Visual C++ 2010 SP1

Question

As a C++ developer using Visual Studio 2010, what do I gain from installing SP1 (that is related to C++)? Any significant language/library changes related to C++0x/TR1? Or is SP1 mostly a bugfix release?

Answer 1

KB983509 lists the changes in SP1. There's nothing 0x-related (or just bugs, but I'm too lazy to go over that list).

Answer 2

VS 2010 SP1 fixes one real nasty bug filed here: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/564917#

That bug alone was enough for me to install SP1.

Answer 3

It fixes the really bad bug of "Crash on Show All Files". It supposedly fixes the "Crash on Close" bug but it still happens on my machine. Not terribly nice but it's not hurting anything as the program has already closed.
