A Silly C# Programming Puzzle!

August is regarded as the silly season in the UK so here is a silly programming puzzle. What does this short bit of C# code do? Will it compile and/or run? Can you debug it?

# define i
using System;
using System.Text;

namespace ex11
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

           int i = 8;
        # line hidden
            ++i;
        # line 5
        # pragma disable
        # warning reverse execution is noitucexe
        # line 4
        # line 12
            System.Console.WriteLine("i = {0}", i) ;
        }
    }
}
