Description
Using 'CLR' flag (which would in turn activate 'USEMALLOC').
The only problem seems to be exception handling, but MS says /clr can handle C++ exception
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/633chdda%28v=vs.80%29.aspx
so in the end, it is mostly about testing..
Optional: Add syntax highlighting for Managed C++.

Yes, it is possible to use -EHa (enable C++ EH (w/ SEH exceptions)) compiler option.
The question:
Where to add -clr compiler option?
After adding it for C++ extension files, not all U++ packages compiles.
Also, -clr has sub-options, such as pure, safe, oldSyntax, initialAppDomain, noAssemlbly. Therefore, I think, this is package related only, configured by developer.

Ok, here is first part of the patch for using CLR build option.
Tested for console and GUI U++ applications combined with managed C++ source code (invoking MessageBox::Show from System.Windows.Forms.dll along with PromptOK, for the GUI).

Applied, but I moved USEMALLOC thing from builder to Core - please check.

It works. Thanks.
Other thing is default SSE2 build flag for new packages, which incompatible for -clr compiler option:
cl : Command line error D8016 : '/arch:SSE2' and '/clr' command-line options are incompatible
Fortunately, it can be disabled.

Or fix it like this.
#8 Updated by Sender Ghost over 12 years ago
But maybe this is fixed for newer MSC versions like Visual Studio 2010.
It was related for MSC9.
