I found an interesting article on CodeProject: How to crash MS C# Compiler!.
These are interesting issues. I am not a compiler guy (meaning I do not write compilers) but still it is interesting.
Case 1 - ++ operator overload
1: public class TestClass
2: { 3: public static TestClass operator ++(TestClass ts)
4: { 5: return new TestClass();
6: }
7: }
8:
9: public class MyTest
10: { 11: public TestClass TestProperty
12: { 13: get
14: { 15: return new TestClass();
16: }
17: }
18:
19: public void BadMethod()
20: { 21: TestProperty++; // <-- PROBLEM HERE
22: }
Case 2 - null array
1: void SomeMethod()
2: { 3: //const AnyType[] X = null;
4: const int[] X = null;
5: }
Case 3 - Attribute with delegate
1: public delegate void Proc();
2: public class CrashAndBurnAttribute : System.Attribute
3: { 4: public CrashAndBurnAttribute(Proc p)
5: { } 6: }
7:
8: public class CrashAndBurnClient
9: { 10: [CrashAndBurn(delegate { return; })] 11: public void Foo()
12: { 13: }
14: }
Who needs to write such statements!?
