While this work aims to provide a fully functional C/C++/ObjC front-end, it is still early work and is under heavy development. In particular, there is no real C++ support yet (this is obviously a big project), and C/ObjC -support is still missing some features. Some of the more notable missing pieces -of C support are:

+support is still missing some minor features. Some of the more notable missing +pieces of C support are:

    -
  1. The semantic analyzer does not produce all of the warnings and errors it - should.
    2. -
  2. The LLVM code generator is still missing important features. clang is not - ready to be used as a general purpose C code generator yet, but if you - hit problems and report them to cfe-dev, we'll fix them :).

  3. The semantic analyzer does not produce all of the warnings it should.
  4. We don't consider the API to be stable yet, and reserve the right to change fundamental things.
    5. +
  5. The driver is currently implemented in python and is "really slow".

Our plan is to continue chipping away at these issues until C works really -well, but we'd love help from other interested contributors. We expect C to be -in good shape by mid to late 2008.

At this point, C and Objective-C are generally usable for X86-32 and X86-64 +targets. If you run into problems, please file bugs in LLVM Bugzilla or bring up the issue on the +Clang development +mailing list.
