Question by lumanskiy · Sep 23, 2016 at 11:43 AM · compiler errorgenericsactionlambda

Compiler error CS0309 when using nested generics and System.Action

This code throws error CS0309 in Unity console, but works fine in .NET:

 public class Bar { }
 
 public class Foo<TBar>
     where TBar : Bar
 {
 }
 
 public class Test<TClass>
 {
     public void Run<TFoo, TBar, TSomething>(TSomething something)
     where TFoo : Foo<TBar>
     where TBar : Bar
     {
         Action del = delegate
         {
             var a = something;
         };
     }
 }

This gives me the error:

 error CS0309: The type `TFoo' must be convertible to `Foo<TFoo>' in order to use it as parameter `TFoo' in the generic type or method `Test<TClass>.<Run>c__AnonStorey0<TFoo,TBar,TSomething>'

I found the similar question on stackoverflow and it looks like that might be bug in old version of Mono that Unity is using. However, my code is slightly different from code in the question.

What is more interesting, that removing almost any piece from that code removes the error:

  • If you remove generic constraint from the Run() method, the compiler error is gone

  • If you remove "var a = something;" from delegate, the error is gone (!)

  • If you move "var a = something;" out of the delegate, the error is also gone (!!)

  • Finally, if you remove TClass generic type from Test class, the error is somehow gone (!!!)

Does anyone have any idea what might be going on here? Looks like I have a pretty unique combination of factors.
