Mono Class Library: Gendarme.Rules.Performance Namespace

Gendarme.Rules.Performance.UseTypeEmptyTypesRule Class

This rule looks for methods that creates an empty (zero sized) array of System.Type. This value is so often required by the framework API that the System.Type includes a EmptyTypes field. Using this field avoids the memory allocation (and GC tracking) of your own array.
