summary

Clang on Windows is largely MSVC ABI and layout compatible but exception handling remains unfinished with a working redesign and a target of roughly December for C and C++ exceptions plus structured exceptions via __try __except. Debug info is incomplete and the fork is pursuing both DWARF and PDB/CodeView paths in parallel to interoperate with Visual Studio and Windows tooling. AddressSanitizer already runs and is the most polished tool on Windows.
