Hi gang!
This evening I rebuilt my (virtual) FreeBSD test and play environment which I'm using in VirtualBox. I picked up a 'boot only' ISO for FreeBSD 9.2 and have been busy installing and compiling.
Now, I'm aware that clang is part of the base system. First of all there's an /usr/bin/clang entry, but I can also confirm as much by checking the source tree which I keep on my server; it becomes obvious if you come across a directory like this: /usr/src/usr.bin/clang.
However, I just started to notice that during most of the day in which I've been busy I haven't seen any Clang-generated warnings appearing on my screen. None what so ever. Which makes me wonder if GCC is still heavily in effect.
On my server I installed lang/clang33 ever since I started using the source tree (I became aware of this project shortly after I started building a custom kernel). On my virtual environment I haven't done this (yet) because I was convinced that the base system would be able to provide.
And that brings me to my question: do you need to install lang/clang33 in order to fully utilize Clang or can you already rely on the base system?
Thanks in advance for any comments!
