    pub token: Token,
    pub offset: usize,
    pub parent: CilTypeReference,
    pub constructor: CilTypeReference,
    pub value: CustomAttributeValue,
}

Fields

rid: u32

RowID

token: Token

Implementations

impl CustomAttribute

pub fn apply(&self) -> Result<()>

Apply a CustomAttribute to attach it to its parent metadata element

This method attaches the custom attribute value to its resolved parent object by adding it to the parent’s custom attribute collection. The custom attribute value is stored as an Arc<CustomAttributeValue> for efficient memory usage and sharing.

Errors

Returns an error if the parent type is not supported for custom attributes or if custom attribute storage is not implemented for the parent type.
