tables.h: reflecting locale-builder updates.

2004-06-08  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_Type_GetEvents_internal): Handle the case when
        the event has no add and remove methods. Fixes #59629.

2004-06-05  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * object.c: Fixed possible integer overflow when allocating large
        strings.

2004-06-05  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

2004-06-02  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug.h (MONO_DEBUGGER_VERSION): Bumped version to 41.

        * debug-mono-symfile.h: Bumped symbol file version number to 37.

2004-05-31  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_runtime_invoke): Fix CR/LFs.

2004-05-30  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: Do not hardcode assembly versions or public key
        tokens anymore. All of this except the corlib section was dead
        code anyways.
        
2004-05-29  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * object.c (mono_runtime_invoke_array): Automatically create boxed
        objects for byref valuetypes if needed. Fixes #59300.
        
        * object.c (mono_method_return_message_restore): Handle 
        MONO_TYPE_OBJECT as well.

2004-05-28  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: The modified type encoding was causing build
        problems. Reverted for now.
        
2004-05-28  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c/h: Take an assembly ref so that we dont create
        fully qualified names when encoding types in the same assembly as
        the custom attribute being emitted.
        * appdomain.c: Increment version number.
        
2004-05-26  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * icall.c
        (ves_icall_System_Reflection_Assembly_GetReferencedAssemblies):
        Set the full version number (major, minor, build, revision).

2004-05-28  Vladimir Vukicevic  <vladimir@pobox.com>

        * marshal.c (emit_struct_conv): increment src/dst after blit
        (mono_marshal_get_managed_wrapper,
        mono_marshal_get_native_wrapper): make sure we have marshalling
        info before marshalling params (info computation affects
        blittable)

        * class.c (class_compute_field_layout): correctly deal with
        blittable
        (mono_class_layout_fields): Don't do gc_aware_layout for AUTO
        value types (as per what windows dows by default)
        (mono_class_setup_mono_type): System.ValueType is blittable
        (mono_ptr_class_get, mono_fnptr_class_get): Pointer classes are
        blittable

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_load_type_info): flag types  as
        non-blittable if the native layout doesn't match the managed
        layout

        * appdomain.c: don't add stuff in the private search path that is
        above the application base. If application base is not set, there's
        no private search path.

2004-05-28  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_managed_wrapper): Add proper support for
        byref struct arguments in native->managed marshalling.

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

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_runtime_invoke): correctly
        cache methods using signature (special case for methods
        that are value type or string class)
        
        * image.c (mono_image_close): clean up allocated GSList's
        in runtime_invoke_cache.

        there's no MONO_CFG_DIR environment variable defined.

2004-05-28  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threads.c: windows version must be >= 0x0500 to include OpenThread.

2004-05-28  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: Really wait for 500ms after the async call, even if the wait
          is interrumped.
        * threads.c: In mono_thread_manage, call OpenThread to ref each handle
          before waiting for it, and call CloseHandle after the wait to unref it.
          This will make sure that handles are not disposed too early.

2004-05-28  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c:
        * appdomain.h:
        * icall.c: removed
        ves_icall_System_AppDomainSetup_InitAppDomainSetup as it's not
        needed now.

        * object.c: se the application_base only for the domain that runs
        Main. Fixes bug #59216,

2004-05-28  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c:
        * object.c: only the domain in which Main is run have
        SetupInformation.ConfigurationFile set, so moved a few lines from
        appdomain.c to object.c.

2004-05-28  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c: we tried to load [name].(dll|exe), but according
        to bug #57710, we must also try [culture]/[name].(dll|exe) and
        [culture]/[name]/[name](dll|exe). This patch fixes the bug.
        There's a test case attached to bug #58922.

        FALSE on error (fixes both compiler warning and real bug.)

2004-05-27  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * culture-info-tables.h: reflecting locale-builder updates.

          (Added missing ChangeLog entry for 05/26)

        * rand.c|h: Changed RNG interface to allow thread-safe usage under 
        Windows (CryptoAPI).

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

        * locales.c: Fix build.

2004-05-25  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * culture-info-tables.h: reflecting locale-builder updates.

2004-05-25  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * locales.c: When creating the current culture use the $LANGs
        specific culture. So DateTimeFormat and NumberFormat entries are created.
        
2004-05-25  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * string-icalls.{h,c} icalls.c: Add new icalls for Strcpy which take
        a char array as parameter.

2004-05-24  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * image.c: In mono_image_open(), always use an absolute path name to
          look for already loaded images.

2004-05-24  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: Added define for CSIDL_FLAG_CREATE (0x8000) in case it is
        missing in the windows build (like older cygwin include files).

2004-05-23  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: Fixed check for possible integer overflow in Buffer_
        BlockCopy icall. Replaced comments style // by /* */.

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

        * marshal.c (mono_ftnptr_to_delegate): Fix warning.
        
        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_proxy_cancast): Move thread interrupt
        check after MONO_VTADDR. Fixes pinvoke2.exe.

        * icall.c: Registered icalls for Suspend and Resume.
        * locales.c: Beware, mono_monitor_try_enter can now be interrupted by
          Thread.Abort.
        * monitor.c: Use WaitForSingleObjectEx. Added some interruption checkpoints.
        * mono-debug-debugger.c: Use WaitForSingleObjectEx et al.
        * process.c: Use WaitForSingleObjectEx.
        * threadpool.c: Use WaitForSingleObjectEx. Added some interruption 
          checkpoints.
        * threads.c, threads.h: Make use of new Ex wait methods. Improved
          implementation of Thread.Abort and Thread.ResetAbort icalls. Added icalls
          for Suspend and Resume. Added new mono_thread_stop, used for stoping
          background threads. Added basic support for Abort in Windows.
          Start new threads using a managed delegate invoke wrapper. This wrapper
          has an interruption checkpoint that is needed since an interruption
          can be requested before the thread leaves the unmanaged code that starts 
          the thread.
        * marshal.c: Added interruption checkpoint after every native call, and
          also before managed calls for wrappers called from unmanaged code to
          go into managed code.
        * object.h: Added new field in MonoThread to keep track of interruption
          requests.

2004-05-20  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c:
        * assembly.c:
        * gc.c:
        * locales.c:
        * mono-config.c:
        * rand.c: getenv -> g_getenv (windows!)

        * process.c: complete_path is also used on non-windows platforms.

2004-05-19  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: new signature for Process_Start.

        * process.[ch]: new signature for Process_Start. If we're on windows
        and UseShellExecute is false, we have to search for the program by
        ourselves if we don't get a full path.

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

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_native_wrapper): Fix up custom 
        marshalling and call CleanUpNativeData if needed. Fixes #58646.

2004-05-18  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * socket-io.c: field value changed for Int32 from 'value' to 'm_value'.
        Fixes bug #58373.

2004-05-17  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * process.c: use double quotes to quote program name and arguments on
        windows. Fixes bug #58575.

2004-05-17  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * file-io.c: don't return "." and ".." when using windows Find*File.

2003-05-17      Patrik Torstensson <totte@hiddenpeaks.com>

        * marshal.c: Don't pass wrappers to message init because method 
        addressed used to lookup metadata. part of remoting[2|3] fix.

2004-05-15  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c: Remove user gac and implement MONO_GAC_PATH, this
        path is essentially the same as MONO_PATH except that it points to
        GACs instead of lib directories.
        * loader.h: The user gac is gone so we dont need function to
        enable/disable it.
        * mono-config.c: user gac option is now gone.
        
2004-05-15  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * culture-info.h: Make defines more consistent, add calendar data
        to the culture info table.
        * culture-info-tables.h: Add basic calendar data. Basically
        everyone gets default gregorian until all the data is
        updated.
        * locales.c: Use the new consistent defines. Set calendar data for
        culture info objects.
        * object.h: add a field for calendar data to CultureInfo
        
2004-05-14 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * image.c: image->runtime_invoke_cache is keyed on signatures now.
        * marshal.c (mono_mb_emit_calli): new helper to emit a CEE_CALLI with
        a signature.
        (mono_mb_emit_managed_call, mono_mb_emit_native_call): use the above.
        (mono_marshal_get_runtime_invoke): The runtime invoke method now takes
        an extra param that is the pointer of the method to invoke. The IL for
        the invoke method is no longer specific to the method, but to the
        signature of the method. Thus, we can share the same code for multiple
        methods. This reduces the number of methods that have to be compiled.

2004-05-14  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Reflection_Assembly_load_with_partial_name): Fix warning.

        * icall.c: Optimize Buffer.BlockCopy.

2004-05-14  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * culture-info-tables.h: seems like Spanish and Portuguese cultures had
        DateTimeFormatInfo.YearMonthPattern like "MMMM' yyyy" (note the single
        quote). Changed them to "MMMM yyyy".

2004-05-12  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * rand.c
        (ves_icall_System_Security_Cryptography_RNGCryptoServiceProvider_InternalGetBytes): Always close the file.

        * Makefile.am: also add libmonoos to libmetadata. Fixes the build on
        windows.

        * Makefile.am: link to ../os/libmonoos.la on windows.

        * assembly.c:
                -If MONO_DEBUG, warn about non-existing directories in
                MONO_PATH.
                -Added mono_assembly_getrootdir() that replaces MONO_ASSEMBLIES
                compile time variable.
                -Removed init_default_path and call mono_set_rootdir from
                libmonoos.a instead (windows only).

        * assembly.h: declare mono_assembly_getrootdir().

        * domain.c:
        * icall.c: use mono_assembly_getrootdir() instead of MONO_ASSEMBLIES.

        * metadata.h: Add new marshalling conversions.

        * metadata.h metadata.c (mono_metadata_signature_dup): New helper
        function.

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_get_type): Lookup the type in all
        modules of a multi-module assembly. Fixes #58291.

2004-05-11  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * threads.c: Before aborting a background, set the StopRequested
        state.  This avoids throwing the Abort exception.
        In mono_thread_manage, don't continue with the shutdown until all
        aborted threads have actually stopped.

2004-05-10  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * locales.c: Remove the modifier from culture names.

