SourceLink supports feature "EmbedAllSources". It is well documented how to use this feature from a dotnet build. Is it possible to use the feature for a C++ build? How would I go about doing that?

    Unlike C#, C++ supports lots of compile time processing (e.g. templates don't exist at runtime). It is unclear what "embed all sources" means in the C++ context. If you want to expose some functionality, then I suppose `extern` is the standard way to do that. Otherwise what problem are you trying to solve? – freakish Apr 03 '20 at 07:32
  • @freakish I wanted to make my source code available when debugging on a remote system. If I was using GIT, SourceLink supports this natively, but I'm not using GIT, I'm using subversion. – Boinst Apr 03 '20 at 10:56

From GitHub:

The only feature currently supported is mapping of source files to the source repository that is used by the debugger to find source files when stepping into the code. Source embedding and embedding commit SHA and repository URL information in the native binary are not supported for native projects.

"Native" means C and C++, so no.

  • Thank you, on [re-reading](https://github.com/dotnet/sourcelink#using-source-link-in-c-projects) this part of the documentation several times, I agree with your answer, I appreciate it. – Boinst Apr 04 '20 at 03:54
