Managed machines

Post by thepedal »

Does anyone have five minutes to explain the move towards managed machines for me? I'm just curious.

Does it make it is easier to build certain functionality?
Does it mean more stability or better performance?
Does it have any bearing on whether or not it's straightforward to compile as x64?
Is it seen as a new standard for building machines or just an option?

Is this link relevant??

easier: yes
stability: maybe
performance: not really
64bit: just works
standard: its an option. For not-so-dsp-heavy machines and especially for the GUI i think it makes a lot of sense.

managed extensions are now deprecated, there's a new syntax for using managed code in c++ called C++/CLI

Thanks UNZ. That all makes sense.
