CLI should have options for all decompiler settings and/or option for loading ILSpy.xml

[lbmaian]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The CLI does not have options corresponding to all the decompiler settings available in the GUI

Instead, it only supports the following:

• language version defaults (--languageversion)
• RemoveDeadCode (--no-dead-code)
• RemoveDeadStores (--no-dead-stores)
• UseNestedDirectoriesForNamespaces (--nested-directories) in 8.0+

Describe the solution you'd like The CLI should either or both:

1. Provide options for all decompiler settings in https://github.com/icsharpcode/ILSpy/blob/master/ICSharpCode.Decompiler/DecompilerSettings.cs
2. Provide option to load such settings from an ILSpy.xml or the default one at %APPDATA%\ICSharpCode\ILSpy.xml

This should apply to both ilspycmd and the PowerShell equivalent

Do you need any of those? We picked what we considered "most common", and intentionally did not go for everything.

[lbmaian]

I just want to have the same settings I have in the GUI, and there's two ways to accomplish that: either add options for all the decompiler settings, or an option to load the same settings that the GUI uses (ILSpy.xml)

[christophwille]

"Just because" is not a justification. I specifically asked which ones you think are missing.

[lbmaian]

For my use case, "Always qualify member references" and "Always show enum member values"

[christophwille]

Via #2869 ilspycmd could now use settings classes.

Thanks, but I don't see any command line changes?

I'm not sure what ILSpyX even is - can't find any documentation concerning it.

[christophwille]

I said could, not is. ILSpyX is a shared library of classes that used to be in ILSpy (now split out for reuse in other Frontends)

And, yes https://github.com/icsharpcode/ILSpy/blob/master/ICSharpCode.ILSpyX/PackageReadme.md is very thin. But we don't expect more than a handful of consumers.

[lbmaian]

Thanks for the clarification.
