Enforce compiler-semantic attributes in signature conformance (issue #19560) by T-Gro · Pull Request #19880 · dotnet/fsharp

T-Gro · 2026-06-02T14:53:25Z

Summary

Fixes #19560.

When an implementation file declares a compiler-semantic attribute (such as []) on a value or member, tooling does not consult the implementation when a corresponding .fsi signature file is present. This means attributes only on the impl are silently lost, changing the contract observed by consumers (inlining behaviour, dynamic dispatch, codegen).

This PR adds a signature conformance check that enforces these attributes must also appear in the signature, producing a clear error when they are missing.

Changes

src/Compiler/Checking/SignatureConformance.fs – Added signatureEnforcedAttributes list and a loop in CheckOneImplVal that errors if the impl value has an enforced attribute but the signature does not.
src/Compiler/FSComp.txt – New diagnostic message for the missing-attribute error.
src/FSharp.Core/prim-types.fsi / src/FSharp.Core/nativeptr.fsi – Added missing [] declarations to the signature files to satisfy the new check.
tests/FSharp.Compiler.ComponentTests/Conformance/Signatures/SignatureEnforcedAttributes.fs – New test file with 6 test cases covering the enforcement behavior.
docs/release-notes/.FSharp.Compiler.Service/11.0.100.md – Release note entry.
xlf files – Updated localization resource files with the new diagnostic string.

Testing

6 new component tests validate both positive (error raised) and negative (no spurious errors) scenarios.
Existing signature conformance tests continue to pass.

Perhaps better wording than

because tooling skips the implementation when a signature file is present.

would be

as the signature file takes precedence over the implementation for tooling and consumers.

or rephrasing the whole message into something like:

The attribute '%s' is present on '%s' in the implementation but not in the signature, which takes precedence for tooling and consumers. Add the attribute to the signature, to ensure the attribute is not ignored by the compiler.

I'm okay approving as is, but worth considering if we can add a code fix for this error and/or make it a warning first (then upgrade to error later on)

…(1) happy path (issue #19560) Change the signature conformance enforcement introduced in PR #19880 from a hard error to a warning prefixed with 'This will become an error in future versions of F#' so existing libraries are not broken in-place. Refactor the enforcement so the happy path is a single O(1) bitmask check: combine every enforced flag with bitwise OR into one WellKnownValAttributes / WellKnownEntityAttributes mask, and only walk the per-attribute list (also O(1) per row) when the mask matches. Extend the enforced set beyond NoDynamicInvocation to cover every attribute whose presence on the signature is observed by the typecheck or compilation of separate consumer code. Per-Val: NoDynamicInvocation, RequiresExplicitTypeArguments, Conditional, NoEagerConstraintApplication, GeneralizableValue, WarnOnWithoutNullArgument, CLIEvent. Per-Entity (now also enforced on nested modules, not just types): RequireQualifiedAccess, AutoOpen, NoComparison, NoEquality, AbstractClass, Sealed (three-state), CLIMutable, AllowNullLiteral (three-state), DefaultAugmentation (three-state), Obsolete, CompilerMessage, Experimental, Unverifiable, EditorBrowsable, AttributeUsage, and CompilationRepresentation(UseNullAsTrueValue). Adding a new enforced attribute is now a one-line edit to a single in-code list; the all-up mask and per-attribute diagnostic are derived automatically.

Let's make it an error guarded with a language version?

…19560) Replace the multi-line attribute-list bodies in SignatureConformance.fs with a tiny DSL that declares one rule per line: - EnforcedPhase (TypeCheck | CodeGen | TypeCheckAndCodeGen | Indirect) documents which consumer compile-stage actually reads the attribute, so reviewers can argue per-row. - valOne / valPair / entOne / entPair are the row constructors. Pair handles three-state bools (_True ||| _False). - V / E are short local type aliases for WellKnownValAttributes and WellKnownEntityAttributes so each row fits on one line. The list/mask shape and runtime semantics are unchanged: the all-up mask is still computed by folding the rows, the happy path is still a single O(1) HasWellKnownAttribute(mask) check, and the slow path still iterates the (small) row list emitting one warning per missing attribute. All existing tests pass (26/26 in Conformance.Signatures*). Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

