[cfe-dev] VS2017: LLVM Compiler Toolchain Plugin

[Stephen Kelly via cfe-dev]

The suggestion here is to make than an off-by-default option in Clang-CL:

  https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31957

I think it should be on by default (and not optional), but maybe you are 
interested in it.

Thanks from me for the VS infrastructure. I wrote about it here:

 
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2018/09/18/exploring-clang-tooling-part-0-building-your-code-with-clang/

and will have follow-up posts out soon made possible by it!

Thanks,

Stephen.
