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.
