welcome to visual studio 2022 for

siebel's plus developers my name is sai

brand i'm the team siebel's plus

developer advocate and today i'm going

to show you why you should upgrade if

you're a cbox plus developer

now before i get started the mission of

the c-plus plus team here is to make the

lives of all cbos plus developers on the

planet better and that comes with a

bunch of different facets to it we

participate in the standards we drive

our own proposals we help others with

theirs we prototype proposals

we invest in our toolchain our compiler

and libraries we bring them up to the

latest standard we

improve their performance and their

security

we simplify dependency management with

vc package which is an open source

package manager

we improved the visual studio ide to

make it the most

productive experience that we can

and then we continue to enhance the cbs

plus experience for visual studio code

as well

but today we're going to focus on two

and four our tool chain and the ide

and on the ide front one thing you might

have heard a lot today is visual studio

2022 is 64 bit and the cpus plus team

have made sure that this transition can

be as smooth as possible

so a few things you'll notice is the new

projects are going to target 64-bit by

default

and if you have these kind of huge

projects which previously you might have

struggled with memory usage should be

less of a problem now

and we do want to make that upgrade as

pain free as possible so you can install

the 2015 17 and 19 tool sets directly

from the installer in 2022 just by

clicking those buttons

you can even

install miner toolsets side by side as

well

if you have binary dependencies which

you can't necessarily recompile we are

guaranteeing binary compatibility back

to 2015 so if you have those

dependencies you can still upgrade to

the latest tool set

if you have open source dependencies

then you could potentially use vc

package to to upgrade to the new toolset

for those if you'd like to know more

about porting and upgrading specifically

you can check out aka dot ms slash cpp

upgrade

now a few other reasons you might want

to upgrade

hot reload is a new feature in 2022 and

has support for cbs plus

so this lets you apply code changes

without stopping a breakpoint or

restarting your application

it injects your changes into the app

dynamically and doesn't trigger a full

rebuild of your project this is super

useful if you're developing an

interactive application like an uh a

video game for example where you might

want to make a change and immediately

see this reflected in the running

program without having to to stop or

recompile

you can even

click this little button on the right

here to

to hot reload on file save

if you want to know more about hot

reload you can check out aka dot ms

slash hot reload cpp we also want to

make sure that visual studio is the best

choice for if you're developing on

windows but targeting any platform not

just windows and part of that is wsl 2

support

so this allows you to build and debug

cbs plus code on wsl 2 distributions

without having to set up an ssh

connection

and it has support for both cmake and ms

build we would recommend cmake if you're

doing open source development but ms

build support is there as well

and if you'd like to know more details

you can check out cbp

hyphen wsl2

and then we also have experimental

support for lib fuzzer lib fuzzer is an

in-process coverage guided evolutionary

fuzzing engine from the llvm project

so if you're wanting to fuzz your um

your apis in order to

guarantee their correctness and security

then you can use this it's now available

in vs 2022

and you pass f sanitize equals buzzer if

you'd like to know more you can check

out aka.ness cpp lib fuzzer

now if you can

upgrade your

um

your ide that's great if you can upgrade

your standard of siebel's plus as well

that's even better

so where we are with siebel's plus

conformance right now is all stable

sequence plus 20 features have been

completed there are a few defect reports

which um came in late they're kind of

like bug reports to the standard they

came in late in the process so we're

still dealing with those but all stables

plus 20 features are now available

understood sequels plus 20 switch so we

guarantee that these are api stable and

their performance at their um production

ready

we also have some sequels 23 features um

all of which have actually being

contributed by

all of you folks to our open source

standard library so that's great

coming next we are focusing a lot on

standard library modules and core

routines both the proposals going

through the standard and implementing

them in our tools

um on the stl specifically we have 115

sql 20 features completed

and a bunch of those have been

contributed by you so thank you so much

for all of that you can see the graph

here for c plus 20 features you can see

the little bump at the end as is those

defect reports coming in

um but we're starting to get all of

these back down again

you can check out the the most recent

data at microsoft dot github dot

slash stl

now i'm going to demonstrate the four

main features of c plus 20 all working

together in tandem

