currently understand all of the Microsoft extensions to C and C++. Because of
this, clang cannot parse the C++ standard library included with Visual Studio,
nor parts of the Windows Platform SDK. However, most standard C programs do
compile. Clang can be used to emit bitcode, directly emit object files or
