mono/mcs/class/PEAPI/ChangeLog

2004-04-02  Jackson Harper  <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Allow hash algorithms to be any integer.
	
2004-02-18  Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Add a class for creating instances of class refs, this
	is used for setting the class or valuetype of a types instance so the class
	reference isn't modified. Allows things like 'valuetype [mscorlib]System.Object'.
	
2003-11-18 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: If the data length for a methods seh section is
	greater then 255 use fat format headers.
	
2003-11-17 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Allow strings to be loaded as bytearrays.
	
2003-10-19 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Use bytes not bits for constant sizes.
	
2003-10-18 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Add proper support for short instructions, removing
	PEAPI's auto selection of short/long branch operations feature.
	
2003-10-10 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: New GenericMethodSig class for creating generic method
	signatures. Use this class instead of GenericTypeInst for creating
	generic methods. Fix Generic call conv. according to two of my
	docs it is 0x10 and only one says 0x50 so I will go with 0x10.
	
2003-10-09 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Add generic method Mvar type. Add MethodSpec table,
	and an Api method for adding methods to the methodspec table.
	
2003-10-08 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Remove some old hacks for adding methods to arrays,
	typespecs are used for this now. Add Generic call conv.
	
2003-10-08 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Remove methods for creating generic parameters without
	a name, names are mandatory. Add method to add type parameters to
	methods. Allow GenericParameters to have either a type or a
	method as its owner. Also fix visibility of GenericParameters, a
	GenericParameter should not be created outside of PEAPI.
	
2003-10-07 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Add unbox.any instruction.
	
2003-09-27 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Fix pinvoke attributes, zero a methods RVA if it has
	pinvoke info. This isn't entirely correct because native unmanaged
	methods can have pinvoke info and not have 0 RVAs PEAPI can't
	handle native unmanged code though. Expose the ModuleClass so
	'global' items can be referenced like this '<Module>'::foo.
	
2003-09-21 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: sigh, sometimes it is best to calculate variables
	before using them. This fixes PEAPI creating broken images when
	the sdata section is used.
	
2003-09-20 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Rework to allow multiple constraints to be added to a
	single generic parameter.
	
2003-08-19 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Make no super method public so we can have types
	with no super type.
	
2003-08-03 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: New Sentinel type.
	
2003-08-03 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Only give method definitions 0 RVAs if they are
	marked abstract.
	
2003-08-03 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Offsets are not explicit offsets, they are just
	byte offsets from the current position.

2003-07-29 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Allow labels to be created with an explicit offset
	
Fri Jul 25 19:25:31 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: added coded index for the owner field in the GenericParam
	table.

2003-07-20 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Add methods to PEFile to allow fields and methods to
	be added to type specs. This fixing bah-zillions of little
	problems in ilasm. We can now add fields and methods to arrays,
	reference types, and most importantly generics.

	Add the GenericTypeInst class. This is an instance of a generic
	type. ie Hash<int32, string>. GenericTypeSpecs now write their id
	number as a compressed number, this matches the way the runtime
	loads them and will allow generic types to have more then 255 type
	parameters.
	
2003-07-17 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Add GenericTypeSpec so generic members can be
	referenced. Add the ldelem and stelem opcodes (these are part of
	the new spec).
	
2003-07-15 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Allow generic constraints to be added, emit generic
	constraints.
		
2003-07-14 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Cleanup methods for generics, now that constraints and
	params are seperated.
		
2003-05-31 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Initial work on implementing custom
	attributes. Attributes can now be added to ClassDefs and
	MethodDefs. Still need to implement for other metadata elements.
	Added the stele.r4 and stelem.r8 instructions, this should also
	shift the stelem.ref instruction to the proper value (0xA2)
		
2003-05-25 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Create a list of vararg signatures and add them all to
	tables. this allows more then one vararg signature to be created
	per method.
		
2003-05-18 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Add methods to allow methods to be added to arrays.
		
2003-05-11 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: The class size in class layout metadata table is a
	uint not a short.
		
2003-04-05 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Add indexes to GenericParameters, make string index
	always a full 4 bytes.
		
2003-04-05 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Add GenericParameter table, and method to add generic
	parameters.
		
2003-03-15 Daniel Morgan <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.build: added file for windows build

2003-03-06 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: (ImplAttr) Add Optil implementation flag (not supported 
	in first release of CLR)
	(Class) And Name property

2003-03-06 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* makefile.gnu: Add file
	* list.unix: Add file

2003-03-02 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Do not add file extensions to output names
	
2003-03-02 Jackson Harper <[email protected]>

	* PEAPI.cs: Add file
	* README.txt: Add file
