❔ Checking if ISymbol was autogenerated
Hello, is there any way to check if
ISymbol was autogenerated by c# compiler? In this case checking for specialname attribute should be ok. I want to filter out autogenerated symbols such as methods generated from autoproperties or enums' value__ field.10 Replies
ISymbol.IsImplicitlyDeclared Property (Microsoft.CodeAnalysis)
Returns true if this symbol was automatically created by the compiler, and does not have an explicit corresponding source code declaration.
no, it is false even though a method is generated from autoproperty and also for
value__ field for enumsthe CompilerGenerated attribute?
it's not being added
to the symbols
by the compiler
please, can someone help?
For
IFieldSymbol, there's the AssociatedSymbol
For IMethodSymbol there should probably be one as well
If that's not null, it's compiler generatedit's null for
value__ for enums
it seems to work for autoproperties
nice
thanks @AntonC, now only handling
value__ for enums is leftyou can probably check if the type it's defined in is an enum
or something like that
make a special case for enums
yeah, I was thinking about it, thanks
