Hi DannyBee, sorry if we didn't get the message out clearly. Jim Radigan gives a deeper technical explanation in the build talk he did yesterday. http://channel9.msdn.com/events/Build/2015/3-610 It's translating LLVM IR to C2 IR. We know that the Clang/LLVM community is hard at work on implementing the MS-ABI and we've reached out to a few developers working on ABI stuff as well as symbols support. We intend to engage with that community more openly now that we've announced but of course shipping the code will be our top priority. One important contribution of the Clang/C2 approach is that we will have full native VS debugger support. This is just the first step in a longer journey. Thanks, Steve, VC Dev Mgr

Hello! Is there any chance that this would work with other language front-ends that generate LLVM IR?
see Jim Radigan's build talk on compiling Objective-C for windows for more info on this :)
