compiler error with default/optional variables

[kobi7]

Hi Charles, and everyone!

this code generates the errors at the bottom of the page.

cue init(view as IView<of TEnumParts>, options /#as Options#/ = Options.None)

if I type the options argument 'as Options', the errors don't appear (and everything compiles)
this seems to be coming from mono dealing with the generated csharp.

ps: I tried to reproduce with a minimal case, but it didn't appear there.
if you're interested let me know [kobi2187 at gmail] , and I'll send a zip file.

see you, kobi

I'll take a look.

I can't reproduce. I sent you an email for the code.

Some things you could try to eliminate some variables:
-- Does the problem happen for ordinary methods or just initializers?
-- Does the problem happen if you eliminate the first argument?
-- Does the problem happen in non-generic classes?
-- Is Options.None an enum or a constant or something else? If you switch it, does the problem change?
-- Is Options nested in the same class as the initializer or outside of that class?

Also:
-- Are their multiple "Options" defined in other namespaces?
-- If you pass -kif to Cobra and open the remaining .cs file for that source code, what does the C# look like?
