Re: [cfe-users] Clang (with Visual Studio) wrongly complains about missing variables

Many thanks Dave, Over on llvm-dev a contributer called Hans found this on Microsoft's MSDN site:- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cpp/defining-inline-cpp-functions-with-dllexport-and-dllimport So the current theory is that Microsoft's compiler can indeed inline DLL functions - but

I just found something else which might be significant... I noticed that when linking this exe, I had a linker option enabled called /FORCE:MULTIPLE If I remove that option, the Clang linker then gives me a list of about a dozen duplicated symbols. And with that option I get a similarly

Re: [cfe-users] Clang (with Visual Studio) wrongly complains about missing variables

Many thanks Jeff & David, Overnight I remembered that Visual Studio itself offers a specific option to disable inline function expansion. For MSVC itself, this gets done by setting a compiler option called "/Ob" ("/Ob0" indicates disabled). If "/Ob0" isn't specified at compile time,

[cfe-users] Building with Clang (on Windows) - but for Linux

Sorry about the confusing subject line!! I use Visual Studio 2019 on Windows 10 and I've just installed something called WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) which allows it to build apps for Linux. A big part of this involves installing a Linux distro and I've chosen Debian (mostly it just

Thanks Paul - I found some instructions for installing WSL and Linux here:- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10 and I've managed to get it all installed without any problems - but I can't seem to run it :-( Basically... it needs me to use Windows PowerShell to enable

[cfe-users] Compiling for Linux (with Visual Studio and Clang)

Hi there... back in 2019 I read somewhere that the clang devs and Microsoft were collaborating to make Visual Studio compatible with clang. IIRC the goal was to be able to use Visual Studio to build programs for both Windows and Linux. I tested Visual Studio with clang (on Windows) and I
