managed C++ compiler for Mono ?

[Freddy BL]

Hi GCC-Team!

Is it possible, that you extend the C++-compiler with .net-Features or 
creating a second C++-compiler which is the same like g++ with some 
.net-extensions?

The MSC++.net Compiler have some interesting features. You can mix with it 
native and .net code.

On the Mono-Mailinglist (Mono is a free implementation the ECMA-standardized 
.net for Linux/Unix, Windows, MacOS and other Systems. For more infos look 
at http://www.go-mono.org) there was a discussion about the MS-compiler C#, 
VB.NET and C++.net, which all create binary-code for .net-VM.

At first I thought that the MSC++.net-Compiler are two compilers. Which I 
have written here:
http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-list/2002-July/001202.html

But the best comment for this comes from Serge, who have shown an example of 
a program, which have mixed code of using ANSI-C++-libraries and 
.net-libraries.
Look at his comments at
http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-list/2002-July/001207.html
and
http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-list/2002-July/001209.html

After that I found it so interesting, that I ask, how a compiler like this 
must look on mono:
http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-list/2002-July/001225.html

The answer of Miguel (the mono-project-leader) was, that its the best, if 
the Compiler is the g++ with .net-extensions:
http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-list/2002-August/001233.html


So, is it possible (or already planed) to create a "managed C++" comnpiler? 
A Compiler which have the .net-features of the MSC++.net-Compiler, but which 
used Mono as .net-runtime?

For this I think, it is better, if both projects (GCC and Mono) work 
together on a compiler like this.
So, it would be nice, if you write your answers to the Mono-list at 
mono-list@ximian.com , too.
