Can we get annotation framework generated files to include the opening comment: // <auto-generated/>

[lorenh]

We are using StyleCop.Analyzers and it's including the *_Generated.g.cs, and Program.g.cs files generated by the Amazon.Lambda.Annotations.SourceGenerator.Generator. It would be nice if they included

// <auto-generated/>

at the top of the file like Microsoft generators do, so they automatically get skipped by the analyzers. Is there any way to do this today, or would this be a change request.

Is that documented somewhere that if we add // <auto-generated/> it will get skipped? If so it would be simple enough to add the source generator to put that in the file.

That's a good question. I see it in all of the source generated by Microsoft code generators, and I see it in this sample:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/roslyn-sdk/source-generators-overview#get-started-with-source-generators

Looking for "official" documentation on it though.

Oh, here's something:

Thanks for the links. It does make sense to add the line to the generated code.

This should have been addressed via PR #1748 and available in Amazon.Lambda.Annotations v1.4.0 package.
