Be concise and clear. +* Talk like a person. +* Simpler is better. +* Be brief. Give customers just enough information to make decisions confidently. Prune excess words. +* Break up long sentences. +* Follow the style of the [Microsoft Writing Style Guide](https://learn.microsoft.com/style-guide/welcome/). If there's a conflict between the following guidelines and the Microsoft Writing Style Guide, ask how to resolve it. + +## Grammar + +* Use present tense verbs (is, open) instead of past tense (was, opened). For example, "The method returns a value" instead of "The method will return a value." +* Write factual statements and direct commands. Avoid hypotheticals. +* Use active voice where the subject performs the action. +* Write in second person (you) to speak directly to readers. +* Use gender-neutral language. +* Avoid multiple -ing words that could create ambiguity. +* Keep prepositional phrases simple and clear. +* Place modifiers close to what they modify. +* Use a conversational tone with contractions. +* Don't use "we" or "our" to refer to the authors of the documentation. +* Use the imperative mood for instructions. For example, "Call the method" instead of "You should call the method." +* Use "might" instead of "may" to indicate possibility. For example, "This method might throw an exception" instead of "This method may throw an exception." +* Use the Oxford comma in lists of three or more items. + +## Capitalization + +* Use sentence-style capitalization for everything except proper nouns. +* Always capitalize proper nouns. +* Don’t capitalize the spelled-out form of an acronym unless it's a proper noun. +* Use title-style capitalization for product and service names. +* Don't use all uppercase for emphasis. + +## Numbers + +* Spell out numbers for zero through nine, unless space is limited. Use numerals for 10 and above. +* Spell out numbers at the beginning of a sentence. +* Spell out ordinal numbers such as first, second, and third. Don't add -ly to form adverbs from ordinal numbers. +* Number ordered list items all as "1." instead of "1.", "2.", etc. Use bullets for unordered lists. + +## Punctuation + +* Use short, simple sentences. +* End all sentences with a period. +* Use one space after punctuation marks. +* After a colon, capitalize only proper nouns. +* Avoid semicolons - use separate sentences instead. +* Use question marks sparingly. +* Don't use slashes (/) - use "or" instead. + +## Text formatting + +* UI elements, like menu items, dialog names, and names of text boxes, should be in **bold** text. +* Use `code style` for: + * Code elements, like method names, property names, and language keywords. + * SQL commands. + * NuGet package names. + * Command-line commands. + * Database table and column names. + * Resource names (like virtual machine names) that shouldn't be localized. + * URLs that you don't want to be selectable. + * File names and folders, custom types, and other text that should never be localized. +* For code placeholders, if you want users to replace part of an input string with their own values, use angle brackets (less than < and greater than > characters) on that placeholder text. + +## Headings + +* Headings should be in sentence case, not title case. Don't use gerunds in titles. +* Don't apply an inline style like italic, or bold to headings. But do use inline code style for headings that are code elements, like method names or property names. + +## Alerts + +* Alerts are a Markdown extension to create block quotes that render with colors and icons that indicate the significance of the content. The following alert types are supported: + + * `[!NOTE]` Information the user should notice even if skimming. + * `[!TIP]` Optional information to help a user be more successful. + * `[!IMPORTANT]` Essential information required for user success. + * `[!CAUTION]` Negative potential consequences of an action. + * `[!WARNING]` Dangerous certain consequences of an action. + +## Adding links + +* Add links to related topics and resources where appropriate. +* Links to other documentation articles should be relative, not absolute. Start relative links with `/docs/` and include the `.md` suffix. If you add a link to another page on learn.microsoft.com that's not in this repo, remove https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us from the link. +* Links to bookmarks within the same article should be relative and start with `#`. +* Link descriptions should be descriptive and make sense on their own. Don't use "click here" or "this link" or "here". +* When you are going to refer to another file or an article on the web, use this format: "For more information, see [descriptive name of link](link path)." The exception to this is the See Also links at the end of an article. Those should be markdown links and contain the title of the article you link to as the descriptive portion of the link. + +## Adding new files + +* If you add a new Markdown file, it should be named in all lowercase with hyphens separating words. Also, omit any filler words such as "the" or "a" from the file name. +* If you're adding a new Markdown file, the following indicates where it should go the folder structure. If you aren't sure, ask. + If the new file is about Linux, put it in the docs/linux folder. + If the new file is about the C++ Standard Template Library (STL), put it in the docs/standard-library folder. + If the new file is about the C runtime, put it in the docs/c-runtime-library folder. + If the new file is about the C++ language, put it in the docs/cpp folder. + If the new file is about a C++ feature specific to the Visual Studio IDE, put it in the docs/ide folder. + If the new file is about the build process or modules, put it in the docs/build\reference folder. + If the new file is about Build Insights, put it in the docs/build-insights folder. + +## Images + +* Use images only when they add value. +* Images have a descriptive and meaningful alt text that starts with "Screenshot showing" and ends with ".". +* Videos have a descriptive and meaningful alt text or title that starts with "Video showing" and ends with ".". + +## Numbered steps + +* Write complete sentences with capitalization and periods +* Use imperative verbs +* Clearly indicate where actions take place (UI location) +* For single steps, use a bullet instead of a number +* When allowed, use angle brackets for menu sequences (File > Open) + +## Terminology + +* Use "Select" instead of "Click" for UI elements like buttons, menu items, links, dropdowns, and checkboxes. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/.gitignore b/.gitignore index 50628e8f13..10b0192bf5 100644 --- a/.gitignore +++ b/.gitignore @@ -7,7 +7,7 @@ _themes.MSDN.Modern/ _themes.VS.Modern/ # Ignore local configuration changes -.github/ +#.github/ .openpublishing.buildcore.ps1 .vscode/ diff --git a/.markdownlint.json b/.markdownlint.json index ce59de63f1..721f62cf28 100644 --- a/.markdownlint.json +++ b/.markdownlint.json @@ -2,6 +2,7 @@ "default": true, "DOCSMD006": false, "MD001": false, + "MD004": false, "MD013": false, "MD024": { "siblings_only": true diff --git a/.openpublishing.build.ps1 b/.openpublishing.build.ps1 deleted file mode 100644 index aadef76202..0000000000 --- a/.openpublishing.build.ps1 +++ /dev/null @@ -1,17 +0,0 @@ -param( -

The **`REP`**, **`REPE`**, **`REPZ`**, **`REPNE`**, and **`REPNZ`** keywords are used with string instructions to do `memcpy` or `strlen` kinds of operations in a single instruction. The **`LOCK`** keyword makes certain operations on memory operands atomic. You can combine it with the **`XACQUIRE`** and **`XRELEASE`** keywords to do Hardware Lock Elision (HLE) on supported processors, which allows greater transactional parallelism in certain cases. + +The remaining prefixes control how AVX instructions are encoded. AVX instructions are encoded using a **`VEX`** prefix, which appears before the opcode. It takes the place of certain byte instruction prefixes and opcode lead-in bytes. Many AVX instructions are also AVX-512 instructions, which are encoded using an **`EVEX`** prefix that supports [more options](#avx-512-options). MASM tries to encode instructions as compactly as possible, but these keywords allow more control over which encoding to use with a particular instruction. They're also used to force generation of AVX instruction forms that were introduced after the corresponding AVX-512 instruction. For example, `vex vpdpbusd` specifies the AVX-VNNI form of the `VPDPBUSD` instructions rather than the AVX512-VNNI form. When an AVX instruction appears without an explicit prefix keyword, the encoding chosen depends on the current AVX encoding setting. The [`OPTION AVXENCODING`](option-avxencoding-masm.md) directive lets you change this setting. + +The **`VEX2`**, **`VEX3`**, **`VEX`**, and **`EVEX`** options are available in Visual Studio 2019 version 16.7 and later. + +| Keyword | Usage | +|--|--| +| **`REP`** | Repeat the string operation by the count in (E)CX. | +| **`REPE`**

