Is anyone aware if /clr:oldsyntax (Managed Extensions for C++) will be removed from Visual Studio 2012?

The messages have been warning it will be removed since 2008 and I'm concerned the time may be close to up.

  • That's not how it works. It is deprecated indefinitely, until supporting it becomes too painful. Then it gets yanked. Lots of turmoil in the compiler because of C++11 and C++/CXX, there's another easy 9 months before anybody knows for sure. – Hans Passant Feb 15 '12 at 14:14

As of Visual Studio 2015 the Managed Extensions for C++ has been removed.

Visual C++ no longer supports the /clr:oldsyntax option. This option was deprecated in Visual Studio 2005.
