“Latest and Greatest from the Visual Studio Family for C++ Developers"
summary
Shows concrete compiler and tooling gains: compiler moves toward full C++14/17 conformance and two‑phase lookup, codegen uses an SSA optimizer, and 2–4x linker speed with debug fastlink plus another ~30% coming. Editor and debugger work includes predictive IntelliSense, a faster Find All References, in‑debug CPU profiling and an exception helper that pinpoints the null in a chain. Installer uses workload-based packages and claims sub‑6 minute installs; large solution load goes 76s → 15s for 1,700 projects. Cross‑platform features: Visual Studio Code + C++ extension and Linux/WSL remote build/debug.
