Bizarre ternary operator behavior in debugger on x64 platform

Question

I\'m using a very simple ternary expression in my C# code:

helperClass.SomeData = helperClass.HasData ? GetSomeData() : GetSomeOtherData();

Answer 1

Taking Eric Lippert's advice that this is probably a bug, I've filed an official Connect bug for this issue: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/684202

Thanks everyone for your feedback!

UPDATE: They got back to me and said they've fixed this corner case in the next version of the compiler. Hooray! :)

Answer 2

to me this doesn't seem a bug in the debugger but possibly of the compiler...

when changing the code to

{ helperClass.SomeData = helperClass.HasData ? GetSomeData() : GetSomeOtherData(); }

the IL generated is different and the debugger works as expected...
