Bug Description

Binary package hint: mono

This seems to be a Mono 2.4 regression. gmcs 2.4.0.0 will fail to compile the attached code. The code this testcase was reduced from (GNOME-Do Flickr plugin) builds fine on mono 2.0.

The bug seems to require the IEnumerable<object> return, the using () statement, and the non-void constructor call.

For added strangeness that will possibly help you track this down I have the following snippets of my attempts to work around this bug in the GNOME Do plugins code:

This snippet builds:
Services.Application.RunOnThread ( () => {
 /* Mono 2.4 bug hack
  * This can't use using () due to some crazy-wierd scoping problem.
  * See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=516676 for details.
  */
 IEnumerable<IFileItem> temp = uploads;
 UploadPool uploadQueue = new UploadPool (tags);
 try {
  foreach (IFileItem photo in uploads)
               uploadQueue.EnqueueUpload (photo);
     uploadQueue.BeginUploads ();
 } finally {
  uploadQueue.Dispose ();
 }
});
This snippet:
Services.Application.RunOnThread ( () => {
 /* Mono 2.4 bug hack
  * This can't use using () due to some crazy-wierd scoping problem.
  * See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=516676 for details.
  */
 UploadPool uploadQueue = new UploadPool (tags);
 IEnumerable<IFileItem> temp = uploads;
 try {
  foreach (IFileItem photo in uploads)
   uploadQueue.EnqueueUpload (photo);

  uploadQueue.BeginUploads ();
 } finally {
  uploadQueue.Dispose ();
 }
});
fails, with "error CS0165: Use of unassigned local variable `uploads'"
