Metalama 2023.3.3-preview released

[gfraiteur]

We have released Metalama 2023.3.3-preview.

You can download the packages from nuget.org. However, Metalama Tools for Visual Studio must be downloaded separately from OneDrive and installed manually.

Metalama 2023.3.3-preview contains all changes from 2023.3.2-preview plus the following:

New

• You can now call a T# template from another T# template using meta.InvokeTemplate.

Improved

• Metalama.Framework.Sdk: You can now and very easily use the Roslyn API in your aspects by adding <PackageReference Include="Metalama.Framework.Sdk" PrivateAssets="all"/> to your aspect project. Previously, a separate project was necessary.
• Option to enable performance profiling of Metalama processes. Update the metalama global tool.
• Performance improvement of Metalama.Framework.Workspaces, especially useful while using the Metalama driver for LinqPad.
• We merged Roslyn 4.7.
• Metalama.Extensions.DependencyInjection: you can now introduce a dependency programmatically.
• RunTimeAspectHelpers has been improved.
• New [RunTime] attribute that restricts to run-time the scope of a type that derives from a [RunTimeOrCompileTime] base class or interface.
• Error reporting in Metalama Tools for Visual Studio has been greatly improved.
• IAdviceFactory: introduction methods now return the existing member for OverrideStrategy.Ignore.
• Overriding asynchronous methods with a template has been improved.

Breaking

• MetalamaPlugInAttribute is now redundant and has been removed.

Fixed

• T#:

  • Fixed: Named arguments were not handled properly in templates
  • Fixed: The generated syntax tree for typeof(Foo<>) was incorrect.
  • Fixed: ProceedAsync did work correctly when the default template is async.
  • Fixed: Nested run-time-or-compile-time invocations (like code creating LINQ expressions) are misidentified as compile-time.
  • Fixed: Invalid code generated when the overridden method contains a return statement with target typing.
  • Fixed: Exception when an anonymous type is used multiple times in a template.
  • Fixed: Exception when calling a compile-time method with run-time template parameter argument.

• Fixed: TypeFactory could not be used in eligibility delegates.

• Fixed: File lock during Metalama initialization.

• Fixed: Exception when reporting cached compile-time diagnostic.
