<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> I’d just like to interject to say that building within Visual Studio isn’t really that bad. Running the lit tests is a bit painful because the LLVM build tools that are integrated with the build system don’t play nice with msbuild. Particularly,
I’ve never been able to actually cancel an invocation of lit or tablegen via visual studio. That said, there is a huge upside to building with Visual Studio: actually being able to use the debugger.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Honestly, I find this “just use ninja” attitude frustrating and troubling. If there are pain points with using MSVC or make or whatever, we should be trying to fix then, not just throwing our hands up in the air giving up. In my opinion,
most of the issues surrounding using make or msbuild stem from the fact that nobody is using these build systems, so nobody is fixing the issues. I feel that we should be encouraging people to use the build system that they prefer, and encouraging people to
fix the build system to work well with their chosen build system. This is the only way that things will get better.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Sudhindra, to answer your question, I would also recommend upgrading to Visual Studio 2019 if you can. I just tried to directly run ASTMatcherTests from Visual Studio 2019 and it worked for me. I have no experience with the GTest IDE
plugin, I’ve always just ran GTest binaries directly. There’s also a check-clang (I think that’s the one you want. It might be called something else but it’s definitely there) target in there that is equivalent to the Ninja check-clang target. These check
targets are weird because to run them you have to do “build” from Visual Studio. If you try to actually run the target it won’t work. This is one of those things that would probably get fixed if people actually used the LLVM Visual Studio project.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
