[cfe-dev] Workaround for #import

[Kim Gräsman via cfe-dev]

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
