In Visual Studio 2019 version 16.9 we shipped the first stage in our plan to support newer versions of the OpenMP standard in C++ under the -openmp:llvm flag. This flag currently enables several correctness fixes and the use of unsigned integers in parallel for loops.
Visual Studio version 16.2 provided a number of improvements to C++ video game development through vector optimizations. Visual Studio version 16.5 builds on these changes to improve the performance of even more vector operations.