        (umuff@quark.com), fixes bug 57928.

2004-05-06  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: Handle null PublicTokens properly. alloc mem for

        * object.c: in mono_object_get_virtual_method(), take into account that
        non-virtual methods don't have a slot in the vtable. Check needed when
        the object is a proxy.

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

        * appdomain.c: If the culture is neutral we set it to "".
        
2004-04-29  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * locales.c: Add some missing MONO_ARCH_SAVE_REGS'.

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

        * appdomain.c: Set assembly references public token value when
        PublicKeyToken is specified, not the hash_value. Free public token
        values when free assembly name data. Previously the public key
        token was hex decoded, however we are using hex encoded public key
        tokens, so this is not neccasary.
        * assembly.c: Lookup assemblies in the gac if their public token
        value is set. Add function to allow enabling user gac
        lookups. Specify whether or not the assembly was loaded from the
        GAC. Compare full assembly names when checking the cache for
        assemblies (Temporarily disabled see comment in code). Remove
        mscorlib -> corlib mapping cruft. Add trace-loading. When a user
        specifies trace-loader they get extra info to stdout on the
        loading of assemblies.
        * image.h: Add a field for an assembly references public token
        value to MonoAssemblyname. Add a field to MonoAssembly to specifiy
        whether an assembly has been loaded from the GAC.
        * image.c: Remove a corlib -> mscorlib name mapping.
        * loader.h: Add function to enable/disable the user gac.
        * mono-config.c: Check if the usergac is enabled in the config
        file.
        * icall.c: New icall to determine whether or not an assembly has
        been loaded from the GAC. Remove some mscorlib -> corlib mappings.
        * tabldefs.h: Add constant for assemblyref flag that specifies a
        full public key is used instead of a public token.
        * reflection.c: Remove mscorlib -> corlib mappings. Set
        PublicTokenValue instead of hash value. This value is a hex
        string so it does not need to be expanded.

2004-04-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.c (mono_debugger_initialize): Set
        `mono_debugger_initialized' before calling mono_debug_lock().

        fields to zero.
        (mono_image_get_generic_param_info): Likewise.

        * reflection.h (MonoReflectionInflatedMethod): New public
        typedef.  Corresponds to the managed "S.R.MonoInflatedMethod" and
        "S.R.MonoInflatedCtor" classes.

2003-10-28  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * object.c (mono_runtime_run_main): Convert command-line arguments
        into utf8, falling back to the user's locale encoding to do so.

2003-10-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_parse_generic_inst): Renamed to
        `do_mono_metadata_parse_generic_inst'; pass it the MonoType we're
        currently parsing.  Create the generic class and store it in
        `generic_inst->klass' before parsing the type arguments.  This is
        required to support "recursive" definitions; see mcs/tests/gen-23.cs
        for an example.
        (mono_type_create_from_typespec): Use a new `image->typespec_cache'
        to support recursive typespec entries.

        * class.c (mono_class_setup_parent): If our parent is a generic
        instance, we may get called before it has its name set.
        (mono_class_from_generic): Splitted into
        mono_class_create_from_generic() and mono_class_initialize_generic().

        inside the domain lock. Fixes #49993.
        
        * object.c (mono_class_vtable): When typed allocation is used, 
        allocate vtables in the GC heap instead of in the mempool, since the
        vtables contain GC descriptors which are used by the collector even
        after the domain owning the mempool is unloaded.

        * domain.c (mono_domain_set): Rename to mono_domain_set_internal.

        * domain.c (mono_domain_unload): Rename to mono_domain_free to better

        appdomain.

        * appdomain.c (mono_domain_set): New function to set the current
        appdomain, but only if it is not being unloaded.

        * appdomain.c (ves_icall_System_AppDomain_InternalUnload): Prevent
        unloading of the root appdomain.

        * appdomain.c (ves_icall_System_AppDomain_InternalInvokeInDomain): New
        icall to execute a method in another appdomain. Intended as a 
        replacement for InternalSetDomain, which can confuse the code 
        generation in the JIT.

        * appdomain.c (mono_domain_is_unloading): New function to determine
        whenever an appdomain is unloading.

        * appdomain.c (mono_domain_unload): New function to correctly unload
        an appdomain.

        * assembly.c (mono_assembly_load_references): Check that an assembly
        does not references itself.

        * gc.c (mono_domain_finalize): Rewrote so instead of finalizing a
        domain manually, it asks the finalizer thread to do it, then waits for
        the result. Also added a timeout.

        * icall.c: Register the new icalls.

        * threads.h threads.c: Export the mono_gc_stop_world and

        * reflection.h (MonoReflectionMethodAux): New structure to store
        information which is rarely used, thus is not in the MonoMethod
        structure.

        * reflection.h (MonoDynamicAssembly): New field 'method_aux_hash' to
        store the aux info.

        * reflection.c (mono_methodbuilder_to_mono_method): Store param names
        and marshalling info into the aux structure.

        * loader.c (mono_method_get_marshal_info): Retrieve the marshal info

2003-10-21  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c (create_typespec): Added MONO_TYPE_VAR and MONO_TYPE_MVAR.

2003-10-20  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * exception.h exception.c (mono_get_exception_cannot_unload_appdomain):
        New function.

        * object.h object.c: Remove G_GNUC_NORETURN from the signature of
        mono_raise_exception, since otherwise gcc doesn't generate the function
        epilog for raise_exception, confusing the stack unwinding in the JIT.
        Fixes #45043.

        * rawbuffer.c (mono_raw_buffer_load_mmap): Map mmap-ed memory with
        PROT_EXEC. This seems to prevent segmentation faults on Fedora Linux.

        * class.c (inflate_generic_signature): Renamed to
        mono_class_inflate_generic_signature() and made it public.
        (my_mono_class_from_generic_parameter): New static function; if we
        don't already have the generic parameter's MonoClass, create a
        very simple one which is just used internally in the runtime and
        not passed back to managed code.

        * class.h (MonoGenericInst): Added `gpointer mbuilder' field.

        * metadata.h (MonoMethodSignature): Moved the

        type parameters.

        * reflection.c (mono_image_get_memberref_token): Allow

        table.
        (fixup_method): Added support for MONO_TABLE_METHODSPEC.
        (mono_image_create_token): First check whether it's a generic
        method (so we'd need to create a MethodSpec), then do the other
        two alternatives.
        (mono_reflection_bind_generic_method_parameters): Return a
        `MonoReflectionMethod *' instead of a `MonoMethod *'; we're now

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_type_equal): Two types of
        MONO_TYPE_VAR or MONO_TYPE_MVAR equals if they have the same
        index; ie. don't compare the address of the `MonoGenericParam'
        structure.
        (mono_metadata_load_generic_params): Removed the `MonoMethod
        *method' argument.

        * metadata.h (MonoGenericInst): Moved declaration to class.h.

        for generic methods.
        (mono_reflection_bind_generic_method_parameters): New public
        function.  Instantiates a generic method.

2003-10-16  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * metadata.h (MonoMethodSignature): Moved `MonoGenericParam
        *gen_params' here from MonoMethodHeader.

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_parse_method_signature): If we have
        generic parameters, initialize `method->gen_params' and then set
        the correct `type->data.generic_param' in all the parameters.

2003-10-16  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * threads.c (mono_threads_get_default_stacksize): New function to 
        return the default stacksize.

        * gc.c (mono_gc_cleanup): Use a separate event for waiting for the
        termination of the finalizer thread, since the previous method had
        race conditions. Fixes #49628.

        * gc.c (mono_gc_init): Use the same stacksize for the finalizer thread
        as for the other managed threads.

        (mono_class_from_mono_type): Only allow MONO_TYPE_VAR and
        MONO_TYPE_MVAR if mono_class_from_generic_parameter() has
        previously been called.

        `MonoMethod *method' argument which is used MONO_TYPE_MVAR.

        method isn't called directly from the icall anymore; take a

        * class.c (inflate_generic_type): If we're inflating for a generic

2003-10-10  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * string-icalls.c: Join ignores null strings in the source array.

2003-10-09  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: added an argument to async_invoke_thread that is the
        item to process, pass the MonoAsyncResult to the thread start function
        when creating a new thread. This way we don't need to acquire any lock
        when we're creating a new thread. Readded a semaphore for faster

2003-09-19  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_define_generic_parameter): Don't

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

        * metadata.h (MonoType): Replaced the data's `int type_param'

        parameters may be in the same assembly, but never use a typedef
        for them.
        (mono_reflection_define_generic_parameter): We're now creating a
        "real" class for the type parameter; it's now safe to call
        mono_class_from_mono_type() on the class'es type, it'll do the
        right thing.

2003-09-16  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.c (allocate_symbol_file_entry): Initialize
        `symfile->range_entry_size' and `symfile->class_entry_size' here;

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_custom_attrs_from_index): New function to
        obtain the first custom attribute for a given index. Depends on the

        (bernard@ugsolutions.com).

        * reflection.c: Endianness fixes from Bernie Solomon

        #48050.

2003-08-29  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_init): Make this callable multiple times

        the appropriate places.

        * domain.c (mono_init): Call the new initialization functions of the
        three modules.

Fri Aug 15 11:42:46 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * rand.c: remove useless warnings.

Wed Aug 13 15:49:57 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: implemented ldtoken for methods and fieldrefs.

2003-08-11  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: when mono_async_invoke was called, no one took care of
        monitoring the queue. So if the method invoked took some time and we
        got new async invoke requests after 500 ms (the thread created waited
        that long in WaitForSingleObject), the new async invoke was not called
        until the previous one finished.

        This is fixed now. Thanks to Totte for helping with it.

2003-08-11  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: set threadpool_thread to TRUE. Patch by totte.

2003-08-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        properties and methods.

2003-08-06  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.c: Don't store the MonoString's vtable to
        make this work for applications with multiple application domains.

2003-08-04  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.c: Completely reworked the type support; the
        most important thing is that we're now just using one single
        `MonoType' instance per type.

