gcc/clang are completely open source. In fact, the ones online are far more recent versions than what apple has been shipping. I believe apple still ships gcc42 as of the last free xcode.
- drdaeman 16y agoThat's because GCC has changed licensing to GPLv3, and Apple didn't like that. So they left with last GPLv2 version.
- j_baker 16y agoAre there really that many compelling additions to gcc since then? This is a serious question, not a rhetorical one.
- goalieca 16y agothe optimizers are significantly better, enhanced profiling, standards compliance more strict, c++0x additions, and improved compile times.
