Clang is a great set of compiler tools. If you are only a user, as you suggest, than you shouldn't be compiling anything, just running binaries. If you are using a compiler, than you may not be a developer, but you aren't just a user. In any case, if you're not developing, like me, you don't really get a say-- well, you do, but probably nobody is listening. http://www.drdobbs.com/cpp/240001128 > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- joe gain jacob-burckhardt-str. 16 78464 konstanz germany +49 (0)7531 60389 (...otherwise in ???)
