llvm dev - Nov 2017 - Need some help over here

Hi, guys.


Now let me apologize in advance here since this is an issue with the VS2017
IDE's support of LLVM/Clang that I thought I'd talk about here and then
take up to the guys at Microsoft.  Normally, if I just ask them, there's a
chance that they'll tell me to ask here.  So at least this way I'll
already have the response from here ready.


Anyway, there's more than one issue.

  1.  VS Debugger can't download necessary debugging symbols when the
compiler toolchain is set to LLVM/Clang (so I can't do any debugging or
stepping on breakpoints).
  2.  Can't set or change compiler switches like in Clang or GCC.  I
can't change the language standard or set flags like -pedantic or
-pedantic-errors.  There's only /Wall and some other MS-specific switches
  3.  LLVM (and also MSVC) don't see all errors when the code is in
templatized.  I had a class templated Link to use with another templated class
list, and I'd misspelled it in one place as "Linkk", yet LLVM nor
MSVC said anything.  And there were also some other error issues that seem like
standards-conformance issues.

Anyway, I want to know if there's a good IDE on Windows that directly
supports LLVM/Clang that I can use.  Basically a good way to use Clang on
Windows such that I don't need to use VS.  I think it'd help me out a
lot.

How about VS Code?  I don't think it's designed to be quite an IDE like
VS
however it might suit your needs anyways.

I suspect it would probably address one or more of your issues via
plugins.  You can actually use vim keybindings, which I thought was a
pretty keen feature.
