Yes, to an extent.

There are a lot of reasons why people chose MS Word, not just crashes on 
Wordperfect. Not to mention that Word crashes too.

but your claims are not believable. You should be more precise in your 
wording.

So I need Clang to parse my code. Will it parse Microsoft headers properly?
