Not so fast.... the actual command line generated is:

compile-c-c++ 
..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\config\test\config_info.test\clang-vc14-win-3
.9.0\debug\config_info.obj

@"..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\config\test\config_info.test\clang-vc14-win-3.9.0\debug\config_info.obj.rsp"

So the @ causes the line to be ignored I think?

And user-config.jam has:

using clang-win : 3.7 : "C:/Progra~2/MICROS~4.0/VC/Clang 
3.7/bin/x86/clang.exe" : <cxxflags>-std=c++11 <compatibility>vc14 ;
