VS 2015 Update 3 offers numerous improvements such as improved
language conformance, fixes to avoid linker crashes, and
improved code-gen for faster performance. Update 3 also resolves
some problems with incremental linking silently falling back to
a full link.
It also fixes an internal compiler error in /analyze builds.
The landmines change is needed because otherwise things like the
out\Release\cdb directory do not get regenerated.
The process for creating this package is:
- Create a clean Windows VM running Windows Server 2012 R2 (en_windows_server_2012_r2_vl_with_update_x64_dvd_6052766.iso, SHA1: 247EAEE5628850A41F0C51471656AAFB2492EA08, Standard Edition)
- Install depot tools, run ‘gclient’, and add depot_tools to the path
- Install VS 2015 Professional Update 3 - must have been installed after July 12th to get the latest fixes - with these settings and nothing else:
* Visual C++ and make sure the three nodes underneath are also selected
* Under Universal Windows App Development Tools make sure the "Tools (1.4.1) and Windows 10 SDK (10.0.14393)" and the "Windows 10 SDK (10.0.10586)" nodes are selected and nothing else
- Copy the *Debugger and Tools*.msi installers from another machine and run them. The 10.0.14393 versions (Anniversary Edition) should be used.
- Then run:
python depot_tools\win_toolchain\package_from_installed.py 2015
It is also possible to package the 14393 SDK by running this command,
but that change is being saved for later:
python depot_tools\win_toolchain\package_from_installed.py 2015 -w 10.0.14393.0

These are required to get access to the !uniqstack command, to be able
to dump all threads' stacks from a minidump.

If DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN=0 and vcvarsall.bat has not been run then
WINDOWSSDKDIR will probably not be set and copying cdb\cdb.exe will fail
when copy_cdb_to_output.py tries to read WINDOWSSDKDIR from environ.
This change handles that case by using the default SDK location.
