Hi, am I correct that autolinking is not supported by Boost when using Clang on Windows? To be clear, I'm talking about both clang++ and clang-cl drivers.
The behavior I observe suggests that I am correct but looking at the autolink.hpp header I didn't understand how it decides if it should work or not.
Clang on Windows targeting vc++ supports autolink, clang on Windows targeting gcc doe3s not support autolink.
Thanks, though I think I already understood this if you are talking about Clang in general (outside the specific context of compiling Boost). My issue is in the context of using Boost: it seems that the autolink code in Boost is not working even if I use clang++ or clang-cl targeting Windows (using msvc's runtime, linker etc.). I suspect that this case is not allowed by the option macros that activate autolink on windows when msvc/cl is used. My suspicion comes from the fact that indeed clang does have autolink support in that situation, but it still doesn't find the libraries. I didn't find documentation for that particular case, so I am looking for a confirmation that Boost does not support that case. Joël
