In the last couple of years we have run Pure Virtual C++, a free one-day virtual conference for the whole C++ community. This month we're doing it again! Sign-up for free on the website to be the first to hear about our program schedule, access our extra on-demand C++ demos, and get more virtual surprises. The live event will run April 26th ...
GitHub Codespaces and Visual Studio Code lower the barrier to entry for developing C++-based applications and libraries.
In this blog, we will discuss how much faster you can get to code with speedier C++ IntelliSense ready and opening a file. Learn how search improved with faster with C++ Find All References and indexed Find in Files.
We’ve seen a lot of excitement around C++ modules since we announced support in the Microsoft C++ compiler and Visual Studio. Ever since, the community has been asking us when CMake support was coming. I am happy to announce that Visual Studio 2022 17.2 Preview 2 has experimental support for C++ modules in CMake projects.

There is some setup required on the Mac side to enable the support, but then the Mac is treated just as any...
In this post we will walk through the new Visual Studio Code Embedded Tools extension. We'll show how to acquire embedded tool dependencies with vcpkg then edit, build, deploy, and debug an Azure RTOS ThreadX project highlighting the new peripheral register and RTOS object views.
Compiler Explorer is a popular resource for visualizing the assembly output of various compilers, trying out different compiler versions and flags, and testing many popular libraries. We're pleased to announce that, as of today, code execution and static analysis are now available for MSVC on Compiler Explorer. Execution on CE has been one of ou...
GSL 4.0.0 has been released! Here is a summary of the changes.
C++20 is here and has been supported in MSVC since 16.11, but today's post is not about how you can use it, but rather how we used it to effectively eliminate an entire class of runtime bugs by hoisting a check into compile-time.
