It would be ideal to use the linker driver (
clang
) to find the linker. That allows the customization point for the default linker (CLANG_DEFAULT_LINKER
).There was a problem hiding this comment.

Do you mean use
clang
as the linker? Or something else?There was a problem hiding this comment.

Yes, using
clang
as the linker driver (it knows what to do to locate and construct the invocation).Uh oh!

clang is used to invoke the linker. The discovery of the linker via discoveredCommandLineToolSpecInfo attempts to find out details about the linker that clang would invoke. Internally depending on the linker type or the version discovered different linker options can be provided (via -Xlinker)
The ALTERNATE_LINKER build setting sets the
-fuse-ld
option forcing clang to use a different named linker. I will verify if on Windows clang will use link.exe by default.There was a problem hiding this comment.

Verified that indeed clang on windows by default will use link.exe.