Sat Aug  2 13:05:27 BST 2003 Malte Hildingson <malte@amy.udd.htu.se>

        * mono-endian.h, mono-endian.c, icall.c: Added icall
        ves_icall_System_Double_AssertEndianity to assert double word endianity
        on ARM (FPA). The icall uses a macro defined in mono-endian.h.

Fri Aug 1 16:51:13 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c, class.h, reflection.c, metadata.c, icall.c: more generics
        support, icalls and fixes.

2003-07-31  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * unicode.c (ves_icall_System_Char_IsPunctuation): The set of
        classes that are a punctuation character in .NET is not the same a
        g_unichar_ispunct.

Tue Jul 29 18:07:08 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * socket-io.c: ipv6 portability fixes from Felix Ortga (guile@lared.es).

2003-07-29  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: Add new MemCopy internalcall.
        (ves_icall_System_Reflection_Assembly_GetManifestResourceInternal):
        Simplified code; It is not necessary to handle all the cases here,
        as the C# code takes care of it.  Only handle the case of the name
        resource embedded into the assembly.

        Changed signature to return the data pointer and the size of the
        data. 

2003-07-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c (mono_image_get_method_info): Allow for 0x40 to be
        encoded.        (Partition II.22.1.7: PInvokeAttribute:SupportsLastErr).

2003-07-29  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: improve fix of get_base_definition(). If the parent class
          doesn't have the mehod, look at the parent of the parent.
        * object.c: mono_message_init(): use the attribute PARAM_ATTRIBUTE_OUT
          to check if a parameter is an in or out parameter
          (PARAM_ATTRIBUTE_IN is not set by default).
          mono_method_return_message_restore(): Use mono_class_value_size to
          get the size of a value type. mono_type_stack_size (parameterType)
          does not return the correct value if parameterType is byRef.
          mono_load_remote_field(), mono_load_remote_field_new(),
          mono_store_remote_field(), mono_store_remote_field_new():
          raise exception if the remote call returns an exception.

2003-07-28  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.c (mono_debugger_runtime_invoke): New
        method.  This is a wrapper around mono_runtime_invoke() which
        boxes the instance object if neccessary.

Fri Jul 25 19:14:13 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c, class.h, image.c, image.h, loader.c, metadata.c,

2003-07-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * object.c (mono_runtime_class_init): Take the metadata_section
        mutex before obtaining the domain mutex.

        * appdomain.h: Added definition of metadata_section mutex here. 

        * object.c: define metadata_mutex here.

2003-07-24  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: Remove the FIXED_MCS_45127 workarounds - this has been

        * object.h: fill in the type name for TypeLoadException.

2003-07-23  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * class.c: Fixes from Paolo in response to bug #45415 (Subclass
        relationship between TypeBuilders while compiling corlib) and bug
        45993 (Array types returned from the runtime while compiling
        corlib were from the loaded corlib).

2003-07-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.c: Reworked the type support a bit more;
        distinguish between types and classes.

Tue Jul 22 15:48:50 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: add IsArrayImpl icall.

2003-07-22  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * class.c (mono_class_layout_fields): Fix gc aware auto layout by
        initializing real_size only once. Also fix bug #46602.

2003-07-21  Jerome Laban <jlaban@wanadoo.fr>

        * object.c: Renamed mono_metadata_section to metadata_section.

2003-07-21  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: in MS.NET ves_icall_Type_GetInterfaces returns an
          empty array if the type is an array. Fixed.
          ves_icall_MonoMethod_get_base_definition: if the base method
          is abstract, get the MethodInfo from the list of methods of
          the class.
        * reflection.c: ParameterInfo.PositionImpl should be zero-based
          and it was 1-based. Fixed in mono_param_get_objects.

2003-07-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug.h: Set version number to 31.
        (mono_debug_init): Added `MonoDomain *' argument.

        * mono-debug-debugger.c: Reworked the type support; explicitly
        tell the debugger about builtin types; pass the `klass' address to
        the debugger.

2003-07-20 Jackson Harper <jackson@latitudegeo.com>

        * image.c: Allow new metadata tables to be loaded without a
        warning. Also update the warning message to give the new constant value.
                
Fri Jul 18 13:12:21 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c, class.h, debug-helpers.c, icall.c, image.c, marshal.c,
        metadata.c, metadata.h, mono-debug-debugger.c, object.c, reflection.c: 
        array type representation changes.

Fri Jul 18 11:26:58 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * icall.c, appdomain.h, appdomain.c: support full runtime shutdown
        on Environment.Exit () call.

Thu Jul 17 17:21:57 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * icall.c, reflection.h, reflection.c, verify.c: cleanups,
        requires a matching corlib.

2003-07-17  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * Changelog: My editor decided to add a CR to each line. Sorry about that.
          Committed again without the CRs.
        
2003-07-17  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * socket-io.c: Get system_assembly using mono_image_loaded(), instead
          getting it from the "this" socket instance. Did not work
          if the socket is a subclass of Socket.
          Also fixed bug #35371.

Thu Jul 17 13:39:32 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c: fixed size for TypedByRef.

        Bernie Solomon <bernard@ugsolutions.com> for that part.)

        Fixed compile warnings.
        
        Fixed formatting and line endings.

2003-07-14  Jerome Laban <jlaban@wanadoo.fr>

        * socket-io.h:
        * socket-io.c: Added IPv6 support.

2003-07-13  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * class.c (mono_class_is_assignable_from): New function to implement
        the is_assignable_from logic. Used by mono_object_isinst, 
        Type::IsAssignableFrom () and the interpreter.

        * class.c (mono_class_is_subclass_of): Make all classes a subclass of
        Object, even interfaces.
        
        * object.c (mono_object_isinst): Implement in terms of 
        is_assignable_from.

2003-07-11  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * image.c (load_metadata_ptrs): use g_strndup because strndup is
        not available on all plattforms

2003-07-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * image.h image.c: Store the metadata version string in MonoImage.

        * reflection.c (create_dynamic_image): Fill in the image version field
        * reflection.c (build_compressed_metadata): Use the image version
        from the image structure.

2003-07-08  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c: modified comment.
        * gc.c: finalizer_thread can call finalizers even when finished == TRUE.
        That will be its last iteration when mono_gc_cleanup is called from
        mono_runtime_cleanup and before the domain is unloaded.

        Fixes bug #45962.

2003-07-04  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_native_wrapper): fixes for [out]
        attributes.

Thu Jul 3 17:22:20 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.c, file-io.c, metadata.c, mono-endian.h, reflection.c,
        rawbuffer.c: more 64 bit and picky (or old) compiler fixes from
        Bernie Solomon <bernard@ugsolutions.com>.

Thu Jul 3 17:17:39 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.c, object.h: provide mono_object_new_fast() for faster
        allocation in some special cases.

Wed Jul 2 13:21:26 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.h, reflection.h, verify.c: fixes for some 64bit issues,
        mostly from a patch by Laramie Leavitt <lar@leavitt.us>.

Tue Jul 1 21:24:14 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: fix leaks.

2003-07-01  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c (mono_async_invoke): Use mono_g_hash_table_remove when
        using MonoGHashTables.  Fixes threadpool bug posted to list.

        Fixes bug 45321.

Wed Jun 25 18:12:29 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: in mono_array_class_get (), lookup from the hash with the
        same type we insert: this works around a bug in
        mono_metadata_type_hash() with SZARRAY and fixes a leak reported by
        lluis. The real fix will have to wait for after the release.

Wed Jun 25 13:14:41 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: fix memory leak when getting type members.

        * class.c: handle field offset correctly when class size
        is set (bug# 45182, partially from a patch by jlaban@wanadoo.Fr (Jerome Laban)).

2003-06-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug-debugger.h (MonoDebuggerSymbolFile): Added `MonoImage
        *image' field.

2003-06-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * mono-debug.h (MONO_DEBUG_VAR_ADDRESS_MODE_STACK): Removed.  We
        just distinguish between variables in registers and variables at
        an offset relative to a register.

2003-06-20  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: #ifdef out latest changes until mcs is fixed.

Thu Jun 19 11:03:42 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: return members in metadata order.

Wed Jun 18 15:26:58 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        when creating arrays.

2003-06-17  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * file-io.h:
        * file-io.c: File attributes need to be tweaked slightly when
        passed from the managed to the w32 world.

2003-06-17  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>
        * profiler.h profiler-private.h profiler.c: Rework last patch
        based on suggestion by Paolo.
        
2003-06-17  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * profiler.h profiler-private.h profiler.c: Added infrastructure for 
        instruction level coverage data collection.
        * profiler.h profiler.c (: Added new callback function which can be
        used by the profiler to limit which functions should have coverage
        instrumentation.
        * profiler.c (mono_profiler_load): Call g_module_build_path to
        generate the file name of the profiler library.

Mon Jun 16 18:11:13 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * profiler.c, profiler.h, profiler-private.h: added basic block 
        coverage profiling API.

2003-06-15  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_create_runtime_class): Add support
        for events in dynamically generated code.

        * gc.c: Start GCHandle indexes from 1, since 0 means the handle is
        not allocated.

Sat Jun 14 19:01:32 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: when getting timezone info, return reasonable values if we
        can't get the actual data.

2003-06-14  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c (start_wrapper): Remove the reference to the thread
        object in the TLS data, so the thread object can be finalized.
        This won't be reached if the thread threw an uncaught exception,
        so those thread handles will stay referenced :-( (This is due to
        missing support for scanning thread-specific data in the Boehm GC
        - the io-layer keeps a GC-visible hash of pointers to TLS data.)

Sat Jun 14 13:16:17 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: ensure streams and tables are first allocated with
        ALLOC_ATOMIC (GC_realloc uses plain GC_malloc otherwise).

Sat Jun 14 13:13:20 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: fixed GetElementType for byrefs (bug# 44792).

        * object.c: some support to handle out of memory exceptions.

2003-06-12  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_native_wrapper): support reference
        return types

Wed Jun 11 18:32:51 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.h, object.c: more portability stuff from Bernie Solomon.
        Unexport mono_object_allocate(). Added mono_object_unbox ().
        Set exitcode when an unhandled exception is thrown.

