clr

I have a question concerning type constructors within a Value type . This question was inspired by something that Jeffrey Richter wrote in CLR via C# 3rd ed, he says (on page 195 - chapter 8) that you should never actually define a type constructor within a value type as there are times when the CLR will not call it. So, for example (well...Jeffrey Richters example actually), I can't work out, even by looking at the IL, why the type constructor is not being called in the following code: internal struct SomeValType { static SomeValType() { Console.WriteLine("This never gets displayed"); }

When I read about the performance of JITted languages like C# or Java, authors usually say that they should/could theoretically outperform many native-compiled applications. The theory being that native applications are usually just compiled for a processor family (like x86), so the compiler cannot make certain optimizations as they may not truly be optimizations on all processors. On the other hand, the CLR can make processor-specific optimizations during the JIT process. Does anyone know if Microsoft's (or Mono's) CLR actually performs processor-specific optimizations during the JIT process?

Is anyone attempting to implement C# for the JVM? As a Java developer, I've been eyeing C# with envy, but am unwilling to give up the portability and maturity of the JVM, not to mention the diverse range of tools for it. I know there are some important differences between the JVM and CLR but is there anything that is a showstopper? There are very significant differences between the CLR and the JVM. A few examples: Java doesn't have user-defined value types Java generics is completely different to .NET generics Many aspects of C# depend on elements of the framework - delegates etc. You'd need

I would have a quick question : What do I have to include into a visual C++/CLR project to be able to use Font^ ? I have tried to create a ref class, something like this : [SerializableAttribute] [ComVisibleAttribute(true)] [TypeConverterAttribute(typeof(FontConverter))] public ref class Font sealed : public MarshalByRefObject, ICloneable, ISerializable, IDisposable (got it from here : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.font.aspx?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=cpp#code-snippet-1 ) I am working on a project were I have to be able to print something, so my coding is really similiar

I have problem like this , but answer did not help. I have some classes in h and cpp files(which uses boost), and main cpp file. Main cpp include these h files. I include this in main cpp(like in the answer): namespace boost { struct thread::dummy {}; namespace detail { namespace win32 { struct _SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES: public ::_SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES {}; }; }; }; And got rid of this: Warning 1 warning LNK4248: unresolved typeref token (0100001F) for 'boost.detail.win32._SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES'; image may not run But still get this: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) What's the