Rather than relying on instruction prefix bytes and opcode lead-in bytes to select an instruction, they use a single multi-byte prefix. This prefix can encode an additional register operand. In 64-bit mode, it also has bits to select registers 8 through 15 for the other operands, and a REX prefix isn't needed. + +Three different multi-byte prefixes are used. AVX instructions can be encoded with a 3-byte VEX prefix, where the second and third bytes help to select the specific operation executed. If some of the fields in the 3-byte VEX prefix have specific values, a 2-byte form of the VEX prefix can be used instead. Finally, some AVX instructions also have an AVX-512 form, which is encoded with a 4-byte EVEX prefix. The EVEX prefix has an additional fields to select 512-bit vector length and other options specific to AVX-512 instructions. + +Because some AVX instructions might be encoded in up to three different ways, there are rules to select which form to use. The **`OPTION AVXENCODING`** directive is used to select which set of rules to use. + +## Preferences + +| Preference | Encoding preference priority | +|--|--| +| **`PREFER_FIRST`** | Use first defined form if possible. | +| **`PREFER_VEX`** | Use `VEX` encoding in preference to `EVEX` encoding. | +| **`PREFER_VEX3`** | Use 3-byte `VEX` encoding in preference to `EVEX` encoding. | +| **`PREFER_EVEX`** | Use `EVEX` encoding in preference to `VEX` encoding. | +| **`NO_EVEX`** | Don't encode using `EVEX`. | + +The AVXENCODING order applies only if the instruction prefix form isn't specified for the instruction. If the instruction prefix is explicitly coded, it takes precedence over the **`AVXENCODING`** option. For example, `evex vpmaddwd` will use **`EVEX`**-prefixed `VPMADDWD` even if `OPTION AVXENCODING:no_EVEX` is specified. + +If an assembly source doesn't use `OPTION AVXENCODING` to select encoding preferences, the **`PREFER_FIRST`** rules are used by default. By these rules, the earliest instruction encodings added to Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) have precedence, and among those possibilities the encoding with the shortest prefix form is preferred. These rules ensure that code assembled by MASM still generates the same object code if new instruction forms are added later. + +The **`PREFER_VEX`** rules always tries to encode with a **`VEX`** prefix before trying to encode with **`EVEX`**. If possible, the 2-byte form of **`VEX`** is used instead of the 3-byte form. + +The **`PREFER_VEX3`** preference always tries to encode with a 3-byte **`VEX`** prefix before trying to encode with **`EVEX`**. The 2-byte form of **`VEX`** won't be used. + +The **`PREFER_EVEX`** option always tries to encode with an **`EVEX`** prefix, and only tries to use **`VEX`** if the instruction has no AVX-512 form. + +The **`NO_EVEX`** preference only tries to encode by using a **`VEX`** prefix. No AVX-512 instruction forms are allowed. This option lets you assemble code for use on platforms that have no AVX-512 support at all. + +The **`OPTION AVXENCODING`** directive is available in Visual Studio 2019 version 16.7 and later. + +### Example + +This example uses `VPDPBUSD` and `VPMADDWD` instructions to illustrate how the **`AVXENCODING`** option works. `VPDPBUSD` was first defined to be encoded only with `EVEX`, and was later extended with a VEX-encoded form for platforms without AVX-512 support, while `VPMADDWD` was AVX and extended to AVX-512. The listing output from assembling the example shows how changing the **`AVXENCODING`** mode affects the object code generated for each instruction.

The class also provides constructors and operators for constructing, assigning, and comparing `CString`s and standard C++ string data types. Because `CString` isn't derived from `CObject`, you can use `CString` objects independently of most of the Microsoft Foundation Class Library (MFC). `CString` objects follow "value semantics."

The control-hosting functions are listed in the table below. - -|Function|Description| -|--------------|-----------------| -|[AtlAxAttachControl](reference/composite-control-global-functions.md#atlaxattachcontrol)|Creates a host object, connects it to the supplied window, then attaches an existing control.| -|[AtlAxCreateControl](reference/composite-control-global-functions.md#atlaxcreatecontrol)|Creates a host object, connects it to the supplied window, then loads a control.| -|[AtlAxCreateControlLic](reference/composite-control-global-functions.md#atlaxcreatecontrollic)|Creates a licensed ActiveX control, initializes it, and hosts it in the specified window, similar to [AtlAxCreateControl](reference/composite-control-global-functions.md#atlaxcreatecontrol).| -|[AtlAxCreateControlEx](reference/composite-control-global-functions.md#atlaxcreatecontrolex)|Creates a host object, connects it to the supplied window, then loads a control (also allows event sinks to be set up).| -|[AtlAxCreateControlLicEx](reference/composite-control-global-functions.md#atlaxcreatecontrollicex)|Creates a licensed ActiveX control, initializes it, and hosts it in the specified window, similar to [AtlAxCreateControlLic](reference/composite-control-global-functions.md#atlaxcreatecontrollic).| -|[AtlAxCreateDialog](reference/composite-control-global-functions.md#atlaxcreatedialog)|Creates a modeless dialog box from a dialog resource and returns the window handle.| -|[AtlAxDialogBox](reference/composite-control-global-functions.md#atlaxdialogbox)|Creates a modal dialog box from a dialog resource.| -|[AtlAxGetControl](reference/composite-control-global-functions.md#atlaxgetcontrol)|Returns the **IUnknown** interface pointer of the control hosted in a window.| -|[AtlAxGetHost](reference/composite-control-global-functions.md#atlaxgethost)|Returns the **IUnknown** interface pointer of the host object connected to a window.| -|[AtlAxWinInit](reference/composite-control-global-functions.md#atlaxwininit)|Initializes the control-hosting code.| -|[AtlAxWinTerm](reference/composite-control-global-functions.md#atlaxwinterm)|Uninitializes the control-hosting code.| - -The `HWND` parameters in the first three functions must be an existing window of (almost) any type.

When you create an instance of this class, the window procedure will automatically use the control-hosting API to create a host object associated with the window and load it with the control that you specify as the title of the window. - -## When Do I Need to Call AtlAxWinInit? - -[AtlAxWinInit](reference/composite-control-global-functions.md#atlaxwininit) registers the **"AtlAxWin80"** window class (plus a couple of custom window messages) so this function must be called before you try to create a host window. However, you don't always need to call this function explicitly, since the hosting APIs (and the classes that use them) often call this function for you. There is no harm in calling this function more than once. - -## What Is a Host Object? - -A host object is a COM object that represents the ActiveX control container supplied by ATL for a particular window. The host object subclasses the container window so that it can reflect messages to the control, it provides the necessary container interfaces to be used by the control, and it exposes the [IAxWinHostWindow](../atl/reference/iaxwinhostwindow-interface.md) and [IAxWinAmbientDispatch](../atl/reference/iaxwinambientdispatch-interface.md) interfaces to allow you to configure the environment of the control. - -You can use the host object to set the ambient properties of the container. - -## Can I Host More Than One Control in a Single Window? - -It is not possible to host more than one control in a single ATL host window. Each host window is designed to hold exactly one control at a time (this allows for a simple mechanism for handling message reflection and per-control ambient properties). However, if you need the user to see multiple controls in a single window, it's a simple matter to create multiple host windows as children of that window. - -## Can I Reuse a Host Window? - -It is not recommended that you reuse host windows. To ensure the robustness of your code, you should tie the lifetime of your host window to the lifetime of a single control. - -## When Do I Need to Call AtlAxWinTerm? - -[AtlAxWinTerm](reference/composite-control-global-functions.md#atlaxwinterm) unregisters the **"AtlAxWin80"** window class. You should call this function (if you no longer need to create host windows) after all existing host windows have been destroyed. If you don't call this function, the window class will be unregistered automatically when the process terminates. - -## Hosting ActiveX Controls Using ATL AXHost - -The sample in this section shows how to create AXHost and how to host an ActiveX control using various ATL functions. It also shows how to access the control and sink events (using [IDispEventImpl](../atl/reference/idispeventimpl-class.md)) from the control that is hosted. The sample hosts the Calendar control in a main window or in a child window. - -Notice the definition of the `USE_METHOD` symbol. You can change the value of this symbol to vary between 1 and 8. The value of the symbol determines how the control will be created: - -- For even-numbered values of `USE_METHOD`, the call to create the host subclasses a window and converts it into a control host. For odd-numbered values, the code creates a child window that acts as a host. - -- For values of `USE_METHOD` between 1 and 4, access to the control and sinking of events are accomplished in the call that also creates the host.

This scaling gives a fixed-point number with 15 digits left of the decimal point and 4 digits to the right. The `CURRENCY` data type is useful for calculations involving money, or for any fixed-point calculations where accuracy is important. The `CComCurrency` wrapper implements arithmetic, assignment, and comparison operations for this fixed-point type. The supported applications have been selected to control the rounding errors that can occur during fixed-point calculations. -The `CComCurrency` object provides access to the numbers on either side of the decimal point in the form of two components: an integer component which stores the value to the left of the decimal point, and a fractional component which stores the value to the right of the decimal point. The fractional component is stored internally as an integer value between -9999 (CY_MIN_FRACTION) and +9999 (CY_MAX_FRACTION). The method [CComCurrency::GetFraction](#getfraction) returns a value scaled by a factor of 10000 (CY_SCALE). +The `CComCurrency` object provides access to the numbers on either side of the decimal point in the form of two components: an integer component, which stores the value to the left of the decimal point, and a fractional component, which stores the value to the right of the decimal point.

Many of the `CWindow` methods simply wrap one of the Win32 API functions.

Build Insights provides analytics such as **Functions** view, which helps diagnose expensive code generation during build time.

But there are many more instances (not all shown here) of `Vector2d::sin(float)`, `Vector2d::cos(float)`, `Vector2D::power(float,int)`, and `Vector2D::factorial(int)`. When you add those up, the total number of generated instructions quickly exceeds the few larger generated functions. + +Looking at those functions in the source code, we see that execution time is going to be spent inside loops.

