Roslyn: Error CS0030 Cannot convert type 'object' to 'System.TypedReference'

[vsfeedback]

I can't compile the following code with latest version VS 2017 build 15.5.0.

 void MyMethod(object[] objects)

 {

    TypedReference.SetTypedReference((TypedReference)objects[0], objects[1]);

 }

Tagging @VSadov to triage and advise. Thanks

When will this bug be resolved?

[gafter]

This is not a bug. A TypedReference cannot be boxed, so there is no conversion between object and TypedReference in either direction. That is why you cannot cast objects[0] to the type TypedReference.

I don't have problem with older compiler version.

@bprg Old compiler has bugs in this area. It may permit code that would not run or even be accepted by the JIT.
