           Summary: CS0840 error message does not make sense for indexers
           Product: Mono: Compilers
           Version: SVN
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: C#
        AssignedTo: mono-bugs at lists.ximian.com
        ReportedBy: atsushi at ximian.com
         QAContact: mono-bugs at lists.ximian.com
          Found By: ---


The following sample shows that CS0840 message does not make sense for
indexers:

$ cat indexer-auto.cs
class Test
{
        public string this [string key] { get; set; }
}


atsushi at PC ~/tests/linq
$ gmcs indexer-auto.cs
indexer-auto.cs(3,43): error CS0840: `Test.this[string].get' must have a body
because it is not marked abstract or extern. The property can be automatically
implemented when you define both accessors
indexer-auto.cs(3,48): error CS0840: `Test.this[string].set' must have a body
because it is not marked abstract or extern. The property can be automatically
implemented when you define both accessors
Compilation failed: 2 error(s), 0 warnings


The truth is, the property cannot be automatically implemented.
