Clang 14's <stdatomic.h> is incompatible with MSVC's <stdatomic.h> ☢️ · Issue #2862 · microsoft/STL (original) (raw)

This repros with Clang 14, when the STL's tests are compiled with the official toolset (instead of the microsoft/STL repo - the difference is in the header locations, because Clang overrides toolset headers).

tests/std/tests/P0943R6_stdatomic_h/test.compile.pass.cpp and the many tests including stl/inc/__msvc_all_public_headers.hpp fail due to Clang's <stdatomic.h>, like this:

As a workaround, we're going to avoid including <stdatomic.h> for Clang, but solving the root cause would be better.
