Comments:

According to https://github.com/Caphyon/clang-power-tools/issues/104. I do not see command line for calling clang-build.ps1
I have seen command line for my other project:

VERBOSE: clang-build.ps1 invocation args: 
  aVcxprojToCompile = G:\test\LibWin10.vcxproj 
  aCppToCompile = AdmobHelper.cpp 
  aVcxprojConfigPlatform = Release|x64 
  aClangCompileFlags = -Werror -std=c++14 -Wall -fms-compatibility-version=19.10 -fms-compatibility -Wmicrosoft 
-Wno-invalid-token-paste -Wno-unknown-pragmas -Wno-unused-variable -Wno-unused-value 
  Verbose = True 
  aUseParallelCompile = True 
  aVisualStudioVersion = 2017 
  aVisualStudioSku = Community 
  aDirectory = G:\test 
  aDisableNameRegexMatching = True

But I do not know how to use it. I would like to just copy clang-build.ps1 command line from Visual Studio output and use it… I would like to see something like below visual studio output:

====Call clang-build.ps1:
C:\Users\Mariusz\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_a46b25cb\Extensions\jdeqctnp.s5e\clang-build.ps1 param1 param2 param2
.......

===== Call clang.exe
C:\path\clang.exe params

The PS script didn’t reach the point where it would print that command-line because it failed to create the PCH file, due to the UTF-16 stdafx.h file.

I think that command line should be displayed to output before is called. And in case compiling PCH and cpp it will be nice do display both command lines

Yes. It think that VS extension itself should print the clang-build.ps1. Only in that place we really know what we are calling.

OK . When I save files as UTF-8 it works:

Is it known issue with UTF-16 (LE)
I see right now “Clang job tool:” in output but why there is no this line in previous output?
Could you display clang command line in the following format so I can just copy paste it? C:\full_path\clang.exe all parameters

output
