Using Clang (7.0) on Windows to Build Code::Blocks for Windows
« on: November 20, 2018, 02:25:44 pm »
Hello. I have build pdfium library(pdfium.lib about 2MB) in Windows 10.
I am trying to compile and link a simple command prompt C::B project 
Code
#include "fpdfview.h"
int main()
{
    FPDF_STRING test_doc = "test_doc.pdf";
    FPDF_DOCUMENT doc = FPDF_LoadDocument(test_doc, NULL);
    return 0;
}

As i see building with ninja, the line has clang compiler, and not clang++.exe but clang-cl.exe.
My question is how to put all those thinks to set compiler and linker with write way?
Thank you
Jim.

I suggest not using a "Subject" that has little to do with your question as a way to get faster help!

I have no idea on how to use "clang-cl.exe" inside Code::Blocks.

Take a look at llvm.org.  Don't believe CB supports Clang, nor many other compilers.

Can you prove this statement? C::B supports many different compilers... And I'm sure it could be configured to work with the Visual studio compatible clang driver.

@dkaip: I'd start with a visual studio based compiler and I'd replace the toolchain path and the executable names. Also I'd use cmd.exe window to see what commands I need to execute then I'll compare them against what C::B is producing in the build log.

I totally agree with Tim.

Using clang compiler inside C::B should not be that hard.
If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.
If they happened together, then turn them to classes.