Making a function inline is most beneficial when the time it takes to call the function (pushing arguments on the stack, jumping to the function, popping return arguments, and returning from the function) is roughly similar to the time it takes to execute the function, and when the function is called a lot. When that's not the case, there may be diminishing returns on making it inline. We can try removing the `__forceinline` directive from it to see if it helps the build time. The code for `power`, `sin()` and `cos()` is similar in that the code consists of a loop that will execute many times.

The canonical prologues and epilogues are designed to meet the common requirements of a simple function that does not require an exception handler, and performs its setup and teardown operations in a standard order. +For functions whose prologues and epilogues follow the canonical form described below, packed unwind data can be used. It eliminates the need for an `.xdata` record and significantly reduces the space required to provide the unwind data. The canonical prologues and epilogues are designed to meet the common requirements of a simple function that doesn't require an exception handler, and performs its setup and teardown operations in a standard order. This table shows the format of a `.pdata` record that has packed unwind data: -|Word Offset|Bits|Purpose| -|-----------------|----------|-------------| -|0|0-31|*`Function Start RVA`* is the 32-bit RVA of the start of the function.

- 00 = packed unwind data not used; remaining bits point to `.xdata` record.
- 01 = packed unwind data.
- 10 = packed unwind data where the function is assumed to have no prologue. This is useful for describing function fragments that are discontiguous with the start of the function.
- 11 = reserved.| -|1|2-12|*`Function Length`* is an 11-bit field that provides the length of the entire function in bytes divided by 2. If the function is larger than 4K bytes, a full `.xdata` record must be used instead.| -|1|13-14|*`Ret`* is a 2-bit field that indicates how the function returns:

- 00 = return via pop {pc} (the *`L`* flag bit must be set to 1 in this case).
- 01 = return by using a 16-bit branch.
- 10 = return by using a 32-bit branch.
- 11 = no epilogue at all. This is useful for describing a discontiguous function fragment that may only contain a prologue, but whose epilogue is elsewhere.| -|1|15|*`H`* is a 1-bit flag that indicates whether the function "homes" the integer parameter registers (r0-r3) by pushing them at the start of the function, and deallocates the 16 bytes of stack before returning. (0 = does not home registers, 1 = homes registers.)| -|1|16-18|*`Reg`* is a 3-bit field that indicates the index of the last saved non-volatile register.

However, for `alloca` functions, it must be chained, and `x29` must point to the bottom of stack.

There are two types: *entry thunks* for entering ARM64EC functions and *exit thunks* for calling x64 functions. + +### Entry thunk and intrinsic entry thunks: x64 to ARM64EC function call + +To support x64 callers when a C/C++ function is compiled as ARM64EC, the toolchain generates a single entry thunk consisting of ARM64EC machine code. Intrinsics have an entry thunk of their own. All other functions share an entry thunk with all functions that have a matching calling convention, parameters, and return type. The content of the thunk depends on the calling convention of the C/C++ function. + +In addition to handling parameters and the return address, the thunk bridges the differences in volatility between ARM64EC and x64 vector registers caused by [ARM64EC vector register mapping](#register-mapping-for-vector-registers): + +| ARM64EC register | x64 register | ARM64EC calling convention | ARM64 calling convention | x64 calling convention | +|--|--|--|--|--| +| `v6`-`v15` | `xmm6`-`xmm15` | volatile, but saved/restored in the entry thunk (x64 to ARM64EC) | volatile or partially volatile upper 64 bits | non-volatile | + +The entry thunk performs the following actions: + +| Parameter number | Stack usage | +|--|--| +| 0-4 | Stores ARM64EC `v6` and `v7` into the caller-allocated home space

Since the callee is ARM64EC, which doesn't have the notion of a home space, the stored values aren't clobbered.

After the function returns, the thunk: + +1. Undoes any stack allocations +1. Calls the `__os_arm64x_dispatch_ret` emulator helper to pop the x64 return address and resume x64 emulation. + +### Exit thunk: ARM64EC to x64 function call + +For every call that an ARM64EC C/C++ function makes to potential x64 code, the MSVC toolchain generates an exit thunk. The content of the thunk depends on the parameters of the x64 callee and whether the callee is using the standard calling convention or `__vectorcall`. The compiler obtains this information from a function declaration for the callee. + +First, The thunk pushes the return address that's in the ARM64EC `lr` register and a dummy 8-byte value to guarantee that the stack is aligned to 16 bytes. Second, the thunk handles the parameters: + +| Parameter number | Stack usage | +|--|--| +| 0-4 | Allocates 32 bytes of home space on the stack | +| 5-8 | Allocates `AlignUp(NumParams - 4, 2) * 8` more bytes higher up on the stack. \*

The call must be a `blr x16` instruction (conveniently, `x16` is a volatile register). A `blr x16` instruction is required because the x64 emulator parses this instruction as a hint. + +The x64 function usually attempts to return to the emulator helper by using an x64 `ret` instruction. At this point, the x64 emulator detects that it's in ARM64EC code. It then reads the preceding 4-byte hint that happens to be the ARM64 `blr x16` instruction. Since this hint indicates that the return address is in this helper, the emulator jumps directly to this address. + +The x64 function is permitted to return to the emulator helper using any branch instruction, including x64 `jmp` and `call`. The emulator handles these scenarios as well. + +When the helper then returns to the thunk, the thunk: + +1. Undoes any stack allocation +1. Pops the ARM64EC `lr` register +1. Executes an ARM64 `ret lr` instruction. + +## ARM64EC function name decoration + +An ARM64EC function name has a secondary decoration applied after any language-specific decoration. For functions with C linkage (whether compiled as C or by using `extern "C"`), a `#` is prepended to the name. For C++ decorated functions, a `$$h` tag is inserted into the name. + +``` +foo => #foo +?foo@@YAHXZ => ?foo@@$$hYAHXZ +``` + +## `__vectorcall` + +The ARM64EC toolchain currently doesn't support `__vectorcall`.

A program can safely rely on implementation-defined behavior, even though doing so might not be portable. Examples of implementation-defined behavior include the sizes of built-in data types and their alignment requirements. An example of an operation that might be affected by implementation-defined behavior is accessing the variable arguments list. -*Unspecified behavior* is behavior that the C++ standard leaves intentionally non-deterministic. Although the behavior is considered non-deterministic, particular invocations of unspecified behavior are determined by the compiler implementation. However, there is no requirement for a compiler vendor to predetermine the result or guarantee consistent behavior between comparable invocations, and there is no requirement for documentation. An example of unspecified behavior is the order in which sub-expressions, which include arguments to a function call, are evaluated. +*Unspecified behavior* is behavior that the C++ standard leaves intentionally nondeterministic.

This is the fastest and most robust way to consume the standard library. + +To help you sort out the different options, this article compares the traditional `#include` method against precompiled headers, header units, and importing named modules. + +The following table is arranged by compiler processing speed and robustness, with `#include` being the slowest and least robust, and `import` being the fastest and most robust. + +| Method | Summary | +|---|---| +| `#include` | One disadvantage is that they expose macros and internal implementation. Internal implementation is often exposed as functions and types that start with an underscore. That's a convention to indicate that something is part of the internal implementation and shouldn't be used.

Header files are fragile because the order of #includes can modify behavior or break code and are affected by macro definitions.

Header files slow compilation. Particularly when multiple files include the same file because then the header file is reprocessed multiple times. | +| [Precompiled header](../build/creating-precompiled-header-files.md) | A precompiled header (PCH) improves compile time by creating a compiler memory snapshot of a set of header files. This is an improvement on repeatedly rebuilding header files.

PCH files have restrictions that make them difficult to maintain.

PCH files are faster than `#include` but slower than `import`.| +| [Header units](../build/walkthrough-header-units.md) | This is a new feature in C++20 that allows you to import 'well-behaved' header files as modules.

Header units are faster than `#include`, and are easier to maintain, significantly smaller, and also faster than pre-compiled header files (PCH).

Header units are an 'in-between' step meant to help transition to named modules in cases where you rely on macros defined in header files, since named modules don't expose macros.

Header units are slower than importing a named module.

Header units aren't affected by macro defines unless they're specified on the command line when the header unit is built--making them more robust than header files.

Header units expose the macros and internal implementation defined in them just as header file do, which named modules don't.

As a rough approximation of file size, a 250-megabyte PCH file might be represented by an 80-megabyte header unit file. | +| [Modules](../cpp/modules-cpp.md) | This is the fastest and most robust way to import functionality.

Support for importing modules was introduced in C++20. The C++23 standard library introduces the two named modules described in this topic.

When you import `std`, you get the standard names such as `std::vector`, `std::cout`, but no extensions, no internal helpers such as `_Sort_unchecked`, and no macros.

