Fixes: https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=52238
If you give mtouch/mmp a linker xml file with bad input for
example a Xamarin.iOS app and the linker.xml has a reference
to Xamarin.Mac instead of X.I.dll i.e.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<linker>
<assembly fullname="Xamarin.Mac">
<type fullname="ObjCRuntime.Constants"/>
</assembly>
</linker>
You will get a not so helpful generic error
MT2001 Could not link assemblies. Reason: Failed to process XML description: <unspecified>
It seems that when you use a xml file for linker you get a
`XmlResolutionException` from cecil when it fails to resolve
and the better error comes from the inner exception so we use
that instead.
New error output for XmlResolutionException:
MT2017: Could not process XML description: Failed to resolve assembly: 'Xamarin.Mac, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'
Resource files for mac should be copied to the app bundle
* Move the Satellite code used by mac to tools/common/Assembly.cs
* Add EmbeddedResources test to xammac_tests
Most projects building to bitcode (any kind of bitcode, this includes the
marker-only version as well), will fail to link when linking with third-party
libraries and incremental builds are enabled.
So automatically disable incremental builds when we detect this scenario.
This is only a workaround until we can make this scenario build correctly.
https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=51710
Use @rpath instead of @executable_path in dylibs, since it allows us to be
more flexible when placing dylibs in the app.
In particular with this change it's trivial to put libmonosgen-2.0.dylib in
the container app, and reference it from extensions.
According to Vlad it's not necessary to set MONO_GC_PARAMS during AOT-
compilation, since all MONO_GC_PARAMS options can be changed at runtime:
Rolf Kvinge [16:35] @vlad.brezae is this true for all the different options MONO_GC_PARAMS take: https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/pull/1546#discussion_r97318092?
Rolf Kvinge [16:36] I remember this: https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=35414#c14
Rofl Kvinge [16:36] which apparently you changed here, so that it can be changed at runtime: https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=35414#c27
Rolf Kvinge [16:36] but I don't know if this is true for all the options you can pass using MONO_GC_PARAMS
Vlad Brezae [16:41] yes, it should be true for all of them, that was a bug
Rolf Kvinge [16:41] ok, that's great news 😄
Performance tests
-----------------
This is for a new watchOS extension project, built for release.
* The default (currently -O2) optimizations: 41s ( baseline ) 30.027.060 bytes ( baseline )
* All optimizations disabled (`--llvm-opt=all=`): 17s (-24s = -59%) 32.978.312 bytes (+2.951.252 = +10%)
* Optimized for size (`--llvm-opt=all=-Os`): 36s ( -5s = -12%) 28.617.408 bytes (-1.409.652 = -5%)
* Optimized for more size (`--llvm-opt=all=-Oz`): 35s ( -6s = -15%) 28.601.016 bytes (-1.426.044 = -5%)
* Optimized slightly (`--llvm-opt=all=-O1`): 35s ( -6s = -15%) 28.666.556 bytes (-1.360.504 = -5%)
* Optimized a lot (`--llvm-opt=all=-O3`): 41s ( 0s = 0%) 30.403.996 bytes (+ 376.936 = +1%)
Conclusions
-----------
* The fastest build by far (less than twice as fast) is if optimizations are
disabled, but this adds a 10% size penalty (~3 MB in this test case),
compared to the baseline, and 15% size penalty (4.3 MB) compared to -Oz.
* -Oz seems to have the best overall results: at least as fast as any other
optimized build, and the smallest app as well.
Caveats
-------
Some optimizations might not work the AOT compiled code. The resulting
binaries have not been tested.
Event sequence:
* mtouch is executed with the linker disabled.
* The linker pipeline copies all input assemblies (since the linker is
disabled the assemblies don't change) into the PreBuild directory. This will
keep the original timestamps of the input assemblies.
* mtouch is executed again, when none of the input assemblies changed.
* The linker pipeline will re-execute, because it will see that at least one
of the input assemblies (at least the .exe) is newer than at least one of
the assemblies in the PreBuild directory (usually a framework assembly,
because those have the original timestamp from their install location).
Fix:
Touch all the assemblies in the PreBuild directory after the linker pipeline
executes the first time. This way the second time mtouch is executed, it will
find that all assemblies in the PreBuild directory have timestamps later than
all the input assemblies, so it will load the cached linked assemblies,
instead of re-executing the linker pipeline.
Switch to a new API introduced in Cecil added new API to get all the
attributes in an assembly, without having to traverse (and load) every type
and member.
This makes mtouch significantly faster when computing the list of referenced
assemblies, which is noticable when mtouch later determines nothing else needs
to be done (because nothing changed).
A few tests show that mtouch is now approximately twice as fast:
* A customer test project goes from 2s to 1s.
* A simple test app goes from 1.3s to 0.6.
https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=49087
The native linker treats object files (.o) and static libraries (.a files,
which are archives of .o files) differently.
The native linker will always include object files into the executable:
$ echo "void xxx () {}" > foo.m
$ clang -c foo.m -o foo.o -arch x86_64
$ ld foo.o -dylib -o foo.dylib -macosx_version_min 10.12 -arch x86_64
$ nm foo.dylib
0000000000000fe0 T _xxx
However, if the object file is inside a static library:
$ echo "void xxx () {}" > foo.m
$ clang -c foo.m -o foo.o -arch x86_64
$ ar cru foo.a foo.o
$ ld foo.a -dylib -o foo.dylib -macosx_version_min 10.12 -arch x86_64
$ nm foo.dylib
<no output>
This means that our testing library (libtest.a) which is a fat library of
_object files_, do not show the problems reported in bug #51548.
So:
a) I've fixed the creation of libtest.a to be a fat library of _static
libraries_. This causes the `FastDev_LinkWithTest` test to fail exactly
like in bug #51548.
b) I've made mtouch pass `-u <native symbol>` to the native linker, for every
native symbol referenced in a managed assembly, when creating a dylib.
Amazingly this seems to work fine even with symbols to Objective-C classes
(`_OBJC_CLASS_$_<class name>`).
c) This also required adding support for collecting the Objective-C names of
all managed types registered with Objective-C to the linker. The
information is already available in the static registrar, but that would
require us to make sure the static registrar is executed before compiling
dylibs, which means those two tasks won't be able to run in parallel (also
there's no guarantee we'll even run the static registrar).
https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=51548
TL&DR: This is *how* it should be done and tested, it's not complete
(single, simple case) nor the most interesting case ;-)
The trick is to make sure each case is covered by tests so a mono
_bump_ won't give us a BCL that does not conform to what the linker
expect.
What's the impact ?
1. There is the expected reduction of metadata in mscorlib. Since both
methods don't call other API there's no indirect effect (removal).