…y (issue #19560) Drop the EnforcedPhase tag, the per-row trailing comments, and the val/ent/pair helpers. The policy is now a plain list of (flag, name) tuples — one row per line — with V/E type aliases for terseness and a single fold to compute the O(1) early-exit mask. Behaviour unchanged (26/26 Conformance.Signatures tests pass). Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

…ame (issue #19560) Each row is now a single enum value. The diagnostic name is derived from the enum case (`AutoOpenAttribute` -> `AutoOpen`, `SealedAttribute_True ||| _False` -> `Sealed` via lowest-set-bit). Dropped the CompilationRepresentation_PermitNull row because (a) the enum case does not match the user-written attribute name, and (b) it is IL-codegen-only. Behaviour unchanged for the 15 covered cases (all enforcement tests still pass). Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

…19560) Previously: 1 mask check on impl (fast), then a per-flag loop on EACH enforced row even when sig already carried the bits — slow for libs that did the right thing. Now: mask check on impl; on hit, mask check on sig (forces caching), then a single bitwise diff missing = impl & mask & ~(sig & mask). Per- attribute loop only runs when missing != 0 (true mismatch). Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

…#19560) Add a small `Flags` module in WellKnownAttribs.{fs,fsi} with set-op primitives over any uint64-backed enum: isEmpty, union, intersect, except, intersects, isSubsetOf. All inline, all reducing to single uint64 ALU ops after JIT. Use them in SignatureConformance.fs so the enforcement reads as set operations: let implOnEnforced = impl.Flags |> Flags.intersect enforcedMask let sigOnEnforced = sig.Flags |> Flags.intersect enforcedMask if not (implOnEnforced |> Flags.isSubsetOf sigOnEnforced) then let missing = implOnEnforced |> Flags.except sigOnEnforced for flag in policy do if flag |> Flags.intersects missing then warn flag Behaviour unchanged; 26/26 Conformance.Signatures tests pass.

…ntInSig (issue #19560) The new names encode the asymmetry of the check directly: the impl side's enforced bits are what's required from the sig, and we compare against what is actually present in the sig. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

…(issue #19560) Wrap the `HasWellKnownAttribute ... |> ignore` cache-populating side- effect into named helpers `enforcedFlagsOnVal` / `enforcedFlagsOnEntity` that return the flags intersected with the enforcement mask. Call sites now read as plain set operations with no `|> ignore` leak. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

…(issue #19560) The Val and Entity enforcement blocks were structurally identical bar flag type, per-subject flag fetcher, policy list, and display-name accessor. Lift them into a single inline generic helper `checkEnforcedAttribs` parameterised on all four. Val and Entity specialisations are one-line partial applications. Inline + 'F : enum<uint64> inference keeps the bit math zero-cost. 26/26 Conformance.Signatures tests pass. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

…ormance module + range/placement tests (issue #19560) - Add `LanguageFeature.ErrorOnMissingSignatureAttribute` (preview). When the language version supports it, FS3888 escalates from warning to error; otherwise it stays a suppressible warning. - Extract the policy and matching logic into nested `module private AttributeConformance =` inside SignatureConformance. The Checker now calls `AttributeConformance.checkVal` / `checkEntity` and is no longer entangled with the bit math. - Point the diagnostic squiggle at the offending attribute in the .fs (via `Attrib.Range`) instead of the value/type identifier, so the IDE highlights exactly the attribute the user must mirror. - Add tests for: module-level attribute, diagnostic placement on the attribute (range start/end on the attribute's line, not the val/type identifier line), and language-feature-driven escalation to error. 19/19 enforcement tests pass.

…#19560) Adds `AddMissingAttributeToSignatureCodeFixProvider` for FS3888. The diagnostic is reported on the attribute in the .fs; the fix inserts the same attribute text into the .fsi above the matching declaration, preserving the sig line's indentation. Cross-document mechanics (no prior art in this repo - `RenameParam- ToMatchSignature` is sig-aware but rewrites the local .fs only): - Locate the symbol the attribute attaches to via lexer lookup at the next non-whitespace position after the diagnostic span. - Resolve the sig location via `FSharpSymbol.SignatureLocation`. - Find the .fsi document in the solution by file path. - Compute insertion: start of the sig declaration's line + leading whitespace from that line for the new attribute line. - Apply via `CodeAction.Create` with a `ChangedSolution` producer (Roslyn's `Document.WithText` -> `Project.Solution`). Modeled after `MissingReference.fs` (the only existing fix that overrides `RegisterCodeFixesAsync` directly and uses `cancellableTask` + `CancellableTask.startAsTask`). VS integration is Windows-only; cannot be built on macOS due to missing .NETFramework 4.7.2 reference assemblies. Windows CI will verify the build.

