WinDev Helper VS Code extension v2.10.0 release
https://github.com/alvinashcraft/windev-helper/releases/tag/2.10.0
Mike GrieseHey this is nifty: #cppwinrt is finally adding support for #cpp modules from c++20.
https://github.com/microsoft/cppwinrt/pull/1575
This is a huge deal for the PCH's that are generated by winrt - the `Windows` namespaces (especially #XAML) can pretty quickly grow to 1GB on disk _per project_ in your solution. It's crazy.
With modules, you can build those windows headers once, and re-use them across the whole sln.
It's something I experimented with a few years back, and the compiler is finally updated for it!
