Brief description of tool
MSVC, the C/C++ compiler included in Visual Studio, has a regression that generates incorrect code for widely-used STL functions such as std::transform and std::copy.
That bug, present in the 17.14.5 version that's installed on the windows-2022 images, is apparently fixed in 17.14.8.
We hit that bug in the Apache Arrow CI and I suspect others will hit given that it affects very common standard functions and seems to trigger even on very short and simple inputs.
It would be nice to update to 17.14.8 if possible, and otherwise downgrade to 17.13.15 which didn't have the problem.
