[cfe-dev] Multiple versions of VS

[Ammarguellat, Zahira via cfe-dev]

Or in other words can I compile with clang (built with VS2015/VS2017 soon for instance) using VS2013/VS2015 headers?

Hans, Reid,

Sorry I was a bit unclear in my message. What I meant to say is when I generate a clang binary, can I compile with this binary, code, using older versions of VS?
Some features need use of runtime libraries (size operator delete, thread_local)?

Thanks.

Oh, I see in http://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32059, you mean support for compiling clang itself?

There are no plans to support compiling Clang with earlier versions of VS, as it doesn't support all the C++ features that Clang uses.
