alt Hacker NewsI am not claiming there is any special treatment at all. I think the situation is much simpler:
They (Microsoft) test GSL with specific compiler versions to observe how their usage of the UB is treated, and if satisfactory, that compiler version is now "supported" in their eyes. They do not claim to "support" any other version because they have not tested them to know how the UB functions there.
What is the relationship between your claim, and the claim I replied to about GSL having special treatment? In other words, why did you reply to me with an interpretation about a post that claimed GSL is afforded special treatment by MSVC if your claim is that GSL does not get any special treatment from MSVC?
Did you intend to reply to someone else?
