Restored requirement for struct constructors to always have formal param... - #1106
Merged
Conversation
…rameters Fixes dotnet#1029 While overall parameterless constructors in structs are valid from IL perspective, without a convenient way to declare them they were virtually nonexistent. As we performed more and more testing, we kept discovering cases where parameterless struct constructors caused inconsistent behavior in libraries or even in some versions of CLR. After reconsidering the potential issues arising from breaking long standing assumptions, we decided it was best for our users to restore the requirement on struct constructors to always have formal parameters.

@AlekseyTs @gafter This is a combined C#/VB fix. |

I already reviewed much of this in #1052. Can you please give me a separate pull request so I don't have to duplicate the work? One way would be to write the pull request against your own branch. |

This commit is largely just restoring parameterless constructors before they were removed by 1a6b2f0 in dotnet#1106 Note that unlike the feature before that commit, this is hidden behind a feature flag rather than a language version.