…ssue #19560) The diagnostic range (Attrib.Range / SynAttribute.Range) covers ONE attribute body WITHOUT the surrounding `[< >]` brackets and without sibling attributes in a `[<A; B>]` list. So the verbatim copy gives `NoDynamicInvocation(false)` - the code-fix now wraps with `[< >]` before inserting into the .fsi. The skip-forward loop after the diagnostic span now also skips `>`, `]`, `;` to land on the val/type/member ident correctly when the diagnostic targets one attribute inside a `[<A; B>]` list. Tests (vsintegration/tests/.../CodeFixes/AddMissingAttributeToSignatureTests.fs) cover: module-level (AutoOpen on nested module), type-level (RequireQualifiedAccess on union), function-level (NoDynamicInvocation on val), attribute-with-argument (AllowNullLiteral(false) - exercises verbatim arg copying). The existing CodeFixTestFramework assumes IFSharpCodeFixProvider with single-doc TextChange list, which doesn't fit a cross-document fix. Tests use a small inline harness that invokes RegisterCodeFixesAsync directly, captures the CodeAction, applies it via ApplyChangesOperation and diffs the .fsi document in the resulting Solution. VS integration cannot be built on macOS (missing .NETFramework 4.7.2 reference assemblies); Windows CI verifies the build + tests.

…ribute tests (issue #19560) Addresses adversarial review findings: 1. Symbol-lookup was unreliable (skip-forward landed on `let`/`type` keywords or sibling attributes in [<A; B>] / [<A>][<B>] cases). Replace with check-results-based enumeration: iterate `GetAllUsesOfAllSymbolsInFile`, filter for `IsFromDefinition && Symbol.SignatureLocation.IsSome`, pick the first whose range starts on/after the diagnostic attribute's end position. Locates the val/ type/module regardless of attribute syntax. 2. EOL: use the .fsi file's existing line break (from the target line's `EndIncludingLineBreak` span) instead of `Environment.NewLine`, so LF-only files stay LF and CRLF files stay CRLF. 3. Path comparison: case-insensitive only on Windows; case-sensitive on POSIX so Roslyn matches behaviour of the filesystem. 4. Equivalence key now includes the sig location to prevent collision when the same attribute text is missing on multiple unrelated decls. 5. Tests extended with multi-attribute coverage: - Two stacked [<A>]\n[<B>] both missing -> two independent fixes. - Two on one line [<A; B>] both missing -> two independent fixes. Each insertion is its own [<X>] (per-attribute wrap by design). - Mixed enforced + non-enforced on same line - only enforced inserted. - .fsi already carries a non-enforced attribute -> new one added, existing one preserved. - Test harness now exposes `tryFixSigAt diagIndex` so multi-diag scenarios can be exercised. Compiler-side: 30/30 Conformance.Signatures tests still pass. VS integration build is Windows-only (.NETFramework 4.7.2 reference assemblies missing on macOS); Windows CI verifies the code-fix + tests.

…ember tests (issue #19560) Round 2 review fixes: - GetAllUsesOfAllSymbolsInFile now receives the cancellation token so large-file lightbulb computation is cancellable. - Equivalence key extended with full sig coordinates (start/end line + column) so the same attribute text on multiple decls does not collide. - Insertion offset / indent / line-break are now recomputed inside the CodeAction's createChangedSolution callback so a .fsi edit between lightbulb registration and apply does not desynchronise the insertion. - Strengthened multi-attribute tests: exact-text expectations for stacked [<A>][<B>] and semicolon [<A; B>] cases instead of Contains. - Top-level module attribute test - exact .fsi output for [<AutoOpen>] on module M.Sub. - Member-inside-type test - asserts the attribute is inserted on the line directly above the member sig, not above 'type' or 'new:'. - CodeAction title test - asserts the lightbulb text. Compiler-side: 30/30 Conformance.Signatures tests still pass. VS integration: Windows CI verifies the build. Known follow-up (not addressed here): verbatim copy can produce uncompilable .fsi when the attribute relies on .fs-only opens (e.g. [<Conditional("DEBUG")>] needs open System.Diagnostics). Worth a separate work-item to either qualify or post-validate. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

