C++/CLI generator does not create implementations for static fields (variables)

[ddobrev]

Static fields (variables) are represented as properties but the C++/CLI generator only creates definitions in headers for those. To reproduce, move:

static int null;

from CSharpTemp.h to Basic.h.

I was trying to recreate this issue.. But,
I could NOT find "static int null;" in CSharpTemp.h!!
What am i missing??

[ddobrev]

No idea what's happened here. Just add such a member to Basic.h and regenerate to see if there's any problem.

@ddobrev Here is what I tried to recreate the issue :
https://gist.github.com/genuinelucifer/82c983dd3087a3bb37a1
I added two global variables and 2 private variable in Foo class (1 static and one non-static in each case) in the Basic.h file...
None of the 4 variables were generated in Basic.h or Basic.cpp (in vs2013/gen/Basic/)
only 1 out of the 4 (only the non-static class member 'normalFooTest') was generated in Basic.cs, the other 3 were NOT generated!
.
Is this some fault on my side or is the issue really this big?

[ddobrev]

static int staticFooTest; is private so it shouldn't be generated. The two outside the class should be generated in another class, not in Foo.
About C++/CLI, there should be a property generated for a public static field of a class so make sure you test with a public member.

@ddobrev My main concern is that the global variables are nowhere generated. I added one static and one non-static global variable in Basic.h and none of them was generated in either Basic.cs or in the Basic.h/cpp files!
Am i doing something wrong or is this the issue?

[ddobrev]

I am afraid I'm a little busy. Please solve the other issue first and then we'll get back to this one.
