This update includes a few interesting new additions for C++ developers. From their VC++ release notes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We&#8217;ve added the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.msdn.microsoft.com\/vcblog\/2018\/09\/26\/step-back-going-back-in-c-time\/\" data-linktype=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;step back&#8221; feature in the debugger<\/a> for C++ in the Visual Studio Enterprise Edition. Step back enables you to go back in time to view the state of your application at a previous point in time.<\/li>\n<li>C++ IntelliSense now responds to changes in the remote environment for both CMake and MSBuild projects targeting Linux. As you install new libraries or change your CMake projects, C++ IntelliSense will automatically parse the new headers files on the remote machine for a complete and seamless C++ editing experience.<\/li>\n<li>We&#8217;ve updated the UWP Desktop Bridge framework packages to match the latest in the Windows Store for all supported architectures, including ARM64.<\/li>\n<li>In addition to fixing 60 blocking bugs, we have added support for the <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/ericniebler\/range-v3\/\" data-linktype=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">range-v3<\/a> library with the MSVC 15.9 compiler, available under \/std:c++17 \/permissive-.<\/li>\n<li>The retail VCLibs framework package in Visual Studio has been updated to match the latest available version in the UWP Store.<\/li>\n<li>Full support is now available for ARM64 C++ Native Desktop scenarios, including VC++ 2017 Redistributable.<\/li>\n<li>We implemented the shortest round-trip decimal overloads of floating-point to_chars() in C++17&#8217;s charconv header. For scientific notation, it is approximately <strong>10x<\/strong> as fast as sprintf_s() &#8220;%.8e&#8221; for floats, and <strong>30x<\/strong> as fast as sprintf_s() &#8220;%.16e&#8221; for doubles. This uses Ulf Adams&#8217; new algorithm, Ryu.<\/li>\n<li>A list of improvements to the standards conformance of the Visual C++ compiler, which potentially require source changes in strict conformance mode, can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/cpp\/cpp-conformance-improvements-2017?view=vs-2017#update_159\" data-linktype=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can find the full release notes <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/visualstudio\/releasenotes\/vs2017-relnotes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft has release version 15.9 of Visual Studio 2017.