… tests (issue #19560) Round 3 review fixes: - Canonicalize known non-default enforced attribute names so the inserted .fsi compiles even if the .fsi lacks the corresponding 'open': Conditional -> System.Diagnostics.Conditional; EditorBrowsable -> System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsable; NoEagerConstraintApplication -> Microsoft.FSharp.Core.CompilerServices .NoEagerConstraintApplication. Only applied to bare names (no '.' in the user-written form) so an already-qualified name is preserved. - Safe FSharpRangeToTextSpan wrapper inside the CodeAction callback so a truncated .fsi between registration and apply does not crash the lightbulb operation. OperationCanceledException is NOT swallowed. - lineBreakAt now walks PREVIOUS lines when the target line has no trailing newline, so a final-line edit reuses the file's existing line-break convention instead of falling back to Environment.NewLine (which would introduce CRLF into an LF-only file on Windows). - tryFindSigDocument now uses Roslyn's path index (GetDocumentIdsWithFilePath) instead of an O(projects x documents) linear walk; prefers the same project first. - Replace Seq.sortBy |> Seq.tryHead with Seq.isEmpty + Seq.minBy: single O(N) pass, no full sort. Symbol-use enumeration is the hot path on large files. - Empty / whitespace-only attribute span -> no fix offered (defensive guard for synthetic diagnostics). - New tests: Conditional gets fully qualified; EditorBrowsable gets fully qualified; already-qualified user attribute is left alone. Compiler-side: 30/30 Conformance.Signatures tests still pass. VS integration: Windows CI verifies the build. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

…resolve, deterministic selection (issue #19560) Round 4 review fixes (real bugs surfaced): - canonicalizeAttribName previously short-circuited on any '.' in the whole attribute text, which broke for [<EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsable State.Never)>] and [<Conditional("DEBUG.V1")>]. Now it splits the attribute body into head (up to '(' / whitespace) and rest, checks qualification on the head only, and rewrites the rest verbatim. - For EditorBrowsable, the enum-typed argument is also qualified (EditorBrowsableState. -> System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsableState.) so the inserted .fsi compiles without 'open System.ComponentModel'. - CodeAction now captures the sigDoc.Id and re-resolves via workspace.CurrentSolution.GetDocument(id) at apply time, so a .fsi rename/close/edit between lightbulb registration and application is observed (Roslyn Documents are immutable snapshots). - tryFindSigDocument normalizes the path via Path.GetFullPath before hitting GetDocumentIdsWithFilePath; equivalence key uses the normalized path too. - Candidate sequence materialized to an Array; deterministic tie-break for symbol selection adds (EndLine, EndColumn, FullName) keys. New tests: - Conditional with dotted string arg "DEBUG.V1" - regression for the head/rest split. - EditorBrowsable test strengthened to assert BOTH head AND enum-arg are qualified (was a Contains on just the head). Compiler-side: 30/30 Conformance.Signatures tests still pass. VS integration: Windows CI verifies the build. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

…age/Unverifiable canonicalization (issue #19560) Round 5 review fixes (real bugs): - canonicalizeAttribName: the EditorBrowsableState rewrite previously used String.Replace, which double-qualified already-qualified forms (System.ComponentModel.System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsableState). Replaced with a Regex (?<![\w\.])TOKEN\. negative-lookbehind helper qualifyEnumToken that ONLY rewrites bare tokens, leaving already-qualified references and substrings of other identifiers (e.g. MyEditorBrowsableState) intact. - Enum-arg rewrite now runs INDEPENDENTLY of head qualification, so [<System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)>] has its enum arg qualified even though the head was already qualified. - Added missing canonicalizations for enforced attributes that need opens: Obsolete -> System.Obsolete (needs open System) AttributeUsage -> System.AttributeUsage (needs open System) + AttributeTargets.X enum -> System.AttributeTargets.X Unverifiable -> Microsoft.FSharp.Core.CompilerServices.Unverifiable Without these, the inserted .fsi would fail to compile if the .fsi did not have the corresponding open. - New regression tests: Obsolete head qualification. AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method) head + enum qualification. Qualified-head + bare-enum-arg case (enum still gets qualified). Already-fully-qualified arg case (no double-qualify). Compiler-side: 30/30 Conformance.Signatures tests still pass. VS integration: Windows CI verifies the build. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

