For the curious, this will eventually integrate with Visual Studio.

I think this is awesome. Looking forward to libc++ being made to work on Windows. Then I will have a fully conformant c++ compiler and standard library across all the major platforms.

I am looking forward to the day when I can have a full Clang/LLVM environment on my Windows machines without relying on MinGW. Hopefully this year!

Not to be cynical, but what's in it for Apple?

Obviously someone at Apple decided this makes business sense. What's the thinking?

I believe it's mostly people at Google pushing this feature. I don't think Apple had much of a say in it.

PDB support is very sweet to have.

Oh sorry. I was under the impression that Apple was in charge of the LLVM project

... Even if they are, Google contributes tons of code. It's called open source for a reason.
