Good - and those 30% of ports will help improve clang++ even more.
Some probably will, we submit a lot of bug reports for clang/llvm.
Hopefully over time that number will increase to 100% and we will be able to say goodbye to gcc for good.
That won't happen, at least not anytime soon and not until we get rid of [old] poorly written ports from the ports tree. Another problem is ports using horrible or less horrible GNU extensions for C or C++, clang will not support all of them. So we will still need gcc for some things, just like we need USE_GCC=whatever now, because some ports don't compile with gcc42 from base. I just hope we can get the majority of ports working with clang and keep the number of ports that need gcc as low as possible. -- Andrius _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