The order of imports doesn't matter because there are no macro or other side-effects.

As a rough approximation of file size, a 250-megabyte PCH file might be represented by an 80-megabyte header unit file, which might be represented by a 25-megabyte module.

Named modules are faster because when a named module is compiled into an `.ifc` file and an `.obj` file, the compiler emits a structured representation of the source code that can be loaded quickly when the module is imported. The compiler can do some work (like name resolution) before emitting the `.ifc` file because of how named modules are order-independent and macro-independent--so this work doesn't have to be done when the module is imported. In contrast, when a header file is consumed with `#include`, its contents must be preprocessed and compiled again and again in every translation unit.

Precompiled headers, which are compiler memory snapshots, can mitigate those costs, but not as well as named modules. | + +If you can use C++20 features and the C++23 standard library in your app, use named modules. + +If you can use C++20 features but want to transition over time to modules, use header units in the interim. + +If you can't use C++20 features, use `#include` and consider precompiled headers. + +## See also + +[Precompiled header files](creating-precompiled-header-files.md)\ +[Overview of modules in C++](../cpp/modules-cpp.md)\ +[Tutorial: Import the C++ standard library using modules](../cpp/tutorial-import-stl-named-module.md)\ +[Walkthrough: Import STL libraries as header units](walkthrough-import-stl-header-units.md#approach1)\ +[Walkthrough: Build and import header units in your Visual C++ projects](walkthrough-header-units.md) \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/docs/build/configure-cmake-debugging-sessions.md b/docs/build/configure-cmake-debugging-sessions.md index 873a377928..896d5a3bf4 100644 --- a/docs/build/configure-cmake-debugging-sessions.md +++ b/docs/build/configure-cmake-debugging-sessions.md @@ -1,14 +1,14 @@ --- title: "Configure CMake debugging sessions in Visual Studio" description: "Describes how to use Visual Studio to configure CMake debugger settings." -ms.date: 12/16/2020 +ms.date: 10/26/2023 helpviewer_keywords: ["CMake debugging"] --- # Configure CMake debugging sessions ::: moniker range="msvc-140" -Native CMake support is available in Visual Studio 2017 and later.

Be sure to specify an environment consistent with the previous one (using consistent compiler options, pragmas, and so on) for the current compilation. If the compiler detects an inconsistency, it issues a warning and identifies the inconsistency where possible. Such warnings don't necessarily indicate a problem with the PCH file; they simply warn you of possible conflicts. The following sections explain the consistency requirements for precompiled headers. -### Compiler Option Consistency +### Compiler option consistency This table lists compiler options that might trigger an inconsistency warning when using a precompiled header: -|Option|Name|Rule| -|------------|----------|----------| -|/D|Define constants and macros|Must be the same between the compilation that created the precompiled header and the current compilation.

It also creates the external manifest file MyApp.exe.manifest, for use by the operating system to load dependent assemblies at runtime. - -The nmake script for MyLibrary.dll looks very similar: - -``` -# build MyLibrary.dll -!if "$(DEBUG)" == "1" -CPPFLAGS=$(CPPFLAGS) /MDd -LFLAGS=$(LFLAGS) /DLL /INCREMENTAL - -!else -CPPFLAGS=$(CPPFLAGS) /MD -LFLAGS=$(LFLAGS) /DLL - -!endif - -MyLibrary.dll : MyLibrary.obj - link $** /out:$@ $(LFLAGS) - -MyLibrary.obj : MyLibrary.cpp - -clean : - del MyLibrary.obj MyLibrary.dll -``` - -## Makefiles (After) - -To build with embedded manifests you have to make four small changes to the original makefiles. For the MyApp.exe makefile: - -``` -# build MyApp.exe -!include makefile.inc -#^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Change #1. (Add full path if necessary.) - -!if "$(DEBUG)" == "1" -CPPFLAGS=$(CPPFLAGS) /MDd -LFLAGS=$(LFLAGS) /INCREMENTAL -!else -CPPFLAGS=$(CPPFLAGS) /MD -!endif - -MyApp.exe : MyApp.obj - link $** /out:$@ $(LFLAGS) - $(_VC_MANIFEST_EMBED_EXE) -#^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Change #2 - -MyApp.obj : MyApp.cpp - -clean : - del MyApp.obj MyApp.exe - $(_VC_MANIFEST_CLEAN) -#^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Change #3 - -!include makefile.targ.inc -#^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Change #4.

To determine which of your local libraries are out-of-date, use **`vcpkg update`**. When you're ready to update your ports collection to the latest version of the public catalog, run the **`vcpkg upgrade`** command. It automatically downloads and rebuilds any or all of your installed libraries that are out of date. - -By default, the **`vcpkg upgrade`** command only lists the libraries that are out of date; it doesn't upgrade them.

The linker collects assembly information stored in the object files and combines this information into a final manifest file. By default the linker will generate a file named *binary_name*.*extension*.manifest to describe the final binary. The linker does not embed a manifest file inside the binary and can only generate a manifest as an external file. There are several ways to embed a manifest inside the final binary, such as using the [Manifest Tool (mt.exe)](/windows/win32/sbscs/mt-exe) or compiling the manifest into a resource file. It is important to keep in mind that specific rules have to be followed when embedding a manifest inside the final binary to enable such features as incremental linking, signing, and edit and continue.

On the **Configuration Properties** tab, click **Linker**, then **Manifest File**, then **Generate Manifest**. By default the project properties of new projects are set to generate a manifest file. However it is possible to disable generation of the manifest for a project using the **Generate Manifest** property of the project. When this property is set to **Yes**, the manifest for this project is generated. Otherwise the linker ignores assembly information when resolving dependencies of the application code, and does not generate the manifest. - -The build system in Visual Studio allows the manifest to be embedded in the final binary application file, or generated as an external file. This behavior is controlled by the **Embed Manifest** option in the **Project Properties** dialog. To set this property, open the **Manifest Tool** node, then select **Input and Output**. If the manifest is not embedded, it is generated as an external file and saved in the same directory as the final binary. If the manifest is embedded, Visual Studio embeds the final manifests using the following process: - -1. After the source code is compiled to object files, the linker collects dependent assembly information. While linking the final binary, the linker generates an intermediate manifest that is used later to generate the final manifest. - -1. After the intermediate manifest and linking are finished, the manifest tool will be executed to merge a final manifest and save it as an external file. - -1. The project build system then detects whether the manifest generated by the manifest tool contains different information than the manifest already embedded in the binary. - -1. If the manifest embedded in the binary is different from the manifest generated by the manifest tool, or the binary does not contain an embedded manifest, Visual Studio will invoke the linker one more time to embed the external manifest file inside the binary as a resource. - -1. If the manifest embedded in the binary is the same as the manifest generated by the manifest tool, the build will continue to the next build steps. - -The manifest is embedded inside the final binary as a text resource and it can be viewed by opening the final binary as a file in Visual Studio. To ensure that the manifest points to the correct libraries, follow the steps described in [Understanding the Dependencies of a Visual C++ Application](../windows/understanding-the-dependencies-of-a-visual-cpp-application.md) or follow the suggestions described in the [Troubleshooting](troubleshooting-c-cpp-isolated-applications-and-side-by-side-assemblies.md) section. - -## See also - -[Understanding Manifest Generation for C/C++

A trailing semicolon isn't needed. You can use an absolute file path for an extension, or specify a relative path from the directory that contains `EspXEngine.dll`. + +The `EspXEngine.dll` plug-in uses `ConcurrencyCheck.dll` to implement concurrency-related code analysis checks.

Use the **`/external:I`**, **`/external:env`**, or **`/external:anglebrackets`** options to specify directories as "external" directories. Any files that are included by using `#include` from an external directory or its subdirectories are considered as external headers. For more information, see [`/external` (External headers diagnostics)](external-external-headers-diagnostics.md). + +Code analysis provides these options to control analysis of external files: + +**`/analyze:external-`**\ +Skips analysis of external header files. By default, code analysis analyzes external header files just like other files. When the **`/analyze:external-`** option is set, code analysis skips any files specified as external, except templates from external files. Templates defined in external headers are treated as non-external by using the **`/external:templates-`** option. The **`/external:Wn`** option doesn't affect code analysis. For example, code analysis analyzes external files and reports defects even when `/external:W0` is specified. + +**`/analyze:external:ruleset`** *`ruleset_files`*\ +The *`ruleset_files`* parameter specifies one or more semicolon-delimited ruleset files to use for analysis of external files. For information on rulesets, refer to "Options for rulesets" section. + +There's an environment variable (`CAExcludePath`) that provides similar but simpler capability to skip analysis of files under the directories specified in the environment variable.

When the *`log_path`* path has a trailing backslash and refers to an existing directory, code analysis creates all log files in the specified directory. Otherwise, *`log_path`* specifies a file path. A file path instructs the compiler to combine logs for all analyzed source files into the specified log file.

