[llvm-dev] Retiring VS2015 Support

Wed Jun 19 14:05:43 PDT 2019

Isn't this already covered by the compiler upgrade plan that was under discussion a while ago? The plan covers all compilers, not only VS.

If I understand correctly, VS2015 is already in the "soft error" range, and it will trigger a hard CMake error next time we bump the minimum requirements. Last I heard, we were waiting for Google to finish some internal work.
