[Mono-list] ADV: Thinking in C# Release Candidate Ebook Available

[Miguel de Icaza]

Hello,


> I just did a for i in *.cs; do mcs $i; done to compile the samples with
> mcs, recompiling some by hand (those that required a /r:System.Data or a
> specific dll). I found one bug in mcs (related to shift operators on the
> char type) and a couple of missing features in our libraries (index by
> name in the regular expression groups, isolated storage, ...).

>From the C# spec, I believe that the sample program:

	char c = (char) 1;

	c <<= 1;

Should not compile according to the C# spec, and that the Microsoft
compiler is more lax than it should be.
