Implement the ModuleInitializerAttributeShouldNotBeUsedInLibraries analyzer #5347

Conversation

Fixes dotnet/runtime#43328 by raising a diagnostic any time the [ModuleInitializer] attribute is applied to a method (in conformance with the C# language feature that supports this attribute).

Per the API review of this analyzer, the analyzer will be defaulted to on as a warning.

The analyzer doesn't really check whether we're in a library or not.
So the false positive rate can be high.

We expect the [ModuleInitializer] attribute to be used very rarely, so we can tolerate a level of false positives.

Is it possible to check if the type is in a class library assembly?

Yeah I think it's possible: if (context.Compilation.Options.OutputKind != OutputKind.DynamicallyLinkedLibrary) return;

Thanks! This will still allow the analyzer to run for web and mobile apps I presume, but it will remove false positives from console apps and windows apps, so that's still an improvement.

I think it won't run for web apps. Not sure about mobile.

Thanks for the thorough review, @Youssef1313! I've addressed all of your feedback if you want to take another look.

I forgot to run msbuild /t:Pack on that commit. I'm correcting the resource strings and running that command, which should fix the build.
