This adds a new overload to our Notifications class
Current:
public static NSObject ObserveDidStart (EventHandler<NSNotificationEventArgs> handler)
New overload:
public static NSObject ObserveDidStart (NSObject objectToObserve, EventHandler<NSNotificationEventArgs> handler)
This allows our users to have single object subscription to our
easy to find notifications.
Also this commit adds an Advice attribute encouraging to use the
Notifications class instead of the NSString based notifications
The old `legacy` option will now be reported as a warning.
That's by design an warning would require manually editing the .csproj
file (when the UI gets removed, as planned, from the IDE).
This is part of
https://trello.com/c/SrgU38DN/647-only-ship-support-appletls
Note: The BCL changes will happen in later stages.
Earlier versions of Xamarin Studio stored an invalid http message handler in
watchOS project files, which would cause a build error. In addition Xamarin
Studio removed the UI to set the http message handler (since only one value is
valid), which meant that the user had to edit the project file by hand to get
around this build error.
So make it a warning instead (and document what the user has to do to fix the
warning).

Use metadata tokens instead of strings to find types and methods.
This makes the code to find methods more compact (a lot less strings in the
executable, and additionally in most cases a compact representation (32-bit
integer) of the corresponding metadata token and additional information can be
used, which results in less executable code (fewer parameters to methods,
etc)), resulting in smaller executables.
Size savings are around 200kb for dont link apps, and 20-60kb for linked apps
(this obviously varies a lot depending on how much has to registered by the
registrar).

Additionally I've removed the `lazy_map` dictionary, which we populated at
startup and was used to map between Class instances and the corresponding
managed type's FullName, and instead iterate over a native array of Class ->
metadata token mappings whenever we need to look up the managed type for a
certain Class instance.
This is slightly slower for each type we need to look up (for a non-linked app
there might be a 2000-3000 entries in the native array, which would be
iterated instead of using a hashtable lookup), but it's only done once per
type and there's a significant startup memory improvement.
For a non-linked test app I get the following using the Xamarin profiler:

Right now the logic exists in a few places, both in and outside the
linker. We recently began to use part of the linker pipeline in normal /
all builds so it's easier to share (and unify) the code now.
The real gain is to avoid copying assemblies, in particular large ones,
more than strictly needed while building.
E.g. a build including a very large 1.3GB assembly, with several
native libraries embedded, save a lot of time avoiding the rewrites

* Add XM support for RemoveUserResourcesSubStep
* Tests supplied by @chamons
This makes it possible to set linker flags per assembly:
[assembly: LinkWith (LinkerFlags = "-lsqlite3")]
Which is required when incremental builds is enabled and a particular assembly
needs special linker flags (because we don't propagate the global -gcc_flags
to each dylib we build when doing incremental builds).
Also add an option to set the dlsym mode for an assembly (using the LinkWith
attribute).
Unify the code to determine whether a particular return type requires a stret
signature or not between the generator and platform assemblies.
Also fix the stret detection for armv7k, whose calling convention is not
identical to armv7(s): there's the concept of homogeneous structures, which
contains multiple elements of only one type, and which is sometimes passed in
registers on armv7k.

* [tests] Remove Classic SDK tests.
* Remove XI/Classic support.
This also means we can remove support for the legacy registrars.
* [monotouch-test] Remove legacy registrar tests.
* [tests/mtouch] Remove Classic tests (and legacy registrar logic).
* [tests/scripted] Fix tests to reference Xamarin.iOS.dll.
The MT2001 error is a general, something went bad, in the linker code
base. The stack trace is often enough to track down issues but in some
cases it would be easier to ask customers for a specific assembly
(rather than their complete project) to investigate an issue.
Example:
error MT2103: Binding Optimizer failed processing `System.Void GoogleConversionTracking.Unified.GoogleConversionPing::.ctor()`.

Right now the MT2001 would only include the inner exception, which does
not include any clue to which assembly caused the exception.
Note: The same pattern to be applied to other BaseSubStep subclasses in
separate commits.

Sometimes iOS API is returning objects of the wrong type for example
- (NSURLSessionDownloadTask *)downloadTaskWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request
It clearly states that it will return an NSURLSessionDownloadTask
instance, but yet it returns a NSURLSessionTask and we throw an
InvalidCastException when creating the managed object. This is
fine in ObjC but for us in a type-safety context is not.
Introducing ForcedTypeAttribute when applying this attribute
we will use GetINativeObject instead of GetNSObject which
the former does not perfom a type check on the underlying object
* Fix default http message handler for watchOS.
Fix default http message handler for watchOS to be NSUrlSessionHandler (the
previous attempt at eb7c2fd was quite incomplete), and make sure
HttpClientHandler is never used (show errors if someone tries).
* [tests] Remove explicit http client handler from project files.
Just use the default instead, since the set of valid http client handlers varies between platforms.
This allows us to convert some existing manual conversion code into
generated code and never miss a new constant being added [1].
The additional control comes in two forms:
* allow [Field (null)]: a null NSString constant will return this
enum value instead of throwing an ArgumentNullException;
* a new `[DefaultEnumValue]` attribute allow marking the constant to be
returned if the enum value is not known;
[1] Vincent found some missing in HomeKit when adding the new ones
from iOS 10.
This commits also adds documentation for the existing (missing) and
new attributes.
* [generator] Fix bug 43579 - Generator emits invalid code when using the same method name (overload) in @delegates using events and C# delegates
https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=43579
Bug Description:
Generator will emit invalid code when using the same name (overload)
in a method inside a @delegate (protocol) that is decorated
either with EventArgs or DelegateName
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This commit introduces a new attribute named DelegateApiNameAttribute
which mimics the EventNameAttribute but for delegate properties in
host classes
It is used to specify the delegate property name that will be created when
the generator creates the delegate property on the host
class that holds events and delegates.
This is really useful when you have two overload methods that makes
sense to keep them named as is but you want to expose them in the host class
with a better given name.
example:
interface SomeDelegate {
[Export ("foo"), DelegateApiName ("Confirmation"), DelegateName ("Func<bool>"), DefaultValue (false)]
bool Confirm (Some source);
}
Generates propety in the host class:
Func<bool> Confirmation { get; set; }
This also introduces two new BIXXXX errors:
- BI1043 Repeated overload {mi.Name} and no [DelegateApiNameAttribute]
provided to generate property name on host class.
- BI1044 Repeated name '{apiName.Name}' provided in [DelegateApiNameAttribute].
Which provides an error instead of generating invalid C# code.
Generator test included :D
* [docs] Added DelegateApiNameAttribute and IgnoredInDelegateAttribute docs
Also added Protocol where Model was used in our docs so we do not
misslead customers about it
This is something that changed with 70f1346b: our libxamarin.dylib now
requires iOS 8+, which means the app itself must require iOS 8+ when using
libxamarin.dylib.

We need to compile the generated P/Invoke wrappers to a dylib, and link the

P/Invoke wrappers.
Since there might be P/Invokes in any assembly, just link in the P/Invoke
wrapper dylib for every assembly.
