Go to Visual C + + to consolidate clang

The Visual C + + update released by Microsoft in November will integrate the clang open source C and C + + compilers, and developers will be able to compile Windows applications with clang. Visual Studio 2015 has integrated the Clang compiler, but it is used for app development on Android and iOS, and this time the integration is used to develop Windows programs. Visual C + + consists of multiple parts, including a front-end compiler that generates an abstract syntax tree representing the contents of the program, and the backend compiler reads the abstract syntax tree to generate the execution code. The front-end compiler is called C1, and the backend is called C2, developed by different teams of Microsoft. The latest consolidation will replace C1 with Clang, and the backend continues with C2. Microsoft launches CLANG/C2 for Windows to improve cross-platform support.
