[cfe-dev] newbie

[Chris Moller via cfe-dev]

I just found clang/llvm a few days ago.  It looks very cool, but if you  
don't mind a right-off-the-bat observation, somewhere in the Unix-like 
build recipe it would be very handy if you'd caution new users about the 
memory size need to build clang.  My machine has 4GB of RAM and I had 
another 4GB of swap space--and that wasn't enough. Another 4GB of swap 
wasn't enough.  Ultimately, I  had to tick it up to a total of 10GB of 
swap--monitoring things with the "top" utility, the biggest memory 
requirement I saw was just a little short of 11GB.

In Fedora Linux, it's easy enough to create temporary additional swap 
spaces, but I've no idea, if it's not the same, how to do that in other 
distros.

Anyway, cool stuff, and I'm looking forward to fiddling with it.
