VC++ 2005 and ref objects in the stack

[Ioannis Vranos]

I just came across this article:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnvs05/html/stl-netprimer.asp



and the examples used involve containers created in the managed heap.
However C++/CLI enables ref objects in the stack. Will not this be
enabled in VC++ 2005?

ref objects cannot be created on the stack. C++/CLI simulates stack
semantics, but the objects are actually still on the managed heap.

Yes. Will these stack semantics be implemented in Whidbey?

Yes. This will be in beta 2.

Yes. This will be in beta 2.

And I suppose, STL containers will be able to be used with stack
semantics, right?


In the style:


vector<String ^>strv;


or even


vector<String>strv;



Will these both be enabled?

That's the plan as far as I understand it.

In the style:
vector<String ^>strv;

This one's in the plan for sure.

or even
vector<String>strv;

I don't think this one's in the plan for Whidbey, but I think it's in the
long term vision for C++/.NET unifications.

Will these both be enabled?

Last I heard (chat this morning), it wasn't known if "STL.NET" would be in
Beta 2.
