Clang Update

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick update on my progress getting clang/LLVM to
support  
Objective-C code generation on the GNU runtime.  As of the
patch I  
just sent for review, the following work:

- Class, protocol and category declarations / definitions.
- Message sends to classes and objects.  Selectors are not
yet cached,  
so these are slow.
- protocol() and encode().

The following are still to do:

- Message sends to super.
- Constant Objective-C strings.
- ObjectiveC 2.0 stuff (including synchronized)

I'd like to start testing compiling GNUstep with clang in
the next  
week or so.  I seem to remember having problems persuading
GNUstep  
Make to use a different compiler to the default one in the
past.  Can  
someone tell me what I need to do to try building -base (for
example)  
with a different compiler?

David

I'd think you could just configure gnustep-make with

./configure CC=mycc

Then CC is stored in the config.make in the Makefiles
directory.
Although both -make and -base probably are looking for a lot
of gcc  
specific flags and things, so it might be some work hacking
the  
configuration to work around that.
