[cfe-dev] Clang on Windows targteing gcc compiles very slowly

[Francois Pichet]

I just noticed that assert is turned on even in Release on Windows
Is that on purpose? (seems like a bug to me)

Anyway if I build clang with "LLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS:BOOL=OFF" the build
get stuck at verifier.cpp from LLVMCore. CL.exe is stuck in an infinite
loop.

I am using MSVC 2013 Update 5.
