Use collection expression for stackalloc (IDE0302)

Property	Value
Rule ID	IDE0302
Title	Use collection expression for stackalloc
Category	Style
Subcategory	Language rules (expression-level preferences)
Applicable languages	C# 12+
Options	`dotnet_style_prefer_collection_expression`

Overview

This rule is similar to Use collection expression for array (IDE0300) except it looks for stackalloc instead of arrays. Like IDE0300, it offers to convert the code to use a collection expression. For example, stackalloc int[] { ... } and stackalloc [] { ... } are simplified to [...].

Notiz

This rule is only available in .NET 8 and later versions where the values can be preserved on the stack.

Options specify the behavior that you want the rule to enforce. For information about configuring options, see Option format.

Property	Value	Description
Option name	dotnet_style_prefer_collection_expression
Option values	`true` \| `when_types_exactly_match`	Prefer to use collection expressions.
	`false` \| `never`	Disables the rule.
Default option value	`true`

// Code with violations.
ReadOnlySpan<int> x = stackalloc int[] { 1, 2, 3 };

// Fixed code.
ReadOnlySpan<int> x = [1, 2, 3];

If you want to suppress only a single violation, add preprocessor directives to your source file to disable and then re-enable the rule.

#pragma warning disable IDE0302
// The code that's violating the rule is on this line.
#pragma warning restore IDE0302

To disable the rule for a file, folder, or project, set its severity to none in the configuration file.
