Does the C# 6 nameof get optimized out during build?

Question

For instance, if you have something like

class SomeClass
{
    public string SomeFieldName => nameof(SomeField);
    public int SomeField = 3;
}

Will the nameof() call get replaced with the string nameof() would return? In this case, "SomeField".

Answer 1

Yes. nameof is a language feature, not a CLR feature. It compiles down to a string constant.
