New in Visual Studio 2022 - Conformance, Performance, Important Features
summary
Visual Studio 2022 17.3 runs natively on arm64 and the MSVC compiler also runs natively while still targeting x86/x64/arm64; more than 600 vcpkg libraries validated on arm64 and vcpkg hosts 1900+ ports overall. C++20 is available under the standard switch, C++23 features like deducing this and std::expected/stack_trace land earlier, and CMake + VS generator supports modules. Tooling adds libFuzzer + ASan integration, Compiler Explorer now executes MSVC and shows static analysis, backend codegen improves loop unswitching/vectorization, and the IDE reports 3.5x faster final references with many other timeliness gains.
