Major highlights include: +<ul> + <li> Clang/ccc pass almost all of the LLVM test suite on Mac OS X and Linux +on the 32-bit x86 architecture. This includes significant C +applications such as <a href="http://www.sqlite.org">sqlite3</a>, +<a href="http://www.lua.org">lua</a>, and +<a href="http://www.clamav.net">Clam AntiVirus</a>. + + <li> Clang can build the majority of Objective-C examples shipped with the +Mac OS X Developer Tools. +</ul> + +Clang code generation still needs considerable testing and development, however. +Some areas under active development include: +<ul> + <li> Improved support for C and Objective-C features, for example + variable-length arries, va_arg, exception handling (Obj-C), and garbage + collection (Obj-C). + <li> ABI compatibility, especially for platforms other than 32-bit x86. +</ul> </div> |
