If a add_clang_library call doesn't specify building as static or shared
library they are implicitly added to the list static libraries that is
linked in to clang-cpp shared library here.

Because the clang-tools-extra libraries targets were declared after
clang-cpp they by luck never got linked to clang-cpp.
This change is required for clang symbol visibility macros on windows to
work correctly for clang tools since we need to distinguish if a target
being built will be importing or exporting clang symbols from the
clang-cpp DLL.
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
