+Summary: mcs fails to create custom attributes with fields which have array type
+
+Testcase:
+
+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
+
+using System;
+
+[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Field | AttributeTargets.Class,
+Inherited=true)]
+public class FooAttribute : Attribute
+{
+	char[] separator2;
+		
+	public FooAttribute(string name)
+	{
+	}
+
+	public char[] Separator {
+		get {
+			return separator2;
+		}
+	}
+}
+
+[FooAttribute("shortcut",separator2=new char[]{'A'})]
+public class Tests {
+	public static void Main () {
+		FooAttribute foo = (FooAttribute)(typeof (Tests).GetCustomAttributes
+(false) [0]);
+		Console.WriteLine (foo.Separator);
+	}
+}
+
+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
+
+Here, mcs reports:
+
+custom.cs(19) error CS0182: An attribute argument must be a constant
+expression, typeof expression or array creation expression
+
+while csc compiles it fine.
