Verbatim Literals in Managed C++? (like C#'s @"blah")

in C++11, there is raw string literal:

cout<<R"((\"ddd\aa)\n)"<<endl;
cout<<R"delimiter((\"ddd\aa)\n)delimiter"<<endl;

output is:

(\"ddd\aa)\n
(\"ddd\aa)\n

This is not currently possible. Managed C++ string literals have almost the exact same rules as normal C++ strings. The managed C++ spec is in fact just an augmentation of the ANSI C++ standard.

Currently there is no support for C# style literal syntax in C++ (managed or not). You must manually escape every character.

See Section 9.1.3.3 in the C++/CLI spec for more details. (Spec Link)

While not quite as terse as the '@' C# verbatim string literal, the following does compile /Clr:pure, so you can use C++ Raw String Literals for pure MSIL and a similar result:

String^ f = gcnew String(R"(C:\foo\bar.txt)");

Raw string literals can be used in regular C++ also:

char *x = R"(C:\foo\bar.txt)";