Macros that are marked "migrated" can be updated by the project migration tool. If the project that contains the macro is migrated from Visual Studio 2008 or earlier to Visual Studio 2010, Visual Studio converts the macro to the equivalent current macro. Later versions of Visual Studio can't convert projects from Visual Studio 2008 and earlier to the new project type. You must convert these projects in two steps; first convert them to Visual Studio 2010, and then convert the result to your newer version of Visual Studio.

A *decorated name* is an encoded string created by the compiler during compilation of an object, data, or function definition. It records calling conventions, types, function parameters and other information together with the name. This name decoration, also known as *name mangling*, helps the linker find the correct functions and objects when linking an executable. The decorated naming conventions have changed in various versions of Visual Studio, and can also be different on different target architectures. To link correctly with source files created by using Visual Studio, C and C++ DLLs and libraries should be compiled by using the same compiler toolset, flags, and target architecture. > [!NOTE] -> Libraries built with Visual Studio 2015 can be consumed by applications built with Visual Studio 2017 or Visual Studio 2019. +> Libraries built by Visual Studio 2015 or later can be consumed by applications built with later versions of Visual Studio through Visual Studio 2022.

It's useful for build systems that rely on environment variables such as `INCLUDE`, which you use to specify the list of external include files. Or, `CAExcludePath`, for files that shouldn't be analyzed by `/analyze`. For example, you can specify `/external:env:INCLUDE` to make every directory in `INCLUDE` an external header directory at once.

So, if you specify external headers, also use **`/external:Wn`** to specify an external warning level to change compiler behavior. + +All the existing mechanisms to enable, disable, and suppress warnings still work in both external and non-external files. For example, a [`warning` pragma](../../preprocessor/warning.md) can still override the default warning level you set for external headers. + +### Example: Set external warning level + +This sample program has two source files, *`program.cpp`* and *`header_file.h`*. The *`header_file.h`* file is in an *`include_dir`* subdirectory of the directory containing the *`program.cpp`* file: + +Source file `include_dir/header_file.h`: + +```cpp +// External header: include_dir/header_file.h + +template +struct sample_struct +{ + static const T value = -7; // W4: warning C4245: 'initializing': + // conversion from 'int' to 'unsigned int', signed/unsigned mismatch +}; +``` + +Source file `program.cpp`: + +```cpp +// User code: program.cpp +#include + +int main() +{ + return sample_struct().value; +} +``` + +You can build the sample by using this command line: + +```cmd +cl /EHsc /I include_dir /W4 program.cpp +``` + +As expected, this sample generates a warning: + +```Output +program.cpp +include_dir\header_file.h(6): warning C4245: 'initializing': conversion from 'int' to 'const T', signed/unsigned mismatch + with + [ + T=unsigned int + ] +program.cpp(6): note: see reference to class template instantiation 'sample_struct' being compiled +``` + +To treat the header file as an external file and suppress the warning, you can use this command line instead[\*](#note_experimental): + +```cmd +cl /EHsc /I include_dir /external:anglebrackets /external:W0 /W4 program.cpp +``` + +This command line suppresses the warning inside *`header_file.h`* while preserving warnings inside *`program.cpp`*. + +### Warnings across the internal and external boundary + +Setting a low warning level for external headers can hide some actionable warnings. In particular, it can turn off warnings emitted on template instantiations in user code. These warnings might indicate a problem in your code that only happens in instantiations for particular types. (For example, if you forgot to apply a type trait removing `const` or `&`.) To avoid silencing warnings inside templates defined in external headers, you can use the **`/external:templates-`** option. The compiler considers both the effective warning level in the file that defines the template, and the warning level where template instantiation occurs. Warnings emitted inside an external template appear if the template is instantiated within non-external code. For example, this command line re-enables warnings from template sources in the sample code[\*](#note_experimental): + +```cmd +cl /EHsc /I include_dir /external:anglebrackets /external:W0 /external:templates- /W4 program.cpp +``` + +The C4245 warning appears again in the output, even though the template code is inside an external header. + +### Enable, disable, or suppress warnings + +All the existing mechanisms to enable, disable, and suppress warnings still work in external headers. When a warning appears because you use the **`/external:templates-`** option, you can still suppress the warning at the point of instantiation. For example, to explicitly suppress the warning in the sample that reappears because of **`/external:templates-`**, use a `warning` pragma directive: + +```cpp +int main() +{ + #pragma warning( suppress : 4245) + return sample_struct().value; +} +``` + +Library writers can use the same mechanisms to enforce certain warnings, or all the warnings at certain level, if they feel those warnings should never be silenced by **`/external:Wn`**. For example, this version of the header file forces warning C4245 to report an error: + +```cpp +// External header: include_dir/header_file.h + +#pragma warning( push, 4 ) +#pragma warning( error : 4245 ) + +template +struct sample_struct +{ + static const T value = -7; // W4: warning C4245: 'initializing': conversion from 'int' + // to 'unsigned int', signed/unsigned mismatch +}; + +#pragma warning( pop ) +``` + +With this change to the library header, the author of the library ensures that the global warning level in this header is 4, no matter what gets specified in **`/external:Wn`**. Now all level 4 and above warnings are reported. The library author can also force certain warnings to be errors, disabled, suppressed, or emitted only once in the header. The **`/external`** options don't override that deliberate choice. + +### `system_header` pragma + +`#pragma system_header` is an intrusive marker that allows library writers to mark certain headers as external. A file containing `#pragma system_header` is considered external from the point of the pragma to the end of the file, as if it were specified as external on the command line. The compiler emits any diagnostics after the pragma at the warning level specified by **`/external:Wn`**.

The **`/fpcvt:BC`** option specifies the default behavior of Visual Studio 2022, which is the same as the behavior of Visual Studio 2017 and earlier versions. The **`/fpcvt:IA`** option specifies behavior compatible with Intel Architecture (IA) AVX-512 conversion instruction behavior. This option can be used with either 32-bit x86 or 64-bit x64 targets, and it applies whether [`/arch:AVX512`](arch-x86.md) is specified or not. + +For Visual Studio 2019, the default behavior for x64 targets is consistent with **`/fpcvt:BC`** unless **`/arch:AVX512`** is specified. Usually, the behavior for x86 targets is consistent with **`/fpcvt:IA`**, except under **`/arch:IA32`**, **`/arch:SSE`**, or sometimes where the result of a function call is directly converted to an unsigned integer. Use of **`/fpcvt`** overrides the default, so all conversions are handled consistently on either target. The behavior of conversions for ARM and ARM64 targets isn't consistent with either **`/fpcvt:BC`** or **`/fpcvt:IA`**. + +Standard C++ specifies that if a truncated floating-point value is exactly representable in an integer type, it must have that value when converted to that type. Otherwise, any behavior at all is allowed. Both **`/fpcvt`** options conform with Standard C++. The only difference is in what values are returned for invalid source values. + +The **`/fpcvt:IA`** option causes any invalid conversion to return a single *sentinel* value, which is the destination value farthest from zero. For conversion to signed types, the sentinel is the minimum value for that type. Unsigned types use the maximum value. Floating-point operations may return a Not-a-Number (NaN) value to indicate an invalid operation. That indicator isn't an option for conversion to integer types, which don't have NaN values. The sentinel is used as a proxy for a NaN value, although it can also be the result of a valid conversion. + +The **`/fpcvt:BC`** option also makes conversion to signed types return the minimum possible value when the source is invalid. However, conversion to unsigned integer types is based on conversion to **`long long`**. To convert a value to **`unsigned int`**, the compiler first converts it to type **`long long`**. The compiler then truncates the result to 32 bits. To convert a value to **`unsigned long long`**, valid source values that are too high for a **`long long`** are handled as a special case. All other values are first converted to **`long long`** and then recast to **`unsigned long long`**. + +The **`/fpcvt`** options are new in Visual Studio 2019 version 16.8. If you specify more than one **`/fpcvt`** option on the command line, the later option takes precedence and the compiler generates a warning. + +### Intrinsic functions for conversions + +You can specify the behavior of a specific conversion independently of the **`/fpcvt `** option, which applies globally. The compiler provides intrinsic sentinel conversion functions for conversions compatible with **`/fpcvt:IA`**. For more information, see [Sentinel conversion functions](../../intrinsics/sentinel-conversion-functions.md). The compiler also provides saturation conversion functions compatible with conversions on ARM or ARM64 target architectures. For more information, see [Saturation conversion functions](../../intrinsics/saturation-conversion-functions.md). + +The compiler also supports intrinsic conversion functions that execute as quickly as possible for valid conversions. These functions may generate any value or throw an exception for an invalid conversion. The results depend on the target platform, compiler options, and context.

