The state the ExpressionBuilder and StatementBuilder leave behind was only
reachable as "state before the first AST transform" - an entry that names a
transform rather than the state, and that sits below every member's group in a
tree with one group per member. It is now a top-level step at the seam, where
the whole type is converted and nothing has transformed it yet.

Two extra pieces of state existed to reconstruct what the stepper already
records: which member a halt belongs to. The step the limit stopped on answers
it, except on a member's opening step, which is where the previous member's
state ends - and there the last step actually recorded answers it instead.
IL group openers gain an anchor so their position resolves. The member opener
deliberately keeps none: anchoring it to the member the pipeline is about to
start is exactly the misattribution the fallback exists to avoid.

Recording only gated the IL half, so a run with it off still numbered the C# AST
transforms into the shared stepper. That gave one pipeline two numbering scales,
and a step index is only meaningful against the scale it was recorded on: a tree
captured under one and replayed under the other selects a different step. It
also let the crashed-member attribution fire on a counter that had never moved -
a limit of zero matched at every throwing transform and rendered an unrelated
member's ILAst.
The flag now gates both halves, so steps exist exactly when recording is on, and
it lives on the pane instance rather than a static the background decompile read
across threads.
Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5[1m]:Claude Code
The pane used to split the pipeline across two languages: the ILAst language
stepped the IL transforms, the C# language stepped the AST transforms, and
nothing showed the seam between them, so a step index meant a different thing
depending on which language happened to be selected. Recording both halves into
one Stepper makes an index replayable across the whole pipeline; a limit that
lands in the IL phase has no C# to print, so the halted function is rendered as
ILAst instead.
Which function that is takes some care, because a member group's EndStep is the
next member's first step: a halt standing on a member's opening step belongs to
the member that just finished, a transform that throws where the limit was aimed
has to hand over the ILAst it half-transformed (what the ILAst language showed
as "ILAst after the crash"), and a step recorded on a helper function the
pipeline has not attached yet belongs to that function's own tree.
Retention stays opt-in twice over: the decompiler records IL steps only when
asked to, and the pane asks only while its view is on screen. Every kept step
pins the ILAst it captured, which for one type runs to tens of thousands of
nodes, so a closed pane would be paying for a tree nobody displays.
What is left of the ILAst language is its typed-IL dump, which runs no
transforms at all. That stays, as TypedILLanguage. IDebugStepProvider was down
to a single implementation and is removed.

Making a conversion implicit by unwrapping it hands the operand to a
different target type, and a default literal takes its value from that
type: "S? x = new S?(default)" holds a value, while "S? x = default" is
null. Unwrapping the nullable constructor around a shortened literal
therefore turned "S? x = default(S)" into a null nullable. The literal is
spelled out again whenever unwrapping moves it to a type other than the one
it was shortened from.
Converting a using resource to the declared variable type is unconditional
now (except when the declaration says "var", which supplies no type): the
declaration always spells the type out, so any conversion to it may stay
implicit, which is also what shortens default(T) there.
Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5[1m]:Claude Code
Mutating the DefaultValueExpression is enough here; ConvertTo already hands
out mutated input nodes elsewhere (UnwrapChild), so building a replacement
node and copying the annotations over bought nothing.
The operator special case is easy to mistake for a cosmetic preference,
because the null literal is accepted in the same position: it converts only
to reference and nullable types, so it still narrows operator overload
resolution, whereas the default literal converts to everything and C#
rejects it outright for every binary operator except == and !=.
Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5[1m]:Claude Code
Shortening default(T) is the same problem as removing the redundant cast
around a lambda whose delegate type the context already fixes, so it uses
the same mechanism: ConvertTo makes the explicit type implicit when the
conversion is an identity conversion and the caller allows an implicit
one. The literal keeps the type it was shortened from, so any later
conversion to a different type - or any context that requires an explicit
type, such as an overload resolution recheck falling back to CastArguments
- can spell default(T) out again. That keeps the value intact where the
bare literal would change it, e.g. "object o = default(SomeStruct)", which
boxes a non-null struct while "default" would be null.
Because the shortened literal resolves to DefaultLiteralResolveResult,
CallBuilder's existing overload resolution recheck sees a real default
literal and rejects ambiguous calls on its own; no separate bookkeeping
about which arguments may stay untyped is needed. Only the contexts that
supply no target type at all restore the explicit form: an awaited
expression, and arguments of operator methods, which later become operator
or cast syntax rather than calls.

An operand boxed for the GetAwaiter call is typed 'object', so the member
lookup that decides whether the await needs a cast finds nothing and a
redundant cast to the receiver type reaches the output. C# inserts that boxing
conversion implicitly, so the box may be dropped -- but only after the lookup
confirms the unboxed operand still binds the same GetAwaiter, and only via the
resolve result: UnwrapChild detaches the operand from the AST, so running it
speculatively leaves a cast with no child behind and decompilation of the whole
method falls back to the raw state machine.

