Compiler The compiler supports managed incremental builds. The compiler supports Intel Core 2 microarchitecture Intrinsics support newer AMD and Intel chipsets. The __cpuid function is updated. The /MP compiler option reduces total build time.

The /Wp64 compiler option and __w64 keyword are deprecated. /Qfast_transcendentals /Qimprecise_fwaits

Linker User Account Control information is now embedded into manifest files for

executables by the Visual C++ linkerMFC Library The linker now has the /DYNAMICBASE option to enable the Address Space

MFC An expanded MFC library to support modern user interface

(UI) elements such as the Office Fluent UI, docking windowsand MDI tabbed windows similar to those used in some

releases of Visual Studio, enhanced toolbars, a rich new setof controls, support for controlling the overall visual style,support for desktop alerts, and much more.

Enables you to build MFC applications that have the visual

Standard C++ Library TR1 Extensions Implementation of the proposed extensions to the C++

ISO standard included in the draft document TechnicalReport 1. Microsoft's implementation includes supportfor fixed size arrays, function objects, hash tables,regular expressions, template metaprogramming,template types for aggregating related objects, andrandom number generation.

Portions of TR1 are scheduled for adoption in the

upcoming C++0x standard as the first majoraddition to the ISO 2003 standard C++ library.

STL/CLR

Bring STL idioms to CLR types Same containers

Same complexity

Same iterators

And

Containers expose .NET collection interfaces

IEnumerable, ICollection, IList, IDictionary

Usable outside a single assembly

Marshaling

New library to simplify passing data betweennative and managed code

Template-based pattern that applies to any kind

of data Support lots of types out-of-the-box

System::String^

const char *System::String^

const wchar_t *System::String^

char *

System::String^wchar_t *

System::IntPtrHANDLE

System::String^

BSTR

System::String^bstr_tSystem::String^

std::string

System::String^std::wstring

System::String^ATL::CStringT

System::String^ATL::CStringT

System::String^ CComBSTR

Stateless Transition

I want to marshal between managed and nativedata types for conversions that do not require anylifetime management or complex resourceallocation

#include

using namespace msclr::interop;

const char* sourcestring1 = teststring

System::String^ deststring1;// Convert const char* to System::String^ using

// TO to = marshal_as (from)

deststring1 = marshal_as(sourcestring1);

Stateful Transition

I want to marshal between managed and nativedata types for conversions that require some kindof lifetime (memory, resource, etc)

#include

using namespace msclr::interop;

System::String^ sourcestring1 = teststring

const char* deststring1;

// Convert System::String^ to const char*

marshal_context ctx;

deststring1 = ctx.marshal_as(sourcestring1);

Elegant Interop

STL/CLR + Marshaling = Better Interop

#include

#include

// Take generic collection and transform into container. No copying

void MyFunction(Generic::IList^ list )

{

cliext::collection_adapter cont( list );

cliext::list myList( cont.size() );

cliext::transform(cont.begin(), cont.end(),myList.begin(),

cliext::bind2nd(cliext::plus(),2));

}
