Personally, I'd rather try the "llvm-gcc" route than the "clang" route. We will get miscompiled code in either case, but with llvm-gcc, at least the frontend is gcc, so it should accept the same code as gcc. While with clang, we'll end up with additional packages that produce compiler errors because clang is more strict about various C / C++ syntax requirements. Moreover, the clang C++ frontend still contains bugs that causes it to reject valid C++ code. There is one thing in favor of defaulting to clang: We also default to it on 10.7, so there is some hope that at least fixes that we need for the one can be applied to the other. Either way: Since bootstrapping is currently broken for some users, we should make a decision ASAP. We'll have to do cleanup work for those affected afterwards either way, and I am afraid we don't have the man power and resources to do extensive testing of both variants (clang vs. llvm-gcc). > > I can't test these myself, since I can't really afford to spring for a > Dev Center membership, and I'm still not employed, so there's no $job > to pay for that. What exactly would you need the dev center membership for? Anyway, basic access is still free according to <http://developer.apple.com/programs/which-program/>, and you can in fact download Xcode for free using that free account. The real problem is that Xcode 4.x is only downloadable for Lion this way. To get Xcode 4.2 for SL, one needs to have bought it on the Mac App store (I was one of those who spent 5 euros on it back at that time ;). Anyway, depending on what you need exactly, maybe we could find a solution to help finance this.
