Talk:Managed Extensions for C++

message: is this used anywhere? looks like the worst language ever made by M$.
:It was ugly because it was a patchwork on top of C++ that was on top of C. It had to be, because of its purpose -- allowing managed code to be easily mixed with native code. The purpose was to allow developers to easily write for example wrapper classes exposing a native C++ interface that internally used more or less managed code. But this language see little use today, especially as it was rather quickly superseded by C++/CLI that tries to clean up the syntax. As far as I know, this language is no longer officially supported. — Northgrove 12:52, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  real life use

message: The group of "comparison to X" sections seems like it is partly original research and has POV issues - A better approach would be to briefly cite outside sources, and provide enough general information about the topic that the informed reader will grasp the consequences for themself.
:: I agree. This article seems filled with original research and POV. It does not read like an encyclopedic article right now, rather a comparative analysis of C++/MC++. It probably needs major re-structuring. Ameltzer 23:38, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Original Research? 

message: It is said : In general, Managed C++ code (MSIL) is slightly faster or more efficient than code (MSIL) compiled using the C# compiler. Judging on existing benchmarks on the web (see here for example), it seems that the performance of managed C++ is not better than C#, if not a lot slower. Hervegirod 14:49, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Performance of managed C++

message: "Managed" refers to that it is run in, or managed by, the .NET virtual machine that functions as a sandbox for enhanced security in the form of more runtime checks" -- MSIL is targeted at a virtual stack machine but Microsoft's CLR implementation uses a JIT-compiler. There is no ".NET virtual machine".

thread_title:  .NET is not a virtual machine 

message: Found this in the article:
* C# is a much more strongly typed language, which helps reduce certain bugs, such as buffer overflow vulnerabilities. [this comment is wrong, weak/strongly typed does not affect buffer overflow vulnerabilities. it's because pointers were dropped. Try to create a ruby program with an overflow bug. it's a weak typed language, but you can not write a ruby program with a buffer overflow bug, you will only succeed in finding overflow bugs in the interpreter, which is written in C/C++ with pointers :)]
Clearly that comment should be here in this talk page, not in the article itself. I have removed the above section - 80.42.137.236 (talk) 15:23, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Visual C++ 

message: Given that "Managed Extensions for C++" was discontinued back in Visual Studio 2005 in favor of C++/CLI, which is its successor and replacement in basically all ways except different syntax, I think it would be logical to merge the two together, especially given that a large population of users erroneously refer to C++/CLI as "Managed C++". Other than the code snippets, most of the article revolves around the differences between its native-to-managed-code interop mechanism compared to C# and standard C++, which is essentially the same in C++/CLI and would thus be equally relevant in that article.
