Some comments on the previous posts - mostly in reverse order
template typedefs - while this is relatively simple to implement we felt that it just didn't provide as much value as the features we...

There is one change that fell out of the implementaion of rvalue references that has broken some code bases internally. It is code like the following:
struct S
{
S();
explicit S(const...

When we started the Dev10 planning process 'nullptr' was still under active discussion by the C++ Committee (it is funny how sometimes the smallest features can take up so much time) and we didn't...

Ah: this feature is officially known as "late specified return type" and it will be supported in Dev10. What I understand by "alternate function syntax" was a proposal to unify the syntax used for...

This has not yet been finalized -- but I suspect it won't be much different from what Visual C++ 2008 requires.

Here's my answer:
YES - Rvalue reference and move semantics
No - Generalized constant expressions
No - Modification to the definition of plain old data
YES- Extern template (note: we have...

The CLR has the concept of a reference type and a value-type and we need to expose these concepts in C++/CLI. A reference type lives on the garbage collected heap while a value-type lives on the...

This C++/CLI issue: abstract and pure-virtual are slightly different concepts - if a class has a pure-virtual function then is is abstract - and to make this clear to anyone reading the code it is...

I used to follow the newsgroups but for the last year I have hung out on the MSDN Visual C++ forums:

There is definitely a lot to be said for the sentiment "If it ain't broken don't fix it". If your application is working and Visual C++ 6.0 works for you then why change it. There is a story...

Unfortunately internally the CLR has no notation of the C++ concept of 'const' so even if the compiler did allow you to define const member functions the code would not be understood by the CLR, C#,...

There are supported today - though it is ugly:
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Runtime::InteropServices;
[ StructLayout(LayoutKind::Explicit) ]
public value struct MyUnion

I can answer for the compiler: mostly we are just fixing a lot of bugs. Most of the bugs we have fixed (and will fix - we are not done yet) are issues that customers raised on the MSDN Feedback site....

While in general it might be possible to do this the compiler would have to take a very pessimistic view and assume if a class template was specialized with a reference type then it should be...

I must admit that I haven't tried using Boost with C++/CLI though I have tried it with the containers from the C++ Standard Library. I believe that you should be able to do it. The one problem will...

Hi Ted: MQ was the name of a "quality milestone" it was a chance for the whole of Visual Studio to take a step back and look at the processes we use to develop software and how we can improve them....

I agree with you - at the very least we should have a way to list which of the issues that were reported through the Product Feedback site were fixed. I'll pass on the suggestion to the appropriate...

The future is definitely "mixed". For the forseeably future I see developers using a mixture of "managed code", be it C#, VB, Java or whatever else appears on the horizon, and "native" code - C, C++,...
