PostSharp

[soren]

Edit and continue stops working for assemblies that are compiled with PostSharp (at least in VS 2008 -- I don't know about 2005.)

VS 2008 reports that it cannot enable edit and continue because "the assembly has been optimized".

I happen to miss edit and continue...

With later builds (I'm currently using 1.0.7.294) edit & continue is working again - but therefore there are some problems with managed resources, Gael said (see http://www.postsharp.org/tracker/view.php?id=160).

Can anybody say from which version on e&c woks?

The bug has been solved.

What does that mean? That you can edit a postsharped program during debugging?

Hello,
I don't understand if the Edit & Continue problem has been solved. On our version of postsharp (that just have been downloaded on this site) we can't edit and continue.
Can somebody tell me if it's solved now ?

We have notice although that building the solution is quite longer than before using PostSharp. Is there anyway to improve it ? Or is it a way to desactivate PostSharp injection when building in debug ?

Thanks for your help.

Yes, PostSharp increases build time. This is not a secret. Edit-and-Continue is not officially supported, so if it works it is "accidentally".

You can disable PostSharp in any build configuration by defining the compilation symbol SkipPostSharp.

Do your plans include 1) optimizing compilation time and/or 2) supporting Edit-and-Continue in the future, Gael?

Do your plans include 1) optimizing compilation time

Yes, but don't expect miracles. The only thing that can bring significant improvements is multi-core optimization, and this is very difficult (because all jobs modify the same object graph). I will also deliver a release compiled in "release" mode.

and/or 2) supporting Edit-and-Continue in the future, Gael?

No
