[cfe-dev] Windows PDATA/XDATA for Clang Inline Assembly

[Hayden Livingston via cfe-dev]

Thank you, Reid for this reply and all the work you (and others) do to
help Windows users of LLVM/Clang.

And this works for ARM64 as well?

is a couple of years old but you ask someone to see if they would add
support I don't know if that ever made it.
