Compiler Error CS8333

Cannot return by writable reference because it is a readonly variable

Example

The following sample generates CS8333:

C#

// CS8333.cs (3,36)
class Program
{
    static ref T F4<T>(in T t) => ref t;
}

To correct this error

To return a reference to a readonly variable, refactoring to return ref readonly will correct this error:

C#

class Program
{
    static ref readonly T F4<T>(in T t) => ref t;
}
