BRO1518: Closing braces should not be preceded by blank line¶

A closing brace directly follows the code above it. Replaces StyleCop SA1508.

Example¶

public class Inventory
{
    public int Count(int[] items)
    {
        return items.Length;

    }
}

public class Inventory
{
    public int Count(int[] items)
    {
        return items.Length;
    }
}

A blank line before } separates nothing from nothing, and makes the end of the block harder to see.

The blank lines between the last line of code (or comment) and the } are removed.

This rule replaces the SDK's IDE2002, which writes merge conflict markers in multi-targeted projects under dotnet format (see decisions).

Below a // comment on its own line when BRO1506 is on (below a trailing comment, x(); // note, they are reported: BRO1506 skips those), and in an empty block ({, blank lines, }) when BRO1503 is on: those rules remove the same lines.

Same positions and output, apart from the places left to the rules above.
