Clang is experimental as a Windows C compiler and useless as a Windows C++ compiler. It has its uses, but it is no match for gcc/g++ yet. If you include it into the stable toolchain archive, uninformed people will waste their time trying it to end being frustrated and disparaging MinGW-W64. > *2.* Provide separate builds of GCC+Clang > > I have a question to users what use our toolchains. > I want you to vote for the best variant of doing that. > > I know that some users don't want to have bigger toolchains but I think > that in modern time it is not a problem because all drives has big volume. There are still parts of the world with slow and/or limited Internet connections and people using old computers. Personally, I'm more concerned about potential clashes with the Clang binaries that I build. As Clang is experimental and fast-evolving on Windows, it makes sense to build it quite frequently from SVN and a "stable" distribution becomes obsolete quite fast (the standard response for bug reports against Clang releases on the Clang/LLVM channels is "use the SVN sources".) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
