I don't think there was any public announcement, but most will have surmised it by now: The base compiler will soon switch from LLVM 8 to LLVM 10 on all CLANG_ARCHS. This also concerns the linker on LLD_ARCHS.
This will cause a certain amount of breakage in the ports tree. We are working on it now. I have uploaded the failure logs from early builds at http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net/amd64-clang/ Note that the devel/pango failure prevented GTK and Qt and thus a huge chunk of the tree from building. More meaningful logs should appear within 24 hours. Principal sources of build failures: * C++ incompatibilities, as always. * Use of -Werror breaking on new warnings. * Linking errors. There are also silly problems such as configure scripts misrecognizing LLVM 10 due to changes in the output of "cc -v" or "cc -dumpversion". Anyway, I would like to encourage more people to join into the effort. (And yes, I'm aware that there's no publically available snapshot or patchset with LLVM 10...) -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [email protected]
