compiled as expected. Plus, soon the default will be C++17. Expect the VS 15.9.x release to have that value, assuming past language compliance modifications, indicate future unexpected compiler messages, warnings, errors, etc.

Source? Daily professional use of the current release VS tool set.

Details: Microsoft anticipates the 15.9.x release(s) will resolve bugs complying with C++17. Plus, the standard headers will likely change again. Between 15.7.x and 15.8.x, the VS standard headers use more compile time if and other C++17 features. The header modifications are quickly found using the Intel 18.0, update 3, C++ compiler. The Intel C++ compiler team has been informed and issues filed. How exactly will the changing VS standard header files compile without C++17 being the 15.9.x default?

Remember, the VS preprocessor is expected to be fully compliant too: The updated preprocessor is currently under the switch /experimental:preprocessor until it is fully implemented and production-ready, at which point it will be moved to a /Zc: switch which is enabled by default under /permissive- mode.