2003-06-11  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_native_wrapper): use custom
        marshaler for return types.

2003-06-10  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * socket-io.c: Don't assume that one of struct ip_mreqn or struct
        ip_mreq is available

Tue Jun 10 17:35:03 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * debug-mono-symfile.c, marshal.c, metadata.c, monitor.c,
        mono-debug-debugger.c, mono-debug.c, process.c: portability fixes

2003-06-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * gc.c (mono_gc_init): Avoid error message on shutdown when
        GC_DONT_GC=1 is used.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Reflection_Module_GetGuidInternal): 
        New icall to return the GUID of a module.

Mon Jun 9 19:33:51 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: ensure instance size always includes the parent's size
        even whem class size is set explicitly (fixes bug#44294).

Thu Jun 5 19:51:49 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * profiler.h, profiler.c: made the simple profiler thread-safe,
        get more accurate timing info. Allow the loading of an
        externally-developed profiler module.

2003-06-05  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_native_wrapper): improved
        class/byref arguments.
        (mono_marshal_get_native_wrapper): better string marshaling support.

Wed Jun 4 18:01:22 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        parts of the class libs (like System.Thread) holds pointers to

        finishing up, because the default domain has already been
        destroyed.

2003-05-11  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * string-icalls.c (ves_icall_System_String_ctor_chara_int_int): if

        (mono_unhandled_exception): fill in the arguments for the

        (mono_gc_push_all_stacks): New public function; tells the garbage
        collector about the stack pointers from all managed threads.

Wed Apr 2 18:37:35 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: set table_idx in MonoReflectionArrayMethod object even 
        if the array method was already assigned a token (fixes bug#40646).

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

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_get_type): Attempt type resolve even

          generation of output parameters.
          ves_icall_Remoting_RealProxy_GetTransparentProxy: added support for interfaces.
        * marshal.c: mono_remoting_wrapper(): avoided call through proxy when the type is

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

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

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

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

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

        * appdomain.c:
        (set_domain_search_path): allow 'file://blah'. It's an invalid URI,
        the right one is 'file:///blah', but MS allows it.
        * assembly.c:
        (mono_assembly_open): allow 'file://blah'

        Fixes bug #40306. Thanks to Mitko Iliev (imitko@openlinksw.co.uk).

        * socket-io.c: fixes bug #40310.

2003-03-25  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

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

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

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

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

2003-03-22  Pedro Mart?nez Juli?  <yoros@wanadoo.es>

        * icall.c: Deleted "ToString" implementation for double and float
        because they are full implemented in managed code.

Wed Mar 19 18:05:57 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c, reflection.h: implemented and exported functions
        to retrieve info about custom attributes.

2003-03-19  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c: moved Uri handling to assembly.c
        * assembly.c: use g_filename_from_uri (). This makes assembly.LoadFrom
        work when using a file Uri in *nix and windows.

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

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

        * icall.c: Rename a couple of internal calls

        * threads.c: Set the thread state to Stopped when a thread exits.
        Fixes bug 39377.

2003-03-17  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Reflection_FieldInfo_internal_from_handle):

        order.
        (mono_reflection_setup_internal_class): Initialize supertypes field.

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

        * class.h class.c: Move the supertypes array initialization code into 
        a separate function so it can be used for dynamic types too. Also call
        it earlier, in mono_class_init(), since it can be used before the
        type is initialized.

2003-03-16  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Makefile.am:
        * assembly.c:

2003-03-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * class.c (mono_marshal_load_type_info): Fix buglet:  Noticed when
        fixing a warning for a miss-used prototype, would have cause
        random memory corruption.

2003-03-07  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_free_array): That "TESTFREE %p" was
        getting really annoying ....

2003-03-07  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * reflection.c (fixup_method): added support for array methods.

Tue Mar 4 18:03:27 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * socket-io.c:  handle case when AF_INET6 and AF_IPX are not defined
        (pointed out by Michael Adams).

2003-03-04  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: Temporarily reverted the Double and Single ToString()
        change, because it broke nunit.

Tue Mar 4 12:40:58 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.h, threads.h: make include files compatible with C++
        (patch by Jerome Laban <jlaban@wanadoo.fr>).

2003-03-04  Pedro Mart?nez Juli?  <yoros@wanadoo.es>

        * icall.c: Erased ToString helper functions for Double and Single.
        Now, that implementations ar all in managed code (Double and Single
        Formatters).

2003-03-03  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ideary.com>

        * appdomain.c: Added method for initializing the default context of
        a domain. Added internal call for getting the default context.
        * appdomain.h: Added context variable in MonoDomain struct.
        * domain.c: mono_domain_set also sets the default context of the domain
        * icall.c: Mapped internal method InternalGetDefaultContext.
        * object.c: mono_object_get_virtual_method returns always a remoting
        wrapper if the object is a transparent proxy.
        mono_runtime_invoke_array: when creating an object by calling the
        constructor, if the created object is a proxy, then the constructor should
        be called using the a remoting wrapper.

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

        * socket-io.c (create_sockaddr_from_object): Rename sockaddr_un
        variable so it compiles on solaris.  Problem spotted by
        Christopher Taylor <ct@cs.clemson.edu>

2003-03-01  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c:
        (get_info_from_assembly_name): don't leak value.

        * icall.c:
        (ves_icall_System_Reflection_Assembly_GetFilesInternal): initialize
        result.

Sat Mar 1 15:32:56 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c: export mono_image_load_references ().
        * class.c: handle function pointers. mono_class_from_name() now
        supports nested type names directly.

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

        * reflection.h reflection.c: Encode already created dynamic methods 
        and fields correctly as a DEF instead of a REF.

        * reflection.c: Get rid of the force_ref argument to 
        mono_image_typedef_or_ref since it was wrong in the first place.

        * string-icalls.c: add error checking to string constructors according
        to the MSDN docs.

        * reflection.c: Emit types in the order their TypeBuilders were 
        created. Previously, a new table index was assigned to each type before
        the tables were emitted. This was wrong because the signature blob
        might already refer to a type by its original table index.

2003-02-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_nesting_typedef): fix bug in previous
        change.
        
2003-02-27  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Makefile.am: make assemblies dir have \ instead of / on windows.

2003-02-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>  

        * metadata.c metadata.h (mono_metadata_nesting_typedef): changed to
        iterate over the NESTEDCLASS table using a linear search since the
        table is not guaranteed to be sorted by the secondary key.

        * class.c (mono_class_create_from_typedef): fixed up call to
        mono_metadata_nesting_typedef.
        
2003-02-27  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_string_to_byvalstr): clear the memory as
        suggested by Jerome Laban <jlaban@wanadoo.fr>

2003-02-26  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * process.c: Cope with padding in .rsrc blocks

2003-02-26  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * metadata.h: reverted the filter_len change, it breaks reflection
        
2003-02-26  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * metadata.h: added a new field to store the filter_len
        

Tue Feb 25 10:56:16 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: handle custom attributes for types and members
        created with Reflection.Emit (bug#38422).

2003-02-21  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * object.h icall.c process.c: fix warnings.

2003-02-21  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * appdomain.h appdomain.c:
        (mono_domain_try_type_resolve): split the 
        name_or_tb argument into a name and a tb argument.
        (mono_domain_has_type_resolve): new function to check whenever the
        application has registered a TypeResolve event handler.
        
        * icall.c reflection.h reflection.c: move the type resolve logic into
        mono_reflection_get_type () so it will be invoked when 
        Assembly::GetType () is called.

        * reflection.c:
        (mono_reflection_get_type): renamed to get_type_internal.
        (mono_reflection_get_type): fixed type name generation so it works 
        for nested types too.
        (mono_reflection_get_type): call has_type_resolve () to avoid the 
        costly type name generation if there is no resolve event handler.

Fri Feb 21 11:36:57 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c, image.c: load exported types from file references.

2003-02-19  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ideary.com>

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

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

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

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

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

        * reflection.c:
        (assembly_name_to_aname): jump over unknown properties (i've found
        something like: 'type, assembly, version=xxx, custom=null, public...',
        so now will ignore custom=null and still get the rest of the values).

2003-02-17  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c: Have Thread.Start() wait for a semaphore to signal
        that the thread has set up all its local data.  This fixes bug
        34323, where Abort() raced the new thread's TLS data.

        Also removes the handle_store() call from start_wrapper, because
        threads are now always created suspended and there is no longer a
        race between the parent and child threads to store the info.

Mon Feb 17 13:13:31 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * image.c: explain the #- heap issue in a message, hopefully
        avoiding FAQs on mono-list.

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

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

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

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

        * metadata.c, reflection.c: simple speedup to type hash
        and equals code.

Sat Feb 15 15:15:03 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * image.c, image.h, class.c, assembly.c: move module loading
        to MonoImage. When loading metadata, consider alignemnet from
        the start of metadata, not from the metadata address in memory.

2003-02-13  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_get_custom_attrs): Added support for 
        AssemblyBuilder objects. Factored out custom attribute creation into
        a separate function.
        (create_custom_attr): new function to create custom attributes.

2003-02-12  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Makefile.am: Got tired of typing the full pathname to pedump.
        Until there is another option, am installing this.

2003-02-12  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * class.c (class_compute_field_layout): always set field->parent 
        (mono_ldtoken): use mono_defaults.fieldhandle_class;

2003-02-11  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads-types.h:
        * monitor.c: Rewrote Monitor, making lock much faster and
        Pulse/Wait work as specified.  Also uses much fewer handles, and only
        creates them as needed.

        * exception.c: Added SynchronizationLockException

        * threads.c: Deleted old Monitor implementation.  The new one is
        in a new file.

Mon Feb 10 17:54:10 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: handled TypedReference type code. Set the correct size for
        class data. Setup interface_offsets for interface classes, too.

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.h: Reflect latest symbol writer changes.

        * icall.c: Added "System.Math::Floor", "System.Math::Round" and
        "System.Math::Round2".
        * sysmath.h: Added Floor, Round and Round2 definitions.
        * sysmath.c: Modified certain functions that were not 100% compliant
        with MS.NET (math precision) and added the implementation of Floor,
        Round and Round2.

