default parameter value for ‘color’ must be a compile-time constant

定义了一个函数，函数有一个参数是Color类型的可选参数，想要设置其默认值为Color.Black

I‘ve run into this as well and the only workaround I‘ve found is to use nullables.

public void log(String msg, Color? c = null)
{
    loggerText.ForeColor = c ?? Color.Black;
    loggerText.AppendText("\n" + msg);
}

The ?? operator is called the null-coalescing operator.

It returns the left-hand operand if the operand is not null;//操作符左边不为null的时候，取左边的值

otherwise it returns the right hand operand.    //操作符左边为null的时候，取右边的值

Only literals can be defined as const.

The difference is, that const values are hard-bakened into the assemblies that uses it. Should their definition change, then the call sites doesn‘t notice unless they get recompiled.

In contrast, readonly declares a variable in a way that it cannot be reassigned after outside theconstructor (or static constructor in case of a static readonly variable).

So, you have no other way then to use readonly here, since Color is a struct, and no primitive data type or literal.
