Not immediately, I don't think we should give up on the stability that currently exists with the cl based compilation. However, I think once CPython on clang-cl becomes stable, it will be compelling to switch. Clang-cl has the benefit of backwards compatibility with existing MSVC compiled c extensions, while generating a faster interpreter (perhaps 30% faster or more!). * Are you able to provide a machine to run buildbots on? I'm afraid not, I am just a college student :) ---------- _______________________________________ 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