okay so i'm going to create a new

project

an ms build application and i'll call it

launch

so this gives me a new project i want to

show ranges modules coroutines and

concepts all working together

so i'm going to show a little random

number generation example so i'm going

to get a bunch of random numbers random

numbers helps if i can type

and i'm going to get these from

something called launch xor shift

x or shift is a specific random number

generation algorithm which is

implementable in about five lines of

code

and actually generates pretty decent

random numbers

of course we need to seed it with some

high quality c like four

and then we can say loop through all of

them

random numbers

and print them all out

with a new line

okay so this is what basic usage is

going to look like and now we can think

about how to actually implement this now

i want to use modules and curatings for

this so the first thing i need to do is

go into my project properties

go to general

and language standard flip this from 14

to sequester latest

okay

now i'm going to create a new module

add to my source files a new module

this will create a cpus module interface

unit which you can see has the extension

ixx and we could call gonna call it x or

shift

all right this gives us a couple of

lines we have module x or shift which

says from here down everything belongs

to the module xor shift additionally

export this and make it available to

external code

then we have a single function called

myfunk

which is also exported

if we got rid of this then myfunk would

not be visible to external code this is

one of the benefits of modules apart

from improvements on build times

you can hide implementation details of

your code without having them leak into

contexts that you don't want them

but we don't want this we wanted

namespace launch

and if we want to export everything in

here we can just say export

okay so now we can think about

implementing xor shift

we want this

to be an infinite stream of random

numbers

uh but for now let's just implement it

as a single iteration of the algorithm

so we'll return a state unit

64 t

our function will be called x or shift

and we will take a unit

64 t as an argument

so unit 64 t is

in the ceased int header

just to show you something first say i

put it here

um

this might look fine but

remember i said that modulex or shift

means everything below here belongs to

this module

hash include means just take everything

from this header and dump it into this

file so we're saying that everything in

here is going to get module linkage and

we're going to get some build issues

with that so this is actually wrong like

if we had an uh import of some module

here then this would all be fine modules

are dealt are designed to handle that

but for regular hash includes we want to

stick them up in what's called the the

global module fragment which we

introduced like this just something to

be aware of okay so

the intellisense found this and we're

all good to go

so we can implement

xor shift like so we take our seed we

xor it with the result of right shifting

by thirteen

then left shifting by seventeen and then

right shifting by seven

uh

the very definition of ra of uh magic

numbers

don't ask me how they got these and then

we return the seed okay so this is a

single iteration of the exoshift

algorithm

but we wanted this to be infinite uh

unfortunately i don't have infinite

memory on this laptop so we're gonna

have to generate these on the fly and

one way we can do that is using core

routines

so coroutines are essentially a

generalization of a subroutine or

regular function a subroutine will enter

up here at the top it will exit at

return statements or

flowing off the end of control flow

one entry

some exit point

a core routine instead can

pause or suspend during execution and

then be resumed later

and one of the ways to do that is using

co yield which generally means

pause execution

send this back to the caller

and then we can be resumed later

so we're going to stick this in an

infinite loop

and now we're getting build errors

because we haven't included creatine

traits

but

there's something more here core yield

doesn't actually have built-in behavior

you have to kind of tell the compiler

what could mean for this specific core

routine and the way you do that is

customizing the return type here so we

want like a kind of python style

generator here unfortunately there's no

generator type in the standard library

for c plus plus 20. uh there should be

in c 23

but we could use a an open source

implementation i have one myself called

tl

generator but if we try this we get

build errors because i don't have tl

generator installed it's open source so

i could use vc package for it

i do have vc package installed on this

system

so i could just install tl generator

from the command line but i want to show

you

manifest files

so manifest file

is kind of similar to like if you've

used npm for javascript or cargo for

rust where we declaratively

say things about our dependencies and

our package so we have a name i'm going

to call it launch we have a version

string

i'm going to do 1.0

and then we have dependencies and this

