__gc?

[FlyBoy]

what it used for?

for e.g:

String __gc * input = Console::ReadLine();

 

i've tried:

string * input=console::readline();

 

and it works just fine...so why the __gc is there( im taking this from a book that i read)

gc stands for garbage collection ( part of the .net framework ) , here's msdn's explanation ... __gc

here's msdn's link to all the C++ Keywords ... C++ Keywords

hope it helps :)
