[edit] real life use
is this used anywhere? looks like the worst language ever made by M$.
- It was ugly because it was a patchwork on top of C++ that was on top of C. It had to be, because of its purpose -- allowing managed code to be easily mixed with native code. The purpose was to allow developers to easily write for example wrapper classes exposing a native C++ interface that internally used more or less managed code. But this language see little use today, especially as it was rather quickly superseded by C++/CLI that tries to clean up the syntax. As far as I know, this language is no longer officially supported. — Northgrove 12:52, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Original Research?
The group of "comparison to X" sections seems like it is partly original research and has POV issues - A better approach would be to briefly cite outside sources, and provide enough general information about the topic that the informed reader will grasp the consequences for themself.

- I agree. This article seems filled with original research and POV. It does not read like an encyclopedic article right now, rather a comparative analysis of C++/MC++. It probably needs major re-structuring. Ameltzer 23:38, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Performance of managed C++
It is said : In general, Managed C++ code (MSIL) is slightly faster or more efficient than code (MSIL) compiled using the C# compiler. Judging on existing benchmarks on the web (see here for example), it seems that the performance of managed C++ is not better than C#, if not a lot slower. Hervegirod 14:49, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
I don't agree, in the link you provide, it ends up saying both C# and managed C++ perform the same (which is logical as they are likely to produce very similar if not identical il code). I think the point in the article is hinting at the maturity of the C++ compiler, which may be less relevant since .net 2 (MS studio 2005 had a new C# compiler).
[edit] .NET is not a virtual machine
"Managed" refers to that it is run in, or managed by, the .NET virtual machine that functions as a sandbox for enhanced security in the form of more runtime checks" -- MSIL is targeted at a virtual stack machine but Microsoft's CLR implementation uses a JIT-compiler. There is no ".NET virtual machine". --SealedSun 09:22, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Removed them referring managed C++ as being unchecked, and java being so. They are BOTH checked, Managed C++ is checked by the JIT(Just in Time) Runtime. Predator106 (talk) 17:29, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
