I never used CLR stuff myself, but AFAIK one of the fundamentals is automatic
garbage collection (MS refers to this as "managed"). So everything relying on
the deterministic behavior of C++ ctors/dtors won't work.
I doubt anything in boost is written with automatic garbage collectors in
mind. This article regarding the boehmgc shows how to wrap stl containers

I'm new to this topic as well, so please correct me if I'm wrong so far and
with the following statement: there have to be clear interfaces between
automatic gc code and normal deterministic code. Mixing doesn't work out of
the box.
Best,
