clang isn't. clang-cl is (after years of work by the clang-cl team at Google). They had to do a lot of work, especially around PDB (symbol-file) generation.

More precisely:
clang-cl is a drop-in replacement for cl (even the command lines are the same).
But clang-cl is just a driver for clang, and it's still possible to get the ABI compatibility without clang-cl, but you have to know what you're doing and get the flags right.
