AyCode.Core.Serializers.SourceGenerator

Roslyn incremental source generator that produces optimized IGeneratedBinaryWriter and IGeneratedBinaryReader implementations for types marked with [AcBinarySerializable]. Eliminates runtime reflection on serialization hot paths.

Targets netstandard2.0 (required for Roslyn analyzers/generators).

Key Files

• AcBinarySourceGenerator.cs — Single-file IIncrementalGenerator (~2100 lines). Generates:
  • {ClassName}_GeneratedWriter — Per-type writer with ScanObject() + WriteProperties() methods. Handles primitives, strings (with interning), collections, dictionaries, complex nested types, and polymorphic objects.
  • {ClassName}_GeneratedReader — Per-type reader with ReadProperties() method.
  • ModuleInitializer — Auto-registers all generated writers/readers at startup.
  • Circular reference detection with ACBIN001 diagnostic warning.

Slot Allocation

Each generated writer reserves a unique type slot via AcBinarySerializer.AllocateWrapperSlot() (static field initializer, Interlocked.Increment).

• Slots 0–63 — reserved for runtime polymorphic types (assigned dynamically on first encounter)
• Slots 64+ — source-generated types (allocated at [ModuleInitializer] registration time)

Slot indices are NOT stable across compilations. The order depends on Roslyn's ForAttributeWithMetadataName() enumeration order, which may vary between builds. This is fine because slots are only meaningful within a single serialization/deserialization session — they are never persisted to disk or sent over the wire as slot indices (the wire format uses type names or metadata hashes for cross-session/cross-type compatibility).

Feature Flags

The [AcBinarySerializable] attribute supports per-type feature control:

• enableMetadata — Property hash metadata for cross-type deserialization
• enableIdTracking — IId-based reference tracking
• enableRefHandling — General reference tracking
• enableInternString — String interning/deduplication

Disabled features eliminate corresponding code blocks from generated output (zero dead code).
