ERROR: NativeArray<bool> fails in bursted job

Allocating a NativeArray<bool> works fine in a job. However, attempting to use it by assigning a boolean to it in any way result in an error with burst enabled. Disabeling the burst and running the job does not give an error and executes fine.

Spoiler: The Error

Unexpected exception Burst.Compiler.IL.CompilerException: Error while verifying module: Stored value type does not match pointer operand type!

Spoiler: The Job

Code (CSharp):

1. [BurstCompile]
2. public struct TESTJOB : IJob
3. {
4.     public void Execute()
5.     {
6.         //  Allocating the array with bool does not give an error
7.         NativeArray<bool> array = new NativeArray<bool>(1, Allocator.Temp);
8.         array[0] = true; // <-- it only errors when u actually assign values
9.     }
10. }

I would have expected this to work in bursted jobs as it did in non bursted jobs.

 

My apologies, it seems installing/updating the latest Burst package resolved the issue.

I did not realise that you had to manually install Burst as a package from package manager. I assumed Burst was in the Entities package and would update automatically when updating the Entities package.

I am on Entities preview 30 and Windows 10 64bit.
