fink defaulting to clang for Lion

Clang Frontend
1

Just to let everyone know that we should shortly be getting some
exhaustive testing of clang 3.0svn from darwin. Today my patches for
defaulting fink (http://finkproject.org) to use the clang compiler for
cc/gcc and clang++ for c++/g++ on Lion has been checked into fink cvs.
So far in my own testing, clang 3.0svn has been holding up very well
with no codegen regressions except...

http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=9684

which is a problem common to both llvm-gcc and clang (so I assume
the issue lies in llvm).

Good to see things aren't exploding left and right. :slight_smile:

I'll try to take a look at the bug you pointed out...

Eli,
   Actually I built quite a lot and have really only run into language compliance
issues. Fortunately FSF gcc is slowly converging on the same strictness as clang for
language syntax so these issues won't be a clong-only problem.
