This month, we enter the third decade of C++ at Microsoft.
It was twenty years ago, in February of 1992, that we released our first C++ compiler: Microsoft C/C++ 7.0. Before then, we already worked with several of the C++ “preprocessor” compilers that took C++ and converted it to C before our compiler then created the executable program. But starting in 1992, Microsoft’s premier native compiler supported C++ directly, and has done so ever since.
