A couple years ago, it looked like a race between PCC and TenDRA, but Clang seemed to just come out of nowhere and steal all the attention. All three of them had a lot to recommend them, but then the TenDRA modernization project evaporated and everybody jumped on the Clang wagon. At least, that's how it looked to me. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
