[cfe-dev] Current state of Microsoft extensions

[Leandro T. C. Melo]

Hi all,

as far as I understand, clang doesn't fully support the Microsoft 
extensions yet. I know there are options like -fms-extensions and others 
such as -fdelayed-template-parsing that can be useful. Still I gave it 
try with an up-to-date version of clang (VS 2010) for a file that simply 
#include <algorithm> and got quite a few errors.

I was told on IRC that there's been recent work in this area. So I'd 
like to kindly ask if someone could provide an overview of the current 
situation. Basically, an update of the statements from 
http://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html and 
http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStartedVS.html concerning the Microsoft 
environment. Perhaps there's a more detailed list of what can be 
expected, what is missing, what's currently on the way, where help is 
needed, etc?


Cheers,
Leandro
