__identifier
Enables the use of Visual C++ keywords as identifiers.
__identifier(Visual_C++_keyword)
Remarks
The __identifier keyword enables the use of Visual C++ keywords as identifiers, allowing a /clr program to use identifiers that are Visual C++ reserved words from referenced metadata.
For more information, see /clr (Common Language Runtime Compilation).
Note
Use of the __identifier keyword for identifiers that are not keywords is permitted, but strongly discouraged as a matter of style.
The __identifier keyword is valid with /clr and /clr:oldSyntax.
Example
In the following example, a C# class (called template) is created and consumed in the Visual C++ program:
// identifier_template.cs
// compile with: /target:library
public class template {
public void Run() { }
}
// keyword__identifier.cpp
// compile with: /clr
#using <identifier_template.dll>
int main() {
__identifier(template) ^pTemplate = gcnew __identifier(template)();
pTemplate->Run();
}
Requirements
Compiler option: /clr
