Hi Rebecca,
Thank you for bringing up this topic.
I agree we should get Visual Studio compiler support for Arm in edk2.
The Visual Studio static analysis has helped to detect issues in
DynamicTablesPkg in the past (when we did not have any dependency on
assembly code).
I can see that Visual Studio Compiler support is already available in
Project Mu. Would it be good to pull in the changes from there?
We would need to:
* look at the compatibility of the licenses.
* review and align any changes with the latest edk2 code base (Note
this effort would be significantly less than starting from scratch).
@Oliver Smith-Denny <mailto:o...@linux.microsoft.com> is this something
you can help with, please?
Yes, we have been wanting to upstream our ARM VS2022 build support,
including the nasm files, but we also weren't sure what the upstream
appetite was. I will help coordinate that from our side.
License-wise, we use the same BSD-2-Clause-Patent license as edk2
so there should be no issue.
I'll deal with any changes with the latest edk2 codebase, we are
updated to the edk2-stable202405 tag, so the delta shouldn't
be huge.
Thanks,
Oliver
