msvc-named: add an executable that uses MSVC extensions

Open mathstuf opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

MSVC prefers the .ixx and .cppm extensions for C++20 module interface units. Add a test that uses these extensions.

Fixes: #24

I'll have to respin the Docker image with new versions of things.

LGTM. In testing this I found that MSVC's -scanDependencies option breaks on .cppm, but works for .cpp or .ixx. I'll handle reporting this to MS. Meanwhile, this representative case can be merged.

It turns out that MSVC doesn't recognize .cppm as C++ and needs -TP explicitly. It does recognize .cpp and .ixx as C++.
