C++ language server now auto-configures MSBuild builds
The Microsoft C++ Language Server for GitHub Copilot CLI now bundles its MSBuild compile commands extractor and invokes it automatically. Agents no longer need to discover and run a separate extraction step to configure MSBuild builds.
Why it matters
Builders working on C++ projects that use MSBuild can expect the Copilot CLI language server to set up its build configuration without a manual extraction step, which may reduce setup work for agent-driven C++ development.
Who should care
C++ developers, teams using MSBuild, developers using GitHub Copilot CLI with agent workflows
What you can do
If you use GitHub Copilot CLI with C++ and MSBuild, update the language server and test whether it picks up your compile commands without a manual extraction step.
