FreeBSD 10 To Use Clang Compiler, Deprecate GCC

Posted by timothy on from the squash-it-like-a-figurative-bug dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Shared in last quarter's FreeBSD status report are developer plans to have LLVM/Clang become the default compiler and to deprecate GCC. Clang can now build most packages and suit well for their BSD needs. They also plan to have a full BSD-licensed C++11 stack in FreeBSD 10." Says the article, too: "Some vendors have also been playing around with the idea of using Clang to build the Linux kernel (it's possible to do with certain kernel configurations, patches, and other headaches)."

    But Clang also has many technical superiorities to GCC too. Wikipedia gives a quick outline of them.
