When the `co_yield` statement is executed, `fib` is suspended and the value is returned to the caller.

- **Breakpoint/Tracepoint Creation**: You can now create conditional breakpoints or tracepoints directly from expressions in the source code from the right-click menu. This works on property or field names and values from autos, locals, watch windows, or DataTips.
- **Attach to Process Dialog**: The functionality provided by the Attach to Process dialog is more user-friendly. You can now easily switch between tree and list views, organize processes better with collapsible sections, and select code types with a simplified combobox. Also, the "Select/Track Window" feature is now easier to use, allowing two-way tracking: selecting a process highlights its window, and clicking on a window selects its process.

- More Unreal Engine support:
- Unreal Engine Test Adapter lets you discover, run, manage, and debug your Unreal Engine tests without leaving the Visual Studio IDE.

- Build Insights is now integrated with Visual Studio 2022 and works with MSBuild and CMake projects using MSVC. You can now see additional information about the compilation of a function such as how long it took to compile and the number of ForceInlines, and the impact of header files on build time.

This change avoids named casts causing unnecessary overhead in debug builds. `/permissive-` (or an option that implies it, such as `/std:c++20` or `std:c++latest`) is required.

- Added [`[[msvc::intrinsic]]`](../cpp/attributes.md#msvcintrinsic). You can apply this attribute to nonrecursive functions consisting of a single cast, which take only one parameter.
- Added support for Linux Console in the Integrated Terminal, which allows for terminal I/O.
- Added initial experimental support for C11 atomic primitives (`<stdatomic.h>`). You can enable this experimental feature with the `/experimental:c11atomics` option in `/std:c11` mode or later.
