shapes that path has to recognize, and the reference-type cases that must
keep falling through to a plain call.

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
init-only fact itself and the printer writes the marker next to the keyword.

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.

Two paths generate a local named "field" inside an accessor - a local
typed after a class named Field, and one named after the GetField method
it is assigned from - and C# 14 rejects that identifier there (CS9273).
Worse than the compile error, the local shadows the keyword, so a
backing-field read silently becomes a read of the local; both paths now
have a fixture, verified to regress without the name reservation.
A static member named "field" cannot be disambiguated with "this.", so
the accessor has to name its declaring type; that path had no coverage
either.

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.

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(() => { }).

Element 8+ of a long tuple is read through the Rest field, which Roslyn
loads by value; ILSpy turned that into an addressof over the loaded
copy, hiding the tuple field chain from every downstream matcher. Elide
the copy when the enclosing expression only reads through it - the read
then goes directly through the original address and folds into the
usual Item_N chain. The deconstruction transform's use-shape guard also
learns to walk that chain; whether each read really is a consumable
element access remains the job of MatchTupleElementRead and the escape
check.

Deconstruction assignment copies the right-hand side into a temporary
before calling Deconstruct. When the RHS is a call, inlining folds that
temporary away, but for a local or parameter it survived into the
output as a separate assignment statement. Consume the copy into the
deconstruction pattern; rendering the copied value as the RHS
recompiles to the identical temporary. Because blocks are processed
back to front, the call-position match defers to the attempt starting
at the copy, mirroring the existing nested-deconstruction defer guard.
The new fixture also covers deconstruction assignment to locals
captured by a lambda in an async method (issue #3037's crash shape,

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).

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
between the LINQ call and the `?.`. The receiver walk stopped there, so query
syntax was still introduced over a source the conditional access had lifted to
a nullable value type, and the output failed to compile with CS1936 - the same
way as the case that was reported, one node kind further along.
IndexerExpression.Target is nullable where MemberReferenceExpression's and
InvocationExpression's are not, so only that arm needs to match on the target.

A nested designation whose temporary is still read elsewhere is retried with
that variable demoted to a designator leaf. The check that the first tuple
element must be assigned ran before that retry, and every leaf of a wrongly
nested first element precedes the assigned ones, so the pattern looked like it
started mid-way and was rejected before the retry could restore it. The flat
deconstruction was lost for a shape that has one.

Deferring an inner deconstruction to its enclosing one used to be decided by
matching the enclosing pattern in full, once per inner statement of the same
pattern, discarding everything but the end position.
The same decisions are available without it. A nested Deconstruct call can only
be consumed by an enclosing one that is the immediately preceding statement,
looking through the defensive copy of a struct element; anything else in between
is a barrier that stops the enclosing from reaching this position, so it matches
here instead. That leaves the case where the enclosing call is adjacent but
cannot match anyway, which is decided by the constraint MatchDeconstructionCall
already places on its out-parameters.
The tuple-designation branch no longer needs the position the enclosing run
starts at, so the backward walk that searched for it is gone with it. The added
fixtures pin reconstruction across adjacent deconstructions, whose element
stores that walk used to step through.

Only defer to an enclosing designation that can reach this position
The temporaries and element reads of a nested tuple designation are stored back
to back, so a statement of any other kind between the temporary and a read of it
stops the enclosing pattern from consuming that read. Deferring anyway lost the
deconstruction entirely: the enclosing attempt fails and the back-to-front walk
does not return to the position that stepped aside for it, so the reads were left
as the plain element accesses they came from, which master reconstructs.

A nested designation over tuples, var (x, (a, b)) = t;, is lowered to one
temporary per nested designation - parents before children - followed by the
element reads in depth-first leaf order, and decompiled as a flat
deconstruction plus separate element statements.
The temporaries are now consumed into a tree of tuple nodes before the
conversions and assignments are matched, and the leaves get the same flat
depth-first indices the Deconstruct-call chain hands out, so conversion and
assignment matching runs unchanged. Two properties of the lowered IL shape
the matcher to it: earlier transforms rewrite non-escaping element reads
from ldloca to ldloc, and the temporaries are stack slots whose type is
imprecise, so the container's element type is authoritative and the match
variable is retyped to keep the tuple pattern's invariant.
An element that escapes the deconstruction - used after the statement, so
the pattern cannot consume all its reads - demotes back to a designator leaf
and the match is retried, which restores the flat deconstruction the
escaping read needs. The guard against consuming a pattern piecemeal extends
to the new shape: an element read whose container is stored by an earlier
element read defers to the match starting at that store.

