Description of Problem:

The sizeof operator in the code below doesn't work with the mono compiler.
Since it works with the Microsoft .Net compiler if think it is a bug.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

compile the following code...

using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

class UnsafeTest
{
    [StructLayout( LayoutKind.Sequential )]
    public unsafe struct Foo
    {
        public Bar* bar;
    }

    [StructLayout( LayoutKind.Sequential )]
    public struct Bar
    {
        public Foo foo;
    }

    public unsafe static void Main( string[] arg ) {
        Console.WriteLine( sizeof( Foo ) );
    }
}


Actual Results:

unsafe.cs(19,36): error CS0208: Cannot take the address of, get the size of, or
declare a pointer to a managed type `UnsafeTest.Foo'
unsafe.cs(7,30): (Location of the symbol related to previous error)
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings

Expected Results:

no errors

How often does this happen? 

every time
