The compiler is pretty buggy and has several, unfixed conformance issues with C++.
One year ago I asked on the interest mailing list about using a non-latest MSVC: https://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/interest/2023-January/038859.html The reasons reported for not going to the next were: * regression in a newer version that MS hadn't fixed * cost: they may have bought version X but not Y (yet) * cost: re-certifying the entire tool environment * because the associated tools (IDE) have other problems (UX) * inertia * because our builds are labelled "msvc2019" My conclusion then was that we could drop the older one, but our policy should be to support an X-1 version of MSVC for as long as practicable, a minimum of a few years. Well, in April this year, MSVC 2019 will be 5 years old, though fortunately it's still getting updates. Considering MSVC 2022 will be 3.5 at that time, I think it's time to drop. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Cloud Software Architect - Intel DCAI Cloud Engineering
