.NET and new nullptr pointer value

[Peter Bromley]

Hi,

I have a simple question.

With C++/CLI (and being added to C++ in general) there will be a new
keyword "nullptr" which is a "better" thing to use when zeroing pointer
types or testing them against zero.

Is there a particular .NET name we will be able (or encouraged) to use
instead of this new keyword or is nothing planned (just use nullptr)?

I am only wondering because there exists the System.IntPtr.Zero member
which one is supposed to use for unmanaged pointers and perhaps for
consistency a similar member is planned for managed references and pointers.

Apologies if this is documented somewhere readily accessible or is just
a dumb question.

Hi Peter,

Based on my knowledge, there is no counterpart of the nullptr in current
version MC++.
You may try to take a look at the link below.
