Announcing: MSVC Conforms to the C++ Standard - C++ Team Blog
Achieving conformance with the C++ Standards has been a long road for the Visual C++ team. If you’ve seen us at any conferences lately, you’ve probably seen the MSVC Conformance slide. (You can grab a copy of the slide or watch the 2017 CppCon talk here.) Finishing the features on this slide –...
Mostly anyway, apparently they still have a few problem cases. The blog specificially mentions RangesV3 and Boost.Hana.

Yeah it's great that they're taking C++ so seriously now that we've been getting the new standards, they've even done a really good job with the intellisense in C++17, even cases you think wouldn't work do work (though templates are still of course very difficult to provide intellisense for). I wonder about C though, as MSVC as far as I can tell still only seems to support C89, not C99 or C11, unless they've been working on that and I hadn't heard about it. It's funny because C++ now has newer C features than C under MSVC...

I don't think it does. Here's an old (but good) read: https://herbsutter.com/2012/05/03/reader-qa-what-about-vc-and-c99/. Sounds like they want to support any C99/C11 features that are a subset of C++98/C++11. Which I suppose makes sense if you think they're basically producing a C++ compiler that also compiles C.

And they've fixed that too!
Announcing Template IntelliSense - C++ Team Blog
C++ developers using function templates and class templates can now take full advantage of IntelliSense within their template bodies. In Visual Studio 2017 15.8 Preview 3, when your caret is inside a template, a new UI element called a “Template Bar” appears next to the template definition.