is a list of dependencies you could

actually put versions here or minimum

versions there's a bunch you can do but

for now i'm just going to say tl

generator and there's a package or a

port in vc package which tells it how to

download and build and install this

library

so if i save this to

the root of my directory in

vcpackage.json

and the last thing i need to do to get

this to work is to go to my project

properties

configuration vc package use vc package

manifest yes this will tell the build

system to pick up the manifest part

so now if i build my solution we should

see this happening and the first thing

which happens before bc package is ms

build scans the sources for module

dependencies so you do not have to tell

ms build the order in which your modules

have to be built it will work it out by

itself uh we don't have this for cmake

yet but we are working on it with

kitware

so after

the module dependencies were scanned

then vc package ran and you can see the

install tl generator

it will also installed a couple of

transitive dependencies which tl

generator has

and even used some cache binary packages

which i already had on my system

which is pretty handy it told us you

know if we're using cmake then we could

just copy paste these in edit them

slightly and then we got a bunch of

build errors because we haven't finished

yet

but that should be enough to come up

here and say include tl

and it found the installation this is a

local installation this is not going to

affect any other projects in our system

tl generator

and intelsense found

the file great

um so now we can go to launch

include that and then import

and there we go and uh intellisense

there found x or shift because it's

scanned for the dependencies it knows

what file it's in

so we can import x or shift and now

uh intellisense worked out this type and

everything's fine

so

we could run this it would give us an

infinite stream of random numbers um

let's say we want to

reduce this infinite stream of random

numbers a little bit say we want

them to be in the range of 0 to 100 how

could we do that

well one way would be with ranges

so we could say hash include ranges and

ranges are a way of essentially building

up a pipeline of operations on ranges of

data

one way we can do that is saying

uh pipe this this is kind of like a unix

pipe like a bash style pipe

pipe this into stood views colon colon

and

now we get a list of all of the view

adapters in the standard library which

are available to us and you could use

your own or other ones which were open

source

uh one thing to note is

um if you used range v3 the precursor to

all of this and an older version of vs

then you probably find that intellisense

really really struggled we've done a lot

of work on this you saw that that was

pretty much instantaneous so if i say i

want to transform it then intellisense

works says okay you need a function here

um so we're gonna pass it

a lambda

which

returns i

mod 100 let's see

okay

so

now we can try running this and we

should get out an infinite stream of

random numbers

here we go from 1 to 100

great

now say we actually want to

change this slightly

and see it update in real time i talked

about hot reload earlier i have hot

reload on file save turned on so if i go

and change this to a larger number and

save

then it will recompile while it's

running and

we see the change immediately it's kind

of cool

but say

we don't want this to be infinite we

want this to be

to be bounded we could instead say pipe

this again into stood views take and

take the first five for instance

uh

and this

should print out there we go five random

numbers

uh a couple last things

um

the usual kind of navigation experience

you might expect for modules is all

there so if i

control click on the module the name

then it goes to the definition

let's say i want to stick a breakpoint

in here

this is a core routine so there's a

bunch of compiler magic which is going

on here like this is kind of changed

into a state machine and split up into

different functions

um but we make it all look like

it's just regular code so if we step

over this code yield

like in this time the

this co routine has been suspended and

then resumed but we make it look like

it's just

going on um

like a regular function we even have a

co-routine frame

visualizer in case you're writing your

own code routines so to recap we saw

modules with build system support and go

to modules we saw coroutines with

debugging support we saw ranges with

intellisense all working and we kind of

solve concepts concepts are what

underlie ranges so that's how we saw

those working

um to reiterate our the mission of our

team is to make the lives of all

siblings developers on the planet better

through standards through our tool chain

through vc package through our vs ide

and through the visual studio code

experience

if you'd like to know more about some of

these we do have a couple other talks

today one on game development and one on

cross-platform development so please do

check those out and other than that i do

hope you will go away and upgrade to vs

2022 and let us know what you think

thank you very much
