Clang will now be default compiler

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!

There are a couple of problems with that. First: your product will die out if you don't compete. If you don't care, that's fine, but there is no use continuing to work on it if you can't keep it in good enough shape to maintain appeal.

The other problem is simply that your spiteful attempts to shit up the other project won't really work. You won't be able to replace existing code with broken code in the main branch effectively, and if you your new functionality which is broken is accepted it will eventually get fixed, and you've successfully scaffolded a new feature.
