Hello,
Looking at a Fedora thread ( https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2020 ) about changing the compiler from gcc to clang to build Firefox,
I noticed the following statement:
"Clang lags significantly behind GCC on security hardening"
Some of the arguments or missing features are discussed here:
https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2020#comment-546825 and other answers
https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2020#comment-545776
I am wondering if these statements are accurate and if they are enough of a worry?
Thanks,
Sylvestre
