clang seems "generally useful" for c and objc by now, though obviously bugs
still remain.

 <p>While this work aims to provide a fully functional C/C++/ObjC front-end, it
 is <em>still early work</em> and is under heavy development. In particular,
 there is no real C++ support yet (this is obviously a big project), and C/ObjC
-support is still missing some features. Some of the more notable missing pieces