Element index resolution serves both pattern roots: a registered result of a
Deconstruct call, or an element read of a tuple, which it discovers on first
sight and then owns. In an attempt rooted in a Deconstruct call the tuple
branch must not engage - it overwrites the call's result bookkeeping and
rewires the element read to a fresh variable that the pattern never defines.
The shape that reaches it is a tuple whose element is custom-deconstructed
with discarded leaves, followed by an unrelated assignment: the tuple-rooted
attempt fails, the call-rooted one runs at the element's position, and, now
that an unrelated assignment ends a call pattern instead of rejecting it, the
mixed match is no longer rejected on the way out.

A nested designation rebinds Deconstruct on the element's static type when
the output is recompiled, while the explicit call it replaces is bound at
the call site. Where a derived element type declares a Deconstruct of the
same arity as the called method, and the source deconstructs through a
base-typed view, the two bindings differ, so the sugared output calls the
wrong method - a divergence the runtime fixture demonstrates on optimized
builds, where copy propagation elides the view.
Nesting is therefore only applied when the method the call binds to is the
one a designation would rebind to; otherwise the call stays explicit, where
its receiver cast preserves the binding.

A nested designation, var (x, (a, b)) = o;, is lowered to a chain of
Deconstruct calls - the inner call taking the outer call's out-argument as
its target, through a defensive copy where the element is a struct - and
decompiled as a flat deconstruction followed by an explicit Deconstruct
call. The IL pattern node, its invariants and the C# builders already
support nested patterns; only the transform never built them.
MatchDeconstruction now consumes the chain into a tree of match patterns.
The leaves get flat indices in depth-first order, which is the order in
which StatementBuilder and ExpressionBuilder pair pattern variables with
assignments, so the conversion and assignment matching runs unchanged on
top of a nested pattern.
Two matching rules follow from the chain being consumed: a call pattern no
longer needs a matched assignment, because single-use leaves are covered by
the forwarding fixup in MatchAssignments; and a pattern is not rooted on an
element of an enclosing deconstruction, because blocks are processed back to
front, so the inner call is visited first and would otherwise consume the
pattern piecemeal, starving the outer call. That guard runs the enclosing
match as a dry run, which is precise: a barrier statement between the calls
or an element with further uses makes it fail, and the inner deconstruction
is then still transformed on its own.

An assignment whose value is not one of the deconstruction's elements used
to reject the whole match, so a custom deconstruction followed by any
unrelated assignment stayed an explicit Deconstruct call. For a pattern
rooted in a Deconstruct call the element list is fixed by the call's
out-arguments, so such an assignment simply ends the pattern and stays after
the deconstruct instruction.
Tuple-rooted patterns keep rejecting: their element list is discovered from
the assignments, so ending early would misread a suffix of the assignments
as the whole pattern and fabricate discards for the elements before it.

Deconstruction into a pointer target ((*p, value) = tuple;) stayed an
explicit Deconstruct call: a store through a pointer (or through a target
whose pointer type got erased in a stack slot) does not infer a
ByReferenceType, so IsAssignment reported an unknown expected type and the
transform's conversion check rejected the assignment. The type of the store
itself is just as precise, so use it as the expected type.
Of the three IsAssignment call sites only the transform's MatchAssignment
consumes the expected type; CheckInvariant and GetAssignmentIndex discard
it, so this widens what the transform accepts without weakening the
invariant check.

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.

IsCopyConstructor required the copy constructor to be private on a sealed

class accepts protected regardless of sealedness. Since the former gates the
latter, a sealed record whose copy constructor stayed protected -- what you get
when a record is sealed after it was compiled -- was not recognized as one at
all: it fell through to the general constructor handling, where its base call
made it count as unchained, and the primary-constructor invariant then failed.

