Michael Spencer has done a great investigation on this.

A quick summary of some issues:

Basically Clang cannot self-host at the moment due to the Microsoft C
runtime being non-conforming to C99. Mingw/cygwin works.

Most of the headers can be parsed, with the exception of MFC and ATL
headers.

Exception handling doesn't work.

Clang does not support VC-style inline assembly syntax.

There's no drop-in for cl.exe at the moment.

No PDB debug information is generated, rendering debugging quite useless.