We're not storing selectors in fields anymore so this step does nothing
expect iterating over the code.
The step is still needed for `mmp` (for Xamarin.Mac.dll)
This allows mtouch to give better error message when something unexpected
occurs in the linker pipeline (at least for the sub-steps).
Practically it means fewer, contextless MT2001 errors. The replacements
error code are more precise, e.g.
* what was being done;
* what was being processed
and helps both diagnosing and, possibly, gives clues for workarounds
Build extensions and the container app in the same mtouch process, by storing
all the mtouch arguments when called to build extensions in a text file, and
then reloading those arguments when called to build the main app.
This is required if we want to share code between extensions and the
container.
This is a series of fixes to the dynamic libraries we build / create to remove
any unnecessary bloat (unused architectures, bitcode).
A brand new watchOS app with no changes goes from 35MB to 11MB with these
fixes (with incremental builds disabled, the app size is 10MB).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* [runtime] Split list of architectures into simulator and device-specific lists.
* [runtime] Build separate dylibs for device and simulator.
Build separate dylibs for device and simulator, since we already install these
into different locations.
This makes both the simulator and device builds slightly faster (since the
respective dylibs are smaller, and less data to copy around).
For watchOS apps, this saves ~430kb.
* [runtime] Strip bitcode from dylibs. Fixes#51352.
We know that dylibs will never be shipped to the App Store, so we'll never
need them to have bitcode.
So just strip the bitcode from all our dylibs, since this makes apps with
fastdev significantly smaller (and thus much faster to upload to watch
devices).
For watchOS apps this is a very significant improvement: a branch new watchOS
app without any changes goes from 35MB to 17MB.
https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=51352
* [mtouch] Fix dylib compilation to not embed full bitcode.
Facts
=====
a. The output from the AOT compiler is an assembly (.s) file.
b. Clang's assembler does not support -fembed-bitcode-marker (only -fembed-
bitcode), so when we ask clang to -fembed-bitcode-marker, the assembler
receives a -fembed-bitcode argument.
c. This means that the assembled object file does not contain the
__LLVM/__bitcode and __LLVM/__cmdline sections (it does however contain an
__LLVM/__asm section).
d. The native linker will create a bitcode assembly section if none of the
object files passed to the linker contain a __LLVM/__bitcode section and
there's an __LLVM/__asm section present.
e. The end result is that when we build to a dylib, we end up (unexpectedly,
because we ask Clang to -fembed-bitcode-marker) including both armv7k and
bitcode in the dylib, thus bloating the dylib size significantly.
Solution
========
We manually add the __LLVM/__bitcode and __LLVM/__cmdline sections to the .s
file Mono's AOT compiler generated. This way the .o file will have the magic
sections, and the linker will not include bitcode (only the bitcode marker) in
the final library.
An empty watchOS extension with incremental builds is now 6MB smaller (down
to 11MB from 17MB).
Auto-install locally after building in the IDE, so that running mtouch tests
after running the mtouch project doesn't require switching to the command
line.
So that there can be multiple caches in the same process (which we'll have
once mtouch can compile extensions and the container app in the same process).
* [mtouch] Remove most static state and put it on an instance.
Remove most static state, and put it on an instance (of Application) instead.
Soon we'll build multiple apps (app extensions) in the same process, and we
need to make sure we're not inadvertedly (and incorrectly) sharing state
between apps, so remove as much static state as possible to avoid any
problems.
* [mtouch] Rename GetIsUsingClang -> IsUsingClang.
* [mtouch] Always require a SDK version when building.
Technically it was required before too, but the error messages were non-optimal:
it could for instance complain that the user is using an iOS framework that
was introduced in iOS 2.0.
* [mtouch tests] Rewrite MT0060 and MT0061 tests to use MTouchTool.
This makes sure we pass --sdk to mtouch (which MTouchTool does by default), so
that we don't run into MT0025 before the errors we're testing for.
The BundleId property is used by the code that generates the mSYM directory,
but its value was always the default value 'com.yourcompany.sample' instead of
looked up in the app's Info.plist.
So fix the BundleId property to do the expected.
Also fix the mSYM test (SymbolicationData) to actually test mSYM stuff (it was
partially disabled when we disabled automatic mSYM generation for C8, and
never re-enabled), and port it to the new and better test syntax, and add a
few more asserts to check the manifest.xml generation.
- `LoggingExtensions` has a new `MTError` extension method that helps generate
an msbuild error with the proper MTxxx format.
- Added error codes for 44 msbuild errors.
- Updated `docs/website/mtouch-errors.md` and `tools/mtouch/error.cs` accordingly.
- MT7001 contains some extra documentation (troubleshooting steps).
* [mtouch] Bring back PreBuildDirectory
Some mtouch unit tests failed because of timestamp checks. It's not clear
it's always a win (it's not in my original test case) not to copy (to
target) as it means we have to copy earlier (PreBuild + Build).
More investigation needed, there's probably a better way to achieve both.
In the mean time this should fix the failing tests cases.
* Fix up / simplify logic and avoid duplicate calls to IsUpdate
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).
https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=46552
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).
| | Before | After | Diff |
|----------------|--------------:|--------------:|------------------:|

