I am completely new to C++ development and am trying to learn it in

  • 0

I am completely new to C++ development and am trying to learn it in Visual Studio. How can I be sure that I am learning only C++ and not the managed extensions? What configuration settings do I need to change? What project types should I stick to? Any other advice?

Side issue:
I have tried turning off Language Extensions under

Project properties -> C/C++ -> Language -> Disable Language Extensions

but this has generated a compiler error:

Error 1 Command line error D8016 : ‘/Za’ and ‘/clr’ command-line options are incompatible

I’ve no idea what’s going on here ..

    The fact that you have /clr switch in there means you’re using a .Net project type – you need to choose a “Win32” project type to get a pure C++ project.

    Avoid anything calling itself “managed” or “CLR”.
