C# Empty Statement

Question

The C# language specification defines the empty-statement grammar production, which allows me to do something like this:

static void Main(string[] a         


        

Answer 1

It allows have blocks of code IFDEF'd out, and the surrounding code still build. eg

if(true){
#if(DEBUG)
System.Console.WriteLine("Debug comment");
#endif
}

which could be written as an empty block, if you dislike brackets:

if(true)
#if(DEBUG)
   System.Console.WriteLine("Debug comment")
#endif
;
