New submission from Ethan Smith <et...@ethanhs.me>: The clang folks have been hard at work making an ABI compatible backend to clang for Windows. Additionally they have created a cl compatible driver for clang, which can be used in lieu of cl itself. Clang-cl has been adopted to build Chrome on Windows http://blog.llvm.org/2018/03/clang-is-now-used-to-build-chrome-for.html, so I think it is stable enough to be considered for use.
Clang-cl has several advantages, such as computed goto support and many other optimizations which would make Python faster on Windows. I would be happy to start contributing patches to further this goal, I already have a couple of small patches. ---------- components: Build messages: 315721 nosy: Ethan Smith priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Support compiling with clang-cl on Windows type: enhancement versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33351> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