Roslyn compiles top-level statements into a synthesized Program class
whose entry point is called '<Main>$', a name that cannot be declared
in C#. Decompiled output kept it verbatim (escaped to
_003CMain_003E_0024 when exporting a project), and since C# accepts
only a method called 'Main' as an entry point, the exported executable
did not compile (CS5001).
Give that method the name 'Main'. Per the decision recorded in #829 we
do not reconstruct top-level statements, so this is the level of
support the output needs to compile.
An async top-level program needs the name in a different place: it
compiles to '<Main>$' holding the statements plus a '<Main>' entry
point that only awaits it. That wrapper carries the .entrypoint marker
but is hidden from the output, so the name goes to the method it
awaits instead - unless AsyncAwait is off, when the wrapper is
emitted and keeps the name itself.

PrettifyAssignments only accepted integer constants. C# defines ++/--
on floating-point types as adding or subtracting exactly 1, so the
conversion is exact for a constant 1 operand. Decimal already works

Optimized code stores no temporary for a deconstruction element that is
used only once after the deconstruction. MatchAssignments handled that
for trailing elements, but a nested deconstruction copies the inner
element to a temporary, so the elements preceding it are also left
without an assignment; their external load then violated the
DeconstructInstruction invariant that all pattern variable loads are
descendants of the instruction. The forwarding fixup now covers all
unassigned elements and inserts in pattern order, because the statement
and expression builders pair pattern variables with assignments
positionally. This also fixes the nested tuple deconstruction crash
reported in #3388.
Also unwrap the address of the tested operand in
VisitDeconstructInstruction: deconstructing a struct passes the
receiver by reference, which was emitted as an invalid cast,
'var (x, y) = (S)(ref s);', even without nesting.

Widening the compiler matrix answers the open review question on the
Issue3230 fixture guard empirically: a class naming its own nested
interface in its base list is a Roslyn-era relaxation. The legacy csc
rejects every such shape with CS0146 (circular base class dependency,
it never reaches the accessibility check), mcs 2.6.4 rejects them with
CS0122/CS0146, and mcs 5.23 accepts them all, rejects naming a base
class's protected nested interface with the same CS0122 as Roslyn, and
emits the same transitive InterfaceImpl metadata. The fixtures are
therefore gated to ROSLYN || MCS5, which exercises the base-list filter
on mcs-generated metadata as well. The pre-existing class C needs
MCS2-specific expected output because mcs 2.6.4 reorders interface-impl
rows and explicit implementations in metadata.

A class may name its own protected nested interface in its base list
(class F : F.IFoo), but referencing a protected interface nested in a
base class there (class SubF : F, F.IFoo) does not compile, even though
that interface is accessible inside the class body. The interface-impl
metadata still lists such interfaces (they are inherited through other
entries), so emitting every entry produced uncompilable sources. Skip
base types that are neither nested within the current type's nesting
chain nor accessible from the enclosing scope without the
protected-through-inheritance privilege. The check covers every type
the base-list reference names: type arguments, array and tuple
elements, and the declaring chain of the named type.

Review follow-up. A display-class field initialized from a non-this
parameter is now the only shape where propagation and a later mutation
coexist; it stays sound only because ResolveVariableToPropagate accepts
a parameter with LoadCount == 1, so the mutation can be redirected to
it. Nothing covered that, so Test12 pins it, and Test13 records the
neighbouring shape where the mutation happens inside a lambda - there
capturing the display class keeps it materialized and propagation never
arises. The guard predicate is renamed to say what it matches, since
'ReadOnly' reads like the C# keyword rather than 'a plain read'.

A field that is propagated to the variable it was initialized from is
replaced by that variable, so re-emitting its initializer assigns the
variable to itself. Where the field was initialized from 'this' the
result does not even compile ('this = this'). The store is dropped
instead, which is what VisitStObj already does for initializer stores
that are not part of an object-initializer block; the insertion position
has to be tracked separately from the loop index, because skipping a
store would otherwise push the following ones past the end of the block.

Aggressive scalar replacement propagated a display-class field to its
source variable even when the field is mutated after initialization,
aliasing two distinct source-level variables (Test9: thisField and
this). Propagation is now cancelled when the field sees a second store
or its address escapes, but only for propagation targets that cannot
absorb the store: 'this' and variables that are themselves
scalar-replaced display classes. Parameters continue to propagate,
because their remaining uses are already restricted by
ResolveVariableToPropagate and a captured parameter mutated inside a
lambda (DelegateConstruction's Bug951) must keep mapping to the
parameter. Checking CanPropagate first also keeps the guard away from
Mono state-machine fields, whose VariableToDeclare is pre-bound to a
state-machine variable that Propagate(null) would discard.

