'instance' : you cannot embed an instance of a reference type, 'type', in a value-type

A value type cannot contain an instance of a reference type.

For more information, see C++ Stack Semantics for Reference Types.

Example

The following sample generates C3075.

// C3075.cpp
// compile with: /clr /c
ref struct U {};
value struct X {
   U y;   // C3075
};

ref struct Y {
   U y;   // OK
};
