| LLVM is still fighting GCCisms
And yet this doesn't affect everything. Didn't Apple switch from gcc to the Intel C compiler? Does the Intel C compiler implement all of gcc's quirks?
- azakai 14y agoOf course it doesn't affect everything, nor does it make anything 100% impossible. It just makes it potentially much harder. A huge corporation like Apple will typically be able to overcome the additional effort.
- glasshead969 14y agoApple switched to LLVM from GCC. Chris Lattner, LLVM primary author works for Apple.
- pyre 14y agoIIRC, I remember talk of Apple switching to the Intel C compiler ~ a year or so after the Intel switch. I'm not an Apple dev, so I don't have first-hand knowledge.
- dottrap 14y agoNo. I am an Apple dev. At least publicly, this never happened. But Intel did have a presence at WWDC when the Intel switch announcement was made. Intel was trying to sell developers licenses to the Intel compiler (as they should).