I think this isn't reliable enough yet to actually omit parameter types for lambdas (it only protects against switching to the wrong overload; not against type inference failures); so for now it's only used in the query expression transform.
The sign of a constant cannot decide whether to emit a unary minus: MinValue
and NegativeInfinity are negative, yet are their own members and must not be
negated. Deriving it that way emits -float.MinValue for float.MinValue, which
is a different value.
Which constants are reachable by negation is also not obvious: -MaxValue is
exactly MinValue and both infinities have their own members, so Epsilon is the
only one, but establishing that takes a proof rather than a read. Recording it
in the table states the invariant instead, and leaves the lookup itself as the
single dictionary probe it was before.

An addition or subtraction on an enum whose constant operand's numeric
value does not fit the underlying type (an int constant standing for a
high uint member, e.g. -501 for 0xfffffe0b) failed to resolve as enum
arithmetic and fell back to integer arithmetic with casts, producing
'(uint)((int)value - -501)' and, for the same source expression in an
argument position, '(uint)value - 4294966795u'. Retry the failed
resolution once with constant operands reinterpreted in the enum type;
the reinterpretation is lossless whenever the constant's stack type
matches the enum's underlying stack type, because the IL constant is
the member's bit pattern. Valid non-enum resolutions like 'data - 1'
(enum minus underlying, yielding the enum) are unaffected because the
retry only runs when the plain resolution fails.

Auditing against the first-class-span-types proposal turned up three
deviations, each now pinned by resolver unit tests whose expectations were
established by compiling probe programs with the C# 14 compiler.
Lower-bound type inference recursed into Span<T> targets as another
lower-bound inference, but Span<T> is invariant and the spec demands an
exact element inference there: M<T>(Span<T>, T) with (Span<string>, object)
must fail inference (CS0411), not unify to T=object.
Better-conversion-target compared ReadOnlySpan element types where the spec
compares the span types, admitting numeric and user-defined element
conversions the span types do not share: overloads taking ReadOnlySpan<int>
and ReadOnlySpan<long> are ambiguous (CS0121), not resolvable. The general
mutual-convertibility rule already implements the spec's span-type test, so
the element-level block is simply removed; the ReadOnlySpan-over-Span
identity rule stays, since it deliberately inverts that general rule.
The explicit span conversion did not exist at all, and with it the rule that
user-defined conversions are not considered between span-convertible types.
The visible consequence: string[] to Span<object> classified as an implicit
user-defined conversion via op_Implicit(object[]) plus array covariance,
where the compiler reports CS0266 - only the explicit span conversion
exists. Span conversions are also no longer considered for extension
receivers during method group conversion (CS0123), while invocations keep
them.

The C# 14 compiler lowers implicit span conversions to calls -
MemoryExtensions.AsSpan(string), ReadOnlySpan<T>.CastUp, and the span
op_Implicit operators - so decompiled code showed the lowered form even
though the conversion and betterness layers already implement the C# 14
rules. CallBuilder now folds those helper calls back into conversions,
riding the existing mechanism: the conversion is built as an explicit
cast, consumption sites make it implicit where the context allows, and
the overload-resolution recheck re-adds a cast when the bare argument
would bind to a different overload (which canonicalizes deliberate
AsSpan disambiguations to the equivalent explicit span cast).
Span conversions compose, so CastCanBeMadeImplicit lets a direct
input-to-target span conversion replace a chained pair; and an rvalue
bound to an in parameter gets the same chance to shed the cast as a
by-value argument, since ChangeDirectionExpressionTo bypasses the
by-value strip.

When fixing a type parameter, Roslyn merges the tuple element names of
bounds that are identical apart from those names: names are kept where
all bounds agree and dropped where they conflict (MergeTupleNames in
Roslyn's MethodTypeInference.cs). The C# standard does not describe
this step. Without it, fixing either kept the first bound's names
verbatim or, with two exact bounds differing only in names, failed
outright - so inferred tuple types could carry names csc would not
produce. All merged-name expectations are csc-verified.
Nullability is deliberately not merged: Roslyn derives it from the
variance of the position, which this implementation does not track, so
bounds that differ in it stay distinct and fixing fails as before
rather than inventing an annotation.

'this' and 'base' both read the 'this' parameter of the function being
decompiled, but their resolve result did not say so: consumers that key on
ILVariableResolveResult (local-reference output, highlighting, hover) could
not connect the keyword to the variable, and the qualified/unqualified
spellings of the same access carried differently shaped annotations.
The resolver has no ILFunction and thus no variable to put into a
ThisResolveResult, so it stops synthesizing one: LookInCurrentType looks
the name up against the (self-parameterized) current type, which grants
the same protected access, and the annotation of an unqualified field
access is built from the translated target instead. ResolveThisReference
and ResolveBaseReference had no callers left and are removed.

