Hi,
Just a quick note to tell you that PCRE 7.6 (latest version) compiles fine
with clang and the compiled binary passes the test suite as well.
---
compiler | compile+link time | test suite run time | binary size
gcc 4.1 | 17s | 1.9s | 43KB
clang+llvm | 1m 13s | 1.4s | 188KB
---
Although llvm is much slower at compiling (the linking part seems to be
really slow due to the -O2 optimizations), the binary produced is much
faster :)
Congratulations to everybody ;)
Nuno
P.S.: PHP still doesn't compile :S
P.S.2.: why isn't LLVM deployed to replace gcc? isn't it capable to act as a
drop-in replacement for gcc with the gcc front-end (for now)?
