What is the Caret Qualifier??

I am not a Java or C# person and I have been seeing this as purported C++:
[code=c]
String ^g;
[/code]

What does the ^ mean?

No info in my C# text and no info I could find with Google.

Unless I'm mistaken, that doesn't explain the usage as a unary operator Aaron (as in this example). Not that I can help I'm afraid :(

In Pascal and Modula the prefix unary '^' means 'pointer to'; but I don't know
what it is supposed to mean in other languages.

I wonder if they're getting confused with a regular expression part.

Sure, sure...just make fun of my response but don't offer anything of your own! Bah, a pox upon you!

I've always thought of this as a pointer to a .Net Object. Used only with .Net objects in C++.

I've never seen it used in normal C++, just with that .Net MFC stuff.
Check out the C++ example in the msdn ArrayList documentation.

I'm not all that good with C++ so this may be all wrong :P

If Microsoft calls this:

[code=cpp]
void PrintValues( IEnumerable^ myList );
[/code]

... C++ they've gone completely nutters. 'nuff said.

It's Managed C++ or C++/CLR which has some sytatic differences from actual C++ but can make .NET calls. It's C++.NET :D

Good point Evans. I'll move it to C / C++ forum.