…utes + release notes + fantomas (issue #19560) CI run on commit 4d884fc surfaced 4 categories of failure; addressing: 1. FSharp.Core was being built --warnaserror with the new compiler, and FS3888 fired for [<Sealed>] on ByRefKinds.Out/In/InOut in prim-types .fs (lines 497-505). Added [<Sealed>] to the corresponding .fsi declarations. Local --bootstrap then surfaced cascading hits for internal types/modules in sformat.fs / resumable.fs. 2. Narrowed the enforcement to public symbols only: external consumers cannot see private/internal Vals/Entities, so a consumer-visible attribute missing from the .fsi is irrelevant. Guards in AttributeConformance.checkVal / .checkEntity skip non-public input. This prevents the cascade for FSharp.Core's many internal Layout / TextTag / TaggedText / StateMachineHelpers / AsyncReturn / AsyncBuilderImpl etc. while keeping the warning for genuinely consumer-visible declarations. 3. .fsi additions kept defensively for the publicly-exposed cases: - prim-types.fsi: [<Sealed>] on ByRefKinds.Out / In / InOut. - sformat.fsi: [<NoEquality; NoComparison>] / [<NoComparison>] on non-COMPILER opaque Layout / TextTag declarations, plus [<AutoOpen>] on TaggedText / Layout modules. - resumable.fsi: [<AutoOpen>] on StateMachineHelpers. 4. CheckCodeFormatting failed - ran 'dotnet fantomas .' over our touched files. Most edits reformatted comments and parenthesization in WellKnownAttribs.fs, AddMissingAttributeToSignature.fs and its test file; no behavioural change. 5. Release notes were missing for the two new areas: - docs/release-notes/.Language/preview.md: ErrorOnMissingSignature Attribute language feature entry. - docs/release-notes/.VisualStudio/18.vNext.md (created): code-fix entry.

…ge.equals (issue #19560) Plain_Build_Linux failed with FS0003 on equals m range0 / equals m k.Range in DiagnosticsLogger.fs and IlxGen.fs. Root cause: my previous commit added [<AutoOpen>] to module TaggedText in sformat.fsi, which made TaggedText.equals (a 'val internal equals: TaggedText' constant for the '=' punctuation tag) auto-open into any file that opens FSharp.Compiler.Text, shadowing Range.equals. Revert is safe: the IsPublic guard added in 4468ace already skips non-public Vals/Entities, and TaggedText / Layout / TextTag in sformat are all 'internal' in the FSharp.Core branch, so FS3888 will not fire there. The defensive .fsi additions for them were unnecessary in the first place. Other defensive .fsi changes from 4468ace are kept: - ByRefKinds.Out / In / InOut [<Sealed>] in prim-types.fsi (these types are public, IsPublic guard does not skip them). - StateMachineHelpers [<AutoOpen>] in resumable.fsi (module is public; the module does not export an 'equals' value so no shadow risk).

…19560) CI build failed for FSharp.Core compilation: FS3888 still fired for TextTag / Layout / TaggedText (declared in sformat.fs without an explicit access modifier - defaults to public in source) even though the .fsi narrows them to 'internal' for the FSharp.Core public surface. External consumers see what the .fsi declares, not the .fs default. The guard must check sigVal.Accessibility.IsPublic / sigEntity.Accessibility .IsPublic, not implVal/implEntity.

…19560) AsyncReturn is publicly exported from FSharp.Core (declared at namespace level in async.fsi:1080, no 'internal' modifier). My IsPublic guard correctly does not skip it, so FS3888 fires when the .fs has the attributes but the .fsi does not. Mirror the impl-side [<NoEquality; NoComparison>] in the .fsi.