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.c (mono_debug_symfile_add_method): Ignore interncalls.

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Reflected latest symwriter changes.

        (mono_load_remote_field_new): used by the new jit
        instead of mono_load_remote_field

2003-02-05  Patrik Torstensson

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

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

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

2003-02-03  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

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

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

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

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

        * reflection.c (reflection_methodbuilder_to_mono_method): set
        pinvoke flag

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

        * icall.c: implemented ves_icall_MonoMethod_get_base_definition.

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

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

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

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

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_native_wrapper): add check for null
        (fix pinvoke12.exe)

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

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

Tue Jan 28 18:55:19 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * profiler.c: provide more callers information.

2003-01-28  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_native_wrapper): generate valid IL code

2003-01-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * icall.c: (ves_icall_System_CurrentTimeZone_GetTimeZoneData): raise an
        exception instead of going into an infinite loop on dates which it 
        can't yet handle.

        * string-icalls.c (ves_icall_System_String_get_Chars): raise 
        out-of-range exception if needed.

        * class.c (mono_class_setup_vtable): allow a virtual method to provide
        an implementation for an interface method and to override an inherited
        method at the same time. 
        Imagine a scenario when a virtual method is used to override a
        virtual abstract method in a parent class, and this same method 
        provides an implementation for an method inherited from an interface. 
        In this case, the interface resolution code will set im->slot, which 
        means that the virtual method override pass will skip this method 
        which means a pointer to the abstract method inherited from the parent
        will remain in the vtable of this non-abstract class.

        * class.c: (mono_class_setup_vtable): continue search for a real 
        method if only an abstract method is found.     

Mon Jan 27 17:12:19 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: add size to encoding for ByValStr and ByValArray
        marshal blob (from "Jerome Laban" <jlaban@wanadoo.fr>).

2003-01-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * class.c (mono_class_setup_vtable): pass the override info as an
        argument.

        * class.c (mono_class_setup_vtable): set the slot of overriding methods
        correctly.
        
        * reflection.c (ensure_runtime_vtable); add support for method 
        overrides.
        
2003-01-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * reflection.c (resolution_scope_from_image): Hack to work to work with
        dynamic assemblies.

        * reflection.c (mono_image_typedef_or_ref): renamed to ..._aux and 
        added a 'force_ref' argument to force this function to allways return 
        a TypeRef. This is needed by mono_image_get_memberref_token ().
        
2003-01-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * reflection.c (mono_image_get_type_info): interfaces really don't have
        a parent.

        * reflection.c (mono_image_basic_init): fill out missing fields of
        image structure.

        * reflection.c (mono_image_basic_init): Invoke assembly load hooks for 
        dynamic assemblies. This is required so dynamic assemblies show up in
        AppDomain.GetAssemblies (), emit an AssembyLoadEvent, gets searched by
        Type::GetType() etc. This is consistent with MS behaviour.

        * image.c image.h reflection.c: add newly created classes to the name 
        cache so mono_class_get () will find them.      

2003-01-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        First part of changes to get IKVM.NET running under mono.
        
        * appdomain.h, appdomain.c: added new function 
        mono_domain_try_type_resolve() which will emit TypeResolve events. 
        This function will call AppDomain::DoTypeResolve to do the actual work.

        * class.h, class.c, loader.c, object.c, reflection.h, reflection.c: 
        moved existing code dealing with dynamic tokens to a new function 
        called mono_reflection_lookup_dynamic_token (). This function will 
        raise TypeResolve events when appropriate. Since reflection.c is not 
        part of libmetadata, a new hook function called 
        mono_lookup_dynamic_token() is added to class.c which will call this.

        * assembly.h assembly.c: make the invoke_load_hook function public,
        so it can be called for dynamic assemblies.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Runtime_CompilerServices_RuntimeHelpers_RunClassConstructor): skip interfaces since they do not have initializers.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_type_from_name): emit a TypeResolve event if the 
        type isn't found.

        * reflection.c reflection.h: change MonoDynamicAssembly.tokens to a 
        MonoGHashTable, since it contains pointers to objects which the GC 
        needs to track.

        * assembly.c (search_loaded): remove unused variable.
        
Mon Jan 27 12:18:45 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.c: fixed issue exposed by gcc-generated IL programs
        that use RVA data for pointers.

2003-01-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * threads.c (start_wrapper): Moved the initialization of
        `start_func' above the mono_new_thread_init() call to which we
        pass it as argument.

2003-01-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * threads.h (MonoThreadCallbacks): Pass the thread ID instead of
        the MonoThread pointer.

2003-01-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: Rename `PowImpl' to Pow.

2003-01-23  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c (start_wrapper): Create a Thread object if needed, so
        the Main() thread can do the class initialisation in a subthread
        that has been set up to allow managed code execution.

        Pass the thread ID instead of the MonoThread pointer to the thread
        start and attach callbacks.  This change is required, because the
        jit thread start callback must be called _before_ the Thread
        object can be created.
        
        (mono_thread_init): Removed much object creation code that is no
        longer needed.  No managed code is called from here now.

        * object.c (mono_runtime_exec_managed_code): Create a subthread
        for Main, and call back to the runtime to use it.
        Set the exit code when Main exits.

        * gc.c: Make sure domain finalisation happens in a subthread.
        Re-enable threaded GC, fixing bug 31333 (again).

        * environment.c: System.Environment internall calls (so far just
        ExitCode is here, the others are still in icall.c)

        * appdomain.c (mono_runtime_cleanup): All threads running managed
        code should have finished before mono_runtime_cleanup() is
        reached, so no need to clean up threads.

2003-01-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.h (MonoThreadStartCB): Added `MonoThread *thread' and
        `gpointer func' arguments.      
        (MonoThreadAttachCB): New typedef; like the old MonoThreadStartCB,
        but added `MonoThread *thread' argument.
        (mono_runtime_init): The last argument is now a MonoThreadAttachCB.

        * threads.c (mono_new_thread_init): Added `gpointer func' argument
        and pass it to the mono_thread_start_cb callback.
        (mono_install_thread_callbacks): New public function to install a
        set of callbacks which are set by the debugger.
        (mono_thread_init): The last argument is now a MonoThreadAttachCB.

2003-01-22  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * Makefile.am: Install debug-mono-symfile.h.

2003-01-21  Aleksey Demakov <avd@openlinksw.com>

        * marshal.c: fixed copy_from_managed and copy_to_unmanaged for 0 length.

2003-01-21  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * added the following fix from Jackson Harper <jackson@latitudegeo.com>
        * class.c (mono_ptr_class_get): correctly set access levels of pointers
        (mono_array_class_get): correctly set access levels of arrays

2003-01-20      Patrik Torstensson
        * image.h (MonoAssemblyName): changed major, minor, build, revision
        from signed to unsigned.

2003-01-20  sean kasun <skasun@azstarnet.com>

        * reflection.c (load_cattr_value): Now this handles
        MONO_TYPE_SZARRAY.  Fixes bug #35629

2003-01-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (emit_struct_conv): Handle MONO_TYPE_PTR as an
        integer value

2003-01-18  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * decimal.c: fixed bug #26056.

        thrown invoking the class constructor.

2003-01-16  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: fixed attribute reading.

2003-01-15  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c:
        (ves_icall_type_from_name): make it work as MS. Ie, if no assembly name
        provided, look for the type in the calling assembly and then in
        mscorlib; if the assembly name is provided, only try that one.

Tue Jan 14 14:52:52 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.c: register the vtable before there is a chance it's
        queried again recursively.

2003-01-13  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Makefile.am (libmonoruntime_la_SOURCES): Change gc.h to

        * icall.c, rand.c, rand.h: Prepended RNG functions with Internal.

2003-01-09  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: added ves_icall_System_Activator_CreateInstanceInternal. Used
        to get value types.
        
Thu Jan 9 19:43:11 CET 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.c, profiler.h, profiler.c, profiler-private.h:

        * loader.c: fixed off by one error in loaded parameter names.

2003-01-08  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_icall_wrapper): like
        mono_marshal_get_native_wrapper, but simpler and use a MonoMethodSignature
        instead of a MonoMethod.

2003-01-07  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

2002-12-31  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Completely rewrote the type section.
        Instead of using individual malloc()ed fields, we use one big
        continuous memory area and offsets into this area.
        See the comments in the source code for details.

2002-12-30  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        g_build_filename to properly get separators on the filename created.

        * object.h: Small change, introduce MonoMarshalByRefObject to

2002-12-19  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * threads.c: fixed the build under cygwin.

Wed Dec 18 18:43:47 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: handle nullref constants. Allocate keys for
        reflection handles with the GC.

Wed Dec 18 11:34:18 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: added WriteWindowsDebugString internal call.

2002-12-15  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * reflection.h: added fields to match C# implementation.

2002-12-14  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: patch from Jaroslaw Kowalski to fix Environment.MachineName.

2002-12-12  Juli Mallett  <jmallett@FreeBSD.org>

        * gc.h, gc-internal.h: Rename header for GC internal calls to
        gc-internal.h from gc.h as to not clash with Boehm GC having its
        header installed as <gc.h> in outside include paths.
        * appdomain.c, gc.c, icall.c, object.c: Account for aforementioned.
        * threads.c: If SIGRTMIN is not defined, fall back to SIGUSR1.

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

        * icall.c: assign minor, build and revision in FillName.

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

        (mono_image_close): free some hashtables.

2002-12-05  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * threads.c (ves_icall_System_Threading_Thread_Abort): we use SIGRTMIN 
        instead of SIGUSR1, because SIGUSR1 is used by the pthread implementation 
        on some systems (redhat 7.3) 

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

        * threads.c: delete the critical section of a sync block,
        spotted and fixed by tum@veridicus.com (Thong (Tum) Nguyen).

Thu Dec 5 12:52:52 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * pedump.c, cil-coff.h, monosn.c: add strong name cli header flag.

2002-12-05  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.[ch]: handle the assembly preload event to try loading the
        assemblies using the paths we have in the current domain.

