As an extra, you get clang, a C/C++ compiler which is very interesting as it can be used as a library and/or static analyzer. Actually FreeBSD builds now entirely with clang and it seems the BSD world is trying to do a switch from gcc.
I have updated the packman package to 2.8 (latest) release (home:dmacvicar/llvm). There is only a bug left with apidocs/doxygen, which are right now disabled by default via a bscond.
You beat me to it. My plan was to compile whole factory with clang aka BSD.
It's a nonsense to me until you have numbers that support the idea that llvm-compiled stuff is faster. Do we have some already?
But... please package 2.9 svn instead of 2.8 because SVN has important fixes for compiling
Is llvm-gcc always available for the latest svn? clang is unusable for many of GNU C sources because it still supports only a subset of GNU C. regards, -- js suse labs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