For some Visual Studio 2019 project types, this property has moved to the [Advanced property page](./advanced-property-page.md). -## General +### Build Log File -- **Target Platform** +Allows you to specify a non-default location for the log file that's created whenever you build a project. The default location is specified by the macro combination `$(IntDir)$(MSBuildProjectName).log`. For some Visual Studio 2019 project types, this property has moved to the [Advanced property page](./advanced-property-page.md). - Specifies the platform that the project will run on. For example, Windows, Android, or iOS. The value **Windows 10** means the project targets the Universal Windows Platform. If you are targeting earlier versions of Windows, the version is not listed and the value in this field appears as just **Windows**. This is a read-only field that is set when you create a project. +You can use project macros to change the directory location. For more information, see [Common macros for build commands and properties](common-macros-for-build-commands-and-properties.md). -- **Target Platform Version (Visual Studio 2015)** +### Platform Toolset - Specifies the lowest version of the platform that the project can run on. This property appears only if the project type supports it. If your app can take advantage of features in a newer Windows SDK version, but can still run on earlier versions without those features, perhaps with some loss of functionality, then the value of these two properties might be different. If so, your code should check the version of the platform it is running against at runtime and not try to use features that aren't available in older platform version. +Specifies the toolset used for building the current configuration. This property allows the project to target a different version of the Visual C++ libraries and compiler. By default, Visual Studio C++ projects target the latest toolset installed by Visual Studio. You can choose one of the toolsets installed by several previous versions of Visual Studio instead. Some older toolsets can create executables that run on Windows XP or Vista. For more information on how to change the platform toolset, see [How to: Modify the target framework and platform toolset](../how-to-modify-the-target-framework-and-platform-toolset.md). - The C++ project system does not enforce this option. It is included for consistency with other languages, such as C# and JavaScript, and as a guide for anyone who uses your project. Visual C++ won't generate an error if you use a feature that is not available in the minimum version. +### Enable Managed Incremental Build -- **Windows SDK Version (Visual Studio 2017)** +For managed projects, this property enables detection of external visibility when you generate assemblies. If a change to a managed project isn't visible to other projects, then dependent projects don't get rebuilt. This option can dramatically improve build times in solutions that include managed projects. In Visual Studio 2019 projects, this property has moved to the [Advanced property page](./advanced-property-page.md). - For the Windows target platform, this specifies the version of the Windows SDK that your project requires. When you install a C++ Workload by using the Visual Studio installer, the required parts of the Windows SDK are also installed. If you have other Windows SDK versions on your computer, each version of the SDK tools that you have installed appears in the dropdown. +::: moniker range=">=msvc-160" - To target Windows 7 or Windows Vista, use the value **8.1**, since Windows SDK 8.1 is backward compatible to those platforms. In addition, you should define the appropriate value for **_WIN32_WINNT** in targetver.h. For Windows 7, that's 0x0601. See [Modifying WINVER and _WIN32_WINNT](../../porting/modifying-winver-and-win32-winnt.md). +### Configuration Type - You can install the Windows XP platform toolset included in Visual Studio to use the current version of the libraries to build Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server projects. For information on how to obtain and use this platform toolset, see [Configuring Programs for Windows XP](../configuring-programs-for-windows-xp.md). For additional information on changing the platform toolset, see [How to: Modify the Target Framework and Platform Toolset](../how-to-modify-the-target-framework-and-platform-toolset.md). +Specifies the project output and its required tools. In UWP projects, this property appears under the **Project Defaults** heading. There are several configuration types from which to choose, depending on your project type: -- **Output Directory** +#### Application (.exe) - Specifies the directory where tools such as the linker will place all final output files that are created during the build process. Typically, this includes the output of tools such as the linker, librarian, or BSCMake.

Files with extensions specified with this property will be deleted when **Clean** is run or when you perform a rebuild. In addition to files of these extensions in the intermediate directory, the build system will also delete any known output of the build regardless of where it is located (including intermediate outputs such as .obj files). Note that you can specify wildcard characters. +### C++ Language Standard - To programmatically access this property, see . +Specifies which C++ language standard to use. The default is **`/std:c++14`**. Specify **`/std:c++17`** to use C++17 features, **`/std:c++20`** to use C++20 features, and **`/std:c++latest`** to use proposed C++23 features or other experimental features. For more information, see [`/std` (Specify language standard version)](std-specify-language-standard-version.md). -- **Build Log File** +### C Language Standard - Allows you to specify a non-default location for the log file that is created whenever you build a project.

Header files that depend on macros that aren't defined on the command line, or that aren't defined in the header files included by the header, can't be translated to header units. + +If a header defines macros that affect whether other headers are included, it can't be safely translated. For example, given `a.h`, `b.h` and `macros.h`, which are all in the same directory: + +```cpp +// a.h + +#include "macros.h" // #defines MACRO=1 +#ifdef MACRO +#include "b.h" +#endif +``` + +The `header-units.json` in this directory can contain `a.h` and `b.h`, but not `macros.h`. The `header-units.json` for this example would be similar to this: + +```json +{ + "Version": "1.0", + "BuildAsHeaderUnits": [ + // macros.h should not be listed + "a.h", + "b.h" + ] +} +``` + +The reason `macros.h` can't be listed in this `header-units.json` file is that during the scan phase, the header unit (`.ifc`) might not be compiled yet for `macros.h`. In that case, `MACRO` won't be defined when `a.h` is compiled. That means `b.h` will be missing from the list of dependencies for `a.h`. Since it isn't in the list of dependencies, the build system won't build a header unit for `b.h` despite it being listed in the `header-units.json` file. + +To avoid this problem, when there's a dependency on a macro in another header file, the header file that defines the macro is excluded from the list of files that can be compiled into a header unit. This way the header file that defines the macro is treated as a normal `#include` and `MACRO` will be visible so that `b.h` is included and listed as one of the dependencies. + +### Preventing duplicated symbols + +The `header-units.json` file is also important because it allows for automatic header unit creation without duplicated symbols. It does this by creating "atomic" header units for the files listed in `header-units.json`. The imported header units don't contain duplicated symbols from the various `#include` directives that were processed while translating the header file. + +For example, consider two header files that both include a common header file. Both header files are included by the same source file: + +```cpp +// a.h +#include "b.h" + +// c.h +#include "b.h" + +// Source.cpp +import "a.h"; +import "c.h"; +``` + +If the compiler built header units for `a.h`, `b.h` and `c.h`, then the compiled header units `a.h.ifc`, `b.h.ifc`, and `c.h.ifc` would each contain all of the types from `b.h`. Compiling `Source.cpp`, which imports both `a.h` and `c.h`, would require the compiler to deduplicate the `b.h` types, which would impact build performance. + +But if there's a `header-units.json` in the `b.h` directory, and `/translateInclude` is specified, then the following happens: + +1. The scan of `a.h` and `c.h` lists `b.h` as a header unit import in the dependency scan files generated by the compiler. +1. The build system reads the dependency scan files and determines to build `b.h.ifc` first. +1. Then the build system adds `/headerUnit` for `b.h.ifc` to the command lines for compiling `a.h` and `c.h`. It calls the compiler to build the header units `a.h.ifc` and `c.h.ifc`. Because `/translateInclude` is specified, and `/headerUnit for b.h.ifc` is also specified, `a.h.ifc` and `c.h.ifc` won't contain `b.h` types, so there won't be any duplication in the produced header units. + +## Schema + +There's a `headerunits.json` file for the Standard Template Library (STL) headers. The build system uses it to determine whether to create a header unit for an STL header file, and for its dependencies. If the STL header file isn't on the list, it's treated as a normal `#include` instead of importing it as a header unit. + +You can see the `header-units.json` file under the installation directory for Visual Studio.

You can measure the build time with a physical clock, or you can use software that calculates the difference between when the build starts and stops. If your computer has multiple processors, a physical clock might yield more accurate results than a software time measurement. -### Effective Processors +### Effective processors A computer can have one or more virtual processors, which are also known as *effective processors*, for each of its physical processors. Each physical processor can have one or more cores, and if the operating system enables hyperthreading for a core, each core appears to be two virtual processors. For example, a computer has one effective processor if it has one physical processor that has one core, and hyperthreading is disabled. In contrast, a computer has eight effective processors if it has two physical processors, each of which has two cores, and all the cores have hyperthreading enabled. That is, (8 effective processors) = (2 physical processors) x (2 cores per physical processor) x (2 effective processors per core because of hyperthreading). -If you omit the *processMax* argument in the **/MP** option, the compiler obtains the number of effective processors from the operating system, and then creates one process per effective processor.

However, the compiler can't guarantee which process executes on a particular processor; the operating system makes that decision. -### Number of Processes +### Number of processes -The compiler calculates the number of processes that it will use to compile the source files. That value is the lesser of the number of source files that you specify on the command line, and the number of processes that you explicitly or implicitly specify with the **/MP** option. You can explicitly set the maximum number of processes if you provide the *processMax* argument of the **/MP** option. Or you can use the default, which is equal to the number of effective processors in a computer, if you omit the *processMax* argument. +The compiler calculates the number of processes that it will use to compile the source files.

