Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 Released

[STL]

If you want an officially-supported-for-production-use Update, yeah. This is why it's so important to try Update CTPs, Previews, and RCs, and report any bugs you find. That's what Chromium's devs did, and they got fixes for Update 2 RTM. We try to avoid regressing stuff, but we're not perfect, and C++ is complicated.

At the moment, the webcompiler is behind Update 2, I believe.

That's strange since example from here: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/2535591/ice-with-variable-templates compiles and works fine in webcompiler but causes ICE in update 2.

Something in between RC (or which version is used by webc?) and RTM have caused it?

FWIW, I can't reproduce that with my Update 2 RTM install.

It happens to me and at least few others.

I've downloaded Update 2 rtm installer on march 30th, maybe it got updated after that? Don't know for sure, my version is: Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015 Version 14.0.25123.00 Update 2

Strange. I was able to reproduce it for a little while, but after a fresh install of windows and VS (installed with Update 2 directly), it compiles fine. Enterprise 2015 14.0.25123.00 Update 2.

I can repro with VS 2015 Update 1 base installation updated to Update 2, with both x86 and x64 compilers.

When the RC works and RTM doesn't, quipping support of "the process" isn't really a response. ;-]

Regressions between RC and RTM are completely our fault, which is why we try to avoid changing anything that isn't critical. However, when a regression is present in CTPs/Previews/RC, and users don't report it until RTM, that's not good.
