I just upgraded a VM to -CURRENT, and I was wondering about a few things related to it.
1. What is clang? An alternative to gcc? In which way is it superior since FreeBSD switches to it?
2. Do I have to do anything (edit make.conf, etc) for clang to take effect, or will it take effect automatically?
3. I am studying CS and most of the time I have to compile/run C and C++ codes. Is it OK if I use gcc on FreeBSD or should I use my Debian Linux installation for that?
Thanks!