Or you can use the default, which is equal to the number of effective processors in a computer, if you omit the *`processMax`* argument. For example, suppose you specify the following command line: `cl /MP7 a.cpp b.cpp c.cpp d.cpp e.cpp` -In this case the compiler uses five processes because that is the lesser of five source files and a maximum of seven processes. Alternatively, suppose your computer has two effective processors and you specify the following command line: +In this case, the compiler uses five processes because that is the lesser of five source files and a maximum of seven processes. Alternatively, suppose your computer has two effective processors and you specify the following command line: `cl /MP a.cpp b.cpp c.cpp` -In this case the operating system reports two processors; therefore, the compiler uses two processes in its calculation. As a result, the compiler will execute the build with two processes because that is the lesser of two processes and three source files. +In this case, the operating system reports two processors, so the compiler uses two processes in its calculation.

Although the compiler creates a set of processes that contain copies of the compiler, the operating system schedules when each process executes. The **`/MP`** option can't guarantee that the source files will be compiled in a particular order. A source file is compiled when a process is available to compile it. If there are more files than processes, the first set of files is compiled by the available processes. The remaining files are processed when a process finishes handling a previous file and is available to work on one of the remaining files. -Do not specify the same source file multiple times on a command line. This might occur, for example, if a tool automatically creates a [makefile](contents-of-a-makefile.md) that is based on dependency information in a project. If you do not specify the **/MP** option, the compiler processes the list of files sequentially and recompiles each occurrence of the file. However, if you specify the **/MP** option, different compilers might compile the same file at the same time. Consequently, the different compilers will try to write to the same output file at the same time. One compiler will acquire exclusive write access to the output file and succeed, and the other compilers will fail with a file access error. +Don't specify the same source file multiple times on a command line.

For example, when you define a property value in the property pages, the IDE will generally place the property definition in the property group with the empty label. This ordering ensures that default values brought in the system property sheets are overridden by user-defined values. Similarly, the target files are imported at the end since they consume the properties defined before, and since they generally don't define properties themselves.

Some enumeration types change size when the conforming **`/Zc:enumTypes`** option is enabled.

Sufficiently large enumerators can set the underlying type of the **`enum`** to **`unsigned int`**, **`long long`**, or **`unsigned long long`**. Previously, such enumeration types always had an underlying type of **`int`** in the Microsoft compiler, regardless of enumerator values. + +The C++ Standard also specifies that, within an enumeration definition that has no fixed underlying type, the types of enumerators are determined by their initializers. Or, for the enumerators with no initializer, by the type of the previous enumerator (accounting for overflow). Previously, such enumerators were always given the deduced type of the enumeration, with a placeholder for the underlying type (typically **`int`**). + +In versions of Visual Studio before Visual Studio 2022 version 17.4, the C++ compiler didn't correctly determine the underlying type of an unscoped enumeration with no fixed base type.

The MSVC compiler always performs copy and move elision for **`return`** statements when it's required, even under **`/Zc:nrvo-`**. + +### Optional copy and move elision + +When a **`return`** statement contains an expression of non-primitive type, its execution copies the expression result into the return slot of the calling function. The compiler invokes the copy or move constructor of the returned type. Then, as the function is exited, destructors for function-local variables are called, which includes any variables named in the expression. + +The C++ standard allows (but doesn't require) the compiler to optionally construct the returned object directly in the return slot of the calling function. This construction skips (or *elides*) the copy or move constructor executed as part of the **`return`** statement. Unlike most other optimizations, this transformation is allowed to have an observable effect on the program's output. Namely, the copy or move constructor and associated destructor are called one less time. The standard still requires that the named returned variable has a defined copy or move constructor, even if the compiler elides the constructor in all cases. + +In versions before Visual Studio 2022 version 17.4, when optimizations are disabled (such as under **`/Od`** or in functions marked `#pragma optimize("", off)`) the compiler only performs mandatory copy and move elision. Under **`/O2`**, the older compilers perform optional copy or move elision on return of a named variable in an optimized function when all of these conditions are met: it has no loops or exception handling, it doesn't return multiple symbols with overlapping lifetimes, the type's copy or move constructor doesn't have default arguments. + +Visual Studio 2022 version 17.4 increases the number of places where the compiler does optional copy or move elisions under **`/Zc:nrvo`**, whether enabled explicitly, or automatically by using the **`/O2`**, **`/permissive-`**, or **`/std:c++20`** or later options. Under **`/Zc:nrvo`**, the compiler performs optional copy or move elision on return of a named variable for any function when: it has no loops or exception handling (as before); it returns the variable from a loop; it has exception handling; the returned type's copy or move constructor has default arguments.

A linear search through a small array can be faster than a binary search through a data structure with many pointers that causes page faults or cache misses. ## MFC and Class Libraries The Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) can greatly simplify writing code. When writing time-critical code, you should be aware of the overhead inherent in some of the classes. Examine the MFC code that your time-critical code uses to see if it meets your performance requirements. The following list identifies MFC classes and functions you should be aware of: -- `CString` MFC calls the C run-time library to allocate memory for a [CString](../atl-mfc-shared/reference/cstringt-class.md) dynamically. Generally speaking, `CString` is as efficient as any other dynamically-allocated string. As with any dynamically allocated string, it has the overhead of dynamic allocation and release. Often, a simple **`char`** array on the stack can serve the same purpose and is faster. Don't use a `CString` to store a constant string. Use `const char *` instead. Any operation you perform with a `CString` object has some overhead. Using the run-time library [string functions](../c-runtime-library/string-manipulation-crt.md) may be faster. +- `CString` MFC calls the C run-time library to allocate memory for a [`CString`](../atl-mfc-shared/reference/cstringt-class.md) dynamically.

If you know the specific limits for the array, you can use a global fixed array instead. If you use `CArray`, use `CArray::SetSize` to establish its size and specify the number of elements by which it grows when a reallocation is necessary. Otherwise, adding elements can cause your array to be frequently reallocated and copied, which is inefficient and can fragment memory. Also be aware that if you insert an item into an array, `CArray` moves subsequent items in memory and may need to grow the array. These actions can cause cache misses and page faults. If you look through the code that MFC uses, you may see that you can write something more specific to your scenario to improve performance.

If your code does not require a doubly linked list you may want to reconsider using `CList`.

The best way to understand it is by stepping through the source code or by measuring with tools such as PView or Performance Monitor. ## Heaps Use multiple heaps with discretion. Additional heaps created with `HeapCreate` and `HeapAlloc` let you manage and then dispose of a related set of allocations. Don't commit too much memory. If you're using multiple heaps, pay special attention to the amount of memory that is initially committed. -Instead of multiple heaps, you can use helper functions to interface between your code and the default heap. Helper functions facilitate custom allocation strategies that can improve the performance of your application. For example, if you frequently perform small allocations, you may want to localize these allocations to one part of the default heap. You can allocate a large block of memory and then use a helper function to suballocate from that block. If you do this, you will not have additional heaps with unused memory because the allocation is coming out of the default heap. +Instead of multiple heaps, you can use helper functions to interface between your code and the default heap.

