--huq684BweRXVnRxX Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hi, Clang is a new frontend for C-like languages for LLVM. It's modern, BSD licensed compiler that produces roughly the same code quality or better as GCC. It's still in its development phase but quite mature. It includes static analyzer as well. And yes, it can compile FreeBSD kernel that actually boots and works. Not as stable as GCC yet but the Clang team is working on that. The userland needs some more work but a lot works already. You can try yourself, the details are described here: http://wiki.freebsd.org/BuildingFreeBSDWithClang basically you just install devel/llvm-devel port, compile the kernel with -O1 and boot. Don't forget to try out the static analysis. We'd like to encourage you to try this out and test stuff. We can't test everything. In a case of problems (there sure will be) please contact me or Pawel. thank you! your clang@freebsd team Roman Divacky, Pawel Worach and Brooks Davis --huq684BweRXVnRxX Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkmlu9UACgkQLVEj6D3CBEwQZgCeP/VoeUNaGezIwfyAd5zYu61j LY0AmQH1b3kMbAXgR9MLNIQ2AZg/cne+ =yib1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --huq684BweRXVnRxX--
