Daniel chose three options: Visual C++, ClangCL, and GCC under WSL (2?). He says that ClangCL "couples the LLVM compiler (commonly used by Apple) with the Visual Studio backend."
I'm unclear on what he means by the backend. Is ClangCL essentially the same as using LLVM for Windows with the Microsoft linker, or is there a difference in code generation?
- DannyBee 4y agoClang-cl is a driver for clang+llvm made for compatibility with cl.exe. It uses the llvm backend. Unless Daniel is using something special, he is incorrect. It is not the vs backend. Microsoft did have a clang frontend + c2 backend project, but I thought they deprecated it.
