Hi,
I'm writing a CLI layer into my application, and I have several ref
structs. Now, I've come into a situation that screams for a common
interface, but because the structs are ref, I didn't see a reason why
I couldn't have the structs implementing this interface. ANd it does
work, but I'm concerned about the reprecussions of doing this. Is
this good programming practice? And what will the resulting struct
translate to in c#. I mean it is a ref struct, so I would imagine it
would be what, a boxed something? Oh, and before you ask, the reason
I haven't converted these objects to classes is just because it would
take a very large change in the design of the application which is
quite large at this point. Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

Apart from the fact that by default struct members are public and class
members are private, a ref struct is identical to a ref class. If you
explicitly set the visibility (to public, private, protected, or
internal), they work the same way and generate the same code.
And what will the resulting struct translate to in c#.
No, ref class and ref struct both translate to C# class. value class and
value struct both translate to C# struct.
I mean it is a ref struct, so I would imagine it
would be what, a boxed something?
Nope, ref struct is not a value type, it doesn't get boxed. It's a
reference type, a C# class.

I'm using several C functions (in a dll) that receive a struct as parameter.
Since I'm doing it in C#, I assume I need to recreate the struct in C# in
order to call the function with the required parameter. What would I need
to do in order to convert a struct that looks like this:
typedef struct
{
char rsvd0;
char iadl1;

Hi,
I'm just learning cpp, and the exercise I'm working on is basically as
follows:
1) Create a struct type with 4 members (char, char, char, int).
2) Create an array of, say 3 instances of the struct, and populate them
with data.
3) cin 1, 2, 3, or 4 from the user
4) If the user selected, say, 2, display the contents of the 2nd data

I am new to C# and to structs so this could be easy or just not
possible.
I have a struct defined called Branch
If I use Branch myBranch = new Branch(i); // everything works
If I use Branch (myBranch + x) = new Branch(i); // it doesn't
x is a loop iterator, i is an int for the constructor to define an
array.
What am I doing wrong here.

What is the difference between having a struct with constructors and
methods versus a class?
In many C++ examples online I have seen code similar to this:

I am trying to create a "pseudo-class" using structs. Member variables
seem easy enough to do. However, trying to implement member functions
has led to nothing but frustration. I have tried using function
pointers, but when I do, I cannot figure out how to get access to the
member variables. Here is what I have so far:
typedef struct {
int board;
void (*toString)();
void (*clear)();

I'm really confused by the difference between a Struct and a Class?
Sometimes, I want just a group of fields to go together. A Class
without methods seems wrong, in that it carries too much overhead (I
think). A Struct seems more appropriate. At least it is what I would
have used in other languages. But since a Struct *can* hold methods,
I wander if I am saving anything. If not, why use it?

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.
Here is my compilation command:
