I hadn't heard > that FreeBSD was moving to Clang. There are no concrete plans to ditch gcc from the base system. The GPLv3 license of GCC and binutils does pose a few interesting problems. On the other hand, Clang is a nice project, whose license *is* compatible with a BSD-style license. Several FreeBSD developers have tried building the base system with it and are active at the development forums of Clang. So it's probably a safe assumption to make that Clang is not ready *yet*, but may be an interesting alternative to GCC in the near future. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAktxiScACgkQ1g+UGjGGA7bCRACfeOM5YQxV8BuSz4WbZFULJVVU rx0An1kKhg93hqEH0fGK1Wv3PgfWGzZQ =SB3H -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
