Customer Impact
The issue blocks users from using the
WeakReferenceandWeakReference<T>with managed types that inherit from WinRT native types and that implementIWeakReferenceSource. This means that managed developers extending common WinRT types are likely blocked from creating managed weak references.Testing
New testing was added in this PR. The original issue was reproducible and with this change we've confirmed it is fixed. The mitigate is to follow the same behavior as from .NET Framework's support of WinRT—don't query for
IWeakReferenceSourceif the managed type is aggregated.Risk
Low. Although this does touch that code may be run in with managed
WeakReferenceandWeakReference<T>it is narrowly defined to only trigger when WinRT types are involved. This only impacts C#/WinRT and WinUI scenarios.
