I helped where I could: * https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/windows-driver-docs-ddi/pull/1255 * https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/windows-driver-docs-ddi/pull/1256 I'm now trying to work on `std::stacktrace` PR for MSVC STL. Did dbghelp version, but thread unsafety is not an option....

No, the sample uses the usual `CoCreateInstance`, but at least `NoRegCoCreate` is exposed via headers with a comment

In the context of #24, probably the COM initializer class shouldn't be totally removed, as DIA SDK is real COM and needs this stuff. Just don't use that for DbgEng

BTW if DbgEng interfaces were COM apartment aware, this comment is wrong: > ``` > // COINIT_MULTITHREADED means that we must serialize access to the objects manually. > // This...

Does `std::filesystem::exists` even call `CreateFileW`? If so, it should not -- should use `GetFileAttributesW` or `FindFirstFileW`.

What are gains? For separately compiled vector algorithms they are minimal

Personally I don't care much -- the project I'm working on simply requires x64. Yet, I would see such a decision as some lack of discipline. If the compiler and...

A hypervisor may allow changing CPUID. If it can hide SSE (whole SSE, not just SSE2), then the OS will not maintain the corresponring architectural state, and SSE2 code will...
