ALE C# Integration                                             *ale-cs-options*


===============================================================================
mcs                                                                *ale-cs-mcs*

  The `mcs` linter looks only for syntax errors while you type. See |ale-cs-mcsc|
  for the separately configured linter for checking for semantic errors.


g:ale_cs_mcs_options                                     *g:ale_cs_mcs_options*
                                                         *b:ale_cs_mcs_options*

  Type: String
  Default: `''`

  This variable can be changed to pass additional flags given to mcs.

  NOTE: The -unsafe flag is selected implicitly and thus does not need to be
  explicitly included in the |g:ale_cs_mcs_options| or |b:ale_cs_mcs_options|
  parameter.


===============================================================================
mcsc                                                              *ale-cs-mcsc*

  The mcsc linter checks for semantic errors when files are opened or saved
  See |ale-lint-file-linters| for more information on linters which do not
  check for problems while you type.

  The mcsc linter uses the mono mcs compiler to generate a temporary module
  target file (-t:module). The module includes including all '*.cs' files
  contained in the directory tree rooted at the path defined by the
  |g:ale_cs_mcsc_source| or |b:ale_cs_mcsc_source| variable.
  variable and all sub directories.

  The paths to search for additional assembly files can be specified using the
  |g:ale_cs_mcsc_assembly_path| or |b:ale_cs_mcsc_assembly_path| variables.

  NOTE: ALE will not find any errors in files apart from syntax errors if any
  one of the source files contains a syntax error. Syntax errors must be fixed
  first before other errors will be shown.


g:ale_cs_mcsc_options                                   *g:ale_cs_mcsc_options*
                                                        *b:ale_cs_mcsc_options*
  Type: |String|
  Default: `''`

  This option can be set to pass additional arguments to the `mcs` compiler.

  For example, to add the dotnet package which is not added per default: >

      let g:ale_cs_mcs_options = '-pkg:dotnet'
<
  NOTE: the `-unsafe` option is always passed to `mcs`.


g:ale_cs_mcsc_source                                     *g:ale_cs_mcsc_source*
                                                         *b:ale_cs_mcsc_source*
  Type: |String|
  Default: `''`

  This variable defines the root path of the directory tree searched for the
  '*.cs' files to be linted. If this option is empty, the source file's
  directory will be used.

  NOTE: Currently it is not possible to specify sub directories and
  directory sub trees which shall not be searched for *.cs files.


g:ale_cs_mcsc_assembly_path                       *g:ale_cs_mcsc_assembly_path*
                                                  *b:ale_cs_mcsc_assembly_path*
  Type: |List|
  Default: `[]`

  This variable defines a list of path strings to be searched for external
  assembly files. The list is passed to the mcs compiler using the `-lib:`
  flag.


g:ale_cs_mcsc_assemblies                             *g:ale_cs_mcsc_assemblies*
                                                     *b:ale_cs_mcsc_assemblies*
  Type: |List|
  Default: `[]`

  This variable defines a list of external assembly (*.dll) files required
  by the mono mcs compiler to generate a valid module target. The list is
  passed the mcs compiler using the `-r:` flag.

  For example: >

    " Compile C# programs with the Unity engine DLL file on Mac.
    let g:ale_cs_mcsc_assemblies = [
    \ '/Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/Frameworks/Managed/UnityEngine.dll',
    \ 'path-to-unityproject/obj/Debug',
    \]
