You will need to change the Visual Studio 2015 generator to support the nativs tag. I'm not a CMake developer, but a 5 minutes look at the CMake source code suggests this might be very easy. If you look at cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator::WriteAllSources(), you'll see that it calls GetLanguage() on the source file, and depending on which language is set, it uses a different tool. Either ClCompile, MASM, ResourceCompile, etc. It sounds like all you need to do is add another language type, called Natvis, and put it behind a check on the version of the generator to make sure this language is only recognized when VS Version >= 2015.<div><br></div><div>If it were me, I would whip up a 10 line patch that did exactly this, post it on the CMake dev list, and see what kind of feedback I got.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div class="h5"><div dir="ltr">On Sun, Jan 10, 2016 at 3:59 PM <Alexander G.
