Details

I've been working on making bindgen work with MSVC target. It turns out that Clang 3.8 doesn't work well with MSVC 2015, since it doesn't support enough language extension from MSVC, so that it fails to parse some of the stdlib headers there. According to the user manual, it seems Clang 3.9 would well support MSVC 2015. I'll try that later.
So Clang SVN does work with our code with some additional flags specified.
Oh, this has been fixed with https://github.com/servo/servo/pull/12498 But people currently would still need to build Clang from trunk themselves to get things work.
