This is the first book to describe the recent significant changes to the
.NET compilation process and demonstrate how .NET developers can use the
new Compiler API to create compelling applications. As an open source
compiler, the Compiler API now makes its code available for anyone to
use. In this book, you'll get a concise, focused view of this tremendous
resource for developers, who can now use any part of the platform
implementation to their advantage in analyzing applications, improving
code generation, and providing enforceable patterns, all under an OSS
model.
You will learn how to analyze your code for defects in a fast, clean
manner never available before. You'll work with solutions and projects
to provide automatic refactoring, and you'll discover how you can
generate code dynamically to provide application implementations at
runtime
Having the Compiler API available opens a number of doors for .NET
developers that were either simply not there before, or difficult to
achieve. However, the API is vast, and this concise book provides a
valuable roadmap to this new development environment.
What You Will Learn:
-
Understand how to generate, compile, and execute code for a number of
scenarios
-
How to create diagnostics and refactoring to help developers enforce
conventions and design idioms
-
Experiment with the compiler code base and see what can be done to
influence the inner workings of the compilation pipeline
Who This Book Is For: Experienced .NET developers, but detailed
compiler knowledge is not necessary.
