- adamdusty 5y agoI think LLVM will still be required for release builds.
- csande17 5y agoI believe the plan is to make LLVM optional for compiling Zig code, but features that work with C code will still require Clang to be compiled in. Who knows, though. Someone might end up implementing a C compiler on top of the self-hosted Zig compiler's backend!
- Zababa 5y agoFrom what I understand, LLVM will still be used for release builds, while the self-holsted compiler will be used for quick feedback.
