[cfe-users] Migrating to clang from GCC

[Ankit Garg]

Hi All,
          I am not sure whether its the right forum to ask this 
question.  I am trying to move to clang compiler from GCC, but our 
software has tons of components independently developed provding 
different static archive libraries. All these libraries are finally 
linked into executable.  Now rather than compiling every component with 
clang from scratch, I was thinking to pick one component at time to 
compile with clang and use GCC compiled static archives for other 
components to link into executable using clang compiler.  Would this 
always work ?

So my question is whether GCC compiled object/archives involving C/C++ 
code would always be compatible with clang generated object files and 
can be mixed together during link step using clang compiler.  Would this 
always work if I can make sure that our libraries are not using any 
features of C++11 .
