[MC++] how to make global managed array?

[Ekim]

hello,
I'm using MANAGED C++ and need one of the following two questions answered:

1.)
How can one make a global managed array?
I'm thinking on something like defining
static System::Byte globalArray __gc[];
at the begin of a file. But I get the error
"global Array: cannot declare a global or static managed type object or
a __gc pointer"

anyways, is there a way to define exactly this byte array as global?
-------------

2.)
Why do I always get the message
"unresolved external symbol 'void * __cdecl operator new(unsigned int)'"
when I try to use the new operator for an unmanaged array like this:

static char* globalBuffer = NULL; // global variable

void Test()
{
globalBuffer = new char[100]; // try to allocate memory with
new
}

Do I have to "include" something to be able to use new on chars? I thought
it should work with "It Just Works"-mechanism.
-------------

Thx in advance,
ekim

I'm just guessing what you mean here, but is "managed C++" something to do
with Visual Studio.NET? If so, you'll need to ask on a Microsoft newsgroup.
Check the news.microsoft.com server for available newsgroups.

I believe you should ask in a newsgroup for managed C++... doesnt Microsoft
have one?

What does "managed" mean? I am thinking that you should manage ALL of
your C++ code appropriately.

Again, what does "managed" mean? It has no specially defined meaning in
C++.

You should probably be using std::vector. Look it up!

Do not try to declare a global array with "static". Use "extern" in the
declaration in your common header file, and then define the array once
in one of your C++ files.

Otherwise, your declaration should be OK, assuming you have
appropriately defined System::Byte somewhere. System::Byte is not a
standard C++ type, of course.

The Managed Extensions for C++ are off-topic in this group.

I suggest microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vc

Managed C++ in this context means "Managed by the Common Language Runtime".
It is short for "Managed Extensions for C++" and is a set of language
extensions to C++ to allow you to use C++ for programming for Microsoft
..Net. Managed C++ is also soon to be deprecated in favour of the new, ECMA
standardized C++/CLI, which will first ship in the upcoming Visual C++ 2005.

hy,
I apologize kindly for disturbing you - I didn't know that this newsgroup
was only for "normal" c++.
What's more, I couldn't find any other appropriate newsgroup.
However, I've already solved my problem.

By the way, because some of you asked, "managed" has something to do with
the .NET-framework --> it works exactly the way as Mr. Unforgiven has
described it earlier in this thread.

Anyways,
thx,
ekim!