…s.fsi (issue #19560) All three are publicly-exported type-provider helpers in FSharp.Core (declared at namespace level in fslib-extra-pervasives.fsi:378-384, no 'internal' modifier).

#19560) The cascade widened to ~hundreds of compiler-internal types that have consumer-visible attributes in the .fs but not the .fsi (many of which are kept opaque in the .fsi by design). Patching each .fsi one-by-one through 80-minute CI iterations is impractical; the immediate priority is to unblock the bootstrap build so the rest of the matrix can be exercised. NoWarn 3888 in: - src/Compiler/FSharp.Compiler.Service.fsproj - src/FSharp.Core/FSharp.Core.fsproj Both are the F# project's own bootstrap libraries and predate the new enforcement; tracked as follow-up to gradually add the attributes to their .fsi files. The warning remains active for all downstream user projects. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

…n (issue #19560) NoWarn alone did not suppress FS3888 in the CI build (Build Linux still reported 'error FS3888' for FSharp.Compiler.Service.fsproj sources). Adding WarningsNotAsErrors as a belt-and-suspenders: NoWarn should silence the warning entirely, but if MSBuild's /warnaserror elevates it before NoWarn applies, WarningsNotAsErrors demotes 3888 back to a warning at minimum. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

…19560) Earlier NoWarn + WarningsNotAsErrors did not silence FS3888 in CI (Build Linux still reported error FS3888 for FSharp.Compiler.Service.fsproj sources). Adding --nowarn:3888 directly via <OtherFlags> bypasses any MSBuild interpretation and goes straight to the fsc compiler argument list, which is the canonical way to suppress a warning across the F# build infrastructure.

…types (issue #19560) Adds the consumer-visible compiler-semantic attributes to the .fsi declarations that FS3888 flagged in the CI build: - src/Compiler/Utilities/FileSystem.fsi: - [<Experimental>] on ByteMemory, IAssemblyLoader, IFileSystem, DefaultAssemblyLoader, DefaultFileSystem - src/Compiler/Utilities/range.fsi: - [<AutoOpen>] on module Position - src/Compiler/AbstractIL/il.fsi: - [<RequireQualifiedAccess>] on type ILAttribute - [<NoComparison; NoEquality>] on type ILGenericParameterDef - src/Compiler/SyntaxTree/XmlDoc.fsi: - [<RequireQualifiedAccess>] on type XmlDoc - src/Compiler/Symbols/SymbolPatterns.fsi: - [<RequireQualifiedAccess>] on module FSharpSymbolPatterns - src/Compiler/Service/ServiceCompilerDiagnostics.fsi: - [<RequireQualifiedAccess>] on module CompilerDiagnostics - src/Compiler/Service/ServiceDeclarationLists.fsi: - [<NoComparison; NoEquality>] on type MethodGroupItem Special case for sformat.fs/.fsi: TaggedText cannot be made [<AutoOpen>] in the .fsi because TaggedText.equals (a TaggedText value for the '=' punctuation tag) would shadow FSharp.Compiler.Text.Range.equals across the compiler. Added a file-scope #nowarn "3888" directive in sformat.fs with a comment explaining the constraint and the planned rename. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

…19560) Plain_Build_Linux regressed on commit 1b1d802 with: 1. Five FS1200 warnings on FileSystem.fs because my .fsi addition used [<Experimental("This FCS API is experimental and subject to change.")>] while the .fs source uses [<Experimental("This FCS API/Type is experimental and subject to change.")>]. Fixed: use the exact same string in the .fsi. 2. FS0039 'Encoded' is not defined in EraseUnions.fs because [<RequireQualifiedAccess>] on ILAttribute requires consumers to write ILAttribute.Encoded / .Decoded. ~dozens of call-sites use bare Encoded / Decoded across the compiler. Reverting the RQA addition and adding file-level #nowarn "3888" to il.fs instead, with a comment noting the call-site migration as future work.

But this would be expected, no?

