Templates and Generics

Thanks, good comparison. Hope you'll get some sleep now. Another thing that generics don't allow you to do: derivation from "naked" type parameter, i.e. mixin programming. Andrew

This is SO GOOD news! I am addicted to C++ templates, like they are used by STL and ATL, and have worried that CLR Generics will be too restrictive for me to take the plunge into C#/.NET for _all_ my projects. If MC++ will let me do both, and use each method's strengths, it is a big deal. Really big. Now, I will be able to compile verifiable assemblies with MC++, right? (I mean, no unsafe constructs or native code.)

Thanks Andrew! You're right about derivation from type parameters. I updated the entry to mention that.

And of course, generics also solve the problem the infamous 'export' reserved word was designed for, at least so far as generics/templates overlap. This may be one of the biggest selling points for the established C++ community!

I've been generally impressed with VC++ 2003's template support. Well done! Usually in only takes a couple days for me to get a new VC++ to ICE but it took two months with 2003 (quite the challenge!). But today I finally ran across something that will ICE the compiler - I'm having trouble finding where to submit bugs on MSDN (they seem to rearrange it every week), so I'll post here (this is 100% reproducible): Create a Win32 DLL project, and just stick this in the CPP // begin code class A; template <class T> class Foo { }; typedef Foo>A< FooA; // note: i realize this is incorrect syntax // this line causes the compiler to ICE. While it is definitely a compiler error, it shouldn't ICE. // the ICE is in compiler file 'msc1.cpp', line 2701 extern template class __declspec(dllexport) FooA;

Nice overview of the difference between generics and templates! The best I have seen on the web yet.
