Cache to DLL in a scripting host?

[Markus Burrer]

In the wiki it is only described how to use the -cache flag with the scriptcs command. But is it also possible to cache scripts as DLL's on a scripting host? This would speed up the start up time of the host application

Yes it is possible. scriptcs.exe just calls to our libs. We use the CSharpPersistentEngine to do this: https://github.com/scriptcs/scriptcs/blob/dev/src/ScriptCs.Engine.Roslyn/CSharpPersistentEngine.cs. It will based on the filename check if a dll is present, if not it will compile and persist. 

When you create your ScriptcsServicesBuilder, you can set call builder.ScriptEngine<CsharpPersistentEngine>() before calling build().

Thanks

How to check if the scriptcs use new compile dll or load from cache dll?
