# expression variables in initializers

|
|
## Summary
|
|
[summary]: #summary
|
|
|
|
We extend the features introduced in C# 7 to permit expressions containing expression variables (out variable declarations and declaration patterns) in field initializers, property initializers, ctor-initializers, and query clauses.

## Motivation

This completes a couple of the rough edges left in the C# language due to lack of time.

## Detailed design

|
|
|
|
We remove the restriction preventing the declaration of expression variables (out variable declarations and declaration patterns) in a ctor-initializer. Such a declared variable is in scope throughout the body of the constructor.

We remove the restriction preventing the declaration of expression variables (out variable declarations and declaration patterns) in a query expression clause that is translated into the body of a lambda. Such a declared variable is in scope throughout that expression of the query clause.

The appropriate scope for expression variables declared in these contexts is not obvious, and deserves further LDM discussion.
