Stability of modules in Visual Studio?

• STL

  154 9,732 9.7 C++

  MSVC's implementation of the C++ Standard Library.

  

It is indeed an unusually rich source of compiler bugs because (as I understand it) it involves representing C++'s complicated constructs in a novel way, and that means lots of corner cases to handle. microsoft/STL#1694 lists the compiler bugs we've encountered while getting Standard Library Header Units working.

• AStarDemo

  14 0 2.5 C++

  Discontinued A basic A* example ported to C++/WinRT

I tried to port a toy application, https://github.com/pjmlp/AStarDemo and gave up.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com featured

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• cppwinrt

  11 1,593 7.0 C++

  C++/WinRT

  

• TextLayoutSampler

  4 30 4.5 C++

  Utility to display text via multiple Windows API's simultaneously (D2D, DWrite, GDI, GDI+).

Well I haven't seen that one, but I've gotten other ICE's and linker errors while incrementally modularizing this app over the years. e.g. Common.Variant.ixx(106,1): fatal error C1001: Internal compiler error. I definitely want to file bugs, and have been, but it's tedious to narrow down the ~20'000 line program for a repro 😑, as often times the change is due to elsewhere rather than the reported line itself. I did though get another program of mine (~15'000 lines) completely modularized successfully yesterday with VS2019 16.10.0 Preview 2, after applying the work-around for one linker error and disabling PCH's with modules. 😊 So it's definitely improving.
