Subject: [edk2-devel] Drop VS2015 Support
Date: Tue, 9 Jul 2024 12:47:54 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a6db996b-272b-4ab8-910d-016d67d57a32@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)

Hi Rebecca,

Per Liming's request I am moving this discussion to the mailing list.
Now that VS2022 support has been added to edk2, can we drop VS2015
support (honestly VS2017 could be dropped, too). This is an almost
10 year old toolchain that is unsupported, has many quirks, and will
continue to require odd changes from new code to support it, for no
gain. VS2015 (and 2017) users should move to VS2022.

Thanks,
Oliver
