Chandler Carruth has asked for a volunteer to start running boost regression tests for the Clang on Windows project.
For more about this project, see http://blog.llvm.org/2013/09/**a-path-forward-for-llvm-** toolchain-on.htmlhttp://blog.llvm.org/2013/09/a-path-forward-for-llvm-toolchain-on.html .
Chandler cornered me at the C++ committee meeting last week, and emphasized how much they would like to see boost tests passing using Clang in a Visual Studio environment. This would be a big plus for boost developers and users in the Windows environment IMO, so I hope we can help them out.
FWIW, I started on a Clang regression (using some mgw-w64 version), but quit when I found that it would only build static libraries, which caused a huge swath of tests to fail for that reason alone.
I don't recall it misbehaving badly in other cases, though I may not have looked too closely.

I believe Chandler is talking about Clang using the 'native' libraries/headers/etc which is VERY different to using mingw-w64. Having test runners for both would be ideal, but a test runner for the 'native' case only would be preferable to the 'mingw-w64' case only (imo)...
