> Certain "journalists" are seriously jumping the gun if they assume GCC is just going to shrivel up and die. In addition to mainline, it is used privately in a hundred different branches, several of which are commercially supported (e.g. Codesourcery, Google Native Client) and many the public will never know about. Clang is designed to be highly compatible with GCC-dependent projects, from extensions to command-line arguments. What's to stop them from just switching to Clang if GCC's complexity and lack of documentation prevent it from remaining competitive?