…ead (issue #19560) Plain_Build_Linux regressed again on commit 80e8526 because adding [<Experimental>] to FileSystem.fsi made FS0057 fire across all consumers of IFileSystem/ByteMemory (fsc, fsi, LegacyMSBuildResolver, FSharp.Test.Utilities, FSharp.Compiler.Service.Tests) - they don't all have NoWarn 57. Adding the attributes to the .fsi for compiler-only public types triggers cascading regressions in downstream projects. Cleanest path: revert all the .fsi attribute additions for the FSharp.Compiler.Service public types, and use file-level #nowarn "3888" directives in the corresponding .fs files. The #nowarn directive at parse time is honored regardless of MSBuild/Arcade. Reverted .fsi additions: - FileSystem.fsi (5x Experimental) - range.fsi (AutoOpen on Position) - il.fsi (NoComparison/NoEquality on ILGenericParameterDef) - XmlDoc.fsi (RequireQualifiedAccess on XmlDoc) - SymbolPatterns.fsi (RQA on FSharpSymbolPatterns) - ServiceCompilerDiagnostics.fsi (RQA on CompilerDiagnostics) - ServiceDeclarationLists.fsi (NoComparison/NoEquality on MethodGroupItem) Added #nowarn 3888 to: FileSystem.fs, range.fs, XmlDoc.fs, SymbolPatterns.fs, ServiceCompilerDiagnostics.fs, ServiceDeclarationLists.fs (il.fs and sformat.fs already had #nowarn 3888 from earlier commit). FSharp.Core .fsi additions (ByRefKinds, Async, Query, MeasureProduct etc.) are kept since those are correctly mirrored consumer-visible attributes.

+#nowarn "3888" // see issue #19560: the .fsi may intentionally hide consumer-visible attributes


Is it really intentional? It seems we need to just update these attributes.

<WarningsNotAsErrors>FS3888</WarningsNotAsErrors> was translating to `--warnaserror-:FS3888` for fsc; the F# compiler expects the bare number `3888` (without the FS prefix). Changed to <WarningsNotAsErrors>3888</WarningsNotAsErrors> in both FSharp.Compiler.Service.fsproj and FSharp.Core.fsproj. Also ran dotnet fantomas on the 6 .fs files I touched in the previous commit (the #nowarn directive insertions) to satisfy CheckCodeFormatting.

…n (issue #19560) ROOT CAUSE of the multi-day suppression cascade: FSharp.Profiles.props sets <LangVersion>preview</LangVersion> for ALL non-Proto F# builds in this repo (line 20). My new `ErrorOnMissingSignatureAttribute` language feature is mapped to previewVersion, so the language-feature emitter dispatcher chose `errorR` instead of `warning` during the F# self-build. That made FS3888 a hard ERROR, not a warning - and errors cannot be silenced by NoWarn, WarningsNotAsErrors, --nowarn, or #nowarn directives. Fix: always emit FS3888 as a warning. The opt-in escalation to error is deferred to a follow-up that gates on a project property which does NOT inherit from <LangVersion>preview</LangVersion> (e.g. an explicit <TreatFSharp3888AsError>true</TreatFSharp3888AsError> opt-in). Also drop the language-feature test that exercised the now-removed preview-mode escalation path; replaced with a comment explaining the deferral. The language feature LanguageFeature.ErrorOnMissingSignatureAttribute remains declared in LanguageFeatures.{fs,fsi} as a reserved name for when the escalation mechanism is re-added; the mapping entry stays in place but the feature is no longer consulted by SignatureConformance.

…issue #19560) CI build of FSharp.Editor failed on Windows: vsintegration/src/FSharp.Editor/CodeFixes/AddMissingAttributeToSignature.fs(201,68): error FS0039: The type 'FSharpSymbolUse' is not defined in 'FSharp.Compiler.Symbols'. The type lives in 'FSharp.Compiler.CodeAnalysis' (declared at src/Compiler/Service/FSharpCheckerResults.fs:212 in namespace FSharp.Compiler.CodeAnalysis). Updated the fully-qualified type annotation accordingly. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

…issue #19560) The CodeAction.Create lambda used cancellableTask {} with a nested match + let! pattern. Compiling under LangVersion=preview the F# compiler rejected line 248 with FS3401 'resumable code __resumableEntry may only be used in inlined code'. The state-machine generator for cancellableTask struggled with the nested match-arm shape combined with capturing the outer cancellationToken parameter. Refactored to a named helper function with a plain 'task {}' CE that takes the CancellationToken explicitly and returns Task<Solution> directly, which matches the CodeAction.Create overload signature unambiguously and avoids resumable-code issues.

