+Bug#: 69921
+Product: Mono: Compilers
+Version: unspecified
+OS: All
+OS Details: 
+Status: NEW   
+Resolution: 
+Severity: 
+Priority: Blocker
+Component: C#

+Summary: mcs can't convert null to a pointer type
+
+Testcase:
+
+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
+using System;
+
+unsafe class X {
+
+	unsafe public X (sbyte *value, int startIndex, int length) {
+	}
+
+	static void Main ()
+	{
+		new X ((sbyte*)null, 0, 10);
+	}
+}
+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
+
+This compiles fine with csc, while mcs says:
+bug.cs(10) error CS1502: The best overloaded match for method ' X..ctor
+(sbyte*, int, int)' has some invalid arguments
+bug.cs(10) error CS1503: Argument 0: Cannot convert from 'object' to 'sbyte*'
+bug.cs(10) error CS1501: No overload for method `X' takes `3' arguments
+bug.cs(10) error CS1501: New invocation: Can not find a constructor in `X'
+for this argument list
+
+This is a regression and it prevents compilation/running of the corlib test
+ suite.
