Re: [boost] current situation with clang-cl?

12 Aug 2020

      small test with 1.74-beta looks better

---------
#include 
#include 

int main()
{
   return 0;
}
---------

does compile without a problem with current 1.74-beta

but now the linker is telling me that i need to have a clangw10 build of
boost

lld-link : error : could not open
'libboost_serialization-clangw10-mt-gd-x32-1_74.lib': no such file or
directory

the nature of clang-cl is a easy binary and feature compatible drop in
replacement for the microsoft-cl
until 1.74 there was no need to prepare a descent build of boost for clang
i switch multiple times per day between microsoft-cl and clang-cl
(because clang-cl gives better diagnostics)
this switching works with all (~10-20 libs) of my non-boost third party
libs without the need for a descent build - why do boost
need that?, or did i configure something wrong?

some of my project using boost building with clang-cl but there are
still some libraries that don't
is there any official interest in supporting clang-cl or is it up to a
library maintainer to support it?
There are no official testers running clang-cl, as far as I can see:
https://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/summary.html
However, CI configs for many libraries do include clang-cl jobs. So the
support is each library maintainer's initiative.
You can try filing PRs improving support for clang-cl to given libraries.
Older versions of clang-cl were too broken to be supported, so don't
expect those to work. And probably don't bother creating PRs adding
workarounds for them. Newer versions seem to be better, though.

"clang-cl defines _MSC_VER by ms-compatibility but BOOST_MSVC will not
be set." still a problem?
BOOST_MSVC is not supposed to be defined for clang-cl.
