Bug Empty IBufferElementData crashes Unity Editor

If you define something like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. public struct Foo : IBufferElementData
2. {
3. }

Unity Editor crashes, and crashes every time when you reopen this project with Unity Edtior. After remove this code, editor can open without crash.

 

Interesting. Might have to do with the way it's trying to calculate how many elements fit inside 128 bytes. When the size is zero, infinite?

What happens if you add [InternalBufferCapacity(8)] to the struct?

 

I was wondering what is the use case for empty buffer elements?

 

The pragmatic side of my brain was turned off when I made the above reply. I'm wondering the same thing now.
Indeed. Why not use a regular component with a counter?

But a warning should be printed either way and not crash.

 

Maybe it is my coding habit..I know I need a buffer element type, but I don't know what content should it have for now. And I will fill its content later. But when I save the empty buffer element, Unity Editor will automatically compile and crash.
