Our gcc is from 2007. It has no C11, no C++11 support. It has bugs in its
atomic generation so you can't use it sensibly without lots of inline
assembly (which it doesn't support for newer architectures) for
multithreaded things.
Our libstdc++ is ancient and doesn't work with modern C++ codebases.
On the other hand these tools are perfect for building FreeBSD kernel and base.
Extrapolating my experience with base GCC I am very confident in it as a
FreeBSD development tool.
Extrapolating my experience with Clang I am not yet confident in it as a
FreeBSD development tool.
I do not care about C11, C++11 and modern C++ codebases. I care about what's
in /usr/src and what gets compiled by buildkernel/buildworld. That's just me,
of course. But, OTOH, those who care modern C++ codebases should be perfectly
capable to install a compiler from ports or switch to clang as their default
compiler.
+1
I'd like to see it still be "there if you need it" in 10
in 11 it's in ports
