![]() clang-cl works best when the user runs vcvarsall to set up an environment before running, but even this is not enough on VC 2017 when cross compiling (e.g. using an x64 toolchain to target x86, or vice versa). The reason is that although clang-cl itself will have a valid environment, it will shell out to other tools (such as link.exe) which may not. Generally we solve this through adding the appropriate linker flags, but this is not enough in VC 2017. The cross-linker and the regular linker both link against some common DLLs, but these DLLs live in the binary directory of the native linker. When setting up a cross-compilation environment through vcvarsall, it will add *both* directories to %PATH%, so that when cl shells out to any of the associated tools, those tools will be able to find all of the dependencies that it links against. If you don't do this, link.exe will fail to run because the loader won't be able to find all of the required DLLs that it links against. To solve this we teach the driver how to spawn a process with an explicitly specified environment. Then we modify the PATH before shelling out to subtools and run with the modified PATH.
