JetBrains Rider detects empty statements ; that are used in a context where they are not necessary. An example of a redundant empty statement is an empty statement within a block. To improve code readability, JetBrains Rider suggests removing redundant empty statements.

          
while (DoSomething()) ; // empty statement is required by the context

while (DoSomething())
{
    ;  // empty statement is redundant
}
