clang-cl can also be used from inside Visual Studio by selecting the LLVM

Platform Toolset. The toolset is not part of the installer, but may be installed
separately from the

To use the toolset, select a project in Solution Explorer, open its Property
Page (Alt+F7), and in the "General" section of "Configuration Properties"
change "Platform Toolset" to LLVM. Doing so enables an additional Property
Page for selecting the clang-cl executable to use for builds.
To use the toolset with MSBuild directly, invoke it with e.g.
``/p:PlatformToolset=LLVM-vs2014``. This allows trying out the clang-cl
toolchain without modifying your project files.
``/p:PlatformToolset=LLVM``. This allows trying out the clang-cl toolchain

It's also possible to point MSBuild at clang-cl without changing toolset by
passing ``/p:CLToolPath=c:\llvm\bin /p:CLToolExe=clang-cl.exe``.
