Debian testing packages with Clang |
|
The Debian project strives to provide a universal operating system, one that can run on multiple hardware architectures, with multiple kernels, and possibly even being built with multiple compilers. Work has been going into building Debian packages with Clang, which offers some alternative ways to check for coding errors and regressions. "Even if most of the software are still using GCC as compiler, we can see that Clang has a positive effect on code quality. With many different kinds of errors and warnings found clang over the years, we noticed a steady decline of the number of errors. For example, the number of incorrect C/C++ main declarations has been decreasing.". A blog post highlights the work and improvements going into Debian packages to make them build with alternative compilers like Clang and a web page has been set up which tracks the status of packages which fail to build with compilers other than the GNU Compiler Collection. |
