Summary0014458: Support clang-cl, clang's cl-compatible driver
DescriptionClang has recently developed a cl-compatible driver, clang-cl.

Configuring a project on Windows with cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang-cl still generates files that try to use the regular gcc-compatible clang options.

Would it be possible to teach cmake about this new driver mode?
Steps To Reproduce
Additional Informationclang-cl was announced at http://blog.llvm.org/2013/09/a-path-forward-for-llvm-toolchain-on.html, [^] and builds are available from http://llvm.org/builds/ [^]

Okay, I've installed both Clang for MinGW (see issue 0013035) and Clang CL and got things working. First I had to introduce the notion of one compiler simulating another, used to detect the difference between the GNU-like and MS-like Clang:

 CMakeDetermineCompilerId: Add notion of "simulated" id/version
 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=51ab85c3 [^]

Then I added the platform files to use this information to load either GNU or MSVC flags:

 Clang: Support Windows variants for GNU and MSVC
 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=3d8356d4 [^]

Please try out CMake from Git commit 3d8356d4.

FYI, you can even use the VS generator with the LLVM toolset like this:

 cmake ../src -G "Visual Studio 10" -T LLVM-vs2010

or

 cmake ../src -G "Visual Studio 11" -T LLVM-vs2012

I tried this out with CMake from http://www.cmake.org/files/dev/cmake-2.8.11.20131006-gd5ad0-win32-x86.zip [^] and it seems to work great. Thanks!
