[Mono-dev] Bug? Inconsistent visibility for delegate type.

[David Toso]

Hi folks,

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before (I could not find it in
the bug database) or wether I'm trying to do something that is
completely wrong... nonetheless:

When compiling the simple program below, I get the following errors:
  bugTest.cs(20,25): error CS0051: Inconsistent accessibility:
parameter type `Foo.Bar.ProtectedBaz' is less accessible than method
Foo.Bar.<#AnonymousMethod>1 (Foo.Bar.ProtectedBaz)'
  bugTest.cs(21,25): error CS0051: Inconsistent accessibility:
parameter type `Foo.Bar.PrivateBaz' is less accessible than method
`Foo.Bar.<#AnonymousMethod>2(Foo.Bar.PrivateBaz)'

It would seem that the visibility assigned to the delegate instances
is 'public', which results in the "Inconsistent accessibility" errors.

That code does compile (and work) in VS2005.

Is this really a bug, or is there some way I can modify the inline
delegate definitions such that they would have the correct visibility
?

I have mono version 1.1.13.6. (Ubuntu package: mono-gmcs 1.1.13.6-0ubuntu3)

Thanks for you time.
