 Hi all,

  I tried to compile some unsafe code using mcs, however I am getting
error CS0030: Cannot convert type 'void*' to 'FooStruct*'

  However, when I am doing it on VS.NET, it compiles fine. Is there any implicit conversion done in MS compiler that mono doesn't do?

using System;

namespace IntPtr_Conv
{
  struct FooStruct
  {
    int x;
  }

  class Class1
  {
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
      IntPtr[] pArray = new IntPtr[1]{IntPtr.Zero};

      unsafe 
      {
        // works only in MS
        FooStruct* s0 = (FooStruct*)(pArray[0]);

        // works on both mcs and MS C#
        FooStruct* s1 = (FooStruct*)(pArray[0].ToPointer());
      }
    }
  }
}

Thanks

Arnold
