C# DebuggerStepThrough Usage

Question

Is there any performance or resource overhead in keeping using System.Diagnostics and DebuggerStepThrough attributes in code that is compiled into production? Is it bad team practice to push these attributes into a repo branch shared by others, if their addition is your preference for debugging? Finally, I have seen this variation of the attribute in auto generated code: [System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()] . Is this format more concise in regard to what is used from System Diagnostics?

Answer 1

There won't be any performance issue because it has nothing to do with CLR. Below is the microsoft documentation that describes the DebuggerStepThroughAttribute. Hope this helps.
