In practice, Clang is a drop-in replacement for GCC. [24] Clang's developers aim to reduce memory footprint and increase compiling speed compared to other compilers, such as GCC. In October 2007, they report that Clang compiled the Carbon libraries more than twice as fast as GCC, while using about one-sixth GCC's memory and disk space. [25]
This allows Zig’s cc and c++ sub-commands to act as cross compilers out of the box (similarly to Clang). [36] [37] Zig treats cross-compiling as a first-class use-case of the language. [20] This means any Zig compiler can compile runnable binaries for any of its target platforms, of which there are dozens.
The one that has received the most attention is Clang, a newer compiler supporting C, C++, and Objective-C. Primarily supported by Apple, Clang is aimed at replacing the C/Objective-C compiler in the GCC system with a system that is more easily integrated with integrated development environments (IDEs) and has wider support for multithreading.
The Swift compiler and the Clang compiler are separate projects (the Swift compiler uses Clang for its interoperability with Objective-C, but Clang is not used to compile Swift code). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2620:0:1000:330B:88D8:40D7:4779:E213 ( talk ) 20:37, 25 November 2015 (UTC) [ reply ]
The AMD Optimizing C/C++ Compiler (AOCC) is an optimizing C/C++ and Fortran compiler suite from AMD targeting 32-bit and 64-bit Linux platforms. [1] [2] It is a proprietary fork of LLVM + Clang with various additional patches to improve performance for AMD's Zen microarchitecture in Epyc, and Ryzen microprocessors.
After GCC 4.3 (2008) switched to GPLv3, Apple abandoned it in favor of clang, a compiler it has more legal power to modify. As a result, many of the modern Objective-C language features are supported only by Clang. Apple's versioning scheme for its clang-based "LLVM compiler" differs from the LLVM's open-source versioning.
Blocks bear a superficial resemblance to GCC's extension of C to support lexically scoped nested functions. [8] However, GCC's nested functions, unlike blocks, must not be called after the containing scope has exited, as that would result in undefined behavior.
Mingw-w64 includes a port of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), GNU Binutils for Windows (assembler, linker, archive manager), a set of freely distributable Windows specific header files and static import libraries for the Windows API, a Windows-native version of the GNU Project's GNU Debugger, and miscellaneous utilities.
