The mcs linter checks the syntax of the '*.cs' file loaded in the current
buffer only. It uses the --parse option of the mcs compiler and implicitly
sets the -unsafe flag.
The `mcs` linter looks only for syntax errors while you type. See |ale-cs-mcsc|
for the separately configured linter for checking for semantic errors.

See |ale-lint-file-linters| for more information on linters which do not

The paths to search for additional assembly ('*.dll') files can be

NOTE: ALE will not any errors in files apart from syntax errors if any one
of the source files contains a syntax error. Syntax errors must be fixed
first before other errors will be shown.
NOTE: mcs compiles sources in multiple phases. It stops compilation after
finding errors during the current phase.
For example assume a file named 'FileWithTypeError.cs' is edited and saved
which contains a Type error. In the same directory tree a file named
'FileWithSyntaxError.cs' exists which contains a syntax error
(eg.: a missing '{').
In that case mcs and thus mcsc linter will stop after the syntax check phase is
finished and report the syntax error in the file 'FileWithSyntaxError.cs'. The
Type error in the file 'FileWithTypeError.cs is not seen jet.
The only possibility to find the error in in 'FileWithTypeError.cs' is to fix
the syntax error in 'FileWithSyntaxError.cs' first. After saving mcs will
successfully pass the syntax check phase and advance to the next compilation
phase at which the Type error hidden in 'FileWithTypeError.cs' is found and
now can be indicated by ale.

This parameter can be used to define additional flags and parameters independent
