Hi xunxun,
I did not apply the patch locally...so I can't really answer your question
I settled for opening a ticket to the clang devs

Drop. :-)

Maybe there is already a 3.2 version? I also read the current dev-version supports c++11 completely - that would be interesting, too.

The thing with gdb is bad, indeed. :-/

eranif:
Updating clang/llvm to their latest trunk and building
I will also check if gdb is working with latest trunk.. (thought I doubt it will work...)

Hi,

I built clang latest trunk + I did some minor change to allow debugging - with the my build you can compile and debug a C program.
For C++: Its not usable.

- Exceptions are not supported (you need to compile your code with -fno-exceptions)
- You need to explicitly set -lstd++ in the linker
- After you successfully link, your program will crash ;) ( in debug and release mode with no optimizations ) with non helpful backtrace. Note that the crash happens with or without my change

To summarize:
- Is usable for C
- Don't bother with it for C++ / Windows

Linux is another story:
- Works like a charm (I even got a separate codelite build which compiles with clang)
- Its x2 faster than g++ on linux (for comparison, compiling codelite ~1200 sources with PCH enabled takes about 3 mins on my 8 core machine with g++ and ~1.3 min with clang++)
- A drop in replacement for g++/gcc (just set CXX=clang++ / CC=clang and you are done)

how do you build it on linux ? I know it is in the repos, but I think their new libstd++ is missing for linux, and that one should be build , right ?
And does the C++11 stuff work ?
