+MSVC Extensions
+===============
+
+Clang supports a number of extensions inorder to imitate MSVC.
+Some of these extensions are behind ``-fms-compatibility`` and ``-fms-extensions`` which
+are further described in :doc:`MSVCCompatibility`.

+MSVC Reference Binding

+Please see the `MSDN doc
+<https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/zc-referencebinding-enforce-reference-binding-rules>`_
+for more information on this non-conforming C++ extension.
+
+MSVC allows user-defined type temporaries to be bound to non-const lvalue references when ``/permissive``
+or ``/Zc:referenceBinding-`` are given on the command line.
+
+The current default behavior as of MSVC 1940 is ``/permissive``.
+As of Visual Studio 2017, ``/permissive-`` is the default for projects meaning C++ conformance is enforced when
+building with MSVC in Visual Studio.
+
+This MSVC extension can be enabled with ``-fms-reference-binding`` with the clang or cl driver.
+This MSVC extension can be enabled with ``/Zc:referenceBinding-`` with the cl driver.
