F#: inline

Open cartermp opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

We'll need a way to show inline for F# type signatures when migrating the FSharp.Core API reference.

@cartermp Do you happen to know how/if this information is represented in the compiled assembly metadata? Is there an attribute on the method?

It doesn't look like it, no. Example. Similar to the units of measure issue, the tool would have to know about all F# constructs that are inline to be able to produce the correct signature.

So it's interesting ... when you're using constructs from that library in your own projects, how then does the compiler know to inline a given function?
