It will require VS2015u2 or newer to build (drops support for building with VS2015u1). Also, VS2015u3 was released this week. It seems to build in warnings-as-errors mode just fine locally with a vanilla mozconfig. But YMMV.

Re: Dropping support for VS2013
Who is responsible for updating our build documentation about this? It seems the docs still don't believe we can even build for sure on VS2015 (though it's been the recommended compiler for a while now), and list a number of SDKs that I'm not convinced you'd actually need to manually install if using MSVS2015. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Build_Instructions/Simple_Firefox_build/Windows_Firefox_build It also seems this is largely duplicated with the "windows build prerequisites" page which does seem to have been updated. :-\ ~ Gijs On 01/06/2016 00:22, Gregory Szorc wrote: Heads up: we'll soon be dropping support for building mozilla-central with VS2013.

Re: Dropping support for VS2013
Hi Greg and others, I was just about to raise the issue of performance regression from this change. If we are aiming this at the 49 release, I would like for us to improve the situation described in bug 1259923, a 15% performance regression across all Talos tests covering Windows platforms, which Joel brought to my attention yesterday. I don't think we can accept that if it means a large noticeable slowdown in performance for Windows users in the release population. (Even though we really, really want to improve the toolchain and build time for developers and our own infrastructure.) Can we put some engineering resources into investigating the test results and mitigating the perf regression? 15% worse across all Windows tests should probably block the release. We don't have hard and fast criteria for what would be an acceptable perf hit. I think the platform (and probably product team) should discuss that.

Dropping support for VS2013
Heads up: we'll soon be dropping support for building mozilla-central with VS2013. Bug 1186064 tracks and the patch has already received r+. I'm going to wait a few days before landing because this could be disruptive and I want to at least give a heads up before I create a fire. Please install VS2015 in the next 48 hours to avoid a surprise the next time you pull.
