ishani / clangvsx Goto Github PK

Currently it simply refuses to compile anything other than console apps.
Would be great if it could at least compile the files for now, so you get diagnostics.

Hi there!

Thanks for this fancy piece of work! I patched clang as you suggested.

I've discovered some issues:
1)ClangVSx - For Testing.AddIn included into the solution points to C:\Users\Harry\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Addins\ClangVSx - For Testing.AddIn but is not added

2)Messages on every compilation
clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-fdelayed-template-parsing'
clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-fdiagnostics-format=msvc'

3)With "-v" option, clang writes that
ignoring duplicate directory "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.0A/include"
ignoring duplicate directory "c:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0/VC/include"
ignoring duplicate directory "c:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0/VC/atlmfc/include"
ignoring duplicate directory "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.0A/include"

ignoring duplicate directory "c:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0/VC/include"
ignoring duplicate directory "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.0A/include"

4)Well... it does not work for me at all :) Here is the log

When trying to download the pre-built version from Github:

ClangVSx-0.3.zip — Built version of 0.3 (2012-05-28) ready to drop into VS2010

A "File was not found" error appears on the webpage. ClangVSx-0.2.zip downloads correctly.

I guess the easiest way would be to just leave forced includes like they are. Then the compiler does the job of searching it.

I use ClangVSx to get better error messages, and to diagnose msvc crashes. I also use exceptions in my program, which clang can't compile. So, there were more than 5 files that didn't compile, and ClangVSx stopped compiling before getting to the real problem, and without telling me why (I had to open it in the debugger to find what was wrong.)

So, it would be very helpful to have a "More than x errors, stopping compilation" message. Personally I would just disable this feature, since most build systems don't have it.

CVXBuildSystem.cs:1069

       if (linkProcess.ExitCode != 0)
        {
          WriteToOutputPane("LTO-Opt failed.\n" + linkProcess.StartInfo.Arguments + "\n");
+          WriteToOutputPane(outputStr);
          return false;
        }
        WriteToOutputPane(outputStr);

If I'm not mistaken, VS addin support is getting dropped for VS 2015 (doesn't work in RC already); what are the plans, if any, to port this to a VS extension?

Or is the add-in getting dropped completely for the native support that's been rumored to be coming for Windows development with Clang on VS (not the mobile development that's already in RC) ?

I have VS2013 on a seperate HDD, not sure if that is the issue, but the short of it is the lib.exe and link.exe are not being pathed too.

I manually went in and added my path to VS2013 in place of the path gotten from VS110COMNTOOLS and then built the solution and it now works.

I recommend a short term fix of adding an optional user input for the folder path of their VS2013 in the option window opened from the clang menu.

Thank you for making this!

I just installed the latest binaries. Compiling an individual file via the context menu works (after working around #13). However, choosing Clang->Rebuild Active Project gives

ClangVSx 0.5 | LLVM/Clang C++ Compiler Bridge | www.ishani.org

Exception During Build : 
The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG))

It would be helpful to have some logging to dig into the problem. Or if it's already there, some mention of it in the docs.

qmake automatically adds something like '-Zm200 -w33000' to the commandline with VS2010.
Response: clang: error: unsupported use of internal gcc -Z option

The homepage and the README.md keep talking about a prebuilt zip for VS10 and VS12, but never links them anywhere. There are no zip files or binaries in the repository either. I have spent almost half an hour looking for them everywhere, googling them, etc. without any luck.

just like Ctrl+F7 in vanilla VS.
Would be great.

When building with VS10 and adding it to the Addin folder, VS10 complains about an exception in an addin and suggests removing it. When choosing to not remove it and restarting VS10, the message does not appear, but there is no Clang menu.

Maybe for a single file as a start and later for a whole project with some sort of visualization, either directly in VS or via some xml/html output or whatever :)

Will this work with the new 2013 version of Visual Studio? I'm kind of stuck using the new version for work but would rather use clang.

I have installed the most recent version of ClangVSx and the prebuilt Christmas 2012 of Clang. I have tested Clang manually from the command prompt and it works. When I try to build a project in Visual Studio using Clang, I get the following error:
Could not find lib.exe, check ClangVSx Settings - tried:
C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\bin\lib.exe

However, I installed Visual Studio to a different location:
E:\Programs\VisualStudio2012
The lib.exe file is present in E:\Programs\VisualStudio2012\VC\bin
How can I configure ClangVSx to look in the correct location?
