Interface IAdviser

An object that allows declarations to be advised (transformed) using extension methods from AdviserExtensions. This is the non-generic base interface; aspects typically use the generic IAdviser<T> variant.

Namespace: Metalama.Framework.Aspects

Assembly: Metalama.Framework.dll

public interface IAdviser

Remarks

The IAdviser interface provides the foundation for code transformation in Metalama. It exposes:

Target declaration: The code element being advised (method, type, property, etc.)
Diagnostics: Report errors, warnings, or suppress compiler diagnostics
Compilation context: Access to the code model in both original and modified states
Declaration switching: Create adviser instances for other declarations via With<TNewDeclaration>(TNewDeclaration)

Advising is performed through extension methods in AdviserExtensions, such as Override(), IntroduceMethod(), ImplementInterface(), and others.
