isKnownToReferToTempIfReferenceType

  1. In general, when not sure, the safest value for this parameter is false. It enables some optimizations and you don't want to apply those when they are not appropriate because that can lead to an incorrect result, i.e. bugs.
  2. This value is meaningful only for ref locals. I would avoid setting it to true for non-ref locals.
  3. The meaning of this flag - this local refers to something (it is a ref), and if the type of that something is a reference type, there is a guarantee that that something is a temporary (not a user local, not a parameter, not a field, etc.) So, it is about what we are referring to with this local. Obviously the temp we are assigning to here is a temp, but this value is not about that.

So, I recommend, cleaning up this code and any other "collection expressions" code with respect to values used for this parameter. In order to avoid spreading questionable code through copy/paste and eventually hitting a scenario that can actually break because we haven't given much thought about the value. #Closed

Curious now. Lets say I have the following code:

M(1);
M(2);
void M(params Span<int> i) { } 

After this change the compiler will optimize the calling code to roughly be:

int tmp = 1;
M(new Span<int>(ref temp));

But do we create 1 or 2 temps here? Guessing we only create one today but want to check. This could be a significant optimization opportunity for us in the future.

The signature of the ReadOnlySpan consructor changed between net7.0 and net8.0 from in to ref readonly. Will this match both versions?

In practice I expect it will. This is because the comparison here is just checking that it is a managed reference according to the runtime. It doesn't check anything about the readability or writability of the reference (C#-level concepts).

However for the particular way this optimization is implemented, I think won't even enter the path for using the 'Span referencing a temp' optimization for net7, because the containing code path is gated on InlineArray runtime feature availability, IIRC. This is shown in the codegen for the tests which use target framework net7.

Yep. I'm less interested in the optimization being applied and more interested in making sure that this well known member can see both variations of the signature. Otherwise it could create confusion for later changes.
