Compiler Error C3831

  • Article

'member': 'class' cannot have a pinned data member or a member function returning a pinning pointer

pin_ptr (C++/CLI) was used incorrectly.

Example

The following sample generates C3831:

// C3831a.cpp
// compile with: /clr
ref class Y
{
public:
   int i;
};

ref class X
{
   pin_ptr<int> mbr_Y;   // C3831
   int^ mbr_Y2;   // OK
};

int main() {
   Y y;
   pin_ptr<int> p = &y.i;
}
