Is there an option to the C# compiler CSC.exe which generates more verbose output, specifically details on its parsing logic?
I've got a C# source file in a project which essentially contains this:
namespace lib.data.files
{
public class group
{
public file[] file;
}
public class file
{
}
}
And a compile error of
files.cs(5,15): error CS1031: Type expected [lib.data.csproj::TargetFramework=netstandard2.0]
The problem can be fixed by changing line 5 to
public lib.data.files.file[] file;
But I'm curious to find out what the CSC compiler thinks file[]
represents (if it isn't picking up the class referrence in the same namespace).
(p.s. adding <ErrorLog>compiler-diagnostics.sarif</ErrorLog>
to the project file only gives the same level of detail.)
(p.p.s. this compile error only showed up after upgrading from .NET 6.0 to .NET 7.0)
