This command is invoking the C# compiler (csc.exe
) included in the .NET Framework to compile a C# source file into a .NET assembly (DLL). Here's a breakdown of what the command does:
-
Path to the Compiler:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\csc.exe
: This is the path to the 64-bit version of the C# compiler for .NET Framework v4.0.30319.
-
Compiler Output Type:
/t:library
: Specifies that the output should be a library (a.dll
file), not an executable.
-
UTF-8 Output:
/utf8output
: Ensures compiler messages (such as errors) are written in UTF-8 encoding.
-
References to Assemblies:
/R:"System.dll"
and/R:"System.Core.dll"
: These add references to the standard.NET
system libraries (e.g., for basic functionality like types and LINQ)./R:"C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System.Management.Automation\v4.0_3.0.0.0__31bf3856ad364e35\System.Management.Automation.dll"
: Adds a reference to theSystem.Management.Automation
assembly, which is commonly used for PowerShell automation.
-
Output Location:
/out:"C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Temp\aeetqybn.dll"
: Specifies the compiled assembly will be written to this file.
-
Debug Symbols:
/debug-
: Disables the generation of debugging information, meaning the output will not include debug symbols.
-
Optimization:
/optimize+
: Enables compiler optimizations to make the generated assembly more efficient.- These settings appear redundant since
/optimize+
is present twice; the second occurrence is unnecessary but doesn't cause an error.
-
Warnings:
/warnaserror
: Treats all compilation warnings as errors, forcing the developer to address any issues before the code can compile.
-
Input File:
"C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Temp\aeetqybn.0.cs"
: This is the path to the C# source code file being compiled.
-
Compiler Version and Notes:
- After the command is executed, it shows the compiler version as
4.8.9037.0
, corresponding to the .NET Framework for C# 5. - It includes a message noting that the compiler only supports C# 5, which is no longer the latest version.
- After the command is executed, it shows the compiler version as
Summary:
This command compiles the C# source file located in C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Temp\aeetqybn.0.cs
into a .NET
assembly library (.dll
) named aeetqybn.dll
. It includes references to System.dll
, System.Core.dll
, and System.Management.Automation.dll
, optimizes the output, disables debugging information, and treats warnings as errors.
