Note that gcc's C++11 support was feature-complete as of about two weeks ago... :] [Seriously]

- mitchty 14y agoAnd? It isn't like this is a competition.
- Scaevolus 14y agoThere's definitely a sense of friendly competition between GCC and Clang developers.
- mitchty 14y agoPerhaps, but I don't see the need for the gcc did it first responses. A simple gcc and clang both have ful c11 support now would seem more appropriate is basically all I'm trying to convey.
- greyfade 14y agoCompetition is good when it means better language support.
- kzrdude 14y agoand better error messages!
- saalweachter 14y agoThis is totally a competition, although the bar is probably pretty low. If Clang is feature complete, compiler and library, and GCC takes ~N years more to be feature complete, compiler and library, then Clang could win. People might say, "I'm tired of not being able to use feature X, it's been implemented in Clang for two years", drop GCC, and install Clang.
- zaphoyd 14y agoG++ still doesn't support all of the C++11 standard library so that is not entirely true. (Clang's standard library implementation, libc++, is C++11 feature complete as well)
- thwest 14y agoSTL is ambiguous. You mean standard library or stdlib if it must be shortened. Helpless pedantry I know but freenode's #c++ has beat this into me.
- zaphoyd 14y agofair enough
- nly 14y agoYou should be able to use LLVMs libc++ with GCC, just like you can currently use GNU libstdc++ with Clang.
- vinkelhake 14y agoAs far as I know, libc++ is at the moment feature complete on OS X. Work still has to be done for other platforms.
