Sub agents are coming to Copilot in Visual Studio. Such as smooth implementation too. Coming soon...

GitHub Copilot build performance for Windows now supports project-specific builds. Build one MSBuild project or CMake target instead of your entire codebase. Available in Visual Studio Insiders. Learn more: devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/projec…

MSVC Build Tools 14.51 RC is here: C++23/C++20 conformance fixes, modernized parser, consteval + coroutine improvements, tons of SSA/CSE/SROA/PGO optimizer wins, preview Intel APX, full ARM64 SVE, SIMD‑boosted STL, and a long list of bug fixes. 📘 Blog: buff.ly/bIcA18l

Dropping today: our new logo in dynamic backgrounds, profile backgrounds, and gamer pics!

GitHub Copilot Build Performance helps reduce C++ build times by identifying expensive header includes, template instantiations, and function generation costs. It then plans optimizations, with you in control. Using it today? Share your experience: surveymonkey.com/r/5YBM8BX

@educatedpork @mkristensen I've requested a backport for the fix. It will be in the next servicing release in v14.50

@mkristensen @thecpppm Latest update (well, one of the *only* updates from MSFT) on the community post indicates that a real (ie. non-preview) release of the fix may not be until November 2026 (contradicting the lifecycle schedule). So that's *a full year wait for a serious bug fix*. Just awful.

@mkristensen, I like the VS Community site for reporting things, but I don't much care for the lack of detail on issues that have been stuck in a 'Fixed: Pending Release' mode since November. Could this be improved? Like, detail which release? eg: developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/C-Bad-codege…

@wookash_podcast Another example from the back-end is the new dynamic debugging experience that lets you debug optimized code as if it were a debug build. The comment in that thread seems fairly sensational, but it does not imply Microsoft is giving up on C/C++ 😁
