[cfe-dev] Testing Clang on Win32

[Francois Pichet]

If you don't want to hack around clang I suggest you use MinGW if you
are on windows. Yes it should work better than MSVC.

clang cannot compile headers file from MSVC 2008 or 2010 because some
Microsoft-extensions are not currently implemented in clang. I am
slowly working on this as a hobby. I don't think MSVC compatibility is
a priority for the main clang developers so it might take a while.
