FreeBSD 10 To Use Clang Compiler, Deprecate GCC
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTEwMjI
As indicated by the Q1-2012 FreeBSD Status Report, LLVM's Clang compiler is quickly replacing GCC for this popular BSD operating system. The developers are also making much progress in a GNU-free C++11 stack. For FreeBSD 10 they're aiming for Clang as the default C/C++ compiler, deprecate GCC, and to have a BSD-licensed C++ stack.
While the Q1-2012 FreeBSD Status Report was just talked about in the afore-linked article, the Clang and C++ items warranted their own more detailed article.
Going back to 2009, FreeBSD developers have worked to replace GCC with LLVM/Clang. Over time, there's been numerous improvements especially with the FreeBSD 9.0 release. The FreeBSD developers are interested in doing away with the GPL-licensed GNU Compiler Collection and instead use the Apple-sponsored LLVM/Clang work that's under a BSD-like license.
GCC is garbage, stop using it!
