As part of my series of blog posts talking about VS 2010 and .NET FX 4, I want to focus on the work we are doing for the native developer as part of Visual C++.
In an earlier post, I mentioned how the Visual C++ team is investing heavily in enabling developers with large native applications to be successful on the Windows platform. As a part of that, we released the Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack earlier this year. Visual Studio 2010 continues down this path by focusing on making native C++ developers more productive with significant enhancements to the overall IDE experience as well as improvements in the language and library space that further extend the power available to C++ developers.
Native C++ applications have been growing larger and more complex over the years. VS2010 makes C++ developers more productive by scaling better when working with larger codebases. One of the key areas where we are making significant improvements is IntelliSense. The IntelliSense engine, which powers the majority of the IDE features, received a major architectural overhaul with a sharp focus on eliminating inefficiencies that surface when dealing with large codebases. A prime example of this is that the IDE remains responsive even while editing source files in very large codebases. Source edits no longer trigger massive updates of the symbol database even with the most complex source dependencies. Visual C++ developers who often edit header files deep down in the include hierarchy or switch project configurations will notice the huge improvement in IDE responsiveness.