When you build in Visual Studio, a manifest can be embedded by setting a property for the manifest tool in the **Project Properties** dialog, as described in the next section. + +## Manifest generation in Visual Studio + +You can tell Visual Studio to generate a manifest file for a particular project in the project's **Property Pages** dialog. Under **Configuration Properties**, select **Linker** > **Manifest File** > **Generate Manifest**. By default, the project properties of new projects are set to generate a manifest file. However it's possible to disable generation of the manifest for a project by using the **Generate Manifest** property of the project. When this property is set to **Yes**, the manifest for the project is generated. Otherwise the linker ignores assembly information when resolving dependencies of the application code, and doesn't generate the manifest. + +The build system in Visual Studio allows the manifest to be embedded in the final binary application file, or generated as an external file. This behavior is controlled by the **Embed Manifest** option in the **Project Properties** dialog. To set this property, open the **Manifest Tool** node, then select **Input and Output**. If the manifest isn't embedded, it's generated as an external file and saved in the same directory as the final binary. If the manifest is embedded, Visual Studio embeds the final manifests using the following process: + +1. After the source code is compiled to object files, the linker collects dependent assembly information. While it links the final binary, the linker generates an intermediate manifest that's used later to generate the final manifest. + +1. After the intermediate manifest and linking are finished, the manifest tool merges a final manifest and saves it as an external file. + +1. The project build system then detects whether the manifest generated by the manifest tool contains different information than the manifest already embedded in the binary. + +1. If the manifest embedded in the binary is different from the manifest generated by the manifest tool, or the binary doesn't contain an embedded manifest, Visual Studio invokes the linker one more time to embed the external manifest file inside the binary as a resource. + +1. If the manifest embedded in the binary is the same as the manifest generated by the manifest tool, the build continues to the next build steps. + +The manifest is embedded inside the final binary as a text resource. You can view it by opening the final binary as a file in Visual Studio. To ensure that the manifest points to the correct libraries, follow the steps described in [Understanding the dependencies of a Visual C++ application](../windows/understanding-the-dependencies-of-a-visual-cpp-application.md). Or, follow the suggestions described in the [Troubleshooting](troubleshooting-c-cpp-isolated-applications-and-side-by-side-assemblies.md) article. + +## Manifest generation at the command line + +When you build C/C++ applications from the command line using NMAKE or similar tools, the manifest is generated after the linker has processed all object files and built the final binary. The linker collects assembly information stored in the object files and combines this information into a final manifest file. By default, the linker generates a file named *`..manifest`* to describe the final binary. The linker can embed a manifest file inside the binary by specifying the [`/MANIFEST:EMBED`](./reference/manifest-create-side-by-side-assembly-manifest.md) linker option. + +There are several other ways to embed a manifest inside the final binary, such as using the [Manifest tool (`mt.exe`)](/windows/win32/sbscs/mt-exe) or compiling the manifest into a resource file. You must follow specific rules when you embed a manifest to enable features such as incremental linking, signing, and Edit and Continue. These rules and other options are discussed in the next section. + +## How to embed a manifest inside a C/C++ application + +We recommended that you embed the manifest of your application or library inside the final binary. This approach guarantees correct runtime behavior in most scenarios. By default, Visual Studio tries to embed the manifest when it builds a project. However, if you build your application by using NMAKE, you have to make some changes to the makefile. This section shows how to change the makefiles so that it automatically embeds the manifest inside the final binary. + +### Two approaches + +There are two ways to embed the manifest inside an application or library. + +1. If you aren't doing an incremental build, you can directly embed the manifest using a command line similar to the following as a post-build step: + + ```cmd + mt.exe -manifest MyApp.exe.manifest -outputresource:MyApp.exe;1 + ``` + + or + + ```cmd + mt.exe -manifest MyLibrary.dll.manifest -outputresource:MyLibrary.dll;2 + ``` + + Use 1 for an EXE and 2 for a DLL. + +1. If you're doing an incremental build, use the following steps: + + - Link the binary to generate the *`MyApp.exe.manifest`* file. + + - Convert the manifest to a resource file. + + - Relink (incrementally) to embed the manifest resource into the binary. + +The following examples show how to change makefiles to incorporate both techniques. + +### Makefiles (Before) + +Consider the NMAKE script for *`MyApp.exe`*, a simple application built from one file: + +```makefile +# build MyApp.exe +!if "$(DEBUG)" == "1" +CPPFLAGS=$(CPPFLAGS) /MDd +LFLAGS=$(LFLAGS) /INCREMENTAL +!else +CPPFLAGS=$(CPPFLAGS) /MD +!endif + +MyApp.exe : MyApp.obj + link $** /out:$@ $(LFLAGS) + +MyApp.obj : MyApp.cpp + +clean : + del MyApp.obj MyApp.exe +``` + +If this script is run unchanged with Visual Studio, it successfully creates *`MyApp.exe`*. It also creates the external manifest file *`MyApp.exe.manifest`*, for use by the operating system to load dependent assemblies at runtime. + +The NMAKE script for *`MyLibrary.dll`* looks similar: + +```makefile +# build MyLibrary.dll +!if "$(DEBUG)" == "1" +CPPFLAGS=$(CPPFLAGS) /MDd +LFLAGS=$(LFLAGS) /DLL /INCREMENTAL + +!else +CPPFLAGS=$(CPPFLAGS) /MD +LFLAGS=$(LFLAGS) /DLL + +!endif + +MyLibrary.dll : MyLibrary.obj + link $** /out:$@ $(LFLAGS) + +MyLibrary.obj : MyLibrary.cpp + +clean : + del MyLibrary.obj MyLibrary.dll +``` + +### Makefiles (After) + +To build with embedded manifests, you have to make four small changes to the original makefiles. For the *`MyApp.exe`* makefile: + +```makefile +# build MyApp.exe +!include makefile.inc +#^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Change #1. (Add full path if necessary.) + +!if "$(DEBUG)" == "1" +CPPFLAGS=$(CPPFLAGS) /MDd +LFLAGS=$(LFLAGS) /INCREMENTAL +!else +CPPFLAGS=$(CPPFLAGS) /MD +!endif + +MyApp.exe : MyApp.obj + link $** /out:$@ $(LFLAGS) + $(_VC_MANIFEST_EMBED_EXE) +#^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Change #2 + +MyApp.obj : MyApp.cpp + +clean : + del MyApp.obj MyApp.exe + $(_VC_MANIFEST_CLEAN) +#^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Change #3 + +!include makefile.target.inc +#^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Change #4.

It simplifies the acquisition and installation of third-party libraries on Windows, Linux, and macOS. If your project uses third-party libraries, we recommend that you use vcpkg to install them. vcpkg supports both open-source and proprietary libraries. All libraries in the vcpkg Windows catalog have been tested for compatibility with Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2017, and Visual Studio 2019. Between the Windows and Linux/macOS catalogs, vcpkg now supports thousands of libraries. The C++ community adds more libraries to both catalogs on an ongoing basis. - -## How to get and use vcpkg - -Install vcpkg by making a local clone from its GitHub repo [https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg). Then run the vcpkg-bootstrapper script to set it up. For detailed installation instructions, see [Install vcpkg](install-vcpkg.md). To integrate vcpkg with your Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code development environment, see [Integrate vcpkg](integrate-vcpkg.md). Then, to use vcpkg to install or update a library, see [Manage libraries with vcpkg](manage-libraries-with-vcpkg.md). For more information about vcpkg commands, see [vcpkg command-line reference](vcpkg-command-line-reference.md). - -## How vcpkg works - -The vcpkg project is open-source, available on GitHub. A *clone* or local copy of the vcpkg repo contains the vcpkg executable and a *catalog*, a list of packages that describe a library and its options. Each package includes one or more *ports*, information about how to obtain and build the library from sources, or download a binary version, for a specific target environment. When you use vcpkg to install a library, it uses the package and port information to download and produce a local copy of the library in a subdirectory of the vcpkg directory, ready for you to use. - -When a library is available in source form, vcpkg downloads sources instead of binaries. It compiles those sources using the most recent version of the C or C++ compiler and tools that it can find. For C++ ABI compatibility, it's important that both your application code and any libraries you use are compiled by the same version of the same compiler. By using vcpkg, you eliminate or at least greatly reduce the potential for mismatched binaries and the problems they can cause. In teams that standardize on a specific version of a compiler, one team member can use vcpkg to download sources and compile a set of binaries. It's inefficient to make everyone on a team download and build common libraries. One team member can use the **`vcpkg export`** command to create a common zip file of the binaries and headers, or a NuGet package. Then, it's easy to share it with other team members. - -## Customize vcpkg instances for different targets - -You can clone multiple copies, or *instances*, of vcpkg on your machine, and customize each one for specific purposes. In each instance, you can install different libraries, or even different versions of libraries than the ones found in the public catalog. Each instance may be set to produce a custom collection of libraries, using your preferred compiler options. Every instance is a self-contained environment with its own copy of vcpkg.exe that operates only on its own hierarchy. vcpkg isn't added to any environment variables, and has no dependency on the Windows Registry or Visual Studio. - -You can also create a vcpkg clone that has private libraries in the ports collection. You can add a port that downloads your prebuilt binaries and headers. Then, write a *portfile.cmake* file that simply copies those files to the preferred location. - -## The vcpkg folder hierarchy - -All vcpkg functionality and data is self-contained in a single directory hierarchy per instance. There are no registry settings or environment variables. You can have any number of instances of vcpkg on a machine, and they won't interfere with each other. - -The contents of a vcpkg instance are: - -- *`buildtrees`* - Contains subfolders of sources from which each library is built. -- *`docs`* - documentation and examples. -- *`downloads`* - Cached copies of any downloaded tools or sources. vcpkg searches here first when you run the install command. -- *`installed`* - Contains the headers and binaries for each installed library. When you integrate with Visual Studio, you're essentially telling it add this folder to its search paths. -- *`packages`* - Internal folder for staging between installs. -- *`ports`* - Files that describe each library in the catalog, its version, and where to download it. You can add your own ports if needed. -- *`scripts`* - Scripts (CMake, PowerShell) used by vcpkg. -- *`toolsrc`* - C++ source code for vcpkg and related components. -- *`triplets`* - Contains the settings for each supported target platform (for example, x86-windows or x64-uwp). - -## Telemetry - -vcpkg collects usage data in order to help us improve your experience. The data collected by Microsoft is anonymous. You can opt-out of telemetry by re-running the **`bootstrap-vcpkg.bat`** or **`bootstrap-vcpkg.sh`** script using the **`-disableMetrics`** option.
