I'm trying to use the VS 2005 March Tech Preview and am trying to adjust
some MC++ to the new C++/CLI syntax. I got a little hung up when I
encountered the below error. Certainly my 'Bentley::Mstn: :Element' type
derives ultimately from System::Object. It is a ref class. And upcasting is
always implicit right? So I don't understand why I'm getting this error.
It's happening on my get method:
property Bentley::Mstn:: Element^ Item[]
{
Bentley::Mstn:: Element^ get(int index);
void set (int index, Bentley::Mstn:: Element^ value);
}
And here is the error
C:\mycode\eleme ntWhidbey\Eleme ntList.Mstn.Ben tley.h(97) : error C2553:
'Bentley::Mstn: :Element ^Bentley::Mstn: :ElementList::I tem::get(int)':
overriding virtual function return type differs from 'System::Object
^System::Collec tions::IList::g et_Item(int)'
mscorlib.dll : see declaration of 'System::Collec tions::IList::g et_Item' 6 2738
Hi Bern,
Currently we don't support the VS 2005 Preview, however I have consulted
your problem to the dev team, I will reply you if I got any result.
Thanks for your understanding!

Hi Bern,
One dev team member gave the following answer to your question:
"The compiler in the Tech Preview does not support covariant returns for
member functions (or properties) of managed classes. It is a restriction
imposed by the CLI, so I don¡¯t think C++/CLI or the Whidbey compiler will
allow them."
Thanks!

That deserves further explanation. The code snippet I gave is the textbook
way to create a type-safe collection pre-Whidbey is it not? You derive from
System.Collecti ons.CollectionB ase and then, among other things, you can
override get_Item(int index) and do a cast of List->item[index] from
System.Object * to the type that you're making a collection of. This is
straight out of the documentation.
I realize that as of Whidbey there are superior ways to do type-safe
collections, but are you saying that code written to follow the past
recommended practice for creating type-safe collections will not even
compile in Whidbey? Is CollectionBase being removed from the framework
then? There doesn't seem to be much point in keeping it if the compilers
won't let you use it as intended.

Hi Bern,
Our dev team has provided an example in the new syntax of doing the
explicit interface implementation which is how you write a typesafe
collection in generic-less CLR:
ref class R : ICloneable {
int X;
virtual Object^ C() = ICloneable::Clo ne {
return this->Clone();
}
public:
R() : X(0) {}
R(int x) : X(x) {}
virtual R^ Clone() new {
R^ r = gcnew R;
r->X = this->X;
return r;
}
};
Wish it helps!

Thanks Gary. I'll have to study the C++/CLI draft to try to understand that
code. Meanwhile, could you provide an example of how to do the same thing
using /clr:oldsyntax ?

Hi Bern,
That isn't possible in a direct way since the 7.0/7.1 syntax does not
support explicit interface implementation.

In C++ an overridden virtual function in a derived class must have the exact
same signature of the function which is overridden in the base class, except
for the return type which may return a pointer or reference to a derived
type of the base class's return type.
In .NET the overridden virtual function is similar, but an actual parameter
of the function can be a derived reference from the base class's reference
also.

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.
