 <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
-of C support are:</p>

-  <li>The semantic analyzer does not produce all of the warnings and errors it

-  <li>The LLVM code generator is still missing important features.  clang is not
-      ready to be used as a general purpose C code generator yet, but if you
-      hit problems and report them to cfe-dev, we'll fix them :).</li>

   <li>We don't consider the API to be stable yet, and reserve the right to
       change fundamental things.</li>

-<p>Our plan is to continue chipping away at these issues until C works really