| linkall/64bit | 40.315.200 | 40.267.344 | -47.856 = -0,12% |
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:
| | Before | After | Diff |
|-------------------|--------:|--------:|----------------:|
| Memory allocated | 2,8 MB | 2,4 MB | -0,4 MB = -14 % |
| Objects allocated | 43678 | 38463 | -5215 = -12 % |
| Private bytes | 26,6 MB | 24,4 MB | -2,2 MB = -8,3% |
| Working set | 26,6 MB | 24,4 MB | -2,2 MB = -8,3% |
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
mtouch (before)
Total time: 64202 ms
mtouch (after)
Total time: 34840 ms
* Add XM support for RemoveUserResourcesSubStep
* Tests supplied by @chamons
Run the partial static registrar separately for 32-bit and 64-bit, since this
is required with the upcoming changes to embed metadata tokens inside the
generated output, because the metadata tokens are different between the 32-bit
and 64-bit versions of Xamarin.iOS.dll.
Also make sure to properly resolve the 32-bit and 64-bit assemblies correctly
(by setting the ArchDirectory on the assembly resolver), so that we don't pick
up the reference assembly (which does not have the right metadata tokens).
Additionally stop running the partial static registrar for MonoTouch.Dialog-1,
since with the upcoming changes to use metadata tokens in the generated
output, we won't support registering anything more than once. This shouldn't
make much of an impact, because MonoTouch.Dialog-1 is fairly small, and
doesn't take long to register in the dynamic registrar. For device builds (or
when the static registrar is selected) this has no effect, since in that case
we're registering everythinga anyway.
Link the executable with LinkWith attributes' libraries in the simulator when
doing incremental builds, since we don't create dylibs there.

