The version field of Clang is only set for distributions that provide dedicated Clang with default mingw-w64 targets, which are Cygwin, MSYS2, and Winlibs. Although Clang can always be used as a cross compiler, it is not set for distributions that provide Clang with default Linux or macOS targets.

Pull request overview

Updates the pre-built toolchains download table to distinguish GCC, Clang, and mingw-w64 version information, so readers can tell when a distro provides a dedicated mingw-targeting Clang.

Changes:

  • Renamed the “GCC / mingw-w64 Version” column to “GCC / Clang / mingw-w64 Versions”.
  • Reformatted version cells to a 3-part GCC / Clang / mingw-w64 structure using - where Clang isn’t provided.
  • Added explicit Clang package version links for Cygwin and MSYS2, and included a Clang version value for LLVM-MinGW and WinLibs.

Pull request overview

Updates the pre-built toolchain download table to represent GCC, Clang, and mingw-w64 runtime versions separately, reflecting that some distributions ship a dedicated mingw-targeting Clang.

Changes:

  • Renamed the table header column to “GCC / Clang / mingw-w64 Versions”.
  • Converted existing “GCC/mingw-w64” entries into “GCC / Clang / mingw-w64” triplets (using - where Clang isn’t provided as a mingw-default toolchain).
  • Added explicit Clang version links for Cygwin and MSYS2; updated WinLibs.com entry to include a Clang version.
