Sending a Roslyn pull request to contribute to next version of C# compiler and VS IDE
In this section, we will walk you through the steps to follow to send a pull request to contribute to the next version of the Roslyn compilers and Visual Studio IDE.
Getting Started
You need to ensure that you have installed Git tools, VS2017 with .NET development and VS Extensiblity workloads and have enlisted and built Roslyn sources. For reference, see the recipe, Setting up Roslyn enlistment, at the start of this chapter.
How to do it...
- It is recommended that you create a Roslyn issue at https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/issues for your planned work and also discuss it with Roslyn team members prior to coding to avoid any unnecessary or redundant work.
- Make the source changes that you would like to contribute to the Roslyn code base in your local enlistment. For example, execute the recipe, Implementing a new semantic error in the C# compiler code base, covered earlier in this chapter.
- Add sufficient unit...
