What does the pull request do?
This PR makes
AvaloniaPropertyMetadata
immutable after theAvaloniaProperty
using it is initialized.Rationale:
What is the current behavior?
The default property metadata can be modified after a property is initialized, by using the
Merge
method.What is the updated/expected behavior with this PR?
An
InvalidOperationException
is thrown when the metadata is modified.How was the solution implemented (if it's not obvious)?
A
Freeze()
method has been added toAvaloniaPropertyMetadata
.It would probably be better to have metadata effectively always immutable and have
Merge
return a new instance if needed instead of changing the current one, but that ship has sailed for v11 sinceMerge
is public.Breaking changes
Yes, this is a behavioral breaking change.
In practice, any code that would hit the exception was probably introducing a bug.
