Today's snapshot contains a very helpful new feature: Line numbers in stack traces. Unfortunately you only get line numbers in statically compiled code on .NET 1.1, but on Whidbey you'll also get line numbers for dynamically compiled code. At the moment Mono doesn't support them at all :-(

Together with this I also fixed up the stack trace cleaning code to remove most of the IKVM and .NET implementation artifacts from the stack traces. If you don't want the sanitized stack traces, you can use -Dikvm.cleanstacktrace=0 to disable it. This can be helpful to understand what's going on under the covers, especially if there is a bug in the cleanup code

Here is an example of a cleaned stack trace with line numbers (when run on Whidbey):

public class test
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    try {
      Object o = new Object();
      ((cli.System.Object)o).ToString();
    } catch(Throwable t) {
      t.printStackTrace();
    }
    try {
      new java.util.Hashtable().put(null, null);
    } catch(Throwable t) {
      t.printStackTrace();
    }
    try {
      "".endsWith(null);
    } catch(Throwable t) {
      t.printStackTrace();
    }
    try {
      "".charAt(1);
    } catch(Throwable t) {
      t.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

What's new:

• Merged with Classpath cvs.
• Added stub to AWT toolkit for getClasspathTextLayoutPeer.
• Added two new public APIs to the runtime:
  - IKVM.Runtime.Util.GetClassFromObject(). It returns the java.lang.Class object corresponding to the passed in object. It is now used by java.lang.Object.getClass().
  - IKVM.Runtime.Util.GetClassFromTypeHandle(). This is used by the compiler when it needs the class object (for synchronized static methods, for static JNI methods and for the new 1.5 ldc class literal).
• Changed map.xml String.hashCode body to redirect.
• Inlined String.charAt in map.xml.
• Improved stack trace cleaning so that IKVM implementation artifacts are removed from exception stack traces.
• Code compiled with ikvmc now produces stack traces with line numbers even if the -debug option isn't used. On Whidbey, dynamically converted code will also have line numbers in the stack traces.
• Moved my system/extension class loader implementation into GNU Classpath.
• Implemented stack walking for AccessController security checks.
• Fixed -D option. I used a StringDictionary to store the key/value pairs, but that converts the keys to lowercase.
• Added -nostacktraceinfo option to ikvmc, to disable generating the line number information table and source file attributes.
• Made ikvmc a little more robust in dealing with bogus path arguments.
• Changed TypeWrapper.IsAbstract and ClassFile.IsAbstract to return true for interfaces, even if the abstract bit isn't set.
• Made class loading error tracer more robust.
• Introduced a CountingILGenerator wrapper for ILGenerator that keeps track of the IL offset (required for the line number tables).
• Added AttributeHelper methods to set the new SourceFileAttribute and LineNumberTableAttribute.
• Removed TypeWrapper.PackageName (was only used in one place and it wasn't correct for array types).
• De-virtualized TypeWrapper.EmitBox (custom boxing support was previously removed).
• Reflection now reports a public default constructor on all ValueTypes (on the .NET the default constructor for value types is implicit).
• Finally completed the inheritance inversion for java.lang.Object/cli.System.Object and java.lang.Throwable/cli.System.Exception. Casting and instanceof tests on cli.System.Object and cli.System.Exception will now work consistently with reflection (i.e. cli.System.Object is a subclass of java.lang.Object and cli.System.Exception is a subclass of java.lang.Throwable). Similar work still needs to be done for java.lang.Comparable/cli.System.IComparable and (a little different) java.lang.String/cli.System.String.
• Introduced two new custom attributes SourceFileAttribute and LineNumberTableAttribute.
• Added line number tracking to map.xml parsing.
• Added blt, ldc_i4_1, add and mul opcodes to remapper.
• Fixed bug in remapper that caused local variables and labels outside of exception blocks not to be visible inside exception blocks.
• Fixed verifier to detect trying to instantiate an array type with the new bytecode.
• Fixed verifier bug that caused NullReferenceException on methods that had dead code that contain local variable stores when compiling with the -debug option.
• Fixed bug in remapped type code generator that caused remapping helper methods to show up in Java reflection (I forgot to emit the HideFromJavaAttribute).
• Added error handling for unknown attributes to map.xml parser.
