[Mono-dev] SPAM-LOW: Enums of allowed types produces error

[Charlie Poole]

The standard says "byte, sbyte, short, ushort, int, uint, long or unlong."
 
The Microsoft compiler gives an error as well - the same error number, in
fact. :-)

Subject: SPAM-LOW: [Mono-dev] Enums of allowed types produces error


Using mono 1.1.13.1, mcs fails with CS1008 (Type byte, sbyte, short, ushort,
int, uint, long or ulong expected) when specifying the fully qualified class
name for any of the types byte, sbyte, etc. 

Is this a bug (like I think) or does C# not allow such usage?

This testcase shows the issue nicely:

public enum myEnum: System.Int32 {
        bad, cool
}

compiled with: mcs source.cs /target:library
