[Mono-devel-list] Problem with System.Reflection.ConstructorInfo

[Etienne Boucher]

After some testing, I have found that the problem is not within the lines indicated by mcs. The problem seems to be with creating an array from an array initilizer list of more than 6 elements. Rather strange bug if you ask me. Anyone else can test this little snipet, to make sure it's not just me? Note that it compiles fine when using ConstructorInfo[] ciarray = new ConstructorInfo[7];

using System;
using System.Reflection;
public class CtorInfoTest
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // mcs throws with 7 or more elements in the array initializer
        ConstructorInfo[] ciarray = 
        {
            null,
            null,
            null,
            null,
            null,
            null,
            null,
        };
    }
}
