SUMMARY
The clang free compiler is available for windows as prebuilt-binaries in:
http://releases.llvm.org/download.html
And it uses much less disk space than any (free to test) Visual Studio.

Craft can only use (from the setup):
Welcome to the Craft setup wizard!

Select compiler
[0] Mingw-w64, [1] Microsoft Visual Studio 2017, [2] Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 (Experimental) (Default is Microsoft Visual Studio 2017):

Hi, that is a valid wish but will not happen if nobody contributes it.

If it is a valid wishlist, then shouldn't it just be left open?  If someone is looking for potential projects, I don't think they will look at closed bugs.  (I have no personal interest here, but do wonder about the resolution.)
Comment 3 Christoph Cullmann 2024-09-21 22:48:59 UTC
It makes no sense to keep wishes that just say 'I want X' open forever.
Nobody with own interest in that will stumble over such a wish X years later and do it.
At least the > 20 years of experience with the bugs we have here does show that.
It would be a different issue if the bug would contain detailed info how to do it or even some patch that could be the base for some work.
