Stay in tune with your build using Build Insights
summary
C++ Build Insights profiles compile costs down to functions, headers, templates and link time, surfaces that 100,000 force inline calls amplify code size across switch branches, and shows templates consuming 10% of build time. Using the Visual Studio-integrated tool leads to concrete fixes — hoisting repeated inline calls and switching deep template recursion to constexpr — and yields measurable wins: an ~50% cut in build times in one case and an overall 30% build-time reduction on the demo project.
