Compiler Error C3824

'member': this type cannot appear in this context (function parameter, return type, or a static member)

Pinning pointers cannot be function parameters, return types, or declared static.

Example

The following sample generates C3824:

// C3824a.cpp
// compile with: /clr /c
void func() {
   static pin_ptr<int> a; // C3824
   pin_ptr<int> b; // OK
}
