LLVM and Clang 3.2 released

We use LLVM on Windows in Rust. It works OK in general, but the biggest issue is that C++ zero-cost exceptions don't work. We'll have to implement our own workarounds for this at some point.

Are you saying that Windows cannot support zero-cost exceptions? Do you have documentation on why that is?

It can, and GCC and MSVC support it (via different mechanisms -- GCC uses DWARF and MSVC uses its own format), but it isn't implemented in LLVM.
