While the patch description seems to make sense, I wanted to try it out to see the practical effect for myself, and I fail to observe any difference.

Can you provide your exact configure command line you use, where it makes a difference? I tried with "--cc=clang-cl --ld=lld-link --toolchain=msvc"
and that works just as fine before this patch.

In particular, the commands that you adjust run "$_cc -nologo-" and grep for "Microsoft" in the output of that. When I run that with clang-cl, it
doesn't print a string containing "Microsoft".

Hi,

Yes you are right. In case of CC it doesn't change anything. clang-cl
prints installation dir only with `-v`. The main thing this patch
fixes is `--ar=llvm-ar` where it is mistaken for lib.exe and used with
wrong parameters. While fixing this I figured to make CC check also
more strict, because at some point it could be a problem. Sync all of
them to have same style as one that was already there

Oh, ok, with the reference to llvm-ar, I see what it fixes. Thanks! The reference to llvm-ar absolutely needs to be in the patch description then.

I remember that there has been some variance throughout the versions for exactly what MSVC prints as the identification thoughout the versions, but
I think 'Microsoft.*Optimizing.*Compiler' should be safe.


I was wondering if non-english locale would translate that string, but
I can't easily test that, I don't think.


Sorry, need to correct myself. It is indeed localized I was just lacking
the language pack…

For example in german it is:

Microsoft (R) C/C++-Optimierungscompiler Version 19.30.30709 für x64
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. Alle Rechte vorbehalten.

So, should we scale back on this patch to only extend the regex for lib.exe (to 'Microsoft.*Library.*Manager') but leave the one for cl.exe as it is? Marvin verified that lib.exe doesn't seem to print a localized message, only cl.exe seems to do that. Otherwise there's a risk we'd break the currently working detection of cl.exe for users of localized MSVC.
