So far this is not a big problem: .c and .cpp files are passed to cl.exe (or clang-cl.exe), and the compiler figures our whether to compile as C or C++ according to the file extension. Always passing the same flags is also not an issue.
Enter newer C/C++ standards: recent versions of ICU require C++17, so ext/intl passes /std:c++17. cl.exe is still fine with this, but clang-cl.exe (18.1.8) complains about an unused argument when compiling .c files of ext/intl. Not a big deal. Now php-src requires C11, so I tried passing /std:c11. Besides hitting #17107, that generally works fine (get a warning in xxhash.h). However, when trying to build ext/intl, MSVC errors, reporting incompatible /std flags.
Thus I think we need at least a minimum support for CXXFLAGS. Full fledged support might be overkill, and likely raises issues with some external extensions. I'm not really sure how to support this, though. Ideas welcome!
Note that such support would be an issue for /MP enabled builds. Currently, these pass all source files added via a single ADD_SOURCES() call to the compiler in one go. Passing individual files basically circumvents /MP. If we split the sets (C files vs. C++ files), that would reduce the usefulness of /MP. Not a big deal for php-src, but might be some problem for external extensions.
