As far as I know people used to build at least 2.5 using clang but it was more than a year ago. And you know that sometimes warnings in compilers tend to become errors in next versions. Therefore 2.5 can be not buildable with fresh clang. What about 3.0 - may be it was also tried with clang that time, but there were so many changes since that time... We use VC on windows and gcc on other systems (there are 2.5 ports to native compilers for most of widely used unixes). But what about Mac - we always used gcc. > Does anyone know if this is an achievable goal by just fixing the missing > casts, template compilation issues, string concat issues, ... Definitely yes, but 2.1 is bad choice. That code is about 6 years old (when branch was created) and therefore has more suspicious places than fresher versions. > The rest of our product is built using clang and libc++ and we want this > embedded component to be built with the same tools.

Code was reworked in a lot of places.
