Hello, it seems jdk/jdk does not build any more with VS2017.
Should we still support this compiler ?
For the error see :
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8286459
8286459: compile error with VS2017 in continuationFreezeThaw.cpp
In Oracle, we moved from using VS2019 16.9.3 to VS2022 17.1.0 a few
months ago.
I checked the Microsoft site to get the status of VS2017. It says that
the "Mainstream End Date" for that release was April 2022 so I guess
it's not easy to get updates without extended support now.
So maybe it time to look at it, it might be easier to have a smaller set
of VS releases to support.
