Hi Hannes, Just a clarification: Does that mean only MSVC the compiler isn't supported anymore, but the Microsoft C++ Standard Library still works [1]? As you said, clang-cl is ABI compatible with MSVC, so I don't care which compiler is used to compiled v8, as long as I can link v8 with other code.
It's not always possible to use libc++ on Windows. In my case it's the precompiled Qt (possibly Qt works with libc++ on Windows, but I think it's unsupported). Mixing two huge libraries which require different C++ standard libraries wouldn't be fun. Additionally, I use closed source SDK's which mandate the Microsoft C++ standard library. I probably can't convince you if you want to support only libc++ on Windows, but I hope the Microsoft standard library is still supported so that v8 can be used in a standard Windows executable (fingers crossed).
