clang-cl is a replacement for MSVC's cl.exe compiler. It's meant to be a mostly drop-in replacement. In particular, it's meant to be ABI and runtime compatible with MSVC (so MSVC runtime is still needed here). By allowing clang-cl, we can have a compiler that allows for more modern standards.

Left to do:

  • Pull in changes required in the ftl output concerning quirky gettimeofday code.
  • Fix the use of __FUNCTION_NAME__ as a string-literal in enc-amf.
  • Test for regressions.

I think at this point we're still fine with the msvc compiler. Might be something we want in the future though, so it's not completely out of the question.