A cast must not reuse an implicit tuple conversion: its elements have to be
classified as cast conversions, which changes the outcome whenever an element
converts through a user-defined operator. Roslyn encodes the same rule in

but on our side it rested on an unexplained flag with nothing covering it, so
the flag read as removable. The comments and the test say why it stays.

Comments used to be child nodes flushed by InsertSpecialsDecorator when the
next node started printing, which put the marker of an init-only setter right
after the keyword. In the slot AST comments are leading/trailing trivia, so the
accessor's trailing trivia moved the marker behind the accessor body. The
placement cannot go back to trivia on the body either: the auto-property
transform drops the body, and the marker with it. The accessor now carries the

Overload resolution reports no error for an empty candidate set - there is
no best candidate to attach one to - so the null result passed for success
and was dereferenced while checking the call target. Decompiling
FSharp.DataFrame from nuget.org crashes that way: F# compiles its comparison
members to instance methods carrying operator metadata names, and the
operator candidate search looks at the operand types rather than at the
receiver type the member belongs to.
The new fixture pins that such an assembly decompiles at all. It still
renders those instance methods as operators and drops the receiver at the
call sites, which is the misclassification behind the empty candidate set
and is handled separately; this is the guard that keeps an empty candidate
set from being read as a resolved call.

VB emits an auto-property as a "_<PropertyName>" backing field plus accessors
it does not mark [CompilerGenerated]. The pre-C# 14 transform knows this: it
relaxes its accessor requirement whenever it finds such a field, which is how
a VB auto-property still prints as "{ get; set; }".
Routing every property through the field-backed path lost that. Collapsing an
accessor demanded [CompilerGenerated] unconditionally, so a VB auto-property
stopped collapsing and grew explicit "field" accessors instead - correct code,
but noise where every other compiler's equivalent stays a one-liner. Only the
legacy vbc configurations show it, and those run on Windows alone, so the
Linux and macOS jobs stayed green while both Windows ones failed on
VBPropertiesTest and Async.

Backing-field references inside a property's own get/set/init accessors
are emitted as the `field` keyword at IL-to-AST translation time
(ExpressionBuilder.ConvertField), so arbitrary accessor bodies become
expressible and no separate rewrite pass is needed. Compiler-generated
trivial accessors then collapse individually to `get;`/`set;`, which
also handles mixed shapes like `{ get; set { ... field ... } }`; the
backing-field declaration is removed with its remaining attributes
re-hosted as `field:` sections, and constructor stores become property
initializers (or property assignments, for setter-less properties).
Implicit zero-stores that auto-default struct constructors emit for
unassigned backing fields are dropped rather than lifted.
Recognition stays AST/metadata-based rather than mirroring the ILAst
analysis used for automatic events: events must prove compiler-generated
bodies before discarding them, while the field keyword discards nothing,
so name association plus the accessor context is sufficient.
Below C# 14 (or with the new FieldKeyword setting off), the field
declaration survives under its metadata name, so the UI keeps showing
the truth; EscapeInvalidIdentifiers - the transform the compilable-output
flows (project export, VS, tests) already add - now maps
`<P>k__BackingField` to the readable `P__BackingField` instead of the
generic character escape. A genuine field literally named "field" is
qualified as `this.field` inside accessors, and locals are not named
"field" there, since C# 14 rebinds the bare identifier. Bodiless
accessors mixed into multi-line properties get their own line in the
output.
The fixture covering the feature surface lands with the implementation rather
than as a separate xfailed commit. It is excluded from the test-assembly
compilation because its nullable annotations would trip warnings-as-errors
there.

In generic types, resolve results reference members specialized by the
type's own type parameters. The worklist dedupe and entityMap in
DoDecompile(ITypeDefinition) are keyed by definition, so a hidden member
re-added through the worklist (e.g. a property backing field referenced
from an accessor) was decompiled under a key the output pass never looks
up, silently dropping the declaration while keeping its uses.

The parameter-list-less anonymous method form is compatible with any
delegate signature, and C# code must rely on exactly that when a
delegate's parameter types cannot be named at the use site: IL, unlike
C#, permits a delegate signature to reference less accessible types.
Expanding such an anonymous method into a lambda would force the
unnameable type into a parameter list. Keep the delegate form, with its
parameter list dropped, when the parameters are unused and one of their
types is not accessible from the current context.

