New submission from Tatsunori Uchino:
Microsoft released a new compiler for VC++ that complies with more of modern
C++ than the standard compiler.
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2016/03/31/clang-with-microsoft-codegen-march-2016-released/
Is it possible to support it by creating a new script based on
Lib/distutils/msvccompiler.py to Lib/distutils and adding a new item in the
following dictionary in Lib/distutils/ccompiler.py?
compiler_class = { 'unix':('unixccompiler', 'UnixCCompiler',
"standard UNIX-style compiler"),
'msvc':('_msvccompiler', 'MSVCCompiler',
"Microsoft Visual C++"),
'cygwin': ('cygwinccompiler', 'CygwinCCompiler',
"Cygwin port of GNU C Compiler for Win32"),
'mingw32': ('cygwinccompiler', 'Mingw32CCompiler',
"Mingw32 port of GNU C Compiler for Win32"),
'bcpp':('bcppcompiler', 'BCPPCompiler',
"Borland C++ Compiler"),
}
The executable of it is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
14.0\VC\ClangC2\bin\amd64. The help message of it is:
