GIANT CLUSTERFUCK OF A COMMIT
OK, this is epic. I was basically just trying to a) support Clang and b) add more test coverage. _THREE MONTHS_ and a few hundred CI runs later, this is what I came up with. I don't know how it ended up being what it is, but here we go. Some highlights of the changes: 1) CI builds has been moved to GitHub Actions, 2) the entire notion of a toolchain has been reworked; it now supports Clang on all platforms. * .github: this directory contains the GitHub Actions workflow scripts/actions. In the process, I created like 6 external GitHub actions, but it's still pretty massive. An upside is that it covers much more platform/toolchain combinations _and_ check a lot of the expected post-conditions. TODO: .ci/Makefile is obsolete now, as well as .travis.yml and .appveyor.yml. * common.cmake: added Clang support. In the process, a great deal has been learned about how CMake works; in particular, static runtime support has been reworked to be more robust. * project: the entire notion of a "toolchain" has been reworked. Instead of a measly --mingw parameter, there's now a separate --toolset parameter, which allows you to choose between GCC, Clang, MSVC, etc. Both Boost and CMake build scripts were enhanced greatly to support Clang and other toolchains in a more robust way.

+# Default generator
+# -----------------
+#
+# As of CMake 3.18, the default generator (unless set explicitly) is:
+# * the newest Visual Studio or "NMake Makefiles" on Windows,
+# * "Unix Makefiles" otherwise.
+# This is regardless of whether any executables like gcc, cl or make are
+# available [1].
+#
+# Makefile generators
+# -------------------
+#
+# CMake has a number of "... Makefiles" generators. "Unix Makefiles" uses
+# gmake/make/smake, whichever is found first, and cc/c++ for compiler
+# detection [2]. "MinGW Makefiles" looks for mingw32-make.exe in a number of
+# well-known locations, uses gcc/g++ directly, and is aware of windres [3]. In
+# addition, "Unix Makefiles" uses /bin/sh as the SHELL value in the Makefile,
+# while the MinGW version uses cmd.exe. I don't think it matters on Windows
+# though, since the non-existent /bin/sh is ignored anyway [4]. "NMake
+# Makefiles" is similar, except it defaults to using cl [5].
+#
+# It's important to _not_ use the -A parameter with any of the Makefile
+# generators - it's an error. This goes for "NMake Makefiles" also. "NMake
+# Makefiles" doesn't attempt to search for installed Visual Studio compilers,
+# you need to use it from one of the Visual Studio-provided shells.
+#
+# Visual Studio generators
+# ------------------------
+#
+# These are special. They ignore the CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER parameters and use
+# cl by default [9]. They support specifying the toolset to use via the -T
+# parameter (the "Platform Toolset" value in the project's properties) since
+# 3.18 [10]. The toolset list varies between Visual Studio versions, and I'm
+# too lazy to learn exactly which version supports which toolsets.
+#
+# cmake --build uses msbuild with Visual Studio generators. You can pass the
+# path to a different cl.exe by doing something like
+#
+# msbuild ... /p:CLToolExe=another-cl.exe /p:CLToolPath=C:\parent\dir
+#
+# It's important that the generators for Visual Studio 2017 or older use Win32
+# Win32 as the default platform [12]. Because of that, we need to pass the -A
+# parameter.
+#
+# mingw32-make vs make
+# --------------------
+#
+# No idea what the actual differences are. The explanation in the FAQ [6]
+# about how GNU make "is lacking in some functionality and has modified
+# functionality due to the lack of POSIX on Win32" isn't terribly helpful.
+#
+# It's important that you can install either on Windows (`choco install make`
+# for GNU make and `choco install mingw` to install a MinGW-w64 distribution
+# with mingw32-make.exe included). Personally, I don't see any difference
+# between using either make.exe or mingw32-make.exe w/ CMake on Windows. But,
+# since MinGW-w64 distributions do include mingw32-make.exe and not make.exe,
+# we'll try to detect that.
+#
+# Cross-compilation
+# -----------------
+#
+# If you want to e.g. build x86 binary on x64 and vice versa, the easiest way
+# seems to be to make a CMake "toolchain file", which initializes the proper
+# compiler flags (like -m64/-m32, etc.). Such file could look like this:
+#
+# set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER gcc)
+# set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS -m32)
+# set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER g++)
+# set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS -m32)
+#
+# You can then pass the path to it using the CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE parameter.
+#
+# If you use the Visual Studio generators, just use the -A parameter, like "-A
+# Win32".
+#
+# As a side note, if you want to cross-compile between x86 and x64 using GCC on
+# Ubuntu, you need to install the gcc-multilib package.
+#
+# Windows & Clang
+# ---------------
+#
+# Using Clang on Windows is no easy task, of course. Prior to 3.15, there was
+# no support for building things using the clang++.exe executable, only
+# clang-cl.exe was supported [7]. If you specified -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++,
+# CMake would stil pass MSVC-style command line options to the compiler (like
+# /MD, /nologo, etc.), which clang++ doesn't like [8].
+#
+# So, in summary, you can only use clang++ since 3.15. clang-cl doesn't work
+# with Visual Studio generators unless you specify the proper toolset using the
+# -T parameter. You can set the ClToolExe property using msbuild, but while
+# that might work in practice, clang-cl.exe needs to map some unsupported
+# options for everything to work properly. For an example of how this is done,
+# see the LLVM.Cpp.Common.* files at [11].
+#
+# I recommend using Clang (either clang-cl or clang++ since 3.15) using the
+# "NMake Makefiles" generator.
