Does C++11 have C#-style properties?

Question

In C#, there is a nice syntax sugar for fields with getter and setter. Moreover, I like the auto-implemented properties which allow me to write

public Foo fo

There is nothing in the C++ language that will work across all platforms and compilers.

But if you're willing to break cross-platform compatibility and commit to a specific compiler you may be able to use such syntax, for example in Microsoft Visual C++ you can do

// declspec_property.cpp  
struct S {  
   int i;  
   void putprop(int j) {   
      i = j;  
   }  

   int getprop() {  
      return i;  
   }  

   __declspec(property(get = getprop, put = putprop)) int the_prop;  
};  

int main() {  
   S s;  
   s.the_prop = 5;  
   return s.the_prop;  
}
