This + means that we can now compile the `corlib' using the Mono C# + compiler and the Mono runtime. + + Compiling the corlib was rather tricky, because the types that + the compiler uses during the compilation process will come + from the source code it is compiling. + + After a few months of work, we have finally fleshed out all + the remaining bugs. Now the next step is to update the makefiles + to compile with the Mono tool-chain. + + A recapitulation: + <ul> + * The Mono C# compiler was able to compile itself on December 28th, 2001. + The resulting image contained errors though. + + * The Mono C# compiler was able to self-compile in on + January 3rd, 2002. Becoming a self-hosting compiler on Windows. + + * The Mono runtime matured enough by March 12, 2002 that it + was able to bootstrap the Mono C# compiler on Linux using our interpreter. + This means that our development tool was self sufficient. + + * On March 26th, the JIT engine was fixed, so we could use this to + run the compiler on Linux. + + * Martin fixed the remaining bugs in the compiler that stopped it from + compiling the `corlib'. The resulting image still contained errors though. + + * On July 8th, Radek got the PowerPC port to bootstrap + the C# compiler. This is important, because it exposed + various tricky issues in a big-endian system. + + * Today: we can bootstrap the compiler using libraries + and the compiler compiled with itself on Linux. The process is complete. + </ul> + + In the meantime, Dietmar has quietly implemented the remaining + pieces of Marshalling in the Mono runtime. This is very + important for the Gtk# guys to move on with their bindings. + + To make things more interesting, he replaced most of the + architecture specific code generation for trampolines + (delegates, invocations, function and p/invoke trampolines) to + use CIL. This CIL is then compiled on the flight by the JIT + Compiler engine. By doing this, we have reduced the burden to + port the JITer to new architectures, and that our trampoline + code is cross platform. + +@item Jul 9th, 2002 + + Ajay was the first to notice <a + href="http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-list/2002-July/000641.html"> + Mono's first birthday</a>. + + In a year, we have achieved plenty: + <ul> + * 94 contributors with CVS access (84 non-Ximian developers). + * A complete CLI implementation: + <ul> + <li> A fast and performing x86 JIT engine (inlining, constant propagation). + <li> An interpreter for other systems (PPC, Sparc, StrongArm). + </ul> + * A self-hosting C# compiler, which can compile its class libraries. + * 37,140 file changes in CVS. + * 92,000 lines of C code. + * 437,000 lines of C# code (compiler, classes, tests) + * A working core for ASP.NET and ADO.NET. + * Major subsystems are functional: RegularExpressions, + System.XML, XML.Schema, System.Data, System.Web. + * The Gtk# project, which is maturing rapidly. + </ul> + + Thanks to everyone who has made Mono possible with their + feedback, regression tests, their comments, their help on the mailing + list, code contributions, complete classes, bug reporting, the + countless hours of bug hunting. This project would not have + been possible without every contribution. + + It has been a great year for everyone involved in the + project. I think we have built a new and exciting community. + + Now we have a solid foundation to build on, so this next year + looks even more exciting: not only because we will see more + Mono applications, but we will begin using Mono as an + `library' to be linked with applications that want to get + scripting-like features; Gtk# is our ticket to create nice + GNOME applications; And we will be developing CORBA bindings + to integrate with other object systems. + + Also, for those interested in optimizations and tuning, this + year we will get to play with more advanced optimizations and + all kinds of interesting research ideas for improving Mono + code generation. + + A special thanks to the Mono developers at Ximian for managing + to survive their manager and a special thanks to our + regression test marshal Nick Drochak, who has been hunting + down, and fixing code in our class libraries and keeping us on + track for so long. + +@item Jul 8th, 2002 + + Radek today fixed the last bugs to get Mono to self host on + Linux/PowerPC. + + Alp Toker has released version 0.5 of <a + href="http://www.atoker.com/phonic/">Phonic</a>, a media + player for .NET. Phonic makes extensive use of Mono-developed + technologies such as Gtk# and csvorbis (Ogg player ported by + Mark). Hopefully we will be seeing many more exciting + applications like these in the near future. + + Dietmar has been moving a lot of the architecture specific + code in the JIT engine to our internal representation. This + means that porting the JIT is simpler now, as there is less + architecture-specific code to maintain. The inliner, constant + folder and constant propagation are also done at the + architecture independent layer. + + Gonzalo is now running the sample ASP.NET applications on + Linux with the Mono runtime. It still needs polishing though, + and help with the various ASP.NET controls would be + appreciated. The ASP.NET community seems more poor than the + PHP community, we need to have a few open source controls to + do things dynamic rendering (libart+gdk-pixbuf again can do + most of the work), charts and components like the kind of + thing you see in the PHP universe: to bring nice GPL code to + the masses of Windows developers, lure them into the world of + Linux. + + Dick has also got us the new Process implementation that + implements the Win32 semantics. Now only redirection is + missing. + +@item Jul 3rd, 2002 + + Listen to Paolo Molaro do a talk on Mono at the WebIT + conference in Padova, Italy this coming friday.

The compilation was tricky because of the way + MCS bootstraps the compile (internally mcs uses the types that are + being defined at that point to perform compares). + + Martin and Paolo have been working hard on fixing the + remaining issues. Currently 102 test pass and 15 fail with + our resulting corlib. + + Jesus' SoapFormatter classes are now in CVS. + + I have been redoing the type lookup system for MCS. The + interesting bit is that I did most of this work on an airplane + using MCS itself. Which is a good test that the compiler is + now a good development tool. + + Duncan, Mike and Rachel have been hard at work with Gtk#, now + there are bindings for the GtkHTML widget (the one used by + Evolution's composer).
