This preview covers two featured sessions on AI-native C++ workflows. Sinem Akinci demonstrates how the Microsoft C++ language server brings semantic awareness to Copilot CLI, enabling symbol navigation, cross-translation-unit reference resolution, and compile-ready edits without opening an IDE. Augustin Popa tours GitHub Copilot's agentic capabilities in Visual Studio, covering built-in workflows for build optimization, profiling, and debugging, plus customization via MCP servers, skills, and custom agents. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How does GitHub Copilot CLI get semantic understanding of a C++ codebase? Copilot CLI integrates with the Microsoft C++ language server, which loads a real C++ project and automatically generates the build context needed for full semantic understanding. This lets Copilot resolve C++ symbols, follow references across translation units, and produce edits that actually compile, all without opening an IDE. _Developers exploring AI-assisted C++ workflows can track tool updates like this one on daily.dev._ ### What AI agentic features does Visual Studio offer for C++ development without extra setup? Visual Studio includes built-in agentic experiences for C++ that work with zero setup, such as build optimizations, profiling, and diagnosing exceptions during debugging. Teams can further customize these workflows with MCP servers, skills, and custom agents to match how they actually work. _Teams deciding how to configure AI tooling for their C++ IDE can follow coverage like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Pure Virtual C\+\+ 2026 Is a Wrap](https://daily.dev/posts/pure-virtual-c-2026-is-a-wrap-8fjkmdezo) · DevBlogs · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Pure Virtual C\+\+ 2026 Talks Announced](https://daily.dev/posts/pure-virtual-c-2026-talks-announced-0s6rzcuae) · DevBlogs · 4 upvotes · 0 comments - [Pure Virtual C\+\+ 2026 \[Meet the Speakers, Part 1\]: Build Faster, Run Faster](https://daily.dev/posts/pure-virtual-c-2026-meet-the-speakers-part-1-build-faster-run-faster-46c7ocid6) · DevBlogs · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Pure Virtual C\+\+ 2026 Is Now Live\!](https://daily.dev/posts/pure-virtual-c-2026-is-now-live--iigskyvdv) · DevBlogs · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#github](https://daily.dev/tags/github), [#ai-coding](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-coding), [#c++](https://daily.dev/tags/c++), [#visual-studio](https://daily.dev/tags/visual-studio), [#lsp](https://daily.dev/tags/lsp) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/pure-virtual-c-2026-meet-the-speakers-part-2-the-ai-native-c-developer-workflow-fhzo86ksz) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Pure Virtual C++ 2026 [Meet the Speakers, Part 2]: The AI-Native C++ Developer Workflow","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/pure-virtual-c-2026-meet-the-speakers-part-2-the-ai-native-c-developer-workflow-fhzo86ksz","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/pure-virtual-c-2026-meet-the-speakers-part-2-the-ai-native-c-developer-workflow-fhzo86ksz"},"datePublished":"2026-07-13T20:41:27.845Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T07:49:06.378Z","description":"Pure Virtual C++ 2026 is a free one-day virtual conference streaming July 21, 2026.
