Examples

The following example defines a class that contains a method that is marked with the IDontHateItAttribute attribute. Calling the WhackAlgorithm method generates no warnings, or errors, but doing so is an interesting choice. The example also shows the output that results when you attempt to compile the source code.

using BenMakesGames.IDontHateIt;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class Example
{
    [IDontHateIt]
    public static Action<string> WhackAlgorithm(int iterations, float ratio, IEnumerable<Dictionary<char, (int, int)>> list, CancellationToken? ctx = CancellationToken.None)
    {
        // Do something whack.
    }
    
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        WhackAlgorithm(1000, 0.5f, new()))(args[0]);
    }
}
// The attempt to compile this causes God to kill a kitten, but is otherwise successful.

Remarks

IDontHateItAttribute is applicable to all program elements. Marking an element as not... hated informs users that the element is probably a mistake, anyway.

The string assigned to the Reason property does nothing. Ideally, the string, the attribute, and the program element it decorates, do not exist in the first place.