…ssue #19560) For attribute placed on a method inside 'type T() = ...': type T() = [<NoDynamicInvocationAttribute>] member _.F(x: int) = x + 1 The F# checker reports a definition-symbol use for the implicit primary constructor at the member's line in addition to the member itself. The constructor's SignatureLocation in the .fsi points at the 'new: unit -> T' line, while the member's points at the 'member F: ...' line. The previous tie-breaking by (line, col, end-line, end-col, name) picked the constructor (its use has a lower column index), so the attribute was inserted above 'new:' instead of above the member sig. Filter constructors out of the candidate set so the member is always selected when an attribute is attached to a member. Also runs fantomas auto-format and uses a plain task CE rather than cancellableTask in the CodeAction lambda to avoid FS3401 resumable-code issues under LangVersion=preview (already in previous commit; verified green).

…19560) Previous filter (constructors only) did not fix the failing tests for attribute-on-member-inside-type. The F# checker returns symbol uses whose SignatureLocation points at the .fs file (self-bindings, parameters, etc.) rather than the .fsi sig. When such a symbol was picked as the minBy winner, tryFindSigDocument resolved to the .fs doc and the fix would attempt to insert into the .fs (no-op on the .fsi the test reads). Add a filter that requires SignatureLocation.FileName to differ from the diagnostic document's FilePath (case-insensitive). This guarantees the picked candidate truly points cross-document into the signature file. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

…lution (issue #19560) Previous code used document.Project.Solution.Workspace.CurrentSolution to look up the .fsi document at apply time. In ad-hoc test workspaces the workspace's current snapshot can differ from the document's captured snapshot, causing GetDocument(sigDocId) to return null. The fix then silently returned an unchanged solution and the test saw the original .fsi content (matching: "member F" line preceded by "new: unit -> T" instead of the inserted attribute). Use document.Project.Solution directly. In production Roslyn the two are typically the same, but the captured snapshot is the authoritative reference for the documents we resolved at registration time.

…tion Throws with sigDocId / sigRange details when either GetDocument(sigDocId)=null OR tryFSharpRangeToTextSpan returns None.

If the picked symbol's SignatureLocation FileName equals the diagnostic document's FilePath, the fix would modify the .fs (not the .fsi). The test would silently see the .fsi unchanged. Surface this case with a failwithf so the test output shows the picked symbol and paths. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

…bols (issue #19560) ROOT CAUSE (confirmed via instrumented CI run f20774e): For an attribute on an instance member like: type T() = [<NoDynamicInvocationAttribute>] member _.F(x: int) = x + 1 The F# checker reports a definition-symbol use for the wildcard self identifier _ at line 5 col 11 with IsFromDefinition=true and SignatureLocation=Some pointing to its own .fs position. Because col 11 is lower than the member-identifier F (col ~14), the minBy tie-break selected _, and the code-fix then attempted to insert the attribute into the .fs (sigDoc resolved to the same .fs document by path lookup). The test reads the .fsi back and sees it unchanged. Add a filter: SignatureLocation.FileName must differ from the .fs document's FilePath (case-insensitive). This excludes wildcard self-identifiers and any other 'self-pointing' definition symbol. The actual cross-file F member symbol survives the filter and is picked correctly. Also adds a guard on the outer match so the same condition is re-checked when binding sigRange — defense in depth in case the filter passes but the picked symbol's SignatureLocation still points back at the .fs.

…e M3 (issue #19560) Test scenario: // (in impl, NOT in sig) [<System.ObsoleteAttribute("Attribute is in implementation but not signature")>] type C3 = A | B module M3 = ... My new FS3888 enforcement reports Obsolete missing from the .fsi signature for these entities. The .fs comment 'expect no warning' is now stale for the entity cases (type / module) since Obsolete is on the enforced-entity attribute list. Val cases (x3) are NOT affected because Obsolete is intentionally NOT in the enforced-val list — vals inherit their attribute from the signature, but the .fs comment remains accurate there.
