Hey All! I just wanted to see if anyone here has tried using the LLVM/clang toolchain on Windows for any considerable amount of time? I've been dabbling with it for a little bit on Windows and it seems okay so far. What I'm really wondering is what the debugging is like, given they only recently (as of late last year I believe?) started supporting the PDB file format for debug info. Is it comparable to MSVC? Would it be feasible to switch over to using it for some of my bigger projects?

I wanted to point to this page, but I don't know if it's up to date.
I only have a small experience with clang on windows (see this post) but it seem to work fine on a 20k lines project. A problem is that it compiles slower than CL on my machine. I haven't encounter any problem while debugging, but haven't done a lot of that using clang.

Chrome on Windows since v64 is built with clang: http://blog.llvm.org/2018/03/clan...now-used-to-build-chrome-for.html
I would say it is tried pretty extensively :)
Debug information should work fine with MSVC debugger. Except some more advanced features like Edit & Continue.
