Status of the migration of PostSharp features to Metalama

PostSharp Aspect Framework

The PostSharp Framework has been entirely ported to Metalama, with a few notable differences:

• Methods from an external assembly cannot be intercepted; only those from the current project can be.
• The event of suspending and resuming an async state machine, as in PostSharp, cannot be advised. Specifically, the await keyword cannot be advised.
• The raise semantic of an event cannot be intercepted, only the add and remove semantics can be.

• Some constructor-related advice types are not yet implemented:

  • Around constructor body
  • After last constructor
  • After MemberwiseClone

PostSharp Architecture Framework

The equivalent of PostSharp Architecture Framework (e.g. the PostSharp.Constraints namespace) is the Metalama.Extensions.Architecture package.

See Verifying architecture for details.
