Okay.

You seem to be struggling with the need to name the binary 'cl.exe'. Last time I checked, we installed clang-cl.exe under that name in a specialized director specifically so you can use build systems relying on that name.

Right, but:

  1. The existence of a binary named cl.exe isn't enough; depending on the circumstances, the build system may look specifically in the visual studio directory. Of course, you could do the rename/copy by hand, but it's better to have it automated, particularly since in practice there is a need to switch back and forth.

  2. Python at least needs to have it switchable specifically for 32-bit or 64-bit builds.

  3. wic also supplies the option -Wno-invalid-token-paste which is necessary for compatibility with the Microsoft preprocessor. I intend adding other options as needed.

  4. Hopefully can also substitute calls to the llvm linke when that's ready for prime time. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/attachments/20150710/ccae4f66/attachment.html>
