I have:

import option ; using clang-win : : "C:\\Program Files\\LLVM\\bin\\clang-cl.exe" "-fuse-ld=lld" : ... ;

output:

C:/boost/tools/build/src/tools\clang-win.jam:74: in clang-win.init *** argument error * rule path.native ( path ) * called with: ( C:\Program Files\LLVM\bin\clang-cl.exe -fuse-ld=lld ) * extra argument -fuse-ld=lld

So, this syntax does not seem to be accepted by b2.

As it is, for me, easier to write some C++-code than to try and figure out bjam-code, I wrote a wrapper https://github.com/degski/clang-cl around clang-cl.exe [yes, it's not pretty, but on the other hand, gives me full control, I can parse the arguments and decide whatever] to solve the above problem. For now I can see 1 regression, I'm going to look into that. degski -- *“If something cannot go on forever, it will stop" - Herbert Stein*
