VS, Clang, cross-platform, and a short video

Today my team was part of the Visual Studio 2015 Preview announcement, and it’s nice to be able to share that Visual Studio is now going to support targeting Android and soon iOS, using the Clang compiler, from right inside VS. This is in addition to continued conformance and other improvements in our own VC++ compiler for targeting Microsoft platforms.

I recorded an 8-minute video about Visual C++’s conformance improvements in our existing compiler that you can get now in the Preview available today, and why using a single source code base in C++ built using VC++ to target Windows/WP and also Clang/LLVM to target Android and iOS is a hot ticket right now. The Resources slide at the end includes links to two CppCon videos I hope you’ll check out if you haven’t already.

I hope you enjoy the news, and the Preview.
