schestowitz>> My major objection to swapping out GCC for Clang as the system compiler was security and the correctness of the compiled code, but with things moving the way they are, pretty soon the only objection will be the licensing issue with Clang/LLVM. But we already depend heavily on Clang/LLVM in the Free Software world. Consider that it's a hard dependency of Mesa because compiling shaders is something that LLVM is wellMay 27 07:51
