LLVM news for Windows
In many news about Clang on Habré, I watched the same question: “when will normal Windows support?”.
I am sure that those who ask such questions will be interested in the latest news from the world of LLVM.
“In recent months, Google programmers and other members of the LLVM community have begun to actively work to make the LLVM toolchain for Windows so that it supports the full development of applications for this platform, as well as helped improve it. This toolchain works with Visual Studio and the Windows development process that developers are used to. We want to cross threads (remember “Ghostbusters”?) IDE Visual Studio and LLVM utilities for working with C ++ to allow developers to more productively create C ++ applications.
To achieve this, we have worked hard to ensure the compatibility of Clang and LLD (LLVM linker) with Visual Studio and native C ++ code. Today, as announced in my presentation at GoingNative 2013, we can already compile Clang with simple C ++ programs and then compose them with native C ++ libraries, and then use them, including some rather interesting new ways. This is a great achievement for our project and we are glad that we can tell you about it. Many people gathered in LLVM to make the code for this project open - thanks to each of you!
')
Now we would like to increase the level of involvement in the project of developers under Windows. We are launching on llvm.org the opportunity to download the latest alpha build of Clang, LLD, and other LLVM utilities for Windows. These builds greatly simplify testing and experimentation with LLVM utilities in your development environment. Try them and if you find any mistakes - tell us about them, please. We will be especially grateful if you help us improve LLVM with your patches ! Keep in mind - the haircut has just begun, so these builds are still focused on developers who want to help us find and understand our mistakes; assemblies themselves will be updated frequently as errors are corrected.
There is still a lot of work ahead to make LLVM full support for the Windows platform. Join us - your patches will help us a lot!

Ps this is my first post, please treat the errors condescendingly (here you can not put a smiley).
