[Mono-dev] Bug in gmcs compilation with shadowed base class member.

[Marek Safar]

Hello,
> I found this piece of code which compiles under .NET (VS 2008) but not under
> gmcs.  gmcs gives a compilation error on the line calling a.field, saying
> that it is inaccessible since it's private.  However, Visual Studio maps
> a.field onto the Base class method.  The compiler I tried this with is
> version 2.0.1.
>   
Please fill a compiler bug report for this issue.

Thanks
Marek
