Successful results include baseline and final build times, measured improvement, and effects on iterative builds when applicable. ### Source excerpt We know that slow builds are a consistent theme in feedback from C++ developers. Your feedback helped us to shape GitHub Copilot build performance for Windows, an agent that can trace your build, find bottlenecks, apply optimizations, and measure the result. When using the agent, the clearest outcome is a straightforward win. The agent changes [...] The post Clearer Build Optimization Results with GitHub Copilot appeared first on C++ Team Blog. ## Faster C++ iterative builds with GitHub Copilot DevFeed: [Faster C++ iterative builds with GitHub Copilot]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: David Li Published: 2026-07-17T14:22:57Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [C++ Team Blog]() Topics: [build times](), [C++](), [AI Bots]() Tags: [agent](), [build-insights](), [build-optimization](), [build-performance](), [build-times](), [c-plus-plus](), [copilot](), [diagnostics](), [game-development](), [github](), [github-copilot](), [optimization](), [performance](), [tool](), [visual-studio](), [visual-studio-2026](), [windows](), [workflow]() ### AI overview GitHub Copilot build performance for Windows adds an iterative build tool that evaluates optimization changes against incremental builds as well as clean builds. ### Source excerpt Slow builds are a consistent theme of feedback from C++ developers. We built GitHub Copilot build performance for Windows so you can leverage Copilot to optimize your project's build times. This workflow will find optimizations that bring your build times down. At first, we only measured the impact of build optimizations on full clean builds.
