If you debug optimized C or C++ code and are sick of "Variable was optimized away" messages, try C++ Dynamic Debugging. You get the performance of optimized code, but the debuggability of unoptimized code. Check out my talk to see how we implemented it!

CppCon 2025 SESSION ANNOUNCEMENT: MSVC C++ Dynamic Debugging: How We Enabled Full Debuggability of Optimized Code by Eric Brumer cppcon2025.sched.com/event/27bQB/ms… Register now: cppcon.org/registration/ #cpp #cplusplus #coding #programming

C++ Dynamic Debugging taking center stage at #MSBuild 2025. Now available in Visual Studio 2022 v17.14 GA

VS2022 Dynamic Debugging 좋아보인다. 최적화 되서 디버거에서 제대로 안보이는 변수도 Deoptimize 해서 값을 확인할 수 있게 해주네. x.com/VisualStudio/s…

〰️ Visual Studio 2022 v17.14 Release Party 〰️ Explore the new C++ dynamic debugging now in Visual Studio 2022 v17.14 🎉 Learn what's new in our blog: msft.it/6017SZP6L 🎥 Streaming LIVE in just 4 hours on Visual Studio Toolbox. msft.it/6018SZP60

🌟Supercharge your development process with @VisualStudio's newest feature: C++ Dynamic Debugging It deoptimizes code that you set breakpoints on or step into, giving you the performance of optimized code with the debugging experience of unoptimized code. #GDC2025 🔗Learn more: developer.microsoft.com/games/articles…

Tired of debugging optimized code with missing variables and inlined functions? @VisualStudio preview now has Dynamic Debugging which automatically unoptimizes functions you step into while debugging 👀 Available in UE 5.6, or with a simple cherry pick: devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/cpp-dy…

Visual Studio 2022 version 17.2 contains improvements to the C++ backend: new features, new and improved optimizations, build throughput improvements, and better security. Learn more: msft.it/6014bUsAk #VS2022

The site now supports execution on Windows platforms! Huge thanks to our friends at MS who support, code and run the infrastructure that makes this possible! -mg

MSVC compilers on @CompileExplore now support code execution and static analysis! devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/execut…

Edge 97 was released to stable today. It includes full CFG support in renderer and browser. This combined with CET is 👌

All your favorite code analysis checks in Visual Studio are now available in GitHub!

@rharter @alenz316 Bad news: none of us have the old ink_rendering.cpp code. We have a copy of the published sources, but we completely removed the guts of the ink code for IP concerns. And none of us seem to have a backup anyways. Sorry!

@rharter @alenz316 We never 'removed' points, but rather 'moved' them. This was patented, and I've been advised against publishing the sources for the specifics there: patents.google.com/?inventor=Eric… I'm still digging for sources though, maybe something will be useful for you.

Microsoft C++ team at CppCon 2021

#CppCon Day 2 is a go! Come by our booth today to learn more about our announcements this week, or get answers to any #Cpp questions you might have

@alenz316 @rharter The original (MSFT internal) source server is gone, codeplex is gone, and I can't find the sources on my machines... I'm asking my teammates if they have it. @rharter can you expand on "reduce input points so splines work"? I'll do my best to answer

@alenz316 @rharter That brings back great memories! I had a ton of fun working on that project. I see codeplex is offline... Let me dig around to see if I still have the code around. Caveat: we patented some of the ink work, but I'll see what I can publish.

We continue to invest in bringing fuzzing to every developer at Microsoft, and making it easier for everyone to continuously fuzz. We're searching for two engineers to join the team that builds OneFuzz. aka.ms/onefuzzjobs
