metalama-<version>

Aspect-oriented programming in C# uses Metalama to add cross-cutting concerns like logging without modifying business logic. You create a custom aspect by inheriting from `OverrideMethodAspect` and defining a T# template to inject the logging code at compile time.

A Metalama fabric is a compile-time class that programmatically applies aspects across a codebase. You should use fabrics to enforce architectural policies or bulk-apply aspects like caching and validation to entire namespaces or types without manually decorating every method.

Yes, Metalama uses compile-time aspects to validate method parameters and enforce contracts. By applying specific validation aspects, you can automatically inject precondition checks and throw exceptions for invalid arguments before the method executes.

To debug a Metalama aspect, use the Metalama.Debugging namespace and compile-time diagnostics. You can inspect the transformed code model, add warnings or errors to the build output, and review common pitfalls documented in the API reference.

Metalama performs compile-time metaprogramming by generating C# code during the build process. It allows you to implement aspects, templates, and fabrics that modify your codebase at compile time, ensuring there are no runtime penalties or external dependencies required.
