[cfe-dev] size_t redefinition error with --target=wasm on Windows

[Dan Gohman via cfe-dev]

Hello Bill,

Using MSVC x86 header files to compile for wasm32 isn't currently a
supported configuration. System header files are typically tied to a
corresponding runtime library, so in addition to clang not supporting this
yet, there's no wasm32 version of the MSVC runtime libraries that you could
link with even if it did compile.

The WASI project provides a set of header files that use can be used with
clang's wasm32 support, which may be useful here:

An "SDK" which builds a clang and wasi-sysroot configured to be used
together is here:
