Really great work by the OpenMandriva team. I've spoken to some of their contributors before and even looked into one of the bugs they reported. Now that I think about it, I need to send that patch for fixing asm goto detection in glib.
Android and ChromeOS are also built with Clang. I'm curious about the distinction of "first." Does anyone know the timelines here?
- oneplane 7y agoNot sure how wide Apple has adopted it or how much of a 'distro' you could call their operating systems, but much is built using LLVM with clang where publicly visible.
- dnautics 7y agoAlso, to be pedantic, apple is a BSD, not a linux.
- meruru 7y agoMac OS is its own operating system with its own kernel. It's neither Linux nor BSD.
- dnautics 7y agooh good point, TIL only the posix and syscall layer is BSD. nonetheless it's not at all a linux.
- pjmlp 7y agoIf you want to see how much different they are, have a look at "Mac OS X Internals: A Systems Approach" https://www.amazon.com/Mac-OS-Internals-Systems-Approach-ebook/dp/B004Y4UTLI https://www.amazon.com/Mac-OS-Internals-Systems-Approach-ebo... Since then, has macOS become even further away from BSD, with its own Network stack, XPC, SIP and many other architecture changes.

- cat199 7y agothis is taking the post USL vs BSD legalized definition of unix, which, w/r/t history, is revisionist. following the lineage and where active development happened at the time (80s/early 90s), one can easily make the case that BSD is unix.
- dTal 7y agoTo be pedantic, Apple is a company, not an OS :)
- tssva 7y agoTo be pedantic, the comment you replied to referred to apple which is neither a company nor an OS but a fruit.
