aha … not surprising that the same company (Google) that lowered the standard 
on translation now lowers the standards on CC. I wonder, though,  what happens

A place I can recommend if you are in the neighbourhood is IBM’s

from the start of the company to fairly recent equipment. I am also waiting for 
the new Principles of Operation to see what is new, and to see what the new 
versions of the compilers can do. And whether llvm-clang would be included with 
those, or not.

René.
