Shulou(Shulou.com)06/03 Report--

This article introduces you what are the highlights of the official release of VisualStudio2017, the content is very detailed, interested friends can refer to, hope to be helpful to you.

The official version of Visual Studio 2017 is released, which not only adds new features such as real-time unit testing and real-time architecture dependency verification, but also improves many practical functions, such as code navigation, IntelliSense, refactoring, code repair and debugging. No matter which language or platform you use, you can save developers the time and energy they spend on daily tasks.

In addition, this version also brings a new lightweight and modular installation experience, which can be tailored to your needs. Several enhancements come together to enable Visual Studio 2017 to start up 3 times faster than Visual Studio 2015 and reduce solution load time by 2-4 times.

Bright spot. Look at this.

Highlight 1. Navigation Enhancement

Visual Studio 2017 greatly improves code navigation and coloring results, providing custom grouping, sorting, filtering, and search. Powerful Go to All (ctrl + T or ctrl +,) for a quick and complete search of any file, type, member, or symbol declaration in the solution.

Highlight 2. No solution is required to load files

Visual Studio 2017 can directly open and process any file in a range of languages such as C #, C + +, Ruby, Go, and so on.

Highlight 3, intelligent filtering

IntelliSense now provides filters to help you get what you need without dabbling in too many steps.

Highlight 4, language improvement

A new C # language refactoring command has been added to help modernize the code with the latest standards. The new style analyzer and support for EditorConfig harmonize the coding standards of the entire team.

Highlight 5, CMake support for C++

You can start coding by loading the CMake project directly in Visual Studio.

Highlight 6, Linux support for C++

Visual C + + for Linux development is now part of Visual Studio 2017.

Highlight 7, Live unit testing

As the name implies, it tells you in real time that the unit test will pass or fail without leaving the code editor.

Highlight 8, Run to Click

When you stop in an interrupted state in the debugger, hover over a line of code and you will see Run to Click glyph. Click to stop at the line and continue to do so next time.

Highlight 9, Exception Helpers

The root cause of the exception can be viewed immediately and the internal exception can be accessed immediately. In addition, you can exclude the type of exception thrown from the specified module by clicking the check box to add a condition when the throw exception stops.

Bright spot 10, small and light installation

The new installer for Visual Studio 2017 is easier to start and run. The minimum installation is only 1/10 of the previous version, and it only takes a minute or two to complete the installation.

Do not want to see the following detailed summary and instructions, you can check out the version of the bright spot blog post.

What's New in Visual Studio 2017

Improvement of IDE

● Visual Studio has been optimized to reduce startup time and solution load time. Start Visual Studio at least 50% faster for the first time.

● Visual Studio will now monitor the extension performance that the solution loads or edits. Alerts about poor performance extensions can be received through the notification bar in IDE. The new performance Center (help > manage Visual Studio performance) can not only view extensions that affect performance, but also find tool windows that affect startup performance and change its startup load behavior.

● can choose to install Visual Studio's GitHub extension in the new Visual Studio installer

Reloading all projects has been replaced with an overloaded solution to support better performance when switching to an external branch of VS. When using the Git command line to switch branches, choose an overloaded solution after the branch switch to achieve maximum performance improvement.

The file global functionality of ● .NET Core and ASP.NET Core projects has been enhanced. See project file globbing for more details.

After the ● is cloned, it will now automatically go to the folder view of the repository. You can view files using the new solution selection list in solution Explorer.

Start page

The redesigned start page has a new Open and create function:

● gets a remote repository from VSTS or easily opens local projects and solutions using MRU.

The ● start page MRU displays repositories cloned on other computers so that they can be easily cloned on the current computer.

● creates a new project with searchable templates and a list of recently used templates directly from the start page. Recently used templates will also use personalized accounts to roam between Visual Studio instances.

● quickly launches a new clone from VSTS through the Export from VSTS option on the start page

The detachable "get started" section.

● 's fine visual design to handle the use of white space on smaller screens.

The new start page is as follows:

Improved code navigation, which has been significantly improved in Visual Studio 2017:

● jump to all (Ctrl +, or Ctrl + T) allows you to quickly find and transfer to files, types, methods, and other elements in the code. Even in a large code base, any kind of project can be found. In C # and Visual Basic, a "fuzzy" match has also been added, and if you misspell a type name, you can still search for results. Go To Line (Ctrl + G) is also implemented. This feature allows you to find Go To series commands at the top of the editing menu.

● find all references (Shift+F12) has also been significantly improved (currently only supports caches, Visual Basic, and C++), provides advanced grouping, filtering, sorting, searching in reference results, and highlighting results (for C# and VB), so you can clearly understand your references and get the lines of code you need. When you hover over a referenced project, there is a hover prompt that contains the reference context in the source code (for C # and VB). By toggling the keep results button in the toolbar, the next call to find all references populates the reference results in the new window. This allows you to keep the current results in the current window.

The ● structure guides have now been redrawn in the editor so that you can easily see the structure of the code you are using. When the mouse hovers, a hover prompt containing the context of the current code block relative to its ancestor block is displayed. This feature currently supports clips, Visual Basic and XAML files, as well as any files supported through TextMate syntax. (in the tools > options dialog box, disable this feature by unchecking the Show structure Guide check box under the text Editor > General category)

Visual C++

Code Analysis of C++

The C++ Core Inspector for implementing C++ 's core guidelines is now released with Visual Studio. Simply enable the inspector feature in the code analysis extension dialog box in the project property page, and the extension will be introduced automatically when you run the code analysis.

C++ compiler

The C++ compiler and standard library have been updated, and support for the functions of Category 11 and 14 has been enhanced, as well as initial support for some features in the Category 17 standard. It is important to note that the compiler still lacks some of the features of the Category 11 and Clipper 98 standards. Visual Studio 2017 allows / sdl to be used with / await.

This release brings several improvements in optimization and code generation. Some significant improvements include:

● improved cyclic code generation: support automatic vectorization of constant integer division to better identify memset patterns

● improves code security: improves buffer overflows, and / guard:cf now protects switch statements that generate jump tables

● when using collaborative routines, the Experimental keyword "yield" has been removed. Your code should be updated to use "co_yield".

C++ library

Performance improvement of ● [STL] basic_string

● [STL] added, apply (), make_from_tuple ()

● [STL] std::vector has made significant improvements in correctness and performance

● [STL] The STL now avoids dereferencing empty curly braces pointers

● [STL] added, shared_ptr::weak_type, and.

● [STL] for a complete list of STL improvements, see the Visual C + + team blog
