Inheritance

Object    Attribute    GeneratedParserAttribute

When this attribute is applied to a class that defines command line arguments, source generation will be used to create a CommandLineParserT instance for those arguments, instead of the normal approach which uses run-time reflection.

To use the generated parser, source generation will add several static methods to the target class: the CreateParser(ParseOptions) method, and the Parse(ParseOptions) method and its overload. If you are targeting an older version of .Net than .Net 7.0, the same methods are added, but they will not implement the static interfaces.

Using these generated methods allows the use of trimming and native AOT for your application, as they avoid the regular constructors of the CommandLineParser and CommandLineParserT class, which are incompatible with these options.

When using source generation with subcommands, you should also use a class with the GeneratedCommandManagerAttribute attribute to access the commands.
