List of known bugs in C# compiler

Question

Is there such a list? I don't expect to get a complete one, but the list of most well-known ones must be enough.

Which version of the .Net framework btw?

I believe that the CLR has been largely stable and bug free since .Net 1.1 SP 1, certainly if in doubt, assume that its a bug in your code not .Net!

Answer 2

The C# compiler emits calls to the constructor System.Decimal(int32, int32, int32, bool, byte) for decimal literals like the following:

public static readonly decimal MaxValue = 79228162514264337593543950335M;

If you are implementing mscorlib, and you leave out this constructor, the C# compiler crashes rather than giving error message CS0656 indicating a member required by the compiler is missing.

I know of bugs in the C# IntelliSense engine, the .NET debugger, and in the .NET framework, but you just asked about the compiler. :o
