What will the -cc clang do in axmol build command?

I do know the designated compiler is MSVC. But I am curious about what the role clang plays when I specify -cc clang?

By the way, in CMake Projects Outline, a lot of static libraries listed in mygame/Extensions/, such as assets-manager, axlua, and so on. What are they? Although I have set build target to only mygame (EXECUTABLE), it seems that they will still build again, bringing about compiling 1k+ files on a brand-new project. Is that expected phenomenon?

My command used after axmol new ... is axmol build -p win32 linux ios -cc clang. Again, I declare I know the right command. I'm just trying something different.

-cc clang is for windows, linux

ios/macos/android: always clang provided from Xcode, ndk

as I know, the clang on windows still use c++ standard from msvc, clang just compiler

Sorry, maybe it changes something that I modified the CMake configuration after axmol build. I prefer vscode. After axmol build, I executed the vscode command CMake: Select a kit and selected clang. This leads to everything built again. Once the extensions and 3rdparty libraries built once via CMake extension with the kit unchanged, they will not be built again when I build the executable. In one word, that is normal phenomenon. I apologize for my rash question.
