Managed C++ will not be supported in the future...

At the following link:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/b23b94s7

there is the following quote near the top of the page (pay special attention
to the last sentance):

"For Visual C++ 2005, C++ includes new features for targeting virtual
machines with garbage collection, such as the .NET Framework. In a future
release, support for Managed Extensions for C++ will be removed."

Ouch..... ; )

Oh, I don't know about that :) They lose favor, but languages rarely
truly die - heck, you can even still write programs in Atlas Autocode if
you want, thanks to computer historians.

The new syntax is here to stay!


Wanna bet? ; )

Why would you say that?


Because I've been programming since 1969 and it has become apparent that
absolutely no syntax is ever here to stay... : )


Well, certainly if your horizon is thirty years I'd agree with you. Frankly
I'm hoping to take up residence in Sint Maarten by then, computer languages
be damned. :-)

I asked the question only because I thought you meant to say that we might
see as big a change in managed C++ between VS2005 and the the next version
as between VS2005 and VS2003. That's not likely.

As a sidebar, I wonder, though, if the FORTRAN IV I was writing in the 70s
would still compile today.

Will

You can download f2c for free.

Around 6 years ago I reported 3 bugs in it and a reply came back announcing
a fix, but I haven't verified it ^_^

If you wish to distinguish between using a compiler that has all of its
phases called in turn by one managing process, vs. a translation system that
involves cfront, oops I mean f2c, called by one shell executing a batch
script, oops I mean a makefile, um,

I have this giant library, it's static and it's all compiled in __fastcall fashion. I can not call any of those functions from winforms... even doing a wrapper off the main class, I still cant call it.... how do I overcome this issue ?

I have a complex codebase developed in Managed C++ that I am not particularly looking forward to porting to C++/CLI :) I'd like to know what the most compelling arguments for doing so are so I can justify the cost. For example, will Whidbey generate 64-bit assemblies for Managed C++, or only for C++/CLI? If we have to move to C++/CLI to get 64-bit support, then that's a pretty good reason to move. Also, I've heard rumors about a tool...

Hey everyone, I noticed that unlike C#, managed C++ still uses headers and implementation files. My question is, is there any consensus of where to put the implementation of the managed class? In my project, I put everything in the header file. I don't see the need to put it in a seperate implementation file. Any thoughts?

Hello Esteemed Developers and Experts, I have been using Microsoft Visual C++ .NET for 1 year. During this time, I have searhed some topics over internets. Most of the topics about .NET is related to C# and Visual Basic .NET. There are less documents about Visual C++ .NET or Managed C++. I wonder the reasons of below questions: 1) Is C# more powerful than Managed C++ and Visual C++ .NET? 2) Is Microsoft intending to support C# and...

Hello, I am trying to create a dll that internally uses managed types but exposes a plain unmanaged interface. All the managed stuff shall be "wrapped out of sight". So that I would be able to use that dll from pure unmanaged code (for example inherit from classes in that dll). Is something like that possible. I heared something called ManWarp tried that approach. If it is possible, how can I do that. Maybe there is a small litttle

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
