Hello Leonid:

Just to satisfy my curiosity: what are advantages of using clang instead of gcc?

I am a mere messenger here, but I am told that clang/clang++:

- is command line compatible with gcc
- is faster
- produces better diagnostic messages
- clang on MacOS is under active development while gcc is not [citation needed]

To others out there - feel free to correct these points, or add more of your own.

Tim
