devblogs.microsoft.com/cppbl… My colleagues, Cody & STL, has spent quite a bit of time bringing constexpr <cmath> to MSVC. It was a massive undertaking but in the end MSVC will be able to provide extremely accurate results from these functions at compile-time! Don't miss this series!

Proposal P0533R9 made numerous math functions in the standard library compile-time evaluable in C++23. Implementing the feature required a good bit of

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++ 😁

Changing a keyboard shortcut in Visual Studio feels simple… until you peek behind the curtain. 😅 Years of developer habits, multiple scopes, and even sequenced shortcuts all shape how each key press works. The #VisualStudio team keeps it flexible while protecting our muscle memory — that’s thoughtful engineering. Check out Mads' blog for more info: msft.it/6017tYGyh
