ROSLYN HARDENS RAZOR FORMATTING, MACIOS FIXES RUNTIME RACE

By RepoJournal · Filed · About .NET

Roslyn expanded C# formatting options to all Razor features while fixing a critical top-level statements diagnostic that was only reporting one file per conflict [ref:1][ref:2].

The Roslyn team completed a multi-phase push to make formatting options consistent across all Razor features - completion, code actions, and resolve - eliminating null checks and making the implementation non-nullable [1][4]. In parallel, a fix now reports CS8802 errors on every file with top-level statements rather than just the entry point, so developers clicking the error list navigate directly to each problematic file [2]. A separate warning now catches the silent-then-crashes pattern of empty outer tags when transitioning from C# to markup [3].

On the macOS side, macios fixed a critical object_map race where an object's native init returning a different pointer than alloc could clobber another object's registration on a different thread [7]. The team also patched simulator runtime downloads to retry on transient network failures, and made generic registrar trampolines relocatable into companion assemblies for Hot Reload [5][6].

ASP.NET Core dropped the deprecated ApiDescription.Client package [8][9], while runtime optimized custom awaiters to eliminate boxing and restored non-stub method resolution in the cDAC [10][11]. 71 commits and 65 PRs landed across 5 repos in this period.
