Example of __gc pointer pointing into the stack

In the documentation for a __gc pointer, this explanation occurs:

"A __gc pointer to an object of __value class type can either point into the
stack or into the common language runtime heap. The latter can occur if an
object of a __value class object is embedded in an object of a __gc class."

I do not understand how a __gc pointer to an object of __value class can
point into the stack. Would someone please give me an example of this ?

Never mind. I see in topic 7.2 how a __gc pointer to a value type can point
into the stack.

Hi, I am still struggling to master C++ and is trying to understand how to achieve passing arguments using pointers. I got some questions that I like to post to the experts here, hope you can help to clarify my doubts. I'm using g++ version 3.3.4. I created 3 classes as below for testing some concepts. The questions are written as comments in Bclass.h file. Thank you for your time and tips! ------------runtime errors------------

I am using MEC++ in VC 7.1. I had a method on a __gc object that looked like this: __property System::UInt32 get_MyProperty(void) { System::Byte __pin * pinBytes = &m_byteArray; // entire array is now pinned NativeStruct const __nogc* nativeStructP = reinterpret_cast<NativeStruct const __nogc*>(pinBytes);

While it does look like 2005 does use a better syntax in general for garbage collection than 2003, here is something I think went the other way. arrays. Do people really think that: array<MyClass ^> ^ MyArray = gcnew array<MyClass ^>(100); is a better syntax than: MyClass* MyArray __gc = new MyClass* __gc ;

I have a program for which this line: if(! lstrtol(&atoken,length-2,(long *) &(lclparams->pad)) || (lclparams->pad< 0)){ generates the warning below, but ONLY if the gcc compiler is at -O2 or -O3. I don't see any reason why optimization should change things much in this piece of code - there's no way to optimize it out and I have verified that this particular line does what it should no matter how the program is compiled.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