        * assembly.[ch]: created an assembly preload hook that is called to try
        loading the assembly by other means that the ones provided here.

        * domain.c: initialize the domain search path.

        From now on, assemblies (TODO: except corlib and System) are loaded
        according to these rules when using mono_assembly_load ():

                1. It tries to load the assembly from the ApplicationBase
                of the current domain appending .dll and .exe (TODO: have to
                try loading from name/name.dll and name/name.exe).

                2. It tries the search path specified in PrivateBinPath for the
                current domain (if any).

                3. Previous behavior.

Wed Dec 4 16:02:25 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: implemented GetInterfaceMap() related icall.

        * gc.c: disable the finalizer thread for now, untill all the issues
        with it are resolved.

Wed Dec 4 10:44:01 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * string-icalls.c: handle embedded nulls in string ctor when the
        length is specified.

Tue Dec 3 19:29:20 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: look for explicit interface implementation in parent
        classes, too.

2002-12-03  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * gc.c (run_finalize): dont run the finalizer (strange behaviour on rh7.3) 

Tue Dec 3 12:40:06 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * gc.c: protect handles with a critical section.

2002-12-02  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c:
        (ves_icall_type_from_name): it now has throwOnError and ignoreCase
        parameters. If no assembly specified, try getting the type from all
        the assemblies in the current domain, else, load the assembly and get
        the type from it.

2002-11-30  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c: applied patch from Aleksey Demakov that fixes
        ves_icall_System_Runtime_InteropServices_Marshal_PtrToStringUni.

2002-11-28  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: fixed get_location.

2002-11-28  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: moved MONO_ARCH_SAVE_REGS to the end of the
        declarations to make it work with older gcc. 

        * loader.c (mono_get_method): set signature->pinvoke for native calls

2002-11-20  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c (mono_thread_init): Set the main thread's handle

Tue Nov 19 14:15:34 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * gc.c: allow compilation without GC support. Changed to match the
        mono coding style.

Mon Nov 18 18:41:51 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * gc.c: don't start the finalizer thread if the env var GC_DONT_GC is set.

Mon Nov 18 16:35:22 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: set a public key token on the core assemblies.

2002-11-18  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c: Split out some thread initialisation so that other
        files can set the start callback function.

        * gc.c: Run finalisers in a separate thread, to avoid stack
        overflow.  Fixes bug 31333.

        * appdomain.c: Set up GC finalisation thread.

        * reflection.c: 
        * object.c: 
        * domain.c: Use gc.h macros for GC_malloc
        
2002-11-15  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threadpool.c: 
        * threads.c:
        * appdomain.c: Removed mono_runtime_init_with_attach(),
        mono_thread_create_arg(), and mono_thread_init_with_attach(), by
        merging the extra parameter with the existing function.  Removed
        unneeded code in mono_thread_attach().

2002-11-14  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * image.c (mono_image_loaded_by_guid): a method to get loaded
        images by guid. 
        (load_metadata_ptrs): we store the guid as string.

2002-11-11  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c (mono_assembly_open): check the guid of aot compiled lib.

        * metadata.c (mono_guid_to_string): imported method form Zoltan
        Varga (slightly modified)

        * assembly.c (mono_assembly_open): load precompiled code

        aot compiler. 

2002-11-07  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c: insert the loaded assemblies in the domain->assemblies in
        the hook function called when an assembly is loaded.
        
        * domain.c: Modified file.
        (mono_domain_assembly_load): removed hash table insertion of assemblies.

        Fixes bug #33196.

2002-11-07  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: Map PEFileKind to the value expected by the WinNT
        image loader. 

2002-11-06  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * rand.c: use /dev/urandom. If it fails to open, use the previous one.
        Read until the buffer is filled completely.

2002-11-04  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: implemented MonoType.InternalGetEvent ().

2002-11-04  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c: implemented InitAppDomainSetup. Delayed
        AppDomain.SetupInformation until mono_runtime_exec_main, where we get
        the entry_assembly.

        * assembly.c: base_dir is now an absolute path ending with
        G_DIR_SEPARATOR.

        * icall.c: modified get_location according to the above changes.

        * object.c: init AppDomain.SetupInformation for the default domain after
        we have the entry assembly.

        * domain.c: when unloading a domain, setup = NULL.

2002-11-04  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c (emit_ptr_to_str_conv): try to fix bug 29548

Sun Nov 3 15:39:28 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.h, object.c: introduced mono_object_get_virtual_method ()
        to lookup the method invoked on an object when a callvirt is done on
        a method.
        * icall.c: make MethodInfo::Invoke() always do a virtual call.

2002-11-03  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c: invoke AssemblyLoad and AsemblyResolve events in the
        current domain when loaded an assembly and failed to load it.

        * icall.c: changed ...Assembly_GetType to Assembly_InternalGetType.

2002-10-31  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: 
        * file-io.h: 
        * file-io.c: Return the error status in a parameter, as the
        GetLastError() value has long since been blown away if we try and
        look it up in a subsequent internal call invocation.  Delete the
        GetLastError() internal call, because it's useless.

2002-10-31  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * class.[ch]: added cast_class to fix bug 29517

Wed Oct 30 19:37:32 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * marshal.c: create valid IL code in the filter clause:
        the new JIT is less forgiving:-)

2002-10-29  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: removed get_property internal call.

2002-10-25  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * appdomain.h domain.c: Added an ID to appdomains.
        
        * threads.c threads.h icall.c: Implement icall
        Thread:GetDomainID(), and remove unused icall 
        CurrentThreadDomain_internal.

2002-10-24  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: Don't recurse through the base types in GetConstructor.
        Fixes bug #32063. 

Thu Oct 24 16:56:00 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * mempool.h, mempool.c: added mono_mempool_empty() and
        mono_mempool_stats().

2002-10-23  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * file-io.c: 
        * file-io.h: 
        * icall.c: Added MonoIO.GetFileType internal call

2002-10-17  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c (mono_runtime_cleanup): Don't signal the async
        delegate semaphore before waiting for all threads to finish,
        because new threads can also call async delegates.  Fixes bug
        32004.

        * threadpool.c (async_invoke_thread): Only wait for 500ms instead
        of 3 seconds, in case another async job is queued.  (This part is
        needed because the bug fix reintroduced the 3s exit lag.)  This
        makes the mono_runtime_shutdown flag superfluous.

Thu Oct 17 13:11:39 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: include ehader size in method section headers.
        Really check for suplicated modules entries.

2002-10-17  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Added back support for locals.

2002-10-14  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Added MONO_TYPE_I, MONO_TYPE_U and
        MONO_TYPE_VOID.

2002-10-14  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-mono-symfile.c (ves_icall_MonoDebugger_GetType): Use
        mono_class_get() instead of looking in the class cache. 

2002-10-13  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Set version number to 28, include the
        signature in method names.

2002-10-13  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-mono-symfile.h: Set version number to 27.

Thu Oct 10 14:56:51 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c, metadata.h: added helper function to allocate signatures.

2002-10-09  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: added internal call to get the location of machine.config.

2002-10-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Ignore classes with a pending init for the
        moment.

2002-10-03  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c: Freebsd pthread_t is a pointer

2002-10-03  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * socket-io.c: Implemented GetHostName_internal

2002-10-02  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * mono-config.c:
        (mono_config_parse_file): don't leak the text.

2002-10-02  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Added support for methods.

2002-10-01  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Don't emit methods and line numbers for
        the dynamic symbol file, just write the type table.  We can easily
        have an external helper program which creates a symbol file for an
        IL file.        

2002-10-01  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c (ves_icall_System_Threading_Thread_Start_internal):
        Only add the handle to the cleanup array when we're about to
        launch the thread.  Bug 31425 deadlocked when the test was run on
        mono under w32.

2002-10-01  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Added support for properties.

Fri Sep 27 18:55:01 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: unaligned store fix from Mark Crichton
        <crichton@gimp.org>.

2002-09-27  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

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

Fri Sep 27 15:38:31 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * assembly.h, assembly.c: use a sane API to hook into the assembly
        loading process instead of a useless special-purpouse hack
        (ngen needs a hook, too, for example).

2002-09-27  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c (mono_thread_init): Call GetCurrentProcess() so
        io-layer can set up some process handle info.  Not needed on w32,
        but doesn't hurt either.

        * process.c: Pass the program name in the second parameter to
        CreateProcess, so the path is searched.  Include the working
        directory. Implemented process name, process enumeration, and some
        process detail internal calls.
        
        * icall.c: Added internal calls for process lookup, and some
        process details

2002-09-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * assembly.c (mono_install_open_assembly_hook): New global
        function to install a function to be invoked each time a new
        assembly is loaded.
        (mono_assembly_open): Run this callback function if set.

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Put back line numbers for the dynamic
        symbol file and also record the .il file as source file.  This
        allows us to install the temporary symbol file as `file.dbg' just
        like a compiler-generated one.

2002-09-26  Nick Zigarovich <nick@chemlab.org>

        * Corrected typo in gc.c (BOHEM vs BOEHM).

2002-09-25  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: fixed bug #31235 by copying a few lines from GetMethods to
        GetProperties. Also avoid calling g_slist_length in GetProperties and
        GetMethods.

Wed Sep 25 22:18:03 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * reflection.c: avoid unaligned stores (bug spotted by
        Mark Crichton  <crichton@gimp.org>).

2002-09-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-mono-symfile.h (MonoSymbolFileMethodAddress): Use pointers
        instead of guint64 for addresses and added prologue/epilogue info.

2002-09-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-mono-symfile.h (MonoDebugLineNumberEntry): New type to
        store line number info.  For the dynamic symbol file, we only need
        to provide the JIT generated dynamic line number info for the dynamic
        symbol file.

2002-09-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-mono-symfile.h: Incremented version number.

2002-09-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * class.c (mono_debugger_class_init_func): New global function
        pointer variable.
        (mono_class_init): If mono_debugger_class_init_func is non-NULL,
        call it.

