[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 615112] Re: Compiler crashes with generic parameter arrays in constructors

[Phill]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: mono
  
  If you have a class with a default constructor, a constructor that
  accepts a parameter array of a generic type, and one that accepts a
  parameter array of a non-generic type, and a call to the constructor
  with no arguments then the compiler crashes.
  
  If the default constructor did not exist this would create an ambiguity,
  but the compiler also crashes rather than reporting this. MS compiles
  the code and calls the parameter-less default constructor.
  
  I've attached a code file that illustrates this problem, which requires
  references to System and System.Core assemblies.
  
- The workaround is to replace the generic constructor to include on
+ The workaround is to replace the generic constructor to include one
  mandatory element before the parameter array.
  
  This bug appears to be unfixed even in the latest versions of mono.
