Testing clang in Windows using VC++ RTL with Boost libraries
I have been trying to test clang in Windows using the VC++ RTL with Boost libraries but I am unable to do so with the clang toolset in Boost Build. The main reason for this is that clang in the configuration I want to test only takes a subset of the gcc command-line options but the Boost Build clang toolset is for clang on Linux ( or a Unix-like environment on Windows like cygwin or MingW/msys ). I am neither knowledgable enough or willing enough to try to create such a Boost Build toolset myself. So I am going to stop. I wish the clang people and Chandler Carruth best of luck getting it to work for Windows using VC++ RTL.

I reported a similar problem on the boost-build mailing list some time ago: http://lists.boost.org/boost-build/2013/10/27013.php I guess nothing has been done, and like you I'm not knowledgeable to fix it.

Yeah. I guess we wait until someone with the time and knowledge fixes it. -- Eric Niebler Boost.org http://www.boost.org

I also posted a message to the Boost Build forum recently about the need for a toolset with clang support for Windows using the VC++ RTL, but it was ignored.
