CLR support

Is it possible to compile VS project with /clr option?

I don't know the Microsoft ecosystem. I googled it, but I don't clearly understand what /clr does. Could you explain to me what it is, and why you need the VS project to be compiled with it?

I have a problem similar like this dotnet/corefxlab#1673. And i'm trying to find managed implementation of a good compression algorithm. I have tried to move code to clr project but my c++ is not so good.

In visual studio community 2015 clr project located in "File/New/Project/c++/clr/Class Library".

I see, Managed C++ is compiled to something sort of like bytecode that can be a bit more portable. We won't add this to our project, since the VS project is used for our CI.

However, you can clone/fork the repo, or just copy lib/ into your own project, and compile with that option. I would offer to help more, but I know next to nothing about this topic.
