Visual C++ .NET/Class/literal

literal string initializer

 

#include "stdafx.h"
using namespace System;
ref class MyClass
{
   literal String^ name = "Bob";
   public:
   MyClass()
   {
       Console::WriteLine(name);
   }
   void Print()
   {
       Console::WriteLine(name);
   }
};
int main()
{
   MyClass^ c = gcnew MyClass();
   c->Print();
}

static vs literal

 
#include "stdafx.h"
public ref class MyClass
{
   public:
      static const int i = 15;
      literal int j = 25;
};
template<int i>
void f()
{ }
int main()
{
   //int a1[MyClass::i]; // error: static const MyClass::i isn"t considered a constant
   int a2[MyClass::j]; // OK
   //f<MyClass::i>();  // error
   f<MyClass::j>();  // OK
}
