MinGW doesn't provide a linux-like environment, that is MSYS(2) and/or Cygwin. MinGW provides headers and libraries so that GCC (a compiler suite, not just a "unix/linux compiler") can be built and used against the Windows C runtime.
LLVM is a project that is a compiler infrastructure on which actual compilers are built, this is used by quite a few languages - the LLVM C compiler is called clang and the C++ one clang++ and those more or less aim to be a drop in replacement for GCC. LLVM also exists on Windows. MingW is a windows port of GCC. MS-cl, Clang-cl, Clang++, g++, gpp.
I'm learning to program in C++. So far, I've been using the MinGW implementation of g++ through the Windows command line. I am considering using clang/LLVM instead. Are there any significant differences in usability, stability, or performance? Are there other things I may want to consider when choosing between these compilers?
Mingw-w64 includes a port of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), GNU Binutils for Windows (assembler, linker, archive manager), a set of freely distributable Windows specific header files and static import libraries for the Windows API, a Windows-native version of the GNU Project's GNU Debugger, and miscellaneous utilities.
May 27, 2021 · Clang/LLVM compiles natively on Windows whereas GCC needs a subsystem like MinGW to work under Windows. Clang Vs GCC comparison here wouldn’t be fair as GCC has no plans to natively support Windows. Code complexity – GCC is a very complicated software with more than 15 million lines of code. Although it has well-defined frontend/backend ...

Mar 1, 2014 · Hello, I’m generating/compiling/parsing llvm IR code targeting windows 32bits on my win7 64bits install. And I’m wondering what os should I use in my triple. I tried both without seeing much differences. Is there supposed to be any ? What are the differences between the two OSTypes? Secondly, I’m doing the linking of the .o files created by llvm with gcc from a mingw64 install. Should I ...
