I'm having a major problem trying to use value types like
System::Drawing ::Rectangle with std::vector. Is it possible to use STL
containers with these type of objects, or am I just doing something wrong?
Thanks!
[ -- code snippet -- ]
using namespace System::Drawing ;
#include <vector>
public ref class Base
{
static void GetQuads( Base^ root )
{
std::vector<Rec tangleq;
}
};
gives this error

No, you're not doing anything wrong - it justs doesn't work.
There's a feature known as STL/CLR that was intended to be included in VC
2005 but they weren't able to get it done in time. When it's eventually
released, it'll directly address the kind of thing you're trying to do. In
the meantime, you have to settle with using framework containers for
framework objects.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...C/default.aspx
for some background on STL/CLR. AFIAK, no release date for STL/CLR has been
announced

The particular diagnostic sounds rather academic. Did you try to
downgrade/disable the error? I guess that won't work because
vector will use placement new.
Anyway for Rectangle, this might be used in COM Interop
and therefore should have sequential layout, which should
mean it's binary compatible with the corresponding native
type (RECT). So just using std::vector<REC Twith some
conversions should work just fine.

Hi John,
try storing gcroot or auto_gcroot pointers of the managed objects in
order to embed them within native types like std:vector:
std::vector<gcr oot<Rectangle^> q;
See "Mix Types Safely and Correctly" in http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...CplusCLIBP.asp

A possible problem with this is that Rectangle becomes a GC type, which
means a hidden wrapper is created around it. This is called boxing, and
it's done implicitly. I'd consider using List<Rectangle> , and gcrooting
that if needed.
If gcroot is used, it requires a manual call to delete, as gcroot is
like a naked pointer. auto_gcroot is the exception safe version, but I'm
not sure if it can be stored in a container safely. It could be like
auto_ptr, which doesn't mix with STL.

With reference types (objects), if I assign an object to another, the

With value types (structs), if I assign an object to another, I'll be

When it is being said that, "value types are created on the stack or inline as part of an

called, the value type in that object, is still created on the stack, I
would say, so I don't understand this inline business. Apart from the fact
that it is my understanding that "inline" as it exists in C++ doesn't exist in C#. Could someone please shed some light on this...

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.
