AOSP Toolchain Compatibility Layer for Windows

This directory provides header files and a compatibility library to ensure QEMU compilation using the AOSP clang-cl toolchain.

Though clang-cl accepts clang like compiler flags, it does not provide a set of posix compliant headers (like mingw does). In this directory you will find header files with constant definitions and functions that are used by QEMU. For some functions an implementations is provided.

Note that the current functionality is not (yet) utf-8 compliant so you will likely encounter issues when using unicode paths.
