Managed C++???
-
I've been writing C/C++ for over 20 years now, and never heard the term "Managed C++" until the last few months. What is it? Maybe something to do with .NET? I've been able to manage my C++ code quite well all along now, with archiving the projects onto other computers, using programs like PVCS, etc.

It has *everything* to do with .NET. .NET provides a managed environment, known as the CLR (common language runtime?), to which every language must be adapted in order to be considered "managed". The CLR provides services such as garbage colletion, etc. I'm with you, however. In nearly 20 years of C/C++ I've never encounterd a problem with memory management. Memory related bugs are about the most easy to find and to fix. My feeling is that anyone who can't do that is simply going to find some other way to screw up an application even with the CLR holding their hand. I can understand why an application exposed to the internet would need to be more carefully managed memory wise, but otherwise, I don't see much use in it.

Lets hope my MC++ app is not screwed up in some other way huh? ;) regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and to be loved in return - Moulin Rouge Alison Pentland wrote: I now have an image of you in front of the mirror in the morning, wearing your knickers, socks and shoes trying to decided if they match!
