BRO1146: Write 'record' without 'class'¶

A record is a class unless it says struct, so record class R is written record R. A record struct keeps its keyword. Not a StyleCop rule: from Meziantou's MA0174 (MA0175 is the opposite style).

Example¶

Before¶

public record class Point(int X, int Y);

public record struct Size(int Width, int Height);

After¶

public record Point(int X, int Y);

public record struct Size(int Width, int Height);

Why¶

record alone has meant a reference type since C# 9; record class (C# 10) says the same with one more word. One form for the same thing.

How the fix works¶

The class keyword and the whitespace before it are removed.

Not reported¶

A comment between record and class.

Compared with StyleCop¶

StyleCop has no such rule. stylebro-migrate turns it off (see Rules beyond StyleCop).
