How to: Use gcnew to Create Value Types and Use Implicit Boxing
Using gcnew on a value type will create a boxed value type, which can then be placed on the managed, garbage-collected heap.
Example
// vcmcppv2_explicit_boxing4.cpp
// compile with: /clr
public value class V {
public:
int m_i;
V(int i) : m_i(i) {}
};
public ref struct TC {
void do_test(V^ v) {
if (v != nullptr)
;
else
;
}
};
int main() {
V^ v = gcnew V(42);
TC^ tc = gcnew TC;
tc->do_test(v);
}
