# C# 7.3 (Visual Studio 2017 version 15.7)
|
|
- `System.Enum`, `System.Delegate` and [`unmanaged`](https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/blob/master/proposals/csharp-7.3/blittable.md) constraints.
|
|
- [Ref local re-assignment](https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/blob/master/proposals/csharp-7.3/ref-local-reassignment.md): Ref locals and ref parameters can now be reassigned with the ref assignment operator (`= ref`).
|
|

|
- [Indexing movable fixed buffers](https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/blob/master/proposals/csharp-7.3/indexing-movable-fixed-fields.md): Fixed buffers can be indexed into without first being pinned.
|
|
- [Custom `fixed` statement](https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/blob/master/proposals/csharp-7.3/pattern-based-fixed.md): Types that implement a suitable `GetPinnableReference` can be used in a `fixed` statement.
|
|
- [Improved overload candidates](https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/blob/master/proposals/csharp-7.3/improved-overload-candidates.md): Some overload resolution candidates can be ruled out early, thus reducing ambiguities.
|
|
- [Expression variables in initializers and queries](https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/blob/master/proposals/csharp-7.3/expression-variables-in-initializers.md): Expression variables like `out var` and pattern variables are allowed in field initializers, constructor initializers and LINQ queries.
|
|
- [Tuple comparison](https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/blob/master/proposals/csharp-7.3/tuple-equality.md): Tuples can now be compared with `==` and `!=`.
|
|
- [Attributes on backing fields](https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/blob/master/proposals/csharp-7.3/auto-prop-field-attrs.md): Allows `[field: …]` attributes on an auto-implemented property to target its backing field.
