Answer 1

The following got things working for me on Cygwin using clang version 3.0 (tags/RELEASE_30/final), as well as on Windows using the Clang build instructions and a version checked out from trunk (usually stable, as I've read) yesterday (clang version 3.1 (trunk 154056)) and built with Visual Studio 2010:

" clang_complete
let g:clang_complete_auto = 0
let g:clang_complete_copen = 1
" :h clang_complete-auto_user_options
if has('win32unix') " Cygwin
       " Using libclang requires a Vim built with +python
       let g:clang_use_library = 1
       " Mit der Option "gcc" kriege ich Fehler.
       " Remove "gcc" option as it causes errors.
       let g:clang_auto_user_options='path, .clang_complete'
elseif has('win32') " Windows
       let g:clang_auto_user_options='path, .clang_complete'
       let g:clang_use_library = 1
       let g:clang_library_path='D:\Sourcen\LLVM\build\bin\Debug'
endif

Note that the Windows version may have sporadic assertion failures but works fine, although not exactly like the Cygwin version. Guess it's to do with using MSVC versus GCC header files.

The Cygwin version has an initial error: release unlocked lock, but it works regardless.
