Testing the IIncrementalGenerator source generator API introduced in .NET 6 by generating cached methods.
Clone the project. Build profiles: ConsoleApp for the target code, and Generator for debugging the source generator (must have .NET Compiler SDK installed as per this guide). Included a PostsharpApp alternative for comparison.
Unfortunately VS 2022 (v. 17.10.0) needs to be restarted for Intellisense to pick up changes in the source generator project. Also, debug breakpoints don't hit on the source generated files, and intellisense doesn't pick up the references. Workarounds:
- Generate files in the project folder as described here, but this also generates error CS0121 - ambigous reference
- Source Generators Auto Update VS extension
Automatically generates cached versions of methods, to improve performance by caching method results based on specified expiration times.
Creates actions to run before, after and on exceptions.
