[cmake-developers] Update on toolset Clang with Microsoft CodeGen (v140_clang_c2) debug is broken

[Egor Pugin]

Clang/C2 is abandoned by MS. Look for some reddit posts by STL there.
Clang/LLVM (5.0+) must be used with the VS2017(.3?) and higher. On
older versions you can easily get endless list of errors.
CMake needs to be tuned in terms of command line flags. I saw the same
issue today.
