If you write code for the Universal Windows Platform you’re familiar with the C++\/CX language extensions. These extensions let the compiler create “language projections” for the Windows Runtime (WinRT). Language projections encapsulate the underlying WinRT APIs so that they can be called in a natural fashion.<\/p>\n
The C++\/WinRT project<\/a> creates these language projections in standard C++ code. Using C++\/WinRT previously required that you clone their repo from GitHub. C++\/WinRT is now included in build 17025 of the Windows SDK Insider Preview<\/a>.<\/p>\n You can read more about this release of C++\/WinRT on the moderncpp blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n We on the Visual C++ team find C++\/WinRT to be one of the best test cases for our compiler as MSVC approaches conformance with the C++ Standard<\/a>. As you try new, standards-conforming features out in MSVC, please be sure to give us your feedback. We can be reached via the comments below, via email (visualcpp@microsoft.com<\/a>) and you can provide feedback via Help > Report A Problem in the product<\/a>, or via Developer Community<\/a>. You can also find us on Twitter (@VisualC<\/a>) and Facebook (msftvisualcpp<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you write code for the Universal Windows Platform you’re familiar with the C++\/CX language extensions.
