Add native support for llvm-clang in win10 with clion and make the compiler change easy.
Answered
In windows10, I want to change the compiler from GCC（mingw） to Clang，but failed. The setting never works. In future version, could you please add native support for clang(like mingw, WSL, visual studio, cygwin eg..) so than I can easily change my compiler(after install llvm, just choose the path than work). thanks a lot

Hi! For now in order to use clang in CLion on Windows, you need to install it either in MinGW or Cygwin.

Hi,
Please reconsider this stance. Clang is quickly becoming our default compiler on Windows because it is significantly higher quality than CL.exe. It's important for my work that Windows C++ binaries are compatible with the system libraries, so MinGW and Cygwin are not options.
The lack of interest in supporting Clang on Windows is the single most important thing for me in an IDE. I love IntelliJ when I worked in Java, so a CLion with Windows + Clang support would be an instant and obvious choice.
Thanks,
Chris
