The Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler has had extensive support for code analysis for some time. These features range from the very lightweight like our new C++ Linters that run inside the IntelliSense engine, to features like clang-tidy that bring in many more checks, and all the way up to the complete rulesets that MSVC’s Code Analysis provides. These work together and allow you to turn the dial in Visual Studio depending on how comprehensive you want to be in analyzing and updating your code. One way to do this is with our code analysis, code tidying, and C++ linting tools. We want to make it as easy as possible to update your codebases to use the latest languages standards. Most of these features deserve a blog post on their own, so here they are if you want to learn more: All these features are supported in the IDE by the IntelliSense features you know and love. C++20Ĭ++20 includes great new features such as modules, coroutines, concepts, ranges, the three-way operator, designated initializers and many more. That involves a lot of work in our compilers and standard library but is not complete without the corresponding IntelliSense in the IDE to back these new features up while you are editing your code.

We strive to make Visual Studio the best IDE for working with the latest language standards. Your feedback really does help us deliver a great product! C++ Standards If you have any suggestions or run into issues with Visual Studio, please let us know on Developer Community. Many of these features are rooted in community suggestions. If you want to try all these features out, please grab the latest release of Visual Studio 2019. We hope you find this collection helpful. If you have followed our blog since the 2019 Previews, you may be familiar with some of these features already.

We’ve collected a few of the highlights in case you are interested in upgrading to Visual Studio 2019 or just want to learn how to be more productive when writing C++ code. We’ve made many great improvements to C++ IntelliSense over the course of the Visual Studio 2019 release.
