clang Windows snapshots

[LB]

Apparently, LLVM now has Windows snapshot builds for clang:

I found it through this blog post:

Has anyone tried it out? I don't have VC++2012 Professional or VC++2010 Professional to test with, and I already have a self-made build of clang.

What I'm concerned about is the standard library - does it use MS'? Can you switch it out for another, or are you stuck with a not-fully-implemented C++ standard library?

Apparently, yes.

Currently, the package only includes clang, clang-format, lld, and the AddressSanitizer runtime from compiler-rt, but eventually it should grow to encompass other Clang tools, lldb, and possibly other LLVM projects such as libc++.

The Microsoft implementation of the standard library is a fairly good one.

The combination of clang++ - Miscrosoft standard library is a better option than either
VS2013 compiler (almost there, but not quite) - Miscosoft standard library (pretty good)
or g++ (as good as clang++) - libstdc++ (pretty bad).

I haven't tried it out, but it seems that the Professional edition is required only for the clang-format plugin.
