- pjmlp 4mo agoA decade ago surely, in 2026 I doubt it. With Android, iDevices, PlayStation, Switch, and everyone that had proprietary compilers down using downstream forks from clang, due to the more appealing license. Who is left still using GCC, other than existing projects lacking a clang backend for a snowflake embed CPU? In any case, if it is a modern GCC release past 2012, it was compiled with C++ as well.
- uecker 4mo agoThe license is indeed the big reason for many proprietary forks (not so much that llvm is written in C++). This is not a good thing though.
