[cfe-dev] status of llvm+clang on OpenBSD kernel

[Amit Kulkarni]

Hi,

On the occasion of llvm+clang 2.9 release in the very near future, I
have some good news to report.

I am running on a Clang compiled OpenBSD AMD64 -current kernel as of
llvm+clang svn rev 128001 for quite a few days now. Was running it for
quite a few days to make sure everything's okay.

Some OpenBSD devs might know, because the code has changed to be
compilable in clang, but they don't tell. The last time I tried it a
few months ago, it wouldn't work for some reason, now it does work
fine even with daily changes being introduced in OpenBSD -current.
Size of clang compiled kernel is the same as system gcc 4.2.1 compiled
kernel.

I don't know the status of the other architectures/platforms (i386,
ARM, MIPS, Sparc64 etc.) on OpenBSD, maybe somebody else can report.

Thought you guys might like to know.

OpenBSD userland and xenocara (X.org distro) still have some problems
(hopefully they will be solved soon).

Thanks