The chain cases in the fixture route T : TOuter through a class-level

method type parameter (M<T, U> with T : U) was uncovered. It pins the
same alignment from a different angle: csc rejects 'class' with CS8665

'class' when U carries a class-type constraint, matching what the
tri-state IsReferenceType derives. Both directions were verified
against csc before adding the expected output.

Corrupt or hand-written metadata can contain a property with no
MethodSemantics rows at all. MetadataTypeDefinition.Properties already
skips properties with neither a visible getter nor setter, so neither
the parameterized-property path nor the ordinary one ever sees them;
the accessor-method emission also tolerates a missing accessor by
construction. Pin that with an ILPretty case containing both a
parameterized and an ordinary accessor-less property.

The renamed-Implements case exposed a gap: the accessor-method
declarations did not include the explicit-interface-implementation
forwarders generated from .override directives, so decompiled types did
not implement their interfaces and same-name implementations lost their
interface mapping. DecompileParameterizedProperty now emits the same
forwarder stubs as the ordinary method path.

C# cannot declare a named property with parameters: only the type's
default member gets indexer syntax, and reusing it via [IndexerName]
collapses for types with several differently-named indexed properties,
static properties, or explicit interface implementations. Emitting the
accessors as ordinary methods is the only fully general compilable
form, matches how C# consumes such properties (Roslyn exposes the
accessors of properties it cannot bind as regular methods, the same
pattern C# 14 made user-facing for extension-member disambiguation),
and round-trips call sites to identical IL. Call sites already lower
to direct accessor calls.
The property-level attributes are kept on the first accessor under the
'property:' attribute target: it is not valid on methods, so csc emits
nothing for it (CS0657 warning) and recompilation neither loses the
attributes from the source nor misapplies them to the accessor. A
comment on the first accessor documents the deliberate deviation.
Visual Studio's metadata-as-source view drops such properties'
attributes entirely.
The assembly tree and tooltips are unaffected: they keep rendering the
property node with its parameter list. Known limitation, inherent to
any C# projection: recompiling the output produces plain methods, so
VB.NET consumers of the recompiled assembly lose property syntax.

C# has no syntax for named properties with parameters, so the expected
output declares the accessors as ordinary methods, keeps the
property-level attributes under the inert 'property:' attribute target
(ignored by csc with CS0657), and consumes the properties through
direct accessor calls, which Roslyn permits exactly for properties
whose shape C# cannot bind. Red against the current decompiler, which
emits a parameterless property whose body references the vanished
parameters.

The foreach pattern was only matched against using instructions, but
the compiler emits no using/try-finally at all when the enumerator's
static type can never require disposal: a struct or a sealed class
that does not implement IDisposable (SerializationInfoEnumerator in
the issue's example). Such loops stayed while loops.
Recognize the bare 'enumerator = x.GetEnumerator(); while
(enumerator.MoveNext())' shape during statement building and reuse the
existing foreach transformation core for it. The transformation is
restricted to exactly the cases where recompilation would produce the
same IL: the enumerator type rules above (ref structs are excluded
because of pattern-based disposal), a single-store enumerator variable
unused outside the loop, and synchronous enumeration only, since async
enumerators are always IAsyncDisposable.

allows ref struct is inherited implicitly, so restating it on an override is
CS0460 even alongside a legal disambiguator. Roslyn still re-emits the byreflike
flag on the override's own type parameter, and the general constraint printer
turns that flag back into source, so the disambiguator stays legal only as long
as it is built separately. Cover a C# 13 base whose annotated and plain methods
both allow ref structs.

A class-type constraint such as Stream or Delegate sets no
ReferenceTypeConstraint flag, so keying the disambiguator off that flag gave
those overrides the default constraint, which is CS8822, and the output still
did not recompile. The restated disambiguator leaves no metadata trace of its
own, so the choice has to follow from whether the inherited constraints make
the type parameter a reference type, a value type, or neither.
Matching the annotated type parameters by identity rather than by owner kind
and index also keeps a specialized signature from contributing a foreign type
parameter that happens to share an index.
