Hi,

as far as I know, neither Shares Source CLI from Microsoft nor Mono
can execute a CLR executable generated by Microsoft Visual C++ .NET, which
is not a .NET implementation but just "managed extensions" that allows a C++
application to use .NET assemblies - is this part correct?

I have not struggled too much, but last time I tried to strip or
place relocation information of executable. Since its been a long time, I
dont remember whether or not I was adding or removing this information.

Anyway, I really wonder if I have a chance to run C++ code that uses
managed extensions for C++ on my FreeBSD box, or, should I wait ages to see
ECMA to approve new C++ CLI/CLR standard and somebody then writes a C++
compiler for this?

Thanks!
 
FreeBSD Poweeeer!

Sorry ;-)
I have no answer to that, just read FreeBSD !
(Although, since .NET I am more or less a microsoft fan waiting for
Longhorn)

Anyway you could try google + "managed C++ gcc"
or google + "managed C++ mono"

you will see there is agitation about that, but nothing, yet....
 
If you use Whidbey C++ and generate verifiable assemblies (compile with
/clr:safe) then in principle these should run on all ECMA compliant
platforms.
