Microsoft Visual C++ is Microsoft's implementation of the C and C++ compiler and associated languages-services and specific tools for integration with the Visual Studio IDE. It can compile either in C mode or C++ mode.
The compiled C++ program image consists of CPU machine code, which may run on a physical CPU, or on a virtual/emulated one. In normal usage, C++ programs run on physical hardware. A typical (hosted) C++ program requires an operating system for startup and uses it for I/O and other system calls. A freestanding C++ program (OS kernel, bootloader, etc) does not even need an OS to run.
