Source Generate debug is really tough!

[juepiezhongren]

1. i have to do insert code into my generator to make debug possible

#if DEBUG
            if (!Debugger.IsAttached) {
                Debugger.Launch();
            }
#endif

2. and i have to edit csproj file, rebuild .... to make generator stop debug

these r terrible

Can you open a discussion about this on dotnet/Roslyn please?

Thanks

The similar discussion exists #50606, but unanswered

I suppose a workaround, in the meantime, could be to put above code inside if (attribute exists in destination assembly) block instead of an #IF DEBUG block.

And then, in the destination assembly, you could have the said attribute inside an #if DEBUG block.

Would that work?
