Description Fabian Deutsch 2010-04-27 10:10:16 UTC 
The problem arises when using the += operator with arrays.

Works:
struct Foo
{
	Foo[] foos;
}

void main(string[] args)
{
	Foo f = Foo();
	f.foos = new Foo[0];
	f.foos += Foo();
}




Does NOT work:
public struct Foo
{
	Foo[] foos;
}

void main(string[] args)
{
	Foo f = Foo();
	f.foos = new Foo[0];
	f.foos += Foo();
}
Comment 1 Fabian Deutsch 2010-04-27 10:33:52 UTC 
this is also the case with public classes.
Comment 2 Luca Bruno 2010-04-27 20:04:52 UTC 
This is a problem also with classes and public fields. Currently += is not yet supported for public array fields.
