What does the ^ do?
c++-cli
Solution
This code is not C++, it is C++/CLI. `^` is an extension that denotes a pointer to a managed object instance.
Problem
I'm new to C++ programming and am going through some examples that I found a while back. Since I am a decent Java programmer, I'm making good progress (at least from my perspective :D). Now I've come across something I cannot figure out what it does: ``` Threading::Thread ^ th = Threading::Thread::CurrentThread; Net::IPEndPoint^ hostEp; ``` What is the purpose of the `^`? And is there a difference between the useage in the two lines I've only known this to be the XOR Operator. Thanks in advance
