The following C# program should print 1 but prints 0 instead.
Strangely enough moving 
static private LayerMask mask = 1; makes the problem disappear.



using System;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

[StructLayout (LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct LayerMask
{
	private ushort m_Mask;
	public static implicit operator int (LayerMask mask) { return (int)mask.m_Mask; }
	public static implicit operator LayerMask (int intVal) { LayerMask mask; mask.m_Mask = 
unchecked ((ushort)intVal); return mask; }
}

class Test
{
	static private LayerMask mask = 1;

	static void Main ()
	{
		int value = mask;
		System.Console.WriteLine("Output {0}", value);
	}
}

I cannot reproduce the error with a recent SVN version of the
compiler.  Can you provide more details about the version of the
compiler and the runtime?

This happens with mono 1.1.15 on mac os x ppc 10.4.6.

Can you verify with a newer snapshot.  If the problem persists, it may
have to do with some endian-ness issue (I don't have access to a
big-endian machine to verify).

I tried with 1.1.17.1 and the problem still appears.

I only tried on ppc.

I just tested on a ppc machine with mono 1.2 again. The bug is still there.

Any idea when this will be fixed?

It prints

Output 1

on x86. So it looks like runtime issue.
-> reassigning
