I think Clang, on/for windows, should give a compile time flag/option that can be used to control it (A flag when set make compile-time operator like sizeoff to behave like MSVC or non-MSVC) As in the current form it is breaking building of cross-platform application.
With C++11 onward many things are incorporated in standard so that one code base can be used across platform. Now if compiler is blocking the flow then it seems moving back to pre C++11.

I don't think there's a way to use the same ABI on both platforms - especially not if you are interacting with any code compiled by another compiler on both platforms (existing/foregin C++ precompiled libraries).

We observed that sizeof operator gives different value on Windows and Linux/OSX, when the inheritance is from a common base class: Example Sample: #include <cassert> struct Base {}; // empty class struct Derived1 : Base { int i; }; struct Derived2 : Base { Base c; // Base, occupies 1 byte, followed by padding for i int i; }; struct Derived3 : Base { Derived1 c; // Derived1 is too derived from same Base class int i; }; int main() { assert<https://ind01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.cppreference.com%2Fw%2Fcpp%2Ferror%2Fassert&data=04%7C01%7Cvivek.pandey%40tallysolutions.com%7C1a2156b9e1d146b7360608d8c3d71ae2%7C66bcd9b727254893bb969ae424774af6%7C0%7C0%7C637474675935486094%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=NYeOWjC%2B0xhCxaFWPvJTpcN9xvz8uCZDV5gAKEan8J0%3D&reserved=0>(sizeof(Derived2) == 2*sizeof(int)); assert<https://ind01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.cppreference.com%2Fw%2Fcpp%2Ferror%2Fassert&data=04%7C01%7Cvivek.pandey%40tallysolutions.com%7C1a2156b9e1d146b7360608d8c3d71ae2%7C66bcd9b727254893bb969ae424774af6%7C0%7C0%7C637474675935496090%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=ymboJjAMIu8lm26ZdA7L%2FArWNyxIUUu96c89R5f4oR8%3D&reserved=0>(sizeof(Derived3) == 3*sizeof(int)); } When we compile above program using Clang 11 and run it on windows and Linux sizeof(Derived3) give different value. We don’t want a work-around via making first data member of derived class of type different from class that also is derived from same empty base class. Is there any flag that we can use so that it gives same result on all platform (Windows/Linux/OSX/Android/iOS/….) Or another way to solve this gracefully. Thank you!
