This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

unsafe int Test(IntPtr safePointer)
{
    // Suggests to remove the "int*" cast.
    return ((int*)safePointer)[0];
}

unsafe int Test(IntPtr safePointer)
{
    // Error after using suggestion.
    return safePointer[0];
}

IntPtr cannot even be indexed, so this suggestion really breaks code.
