I > think llvm and clang are interesting and serious projects. never told otherwise. i just try to do what is really needed - something like "mythbusters" would help greatly here. clang is very good C compiler, but JUST NOT BETTER than gcc. overall it is comparable. at most. wouldn't it be better to say - well, clang is good and OK, and we are not dependent of GNU communist licence v3 which is important. But instead we here lies about incomparably better compiler. No it is not better. it is at the same class, in some respect actually worse. --2456600518-1865324813-1340047741=:45874--
