## ref safety violations
A [`ref struct`](../builtin-types/ref-struct.md) type can include `ref` fields. Other types aren't allowed `ref` fields. The compiler enforces restrictions on the declarations and use of `ref struct` types to enforce ref safety rules on instances of any `ref struct` type:

Even more content goes here.
- Only `ref struct` types can contain auto-implemented `ref` properties.
- Only `ref struct` types or `ref` variables can have the `scoped` modifier.
- A `ref` field can be declared only in a `ref struct` type.
- A `ref` field can't refer to a `ref struct` type/

## Compiler Error CS9050
Violating any of these rules produces one of the listed errors. If you intended to use that language feature, convert the type to a `ref struct`. Otherwise, remove the disallowed construct.

A `ref` field cannot refer to a `ref struct`.
## ref struct interface implementations

The compiler does not support the `ref` modifier on a field within a struct (to declare a stack-allocated field) of a type already declared stack-allocated (`ref struct`).
- **CS8343**: *`ref structs` cannot implement interfaces*

- **CS9241**: *'ref struct' is already specified.*
- **CS9242**: *The 'allows' constraint clause must be the last constraint specified.*
- **CS9243**: *Cannot allow ref structs for a type parameter known from other constraints to be a class.*
- **CS9244**: *The type may not be a `ref struct` or a type parameter allowing ref structs in order to use it as parameter in the generic type or method.*
- **CS9245**: *Type cannot implement interface member for `ref struct` type.*
- **CS9246**: *A non-virtual instance interface member cannot be accessed on a type parameter that allows ref struct.*
- **CS9247**: *foreach statement cannot operate on enumerators of type because it is a type parameter that allows ref struct and it is not known at compile time to implement `IDisposable`.*

The following sample generates CS9050:
Prior to C# 13, [`ref struct`](../builtin-types/ref-struct.md) types can't implement interfaces; the compiler generates *CS8343*. Beginning with C# 13, `ref struct` types can implement interfaces, subject to the following rules:

```csharp
// CS9050.cs (0,0)
ref struct Color
{
public float r, g, b;
}
ref struct Group
{
public ref Color color;
}
```
- A `ref struct` can't be converted to an instance of an interface it implements. This restriction includes the implicit conversion when you use a `ref struct` type as an argument when the parameter is an interface type. The conversion results in a boxing conversion, which violates ref safety.
- A `ref struct` that implements an interface *must* implement all interface members. The `ref struct` must implement members where the interface includes a default implementation.

In this example, it is most likely a typo to have included a `ref` modifier on a field of a `ref struct` type within the declaration of a `ref struct`. Removing the `ref` modifier corrects this error.
Beginning with C# 13, a `ref struct` can be used as a type argument for a generic type parameter, if and only if the generic type parameter has the [`allows ref struct`](../../programming-guide/generics/constraints-on-type-parameters.md#allows-ref-struct) anti-constraint. When you use the `allows ref struct` anti-constraint you must follow these rules:

```csharp
ref struct Color
{
public float r, g, b;
}
ref struct Group
{
public Color color;
}
```
- A `ref struct` is used as a type argument, the type parameter *must* have the `allows ref struct` anti-constraint.- The `allows ref struct` anti-constraint must be last in the `where` clause for that parameter
- Uses of instances the type parameter must obey ref safety rules.
