[cfe-dev] anyone knows the current state of libc++ on windows?

[Yaron Keren]

Hi Dennis,

I routinely compile libc++ & libcxxabi with clang as compiler and link with
MinGW 4.8.2 (gcc calling ld) as an replacement for libstdc++. It builds and
overall works. I have run the tests some while ago, most passed but there
were failures, have not looked in depth.

libc++ compiled with gcc - gcc 4.7 could not handle some of the "advanced"
C++ code in libcxx. Have not tested with 4.8 or the just released 4.9.

libc++ with Visual C++ - there were multiple C++ compatibility problems
even with VC 2013.
Someone named "G M" had tried this for a while and some of his patches were
comitted, search on the list for "G M".
The latest Visual C++ is 2013 Update 2, MS are imporving VC C++ support
every version, you can try building libcxx with it and see what fails now.
The free express version is available here