        * debug-mono-symfile.c (mono_debug_symfile_add_type): New
        function.  This is called via the mono_debugger_class_init_func
        hook to add all types to the dynamic type table.
        (ves_icall_MonoDebugger_GetType): New interncall to get a class
        from its metadata token.

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

2002-09-24  Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_Enum_ToObject): validate the type parameter
        before using it in case it is null.
        
Tue Sep 24 13:24:56 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c: allow custom modifiers in local var signatures
        (bug spotted by Zoltan Varga).

Tue Sep 24 12:12:16 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: deal with the <Module> class that may have a NULL vtable.
        Eliminate warnings.

Tue Sep 24 11:28:46 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * image.c, image.h: more strong name helpers.
        * monosn.c: more work: convert pem keys to cryptoapi format.

Tue Sep 24 11:27:38 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * string-icalls.c: speedup IndexOf.

Tue Sep 24 11:17:13 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: updates from Zoltan.2.Varga@nokia.com.

Tue Sep 24 11:09:17 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * icall.c: cleanup: use mono_object_domain ().

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Largely reworked the symbol table format.
        The symbol table is now incrementally updated each time a new
        method is added.  We're now also using our own magic and version
        so that you don't need to recompile all your classes if the
        dynamic table changes.
        (mono_debug_update_mono_symbol_file): Removed.
        (mono_debug_symfile_add_method): New function to add a method.

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

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

        interncall to get a method from its metadata token.

2002-09-20  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Added a few checks for method->header
        being non-NULL.  This should never happen, but for the moment
        let's use a g_warning() rather than a g_assert().

2002-09-19  Mark Crichton  <crichton@gimp.org>

        * gc.c: ves_icall_System_GCHandle_FreeHandle made a call to libgc
        even if support for it isn't present.  Added an #ifdef to fix this.

        * socket-io.c: Added checks back for Solaris support.

2002-09-19  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

2002-09-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * gc.c: Call GC_unregister_disappearing_link() on all links when
        finalizing them, this is necessary to aviod a crash in boehm's
        finalize handler.

Tue Sep 10 11:58:46 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.h, class.c: move field layout code to it's own function and
        export it. Get an interface id earlier. Move fields in MonoClass
        so they are more cache friendly and align the bitfields.
        * loader.c: temporary handle get_param_names() for a runtime method.
        * reflection.c, reflection.h: more code to handle runtime creation of
        types.

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

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_native_wrapper): We need to use a special

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

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

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

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

        call this to get a MonoDebugMethodInfo from a MonoMethod.

        * debug-symfile.[ch]: Removed.

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

        check (fixes bug #29486) 

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.c: Changed the file format in a way that allows us
        open it read-only and to use a specially malloced area for all the
        dynamic data.  We can now also generate a symbol file on-the-fly if we're
        debugging IL code and there is no MCS generated symbol file for it.

Mon Aug 26 16:47:37 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * object.c: added a define for a good string and array
        creation speedup (not enabled by default because we need to deal with
        the synch stuff).

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.c (mono_debug_update_mono_symbol_file): New
        function to update the symbol file.  The symbol file is mmap()ed
        writable, but private.  This allows us to install the symbol file
        together with the assembly.

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

        * debug-mono-symfile.[ch]: New files.  Similar to debug-symfile.[ch]
        but they can read the new symbol file format which mcs is now creating.

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

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

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

        * icall.c: re-applied patch to GetValueInternal. Also added R4 and R8
        types to it and to SetValueInternal.

        * object.c: Moved handle_enum label to its proper place. This was the
        f... bug! ;-)

        This time i compiled mcs and gtk-sharp and they both work.

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

        * icall.c: reverted partially my previous patch until 
        object.c:set_value handles enums correcly.

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

        * icall.c:

        Liger <Jonathan.liger@wanadoo.fr>

2002-08-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

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

2002-08-21  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

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

        * marshal.c (mono_marshal_get_remoting_invoke): save lmf, because
        we call unmanaged code which throws exceptions.

Wed Aug 21 12:56:49 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.h: added per-domain entry_assembly.

2002-08-20  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

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

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

        * icall.c: added ves_icall_FieldInfo_SetValueInternal.

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

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

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

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

2002-07-04  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * threads.c (mono_thread_cleanup): Nasty kludge to get this to

        bug with the mingw developers for them to wrap OpenThread().

2002-07-03  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * appdomain.c (mono_runtime_cleanup): Close the socket library

        * debug-symfile.c (mono_debug_find_source_location): Added
        `guint32 *line_number' argument.  If it's not NULL, store the line number
        there and return the file name without the line number.

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

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

2002-04-27  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * reflection.c (mono_reflection_setup_internal_class): g_assert_not_reached()

        * assembly.c (default_assembly_name_resolver): Use G_FILE_TEST_IS_REGULAR
        instead of G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS - if you're in mcs/class/corlib/System/Test,
        there's a subdirectory called `System', but we don't want to read that
        subdirectory as an assembly.

2002-04-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * debug-symfile.c: Reflect latest MonoString changes.

Thu Apr 25 16:38:01 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        we didn't do this as an optimization since really overloaded methods
        must differ also in the arguments, but this doesn't work with
        low-level IL code (or when using explicit conversion operators: see
        bug#23498 for an example).

        slow operation).
        (ves_icall_System_Net_Sockets_Socket_SetSocketOption_internal):
        Use the appropriate struct when the system does support it. Ie,
        not all systems have struct ip_mreqn so use struct ip_mreq when

        (iconv_get_length): Same.

        * image.c (load_class_names): Cast the second argument to
        g_hash_table_insert() to char* to hush compiler warnings about the

        (mono_image_open): Same here.

        * socket-io.c: Don't conditionally include sys/filio.h or

        (inet_pton): If the system doesn't support inet_aton, implement
        using inet_addr and also #define INADDR_NONE if it isn't defined

        for FIONBIO, FIONREAD and SIOCATMARK.
        (ves_icall_System_Net_Dns_GetHostByAddr_internal): SunOS doesn't
        define INADDR_NONE and besides, inet_addr() is deprecated and
        should not be used. Use inet_pton() instead - it also has the
        added bonus that it can easily handle IPv6 addresses as well.

        * icall.c (ves_icall_appdomain_get_default_assemblies): put this
        code back.  This should return the assemblies that are loaded by
        the runtime on behalf of an application domain. 

        The current implementation is still broken, it just returns every
        assembly loaded, but until we get real applications domain this
        will do.

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

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

        * class.c: load also nested classes on class init.
        System.ValueType instance methods gets passed boxed

        * icall.c (ves_icall_System_DateTime_GetNow): impl.

Mon Dec 3 17:02:01 CET 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c: init enum types right away and register the
        token->MonoClass map in mono_class_create_from_typedef ().
        * verify.h, verify.c: first cut of the verifier.
        * pedump.c: add --verify switch to verify metadata tables.

        add mono-endian.c back

        * mono-endian.c: returned back, as Paolo pointed out, it's needed

        (mono_read64): ditto

        interp.

2001-11-29  Radek Doulik  <rodo@ximian.com>

        * object.c (mono_ldstr): swap bytes here, it's probably not the
        best place, but works for me now, I'll redo it once I know mono
        better, also note that I add PROT_WRITE and don't reset back, also
        note that it's only affects big endians, so x86 should be OK

        * mono-endian.h (read16): use just glib macros for both endians

        * mono-endian.c: removed as glib macros are used in in
        mono-endian.h so we don't need to care about endianess for read
        macros as glib does that for us already

Thu Nov 29 18:20:58 CET 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.h, class.h: take minimum alignment into consideration so

        a single file that uses the new wrapper library

Mon Nov 19 11:37:14 CET 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c, class.h: add mono_install_trampoline() so that the runtime
        can register a function to create a trampoline: removes the ugly
        requirement that a runtime needed to export arch_create_jit_trampoline.
        * object.h, object.c: added mono_install_handler() so that the runtime
        can install an handler for exceptions generated in C code (with
        mono_raise_exception()). Added C struct for System.Delegate.
        * pedump.c: removed arch_create_jit_trampoline.
        * reflection.c: some cleanups to allow registering user strings and
        later getting a token for methodrefs and fieldrefs before the assembly
        is built.
        * row-indexes.h: updates and fixes from the new ECMA specs.

Thu Nov 15 17:44:49 CET 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        to get index in the constant table reated to a field, param or
        property.
        * reflection.h, reflection.c: handle constructors. Set public-key and
        version number of the built assembly to 0.
        * row-indexes.h: update from new ECMA spec.

Wed Nov 14 19:26:06 CET 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.h, class.c: add a max_interface_id to MonoClass.
        * icall.c: rename my_mono_new_object() to my_mono_new_mono_type()
        since it's used to do that. Added mono_type_type_from_obj().
        Make GetType() return NULL instead of segfaulting if the type was not
        found. Handle simple arrays in assQualifiedName.
        * object.h: add a struct to represent an Exception.
        * reflection.c: output call convention in method signature.

        * decimal.c, decimal.h: mono_double2decimal() get the sign bit from
        the value.
        * icall.c: use mono_array_addr instead of array->vector: fixes the
        reflection image writing.
        * reflection.c: init call convention byte to 0 in method signature.
        Encode the property signature. Don't output property-related methods
        twice. Really process the properties for a type (don't cast a field to
        a property, my mom always told me that).
        Fix 64 bit issues in pointer alignment in a different and more
        readable way.

2001-11-10  Sean MacIsaac  <macisaac@ximian.com>

        * loader.h: Removed type class from MonoDefaults, added monotype

        * loader.c: Loaded MonoType, removed loading of Type

        * icall.c (my_mono_new_object): Now returns a System.MonoType,
        and fills in System.Type._impl with a RuntimeTypeHandle rather
        than the actual MonoClass *

        (ves_icall_type_from_handle): change from type_class to

        MonoString instead of MonoObject.
        * reflection.c, reflection.h: updates for changes in the reflection
        code in corlib: we use C structures that map to the actual C# classes.

        fat method header if needed and use the info from the ILGenerator for
        methods. Handle fields in types. Misc fixes.

