Indeed, that fact isn't nice about clang. But besides that it is _much_ nicer than gcc in many regards. Especially the diagnostics are great. Also the codebase looks much more tiny, sane and not so 'grown'. The resulting assembler is not yet on the same quality level as gcc, but they will get there. Kind regards, -Alex
