	* Test/misc/Makefile : Added dependency on newly compiled compiler for the test executable

2004-12-01 Rafael Teixeira <rafaelteixeirabr@hotmail.com>
	* driver.cs: it was "monostyled" and some extract method refactorings to make things clear
	now -q --quiet works, inclusive for the "Alpha" message
	* Test/misc/Makefile : Added dependency on newly compiled compiler for the test executable

2004-11-30 Rafael Teixeira <rafaelteixeirabr@hotmail.com>
	* Test/misc/Makefile : Compile new RedimPreserve.vb test source

	* enum.cs: Factored out a new class EnumMember from the existing
	class Enum. Much of the functionality that existed in
	Enum.LookupEnumValue() is now moved in to
	EnumMember.DoDefineMember().

	One significant departure from the previous Enum implmenentation
	is that now the resolution of an EnumMember's value happens in the
	EmitContext set up for the Enum.
	
	* attribute.cs: 
	* expression.cs: Trivial changes related to the above change.

2004-11-22  Jambunathan K  <kjambunathan@novell.com>

2004-11-17  Jambunathan K  <kjambunathan@novell.com>
	* attribute.cs: Temporarily made Attribute.UnManagedType public.
	
	* class.cs: Removed the instance method
	MethodCore.LabelParameters() and moved it's functionality to the
	new instance methods Parameters.LabelParameters() and
	Parameter.DefineParameter().
	
	* parameter.cs: Introduced new instance methods
	Parameters.LabelParameters() and Parameter.DefineParameter() and
	slightly improved Parameter.ApplyAttributeBuilder().
	
2004-11-17  Jambunathan K  <kjambunathan@novell.com>
	* mb-parser.jay: During multi-file compilation, global attributes
	were not getting parsed properly. Fixed the same.
	
2004/10/22 Rafael Teixeira <rafaelteixeirabr@hotmail.com>

	   issuing wrong warnings for trivial files like testmbas/WriteOK.vb.
	* Makefile : adding testmbas/AssemblyInfo.vb to some test compilations 

2004-11-10  Jambunathan K  <kjambunathan@novell.com>
	* attribute.cs: 1) Replaced the static method
	Attribute.GetValidPlaces() with an equivalent instance method
	Attribute.GetValidTargets() 2) Added new methods Attributes.Emit
	() and Attribute.Emit(). 3) Migrated functionality of
	ApplyAttributes to ApplyAttributeBuilder of respective classes.

	* class.cs, decl.cs, codegen.cs, const.cs, parameter.cs :
	Implemented ApplyAttributeBuilder() in the following classes:
	TypeContainer, Constructor, Field, Property, Event, DeclSpace,
	AssemblyClass, ModuleClass, Const, Method, Parameter.
	
	* codegen.cs: Implemented Emit() in the following classes:
	AssemblyClass and ModuleClass.

	The ApplyAttributeBuilder() is currently just a placeholder for
	future code that is yet to come.

2004-11-09  Jambunathan K  <kjambunathan@novell.com>
	* class.cs: Coalesced the functionality of Property and
	PropertyBase in to Property class and removed the class
	PropertyBase.


2004-11-09  Jambunathan K  <kjambunathan@novell.com>

	* attribute.cs: Injected a new virtual property
	Attributable.AttributeTargets

	* decl.cs: Made MemeberCore a derived class of
	Attributable.

	* parameter.cs: Made Parameter a derived class of
	Attributable.
	
	* class.cs: Commented out the "never used" class Indexer. I
	suspect that the class will never be required in VB.NET context
	and can possibly be stripped off after careful inspection.

	* tree.cs, module.cs, interface.cs, enum.cs, delegate.cs,
	const.cs, codegen.cs: Changes necessiated by the above changes.

2004-11-07  Jambunathan K  <kjambunathan@novell.com>

	* attribute.cs: 1) Factored out Attribute.UsageAttribute and
	Attribute.GetAttributeUsage 2) Introducing the new base class
	Attributable from which all Attributable types will be derived in
	the future 3) Added new accessors Attribute.IsAssemblyAttribute
	and Attribute.IsModuleAttribute

2004-11-06  Jambunathan K  <kjambunathan@novell.com>
	* rootcontext.cs: Removed the static field -
	RootContext:global_attribute.

2004-11-06  Jambunathan K  <kjambunathan@novell.com>
	* class.cs: 
	* attribute.cs: Removed the incomplete and (for now) unnecessary
	Mono.MonoBASIC.Operator class. Let us bother about this later.

	Stripping off these unused bits will help me in 1) refactoring the
	mbas Attributes related code 2) reusing the code from the mcs code
	base.
	
2004-11-06  Jambunathan K  <kjambunathan@novell.com>
