I read a lot of manpages, but I think I've only changed devd related config files once or twice in my entire life. But we're drifting off. Rewriting devd in C, just because Clang doesn't support C++, is not a good argument. Clang itself is also written in C++. Even I (the maintainer of the clangbsd branch in SVN) think that a compiler that is not able to bootstrap itself cannot be considered a serious replacement for GCC at this time. --=20 Ed Schouten WWW: http://80386.nl/ --RSgmI+M79eD5fHET Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkozeBIACgkQ52SDGA2eCwXvOQCeKl1kyAV9SfJ/08Kl9AeqctDU PZAAmQE0UnQpLonUPa6QnOshCJY/UZDK =kirY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --RSgmI+M79eD5fHET--
