[cfe-dev] Using clang on Windows

[Ernest Zaslavsky via cfe-dev]

Greetings List,

I would like to use clang on Windows, mostly for all these tools available with clang like modernize or tidy. However, I'm stuck at very basic stage of building thirdparties, namely boost. I cannot build it using b2, OTOH boost does not have clang in compatible compilers list for windows, so, I guess it is dead end. On the other hand most of boost usage is via NuGet packages which includes all necessary headers/sources right into VS project. I have clang 3.8 installed and if I try to build it using LLVM toolset from within VS2015 it fails with compilation errors, again, boost related.

So, the questions are is it possible at all to use clang on windows to build a decent sized project? Does anyone have successful experience building boost on windows? Does anyone have experience building large project using clang directly from VS?

Thanks!
