Interface IDeclaration

Represent a declaration.

[CompileTime]
public interface IDeclaration : IDisplayable, IDiagnosticLocation, ICompilationElement, IMeasurable, IEquatable<IDeclaration>

The IDeclaration interface implements IEquatable<T>. The implementation uses the Default comparer. To use a different comparer, choose a different comparer from IDeclaration.Compilation.Comparers.

Name	Description
Attributes	Gets the collection of custom attributes on the declaration.
BelongsToCurrentProject	Gets a value indicating whether the current declaration is declared to the current project. It returns `false` for declarations declared in referenced projects or assemblies.
ContainingDeclaration	Gets the containing declaration, such as a INamedType for nested types or for methods. For non-nested types, returns the containing assembly (and not the namespace, use ContainingNamespace for that).
DeclaringAssembly	Gets the declaring assembly, which can be the current Compilation or a reference assembly.
Depth	Gets the depth of the current declaration in the code model. The value of the Depth property has no absolute meaning, only a relative one, i.e. it is only relevant when comparing the depth of two declarations. A declaration has always a greater depth than the declaration in which it is contained. A type has always a greater depths than the base it derives from or the interfaces it implements.
GenericContext	Gets the IGenericContext for the current declaration.
IsImplicitlyDeclared	Gets a value indicating whether the member is implicitly declared, i.e. declared without being represented in source code. Returns `false` if it is explicitly declared in code.
Origin	Gets the origin of the current declaration.
Sources	Gets the set of syntax nodes of the source code that declare the current declaration, or an empty set if the current declaration is not backed by source code.

Name	Description
ToRef()	Gets a reference to the compilation, which can be used to identify the current declaration in a different revision of the compilation. The reference object is compile-time serializable. It is guaranteed to be deserializable in a different process, even with a different version of Metalama.
ToSerializableId()	Gets a serializable identifier for the current declaration. This identifier is guaranteed to be deserializable in a different process, even with a different version of Metalama.
