But what's next? Just recognizing it does not provide much benefit. Clang should be supported properly by adjusting cmake behaviour where needed. This can only be done by a developer having enough knowledge of both cmake & clang. I don't see this happening unless you provide a patch which can be pushed to cmake upstream or upstream suddenly sees interest in supporting Clang. Having this as Debian-specific feature does not make sense at all. Or Is Clang interface designed to be compatible with GNU compiler? -- Modestas Vainius <modes...@vainius.eu>
