I was stepping through .Net Framework source code to find a tricky bug (HttpApplication.cs), and I noticed lines like these in the code (these are copy/pastes, I didn’t edit anything):
_[....] = true;
and
_[....] = false;
I’m wondering if this is obfuscated code, or is this some sort of c# convention I’ve never seen before? VS 2012 seems to think its not real code.
Can anyone enlighten me?
The name of the field as it exists in the actual HttpApplication.cs code is “_sync”. There is an automated tool which is run over the source before it goes out to the general public; this tool scrubs things like developers’ names, etc. It looks like this was just a false positive. I’ll bring it up with the appropriate team to see if it can be corrected.
