I suspect the issue is going to be that no one has been effected enough
by this issue to be motivated to fix it. However, I know that any patch
contributed to fix this would be welcomed favorably.</div><div><br></div><div>This is a bit of the chicken and the egg problem. But if you look on GH, <a href="https://github.com/search?q=VS2017%20LLVM&type=Everything&repo=&langOverride=&start_value=1">https://github.com/search?q=VS2017%20LLVM&type=Everything&repo=&langOverride=&start_value=1</a>, you'll see that with one simple search there are already 3 projects trying to deal with this issue. As long as nobody makes it work, vs-users will have a possibly too big hurdle to pass. I personally don't have a problem, until LLVM 8, it'll keep working, and then it's a matter of changing 7 to 8 in a few files, that's not where the problem lies.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Another issue is f.e. that currently it is not possible to use lld (to take advantage of thin-lto) from the IDE. I'm reasonably confident MS is willing to cooperate to make that possible. So, this is a blocking issue.</div><div><br></div><div>degski<br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><i><b>"If something cannot go on forever, it will stop" - Herbert Stein</b></i><br></div></div>
