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!
Sometimes a change can make your clean build slower but your everyday builds faster. Our new iterative build tool measures both so you can decide which optimizations to keep. Available now in Visual Studio 2026

Try out the new Whole Codebase Indexing (WCI) available in Visual Studio 18.9 Insiders 1 for:
-faster code navigation and colorization
- CodeLens references for C++
- richer symbols for Copilot tools

Pure Virtual C++ 2026 is July 21. First look at two featured sessions on cutting C++ build pain: Ryan Shepherd on C++20 modules in C++/WinRT (Windows Terminal cut builds ~15% and shed tens of GB), and David Li on letting Copilot fix real build bottlenecks: devblogs.microsoft.com/cppbl…

Adobe used MSVC's sample-based profile-guided optimization to speed up Photoshop brush strokes, file opens, and filter execution on Windows: 20% faster on x64, 13% on ARM64. Profiles come from real release builds, no source rewrites. devblogs.microsoft.com/cppbl…

Sub agents are coming to Copilot in Visual Studio. Such as smooth implementation too.
Coming soon...

GitHub Copilot Build Performance helps reduce C++ build times by identifying expensive header includes, template instantiations, and function generation costs.
It then plans optimizations, with you in control.

GitHub Copilot CLI is now GA 🎉
This is agentic development, right in the terminal—planning, building, testing, and reviewing without context switching.
A big step forward in how developers work. 🚀
