Use KernelPlatform.IsOnUnix() |
This analyzer provides the following strings:
| Context | String |
|---|---|
| Error List | Caller uses Environment.OSVersion.Platform == PlatformID.Unix instead of KernelPlatform.IsOnUnix() |
| Suggestion Box | Use KernelPlatform.IsOnUnix() instead of Environment.OSVersion.Platform == PlatformID.Unix |
| Description | KernelPlatform.IsOnUnix() is more readable and less verbose than Environment.OSVersion.Platform == PlatformID.Unix. |
This code analyzer detects the comparison of Environment.OSVersion.Platform against the Unix value.
Environment.OSVersion.Platform is an ancient way of determining the current operating system that Nitrocid is running on. As a result, it doesn't implement the macOS operating system detection, since it was considered as Unix.
As a result, KernelPlatform implements a handful of platform detection functions to allow you to more accurately detect your platform. Also, it simplifies the complicated platform checking statements to its simpler equivalent.
To get a brief insight about how this analyzer works, compare the two code blocks shown to you below:
public static void MyFunction()
{
bool value = Environment.OSVersion.Platform == PlatformID.Unix;
}
public static void MyFunction()
{
bool value = KernelPlatform.IsOnUnix();
}
You can suppress this suggestion by including it in the appropriate place, whichever is convenient.

We recommend that every caller which use this function use the recommended abovementioned method.
