New in Visual Studio: CMake Debugger, Better Diagnostics, and Video Games

summary
Visual Studio now debugs CMake scripts with an integrated CMake Debugger, pulls dependencies via vcpkg inbox (over 2,200 ports), and runs address sanitizer in continue-on-error mode to collect multiple faults per run; Build Insights integrates into the IDE (example trace showed a 17s build report), structured diagnostics collapses template error hierarchies, include-cleanup and step‑by‑step macro expansion reveal real fixes, and MSVC backend and ARM64 native builds deliver measurable codegen and throughput gains.
