Error sinks are a way of accumulating errors from API calls related or unrelated into 1 unified error handling pattern. The implementation of a sink requires 2 fundamental design constraints on the APIs supporting this pattern.
Pipelining of errors
Errors emitted over the course of several API calls are accumulated into a sink which save the error code and message of the first error encountered

| REM Merge multiple compilation command files generated by clang -MJ and dump it | |
| REM to standard output as a JSON array. This script lets you merge the output | |
| REM files clang dumps on execution of this command without relying on any | |
| REM external tools, just pure batch scripting. | |

| REM Generate Standalone MSVC17 x86/x64 Toolchain from VS Installation | |
| REM | |
| REM Collects the necessary includes, binaries, DLLs and libs to around ~300mb on | |
| REM disk from a VS installation that can invoke cl, and link as you typically | |
| REM would after calling "vcvarsall.bat x64" | |
| REM | |
| REM This script generates the helper scripts within the generated toolchain. | |
| REM cl_[x64|x86].bat: Invokes the compiler with required environment variables set | |
| REM link_[x64|x86}.bat: Invokes the linker with required environment variables set |
