I don't know of any good examples unfortunately :/ Our user manual is not great in this respect. There are basically two ways of using clang on Windows. You can either use it as you would use gcc in a MinGW environment. clang and clang++ are designed to take the same command-line arguments as gcc and g++. The other, newer and more experimental way, is to use clang in a Visual Studio environment. They easiest way to do this is to run Clang inside an environment set up by Visual Studio's envsetup.bat and then use clang-cl.exe instead of cl.exe. clang-cl will look for headers and libraries the same way that cl.exe does, and accept (mostly) the same command-line arguments. clang-cl can also be used from inside the Visual Studio IDE by selecting LLVM as the Platform Toolset in the project properties.
