Using clang and trying to generate a visual studio solution with premake doesn't compile with "llvm-lib.exe exited with code 1"
I have 2 premake files 1 for my renderer, and one for my engine but when I generate a vs2022 solution via the command premake5 vs2022 trying to build said solution hits me with a 
I would like to know why this behavior happens, as building on the command line (with gmake) works perfectly fine, and being able to build in VS would greatly increase the productivity of debugging

my file tree looks like so
from what I've been messing around with it sort of looks like its trying to force the msvc c standard on it, which might contribute to the issue, but still evades me
Solution
The answer was just to suck it up and switch to msvc for the vs2022 profile
