net80 -> net481/LangVersion 10: Unsafe.SkipInit

[thxkiwi]

I have a project that I wrote using targeting framework net80 and trying to get it working with net481/LangVersion 10.

CsWin32: 0.3.106
Using Visual Studio 17.10.0.

I've modified the SDK project files to be

  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net481</TargetFramework>
    <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
    <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
    <Platforms>x64</Platforms>
	  <LangVersion>10</LangVersion>
	  <EmitCompilerGeneratedFiles>true</EmitCompilerGeneratedFiles>
  </PropertyGroup>

CsWin32 is generating Windows.Win32.char.InlineArrays.g.cs:84 - Unsafe.SkipInit(out __char_260 result);

		public static unsafe implicit operator __char_260(ReadOnlySpan<char> value)
		{
			Unsafe.SkipInit(out __char_260 result);
			Span<char> target = new Span<char>(result.Value, SpanLength);
			value.CopyTo(target);
			int initLength = value.Length;
			target.Slice(initLength, SpanLength - initLength).Clear();
			return result;
		}

That seems to be .NET 8 only still.

Am I missing something (including "the point") here? It seemed possible and reasonable to target net481 and LangVersion 10.

Help and guidance greatly appreciated.

Needed an explicit selection of System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe package.

Thanks for sharing. We shouldn't emit APIs that won't compile in your project, so this is a bug. Ideally CsWin32 would emit valid code for you and possibly emit a warning that suggests you add a package reference. I'll promote to a bug.
