Since LLVM 16, llvm-rc supports doing the preprocessing itself. However, doing so requires having
clang
in the PATH, which some more complex toolchain may not necessarily have (for instance, for windows, you may haveclang-cl
but noclang
in PATH, or you may have a target-prefixed clang likex86_64-pc-windows-msvc-clang
).If llvm-rc fails to find clang, it will error out with a message saying it failed to find the program in PATH.
To avoid these issues, we continue doing the preprocessing manually, and pass the
/no-preprocess
flag to llvm-rc if it is supported.
