I have a header file that is included by both a native cpp file and a managed cpp file(compiled with /clr). It includes only native types, but I want to specify that the native types are visible outside the assembly
(see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4dffacbw(VS.80).aspx).
Essentially, I want:
public class NativeClass // The public makes this visible outside the assembly.
{
};
If I include this code from a native cpp, I get the following error:
error C3381: 'NativeClass' : assembly access specifiers are only available in code compiled with a /clr option
Attempted solution:
I'm currently using a preprocessor solution that causes the public to appear when compiling with the managed client, but it does not appear for the native client:
#ifdef __cplusplus_cli
#define CLR_ASSEMBLY_ACCESS_SPECIFIER__Public public
#else
#define CLR_ASSEMBLY_ACCESS_SPECIFIER__Public
#endif
CLR_ASSEMBLY_ACCESS_SPECIFIER__Public
class NativeClass
{
};
Question:
Is this the appropriate way to achieve this, or is there a better way?
