I have an older MFC C++ app with some new Managed C++ being thrown in. Recently I turned on the /clr flag for one of my old .cpp files. I then placed '#pragma unmanaged' just below my #include statements near the top of the file. These headers contain older unmanaged class declarations.
When running I discovered a new bug, a crash, at a point in execution that was nowhere near any code that's been touched in quite a while. After hunting down logical code paths with no luck finding the problem, I tried turning off the /clr flag and that made the problem go away. I will need /clr later, so I want to get to the bottom of this bug.
I tried moving the #pragma unmanaged to the very top of the file, but it then refused to compile stating:
vcclr.h(23) : error C3821: 'const unsigned char': managed type cannot be used in an unmanaged function.
So next I tried moving the #pragma unmanaged just below the call to #include stdafx.h, which was the first file included. This compiled. (As an aside, can anyone explain why it matters if stdafx.h is called after #pragma managed or unmanaged?) Anyway, it compiled so I tried running and TADAAA! The program ran smoothly.
Now the big question. Do I actually need to consciously consider my current managed/unmanaged context when including my headers? What in particular could be in a header file that would cause my runtime execution to break under these circumstances? Or did I only hide a bug that was previously hidden but lately uncovered with /clr compilation?
Any pointers?
thanks

Can't comment on your other questions but I can tell you that #include
<stdafx.h> needs to be the first line in your file when precompiled headers
are used. Think of it as a compiler limitation. No idea what the real reason
is, but the compiler could at least tell us stdafx.h is not included on the
first line rather than babling unrelated errors. Anyways... I don't use
precompiled headers anymore and things have been running smootly ever
since... lol

We are using Visual Studio.NET 2003 in our project with .NET framework
1.1. One of our libraries is a mixed-mode dll assembly consisting of
one managed C++ library, and several unmanaged C++ libraries. We are
using managed C++ as a bridge between managed .NET code and unmanaged
C++ code, which I'm sure is a fairly common practice. The managed C++
library is compiled with /CLR whereas all other libraries are compiled
without /CLR because...

Hi folks,
I'm looking at moving a large base of C++ code to .Net under tight time
constraints. The code runs in mission-critical environments, and I am
extremely concerned about the loader lock problem and the potential for
deadlocks.
After pouring over the available information, and trying a few experiments,
I am still left with a few questions and issues I hope someone out there can
shed some light on.

Hi,
I am writing a performence critical application, this require me to stick to unmanaged C++ as performance is much better using unmanaged C++ ( about 33% better ), Still, I am trying to avoid the usage of old style COM, my alternative is to expose my unmanaged interface through the CLI, to achieve that I have created a mixed mode DLL in which my unmanaged class are defined.

Hi,
We've found some pretty serious performance hits that we didn't expect in a
mixed mode C++ application. The number crunching bits of our algorithms are
compiled with #pragma unmanaged. They call a number of inline functions
elsewhere, and from the documentation my understanding was that inlined
function calls are supposed to be effectively replaced by their
implementation at compile time. This would mean that inline functions used...

Our project consists of some mixed .dlls and recently we noticed that it had slowed down. When I
investigated I figured out that some inlineable methods of a native C++ type were compiled into (not
inlined) IL methods. Thus we ended up with the standard two entry points with the native one
thunking over to the managed one for native callers.
The thing is, 99.9% of the call-sites to these inlineable methods on this native type are from...

I have a DLL that is "mixed mode" in that it is both an ATL com server and a
reference managed C++ class. For the most part it works, however the problem
I have (which may simply not be solvable) is that I want to call managed
code from the unmanaged (ATL classes). It is quite easy to go the other way
from managed to unmanaged, but is there any way I can expose the managed
class to the unmanaged caller.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
