That's why this new analysis tracks the usage of values of the int type in your programs. It tracks the flow o

This blog post is a part of a series that covers various technical challenges that we had to resolve during the migration of the Rider backend process from Mono to .NET Core. By sharing our experiences, we hope to help those who are in the same boat. So far in this series, we’ve looked at: How Socket Error Codes Depend on Runtime and Operating System How Sorting Order Depends on Runtime and

This post is the first part of a blog post series that covers different technical challenges that we had to resolve during the migration of the Rider backend process from Mono to .NET Core.

After resolving hundreds of technical challenges, we are finally ready to present