2001-10-17  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_metadata_init): bug fix: always allocate

        * class.c (mono_class_metadata_init): interface offset table now
        contains pointers into the vtable - this is more efficient for the jit

2001-10-12  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_metadata_init): use a temporary vtable (the
        old algorithm only worked for the interpreter, but not for the jit)

2001-10-11  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * loader.c (method_from_memberref): use mono_class_get to get the
        class of an array instead of using System.Array directly.
        (mono_get_method): also add MEMBERREF methods to the method cache
        which usefull for arrays.

        * object.h, object.c: rename MonoStringObject to MonoString and
        MonoArrayObject to MonoArray. Change some function names to conform to
        the style mono_<object>_<action>. mono_string_new_utf16 () takes a
        guint16* as first argument, so don't use char*.
        Provide macros to do the interesting things on arrays in a portable way.
        * threads-pthread.c: updates for the API changes and #include <sched.h>
        (required for sched_yield()).

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

        * class.c: MonoTypes stored in MonoClass are stored as
        fundamental MonoTypes when the class represents a
        fundamental type (System.Int32, ...).
        The TypeHandle return by ldtoken is a MonoType*.
        * icall.c: ves_icall_get_data_chunk () write out all the

        * icall.c: implemented some of the Reflection internalcalls.
        * image.c, image.h: start writing out the PE/COFF image.

        System.Threading.Thread::Start_internal

        * Makefile.am: Added new files, and PTHREADS_LIBS to the link line

Mon Aug 27 12:17:17 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * loader.c, metadata.c, metadata.h: Export mono_metadata_type_equal().
        We don't need a MonoMetadata pointer anymore to compare signatures in
        mono_metadata_signature_equal (), update callers.
        Reduced memory usage an number of allocations for MonoMethodHeader and
        MonoMethodSignature.

Sun Aug 26 23:03:09 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c: added compare for szarray.

Sun Aug 26 11:34:24 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.h, class.c, loader.h, loader.c: export mono_class_from_mono_type ()
        and add a couple more types to it and mono_defaults. Give an hint on
        classes that need implementing in our corlib and are referenced
        in mscorlib.

Sat Aug 25 12:52:54 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.h, class.c: keep track if a class is also an Enum.
        * loader.c: Implement a couple more types for use in libffi
        marshalling. Gives better diagnostics when failing to dlopen
        a library. Set method->klass for P/Invoke methods, too.

Fri Aug 24 19:30:25 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * class.c, class.h: add a MonoType this_arg to MonoClass that
        represents a pointer to an object of the class' type that
        can be used by the interpreter and later the type cache.
        Add best guess alignment info for valuetype objects.

Fri Aug 24 15:50:31 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.h, metadata.c, class.h, class.c: squeezed MonoParam
        into MonoType: one less level of indirection and allocation and
        simplifies quite a bit of code. Added cache for MonoTypes that are
        used frequently, so that we don't need to allocate them all the time.

2001-08-24  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * class.c (mono_class_create_from_typedef): System.Enum is also a
        value type, although it does not derive from System.ValueType
        (maybe a bug in the ms compiler?)

        * metadata.c (mono_type_size): return the right size for value types

        * loader.c (mono_get_method): only initialize method header if not abstract

        * class.c (mono_class_from_mono_type): use mono_default values. 

2001-08-23  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * class.h: new flag: metadata_inited.

        * class.c (mono_class_metadata_init): impl.
        (mono_class_instance_size): impl.
        (mono_class_data_size): impl.

Wed Aug 22 16:27:30 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c, loader.h, loader.c, image.h, image.c, class.h, class.c:
        MonoClass now has the name and name_space fields. 
        MonoMethod has a pointer to its MonoClass, instead of MonoImage.
        mono_get_method () takes and optional MonoClass as argument.
        Removed mono_typedef_from_name() and added mono_class_token_from_name()
        instead that takes advantage of a map from class names to typedef
        tokens in MonoImage.

Tue Aug 21 18:54:58 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c: zero is not a valid alignment boundary.
        Merge MONO_TYPE_VOID in default decoding code.

2001-08-21  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * image.h: merged MonoMetadata into MonoImage

        error and one LAMESPEC. Handle MONO_TYPE_TYPEDBYREF.
        add explanation for the locator routine.
        Fix decoding of size in method header.
        
2001-08-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c    (g_concat_dir_and_file): Use _S for string concat.
        (g_concat_dir_and_file): Bring g_concat_dir_and_file
        function from gnome-libs.  This uses the right path separator
        based on the OS, and also works around a bug in some systems where
        a double slash is not allowed. 
        (default_assembly_name_resolver): Use g_concat_dir_and_file
        (mono_assembly_open): ditto.

2001-08-20  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_signature_equal): impl.

        * *: void is now a realy MonoType (instead of using NULL)
        
        * metadata.c (do_mono_metadata_parse_type): use
        mono_metadata_parse_type to parse void value.

Sat Aug 18 12:51:28 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c, metadata.h: in the signature and method header store
        only the space required for holding the loca vars and incoming arguments.

2001-08-15  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c (do_mono_metadata_parse_type): treat void like any
        other type (instead of assigning NULL);

2001-08-14  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_parse_mh): fixxed pinned/byref value

2001-08-09  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * image.c (do_mono_image_open): added a cache for arrays.

Sat Aug 4 12:46:02 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.h, metadata.c: add mono_metadata_decode_row_col () to
        decode a single column from a row in a metadata table and changes
        to take advantage of it in the typedef locator (gives a nice speed up).
        Store offset info for function params.

2001-08-02  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * image.h (MONO_IMAGE_IS_CORLIB): removed 

Wed Aug 1 22:54:08 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c: how could mono_assembly_close () had ever worked?
        * metadata.c, metadata.h: provide offset info for local vars.
        Implement mono_type_size () to take care of alignment as well
        as size (it was mono_field_type_size in cli/class.c before).

2001-08-01  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * image.h (MONO_IMAGE_IS_CORLIB): new macro to check root image

        * assembly.h (CORLIB_NAME): set to corlib.dll

        * assembly.c (mono_assembly_open): replaced strcmp() with !strcmp()

Tue Jul 31 17:54:02 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.h, metadata.c, Makefile.am, private.h, assembly.c, blob.h,
        cil-coff.h, image.c, image.h, pedump.c, rawbuffer.c, rawbuffer.h, row-indexes.h,
        tokentype.h: massive namespace cleanup.

        NULL (void) before calling mono_metadata_free_type()

Thu Jul 26 19:11:19 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.h, row_indexes.h: added header with enumerations to use
        to index in the columns from tables in metadata and to decode coded
        tokens: we should start using this instead of embedding magic numbers
        all over the code.

Thu Jul 26 13:03:27 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c, cil-coff.h, image.c, image.h, pedump.c, typedef.c:
        Move metadata_t info from cli_image_info_t to MonoImage, where
        it's easily accessible. Changed all the uses accordingly.
        Added the method and class caches to MonoImage.
        * metadata.c, metadata.h: Changed mono_metadata_decode_blob_size ()
        and mono_metadata_decode_value () signature to be more consistent
        with the other parse functions (and simplify code). Taken advantage
        of zero-length array allocation with GCC. Removed reduntant (and
        wrong) MonoFieldType struct and use MonoParam instead. Changed
        mono_metadata_parse_field_type () to use common code for parsing.
        Added mono_metadata_typedef_from_field () and
        mono_metadata_typedef_from_method () to lookup a typedef index from a
        field or method token.
        Pack the MonoRetType structure more tightly (fits in 8 bytes now).

2001-07-23  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_parse_field_type): Implement. 
        (do_mono_metadata_parse_type): Split engine from
        mono_metadata_parse_type, so that we can create smaller structures
        for things that just have one pointer to the MonoType (look at
        the MonoFieldType)

2001-07-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_parse_mh): Correct the implementation,
        as Jan Gray found out, it is incorrect. 

2001-07-18  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c: Implement asssembly loading.  This loads an image
        and loads all the referenced assemblies.  Come to think of it, we
        could always do lazy loading of the assemblies. 

        * image.c (mono_image_open): Keep loaded images in a hashtable.

        * image.h (MonoImage): Add reference count.

2001-07-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c (mono_assembly_open): Keep track of the file name in
        case the assembly has no ASSEMBLY table.

        * metadata.h: Fixed Paolo's quick hack.  Put the documnentation
        from get.c here.

Sun Jul 15 19:39:06 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c, metadata.h: decode local vars in method header
        parse function. Change callers accordingly.

Sun Jul 15 17:40:47 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metadata.h, cil-coff.h: protect against multiple inclusion.
        Added some new structures to hold information decoded from metadata:
        MonoType, MonoParam, MonoArray, MonoMethod, MonoMethodSignature
        and relevant decoding/free functions.
        * metadata.c: implement decoding functions. Add warning for out of bounds
        index in mono_metadata_locate(). Implement mono_get_method () to retreive
        all the info about a method signature and invocation. Remove check on
        uninitialized local var in parse_mh() and fix memory leak.

2001-07-12  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * metadata.h: More macros.

        * tokentype.h: New file.

Fri Jul  6 11:30:53 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c: added a consistency check and initialize
        some structures with g_new0().
        * metadata.c: fixed a couple more bugs in table size computation
        and add other checks for out-of bound access to metadata.

Thu Jul  5 22:34:21 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * metatada.c: fix bugs computing table sizes. Spew a
        warning when index in string heap is out of bounds.

2001-07-04  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * metadata.h: Add a couple of macros to manipulate tokens. 

Tue Jul  3 18:33:32 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * assembly.c: g_free(ii->cli_sections) (and avoid double free of
        cli_section_tables).

2001-07-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c (mono_metadata_user_string): New function, provides
        access to the UserString heap. 

2001-06-27  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * metadata.c: Add inline documentation.

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

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

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

        * typeattr.h: New file, TypeAttribute flags. 

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

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

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

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

        * mono/metadata/pedump.c: Improve to dump new information.

2001-06-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * mono/metadata/metadata.c: Entered all the tables matching
        Beta2. 

        * mono/metadata/assembly.c (load_metadata_ptrs): Fix for Beta2