Under UseLambdaSyntax, anonymous functions became lambdas only when an
expression body was possible; statement-bodied ones kept C# 2 delegate
syntax. Now every anonymous function whose parameter shape a lambda can
express uses lambda syntax; delegate syntax remains for ref/out/in and
params parameters and for pre-C# 3 language profiles.
Two latent issues surfaced by the wider lambda coverage: DeclareVariables
assumed an insertion point directly under a LambdaExpression is an
expression body it must convert to a block, which block-bodied lambdas
now violate; and anonymous methods declared without a parameter list
carry compiler-generated parameter names like '<p0>' that are not valid
identifiers, so the lambda's mandatory parameter list regenerates such
names from the parameter type: (object obj, EventArgs e) => ...
A side effect visible in fixtures: an explicit parameter list can make
a delegate-creation cast redundant that bare 'delegate' syntax needed
for overload resolution, e.g. new Thread((ThreadStart)delegate { })
becomes new Thread(() => { }).

The guard added here reads the target of a member access to decide whether an
assignment may move into a field initializer, and it recognises the current
instance as a ThisResolveResult. Only one of the two spellings produces that.
An unqualified `A` is resolved through CSharpResolver.LookInCurrentType, which
synthesizes the target as a this-reference; an explicit `this.A` is built by
ExpressionBuilder, whose TranslateTarget hands back whatever ConvertVariable
produced - and `this` is a parameter like any other there, so the target is an
ILVariableResolveResult. The guard saw the first and missed the second.
Which spelling appears is decided by RequiresQualifier, for reasons unrelated
to the question being asked: a constructor parameter that shadows the field
forces the qualifier, and AlwaysQualifyMemberReferences forces it everywhere.
So the transform hoisted `b = this.value + 1` into a field initializer, where
naming the instance is CS0027 and the output does not compile.
TranslateTarget already builds a ThisResolveResult for `base`, one branch
above. Doing the same for `this` leaves the guard untouched and makes it see
both spellings, and spares every future consumer the same trap. The type is
carried over from the previous resolve result, so nothing downstream observes
a different one - the this/base keyword links read exactly this node.
Fixes#3984.

Tuple element names and nullability are not part of a type's identity, so an
interface resolved through one of its members carries neither. Naming an
explicit implementation from that type produced `void I<(int, int)>.M()` on a
type declared as `I<(int A, int B)>`, which the C# compiler rejects outright
with CS0540 - the decompiled source did not build. The nullable case was
already recorded as a TODO in the NullableRefTypes fixture, where the mismatch
costs a CS8643 warning rather than an error.
The implementing type's base-type list is the only place those annotations are
recorded, so the qualifier is looked up there. Three call sites derived it
independently - the AST builder for all five member kinds, the ambience used
for tooltips and tree labels, and the forwarders synthesized for MethodImpls -
so they now share one helper rather than repeating the rule twice more.
Matching while ignoring tuple names and nullability cannot be ambiguous:
implementing two interfaces that differ only in those is itself an error
(CS8140, CS8645).

One member the decompiler could not handle aborted the whole export, so a
single unsupported method in a large assembly left the user with nothing: no
sources, no .csproj, no way around it. Recovering silently would trade that
for a worse outcome - broken output nobody knows is broken - so every failure
is recorded, written where the content would have gone, and pointed at the
issue tracker.
The recovery has to hold for anything the export touches, not just method
bodies: a file that cannot be created, a resource that cannot be decoded, an
output visitor that throws mid-type. Each of those costs its own unit and
nothing else, and the units behind a failure are still produced - dropping
them would make the export look complete when it is not.
Consumers that relied on the exception keep their failure signal: ilspycmd
exits non-zero and lists the failures, the PowerShell cmdlets raise an error
record per failure, and the round-trip suite asserts the export reported none
- otherwise a crash on a method its own tests never call would ship green.

A query source can be reached through an indexer as well as through a member
access or a call: `holder?[0].Where(...).Select(...)` puts an IndexerExpression

a nullable value type, and the output failed to compile with CS1936 - the same

The language version appears in two places that share a name but not a
concept, which repeatedly reads as one confused API: on
DecompilerSettings it is a construction shortcut (SetLanguageVersion

the flags are the only state and the call is deliberately one-way),
while on WholeProjectDecompiler it is an export parameter (the
LangVersion stamped into the project file, defaulting to

A C# anonymous type is immutable and compares every member. VB's are neither
unless every property is declared 'Key': otherwise the properties are settable
and only the 'Key' ones take part in Equals and GetHashCode. Writing such a
type as 'new { ... }' silently gave it value equality and made any assignment
to one of its properties fail to compile, so only an anonymous type with no
settable property is treated as one; the rest keep their own declaration.
Those declarations carry the shape VB gave them, so the round-trip preserves
both mutability and 'Key' equality. Their names are the remaining obstacle,
since the VB compiler separates the parts with '$': the type, its backing
fields and any local named after it are renamed to use '_' instead, and a
comment on the declaration says why the type is spelled out.
Generated variable names are now rejected when they would not be legal C#
identifiers, which also stops a display class from lending its unspeakable
name to a local in the NoLocalFunctions output.
