Hi Björn, 

It's been a decade or two since I used #import, so I could be 
misremembering, but here's an idea: 

#import of x.tlb generates two files: x.tlh and x.tli. They are (heavily 
VC-specific) C++ sources.

If you can get your VC build to generate those, and #include the tlh and 
compile the tli as a source file in your Clang build, I think Clang 
supports enough language features for it to work. 

Fingers crossed, 
- Kim

Hello everyone, 

currently I'm converting some old visual studio projects for the use with 
the clang compiler. Everything was fine, until I hit the following line: 
#import <file.tlb> rename("SendMessage", "SendMessage")


Clang stop the work and complained: 
error : #import of type library is an unsupported Microsoft feature


I get it - this doesn't work, but is there no workaround or another 
solution for this problem? 

Kind regards 
Björn
