+Summary: Taking the address of unfixed expression should not compile
 
 I have made the following pointers sample and when I assign *p=3 it might
 update the d.x value but when I write d.x it prints 4 value instead 3.

+This does not compile with csc. It says:
+bug36055.cs(12,32): error CS0212: You can only take the address of
+unfixed expression inside of a fixed
+        statement initializer
+
+The right code in Main should be (it compiles with mcs):
+             CData d=new CData();
+             fixed (int *p=&d.x) *p=3;
+             Console.WriteLine ("{0}", d.x);
