Clang-MSVC is not an open alternative without MS software. It's still using MS software. It's just a better compiler than MS's. Clang-mingw and GCC-mingw are open alternatives. Both have very good compilers. I don't know whether either has already solved the thread_local problem -- if any of them have, I'd strongly recommend we switch to that and ban the other (note: the issue is libgcc and libcompiler-rt, not the compilers themselves). -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel DPG Cloud Engineering _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
