There is, or was, an open-source plugin to drive Clang from VS in native mode; if that still exists it might be a decent starting point. The Sony toolkit for PS4 uses Visual Studio to drive clang, a proprietary linker, and proprietary debugger for cross-building and debugging. Also some other tools IIRC. We use a VS plugin to make this all work smoothly, although I don't know any details about it. This is to say it's all possible, although like everyone else I'm not aware of any worked example targeting Linux. --paulr > > > > > -eric > > > > On Sat, Aug 8, 2020 at 12:00 AM John Emmas via cfe-users <cfe- > us...@lists.llvm.org> wrote: > >> > >> On 04/08/2020 14:46, John Emmas wrote: > >> > I read somewhere that the clang devs and Microsoft were collaborating > >> > to make Visual Studio compatible with clang. > >> > > >> > So what's the situation if I want to compile some C++ code for Linux? > >> > [...] Is there a Linux version of Visual Studio available now?
