A recording of my talk at Linux Plumbers Conference 2026 about PGO Optimization of the Linux Kernel is available at youtu.be/EgUTa3vpCuc?t=…. Once again thank you to GCC - GNU Toolchain for the warm welcome! #LinuxPlumbers

Thanks to Carlos for his work on a new build visualisation for vcperf! Read more about it here 👇

We've added support for the C++20 <bit> header for bit-twiddling operations! Read more about the operations and the optimizations we've implemented for them here: devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/bit-in…

📢 #CppCon is next week! Join me and Sy Brand for our session on Visual Studio 2019. We'll start with some exciting announcements 🤫. Then we'll dive into some brand new demos for C++20, code safety, cross-platform development and team productivity cppcon2020.sched.com/event/e79s/a-n…

I added a timeline view to the Compile Score extension for Visual Studio in order to further understand why some dependencies take longer to compile. IMHO, having access to this data where you code is king. Repo: github.com/Viladoman/Comp… #cpp #coding #programmers

In Visual Studio version 16.8 Preview 3, we’ve improved support for major C++20 features across our compiler, standard library, and IDE. Get the details: msft.it/6010TvMz8

Do you want to make your C++ build faster but don't know where to start? Wall clock time responsibility is a metric available in C++ Build Insights that can help guide your decisions. See here for more information: devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/faster…

Kevin Cadieux shows us how to use C++ build insights (docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/buil…) and the vcperf tool using CopperSpice (@[email protected]) as an example, super interesting! devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/faster…

Learn about the wall clock time responsibility, a metric that lets you estimate how much time is really spent by each activity in your build: msft.it/6017T0LLS

Hey C++ devs. Take a quick tour of how C++20 modules work in Visual Studio and try them out in the preview. devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/a-tour…

If a programmer gets an interview because of a recommendation, are they being.......passed by reference?

The Gears of War team saw 27.9X faster iteration build speed with Visual Studio 2019. See how faster build times is helping The Coalition Studio devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/the-co…

We've been working hard on optimizing your builds so you can iterate faster. Learn about the changes we've made to debug information, incremental linking, and more in our blog post: devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/faster…

Finally, CompileScore has a 'build & profile' button inside Visual Studio. It displays the C++ build time data inside the editor with text highlights, reports and flamecharts. Thanks to Kevin Cadieux and Aras Pranckevičius 🇺🇦🇱🇹 for your help and previous work. marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName…

AddressSanitizer for MSVC is no longer experimental. Check out this runtime analysis tool to find and fix memory bugs in your code: devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/addres…

We tested our ASan implementation for MSVC and Visual Studio on open source projects. Here are some of our results: devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/findin…

Visual Studio C++ Build Insights seems like a wonderful tool. Who would have thought: It's the logging header that takes the longest time to compile :D

Compile Score plugin got updated to 1.6.1. Now you have colorization of #include costs embedded in the code in VS 2022. Super nice :)

Build Insights just joined forces with Visual Studio 2022! Now, optimizing your build times is a piece of cake. 🍰 Get the details: msft.it/6017gSk35 #VisualStudio #CPlusPlus
