Gcc generates faster code, too, often, though far from always.
Clang is suffering because Google is off on a chase for "Carbon", which hasn't been abandoned yet, so neglects all but LLVM.
This doesn't affect the kernel much, because the C parser needs little attention. The Clang project needs someone not Google to step up.
- MaxBarraclough 4y agoCarbon will use LLVM for its backend, right? I presume Google are still invested in LLVM itself, for that reason. I was going to mention Apple but they're famously prone to adopting non-mainstream languages like Swift. I don't think they have much interested in modern C++ features.
