Visual Studio documentation for Microsoft C++

Welcome! This repository contains source files for the work-in-progress Microsoft C++ (MSVC or Visual C++) technical documentation. The articles are published on the C++ in Visual Studio documentation site.

The documentation for Visual Basic and Visual C# are located in a separate repository at https://github.com/dotnet/core-docs, and the Visual Studio documentation is located in the repository located at https://github.com/Microsoft/visualstudio-docs.

We welcome your contributions to help us improve the MSVC docs. For a comprehensive guide to contributing to docs.microsoft.com, see the Microsoft Docs contributor guide overview. For details on how to make a contribution to the MSVC documentation, see the Contributing guide.

Several feature areas of MSVC have their own folders in this repository, such as standard-library for articles on the C++ Standard Library, ide for C++-specific articles on the Visual Studio interactive development environment (IDE), and so forth. The /media subfolder in each folder contains art files for the articles. The Contributing guide has more information.
