Is this is an ExpressionTrees bug? #2

Looks like ExpressionTrees compiler should be near with the C# spec in many behaviors, but unlike C# there is no support for conversion from decimal to any en

    It is probably a bug, and it is probably my fault. Sorry about that.

    Getting decimal conversions right was one of the hardest parts of building the expression tree code correct in the compiler and the runtime because decimal conversions are actually implemented as user-defined conversions in the runtime, but treated as built-in conversions by the compiler. Decimal is the only type with this property, and therefore there are all kinds of special-purpose gear in the analyzer for these cases. In fact, there is a method called IsEnumToDecimalConversion in the analyzer to handle the special case of nullable enum to nullable decimal conversion; quite a complex special case.

    Odds are good that I failed to consider some case going the other way, and generated bad code as a result. Thanks for the note; I'll send this off to the test team, and we'll see if we can get a repro going. Odds are good that if this does turn out to be a bona fide bug, this will not be fixed for C# 4 initial release; at this point we are taking only "user is electrocuted by the compiler" bugs so that the release is stable.

    Not a real answer yet, I'm investigating, but the first line is compiled as:

    Func<decimal, ConsoleColor> converter1 = x => (ConsoleColor)(int)x;
    

    If you try to create an expression from the previous lambda, it will work.

    EDIT : In the C# spec, §6.2.2, you can read:

    An explicit enumeration conversion between two types is processed by treating any participating enum-type as the underlying type of that enum-type, and then performing an implicit or explicit numeric conversion between the resulting types. For example, given an enum-type E with and underlying type of int, a conversion from E to byte is processed as an explicit numeric conversion (§6.2.1) from int to byte, and a conversion from byte to E is processed as an implicit numeric conversion (§6.1.2) from byte to int.

    So explicit casts from enum to decimal are handled specifically, that's why you get the nested casts (int then decimal). But I can't see why the compiler doesn't parse the lambda body the same way in both cases.
