Answer 1

Mofey I've not had any personal experience with C++ on anything I've done professionally since the late 90s, so I'm not the best person for this question.

I do recall the following articles from last year that might be of interest though.

If you are curious about pointers in C#, here are a few links that I recommend checking out:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/unsafe-code-pointers/pointer-types

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/pointer-related-operators

Answer 3

Mofey Hmmm... Why do you need direct access over pointers? That's a pretty low level concern for which I've not personally needed access to in any of the business level application development I've done.

Perhaps, it would be different if I was doing low level development where CPU / GPU intensive processes were involved. However, that's just not been a requirement in my personal experience.

I've also not needed to make use of pointers in C#, my primary language of choice, for any of the wide use cases I've encountered in enterprise application development over the past two and a half decades.

While C# has relatively limited pointer support compared to C/C++, it's just not a feature that I've needed to tap into.

Answer 4

Mofey also google and understand the concept of cross compiler, this is the concept that helps you understand the bigger picture of how applications compiled on one platform using a specific tool chain can run on a target platform.

Answer 5

A another concept that helps application developer not to worry on which platform his code will run is Dockers, do go thru it . If your application is built using Dockers it can run on any platform.

Answer 6

Mofey Go has pointers.

Answer 7

is it possible? i'd like because android studio is too heavy for my pc, dualcore

Qamard see if this helps you https://medium.com/@AndreSand/building-android-with-docker-8dbf717f54d4

Answer 9

In Android Studio you can use Java or Kotlin Language only..

Answer 10

No,its not possible to create android or IOS app using c++.

Answer 11

Check out Xamarin.Forms - using C# for the code behind and XAML for the UI, you can easily create cross platform apps in VS 2019 using a single shared code base.
