How to install clang on windows using the visual studio build tools
Clang on Windows (VS 2017 build tools)
There are plenty of tutorials online on how to install clang on windows with visual studioIDE and MinGW. However, there are none on clang with visual studio build tools.
Requirements:
64-bit Windows 7 SP1 or newer with the latest updates installed
6 GB of free space on the partition where Windows is installed
internet connection (for installation only)
1. Install VS 2017 build tools
%VS2017BuildToolsDir% = installation directory of VS 2017 build tools
In this document, I'll discuss a few techniques that can be utilized to achieve object-oriented programming in C. This document is for educational use, and should be evaluated properly before using these techniques in commercial projects.
Note of the author
There isn't much use for object-oriented programming in C besides when one or multiple of these are true:
you want to learn how object-oriented programming languages work
your compiler doesn't support an object-oriented language
object-oriented languages are not capable of utilizing the resources at hand efficiently enough
your boss and/or client demands you to write object-oriented code
There are various reasons why one might want to emulate object-oriented programming (OOP) in C. Many could write such code, but only a few will master it. I won't discuss OOP in detail, as there are better resources for this. Thus, I assume that you already have knowledge of OOP and writing in an OOP language. What I will discuss in the document, is a quick rundown of several techniques to emulate OOP in C.
After working with quite some programming languages, I feel the urge to write down my thoughts on the features they employ and how this affects the programmer's way of thinking. This is an opinion piece, but I know that the large majority of my friends / old classmates / collegues feel the same way when I discussed the topic with them.
Imperative programming
With this I mean C89 in particular.
The language encourages it's user to express it's thoughts as direct and precise as possible, while taking full responsibility of the concequences. The language rules are simple, it only provides the minimum you need to get started and the language doesn't hold your hand.
Inheritance
We have learned the computer to think in the way we view the world. It's not a bad thing per-se, as it now allows development tools to include auto completion and if the compiler is good enough, it can translate it properly back to C code (which results in similar performance as hand-written