Update mdb files even if the corresponding assembly didn't change, because the
mdb can change even if the assembly didn't (if whitespace was modified in the
source code, causing code lines to move).
https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=39535
If the cache is invalid we print a warning:
> A full rebuild will be performed because the cache is either incomplete or entirely missing.
and set `Driver.Force = true;` (in Application.cs).
This later means that extracting the native code is done on each target:
```
public static bool IsUptodate (string source, string target)
{
if (Driver.Force)
return false;
```
even if this is identical between 32 and 64 bits (targets). That's
inefficient and, for large binding libraries (e.g. > 1GB), has a
noticable impact on build time (see timestamps).
Considering that the cache is cleaned (when detected as invalid) then
this Force condition is not really needed.
E.g. in `IsUptodate`
* the first time (arch) it's called will have to extract the native library;
* if a 2nd arch is built (fat) then it will be found as present and will
not be extracted again
Removing the `Driver.Force = true;` in this condition let the `-f` option
continue to extract it twice, which can be useful in debugging and testing.
As such the check is not removed from `IsUptodate`
Timestamps (before)
Setup: 25 ms
Resolve References: 1605 ms
Extracted native link info: 10465 ms
...
Timestamps (after)
Setup: 24 ms
Resolve References: 1560 ms
Extracted native link info: 5473 ms
...
Total build times (from XS) was around 90-100 seconds so 5 seconds is
about 10%. The actual savings will depend on how much native code needs
to be extracted, but it should help most release builds (almost always
fat builds).
IIRC this used to be needed with a (rather old) version of Cecil.
The current code does nothing as the Load will only hit the cache
and not other properties are changed (compared to the old commented
code)
The SDK does not ship any, non-tool, .exe files. In fact .exe _should_
never need to be resolved since the main .exe is always given as an input
to mtouch.
Still it's possible (if quite uncommon) to refer to other .exe assemblies
just like if they were .dll. However those can only come from the
RootDirectory (and not the other places that ship with the SDK).
This "fix" ensure lookups for *.exe is done only inside the RootDirectory
location, speeding up (a bit) resolving assemblies.
Native libraries are already linked into the dylib for the binding assembly,
which means that if we also link it into the main executable, the native code
ends up twice in the app (which is bad for many reasons).
https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=42473
The container app may not reference the same third-party frameworks as
extensions, which means that we must make sure the extension's frameworks are
also included in the app bundle.
So when building extensions save a list of all third-party frameworks, and
then read that list and include those frameworks when building the main app.
https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=45800
Managed exception marshaling interferes with the debugger, because it adds
exception handlers to executing code, which makes the Mono runtime think an
exception is handled when logically it's not (although technically it is).
The consequence is that the IDEs will only be notified when we re-throw the
exception after catching it, making it impossible for the IDEs to stop when
the exception is thrown (they will instead stop when we re-throw the
exception).
So disable managed exception marshaling (unless the user changed the default
behavior) when a debugger is attached.
This is the same behavior as Xamarin.Android.
https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=45116
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).
Setting this option prints this to stdout:
> Mono Warning: option gen-compact-seq-points is deprecated.
and it's ignored, so just don't set this option.
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.

Fix NullReferenceException in PInvoke wrapper generation when incremental

https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44763
In the recent Cecil update Cecil changed from loading assemblies in memory to
keep a FileStream around and read whenever necessary [1].
This is problematic for us, because we need all the AssemblyDefinitions in
memory at once, and if there are many assemblies, then we'll run into problems
due to the number of file descriptors in use.
So revert to the behavior for the old Cecil: loading assemblies in memory,
unless the assemblies are big, since in that case we might run out of memory
otherwise.

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

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

The nested Parallel.ForEach loops don't take into account the outer
MaxDegreeOfParallelism value, causing us to spawn more concurrent tasks than
we want to.
So refactor the code to have one static list of tasks, which each subtask adds
to.
