some of my project using boost building with clang-cl but there are
still some libraries that don't

is there any official interest in supporting clang-cl or is it up to a
library maintainer to support it?

many project of mine building better and better, boost 1.73 currently is
neary full useable with clang-cl

without any problems

today i tried to compile a 600KLOC project and it failed with the same
problem Libreoffice got

they are using a patch to "fix" its used boost version

https://github.com/LibreOffice/core/blob/62808ef28e05eee4945a6a15d981350d1306b848/external/boost/clang-cl.patch.0

https://github.com/boostorg/thread/issues/286

"clang-cl defines _MSC_VER by ms-compatibility but BOOST_MSVC will not
be set." still a problem?

there are some Issues reported but i don't know if fixes are wanted of
if there is a strategy to

support clang-cl out of the box
