Hello,

Will future BCB releases allow compilation with the ".NET" runtime
libraries,
will this be optional, as I've heard code compiled with the ".NET" runtimes
is slower. Is the entire C++ language in these runtimes, or is it just a few
classes,
why is it called "managed" and ".NET"?

G'day Mate!

I'm afraid you do not know yet that Borland stopped support/development of
BCB. It is death for some time.

No. The only way that BCB will include .NET support of any kind is if C++
is included as an additional personality in a future version of BDS (Borland
Developer Studio). It is technically feasible, we saw a working demo at
Borcon, so it is very likely that the next version of BCB will actually be a
new release of BDS instead. BDS already includes support for Delphi and C#
under .NET.

It can be. There is more overhead involved.

Quote:

C++ is not part of .NET at all at this time. Well, the internal core of
..NET is written in C++, but users cannot current write C++ code that
utilizes .NET, as C++ is not a supported language in .NET yet.

Quote:
why is it called "managed"

Because the .NET framework handles all of the memory management on behalf of
the application. Memory leaks and access violations are not supposed to be
possible anymore because the framework keeps track of everything and
generates runtime errors that the application can intercept if anything
invalid is attempted.

You must not have been hanging around this group very long, or else you
would know that what you claim is completely not true at all. At BorCon,
Borland's own C++ developer team claimed that they not only did research and
testing into a new version of BCB, but they actually want to release an new
BCB version, and it is very likely to happen. Whether or not an updated BCB
IDE will be released, or whether C++ will be introduced into BDS (Borland
Developer Studio) instead, is not currently known. That question will be
answered by December 15th.

Just wondering why there is no official announcement in this group or on the
Borland website:

E.g.: Yes there will be a new version of BCB, details following at Dec. 15 th ?

Whatīs so special about Dec. 15th ?

Remy, If you are going to release a new BCB for BDS, please have it also
work in .NET and use the new 2.0 C++ extensions. I don't want to have
to buy both VS 2.0 and C++ Builder.

Thanks

Remy doesn't work for Borland.
TeamB are independent from Borland - they just like helping us out.
Good for them!

I never said a new BCB version was definate. I said it had been looked
into, and that it was likely to happen since the developers want to do it.
But the executables have not made up their minds yet one way or another.

You are asking the wrong person. I am not a Borland employee. Please
direct your feature requests to Borland directly, via QualityCentral
(http://qc.borland.com)

As for C++ working in .NET, it is up to Microsoft to implement such support
in .NET first before Borland can even touch it. Also, the C++ extensions
for .NET are currently being completely re-designed, so Borland can't
implement them, either, until they are finished being standardized.

Not exactly. We are partners with Borland. Borland founded TeamB, and
membership to TeamB requires Borland approval.

I think he meant we aren't employees, and indeed being hired by Borland means
you have to resign from TeamB (as has happened in the past).

Would C++ in BDS be a year or more away as Delphi 2005 has just been
released or would they release a new
BDS for C++ inclusion.

If it happens, then it would be in the next major release of BDS.

Thank you Remy.
Yes - i know that already - and AFAIK they promised an answer till Dec. 15th.
So the answer could be given before Dec. 15th - or am i wrong ?

I just wondered why they did chose Dec. 15th and why such a decission
(yes or no) takes so much time and hasnīt been given already at BorCon.
But anyways, only a few days till Dec. 15th and we will have (hopefully)
a definitive answer.
