Is there an equivalent to the C# “var” keyword in C++/CLI?

Question

In C#, I like the var keyword for situations like this:

var myList = new List();

Is there any equivalent in C++/

Answer 1

C++ has typedef. Just alias those hairy types with a typedef, and use the friendly name.

No, there's no "var" keyword. Vaguely recall there's something to that effect in boost.
