Can Mono Gendarme run on source files?

Question

I understood that tool only runs on .net assemblies. Is there any way to make it run on source files instead ? Even if it requires source modification , i would like to know the possibility.

Thanks

No, it can't. The way it works is by inspecting the IL code from the compiled binary, so source code modifications wouldn't help. It's not a significant limitation, anyway (if you make heavy use of conditionals you will want to run it on the binaries built with the different flags).
