Introduction

Avoid empty statements. These can happen if 2 semicolons are directly after each other. The empty statement hurts the readability of the code.

As this is usually just a mistake or merge artifact, its safe to remove. This is exactly what the CodeFixer does.

Code that triggers a diagnostic:

class BadExample
{
    public int BadMethod()
    {
        return 0; ;
    }
}

And the replacement code:

class GoodExample
{
    public void GoodMethod()
    {
        return 0;
    }
}

This analyzer does not offer any special configuration. The general ways of suppressing diagnostics apply.
