GCC v. LLVM

Wed, Mar 9, 2011 5:26 PM

Folks,

I was wondering what the forward plans are for R on Mac vis-a-vis
apple-gcc/Clang. Xcode 4 was just released with LLVM 2.x. From what I
can tell, Apple will in the future only support Clang/LLVM. For now, I
believe they are still including the same gcc as with 3.2. But longer
term, the move seems to be to Clang/LLVM.

http://clang.llvm.org/

Does R build with Clang/LLVM? I know Clang is being developed with a
view to ensure GCC "compatibility".

Best,
Anirban
