Usage

• C# Garbage Collection vs C++
  • Riccsson.System dont have any Garbage Collection. It has only a shared pointer called GC_PTR<ClassName> that will wrap a ordinary C# class instance.
  • In C# you just create an instance like this: MyClass instance = new MyClass();
    In Riccsson.System in C++ you would do: GC_PTR<MyClass> instance = new MyClass();
    And it will be destroyed directly when it is out of scope and is no referenced else where.
  • Be carefully with circulated references. There you will get memory leak.
• C# Properties vs C++
  • Riccsson.System will have support for properties that is MACRO:fied.
• C# events vs C++
  • Riccsson.System will have support for Events and delegate declerations.
• C# Libraries vs C++
  • Riccsson.System will have all the base libraries like List, Dictionary, FileStream, Thread
    with properties and events close similar as C#
