(original) (raw)

I'm getting trouble using clang with compiled libc++ on MSVC.

1\. why clang chooses \`link\` over \`lld-link\` by default? I don't really wish to write \`-fuse-ld=lld-link\` every single time I build something.

2\. why \`lld-link\` doesn't search inside default \`lib\` directory? I need to manually show him where it is although I put that binary in \`\\lib\\\`

3\. why clang invokes linker with \`-defaultlib:libcmt\`? I mean libc++ build guide under MSVC produces -MD version of either \`libc++.lib\` or \`c++.lib\`

4\. Since (3), it's not possible to build anything without splitting compiler and linker calls - \`clang\` by default produces -MT versions of objects and linker fails to compose it with -MD library. No, \`-dynamic\` flag does not help either.

Any fixes to these? Can I config clang somehow except \`--config\` option?
