Just curious, but if you're already built on top of llvm, why not bundle clang for that? Licensing issues? I thought NCSA was pretty permissive.
- steveklabnik 9y agoThat works if you can actually compile the code yourself, I left out the "if you want to link to a pre-compiled library that was compiled with MSVC" case. Basically, MSVC is the default, standard way to access C code on the platform, so we work with it by default. We also provide other options if you want to do it other ways, through things like the GNU target.
- mrec 9y agoAh, gotcha. Thanks for clarifying.
