Whoa, really? Since when??
After a lifetime of using GCC, I (like many others) moved to clang a few years ago, out of frustration with the slow development of GCC, a desire to use new C++ features, and stayed because of the superior error messages and, in my use cases anyway, superior code generation.
In addition, I gather it's a much cleaner and easier to maintain code base. As a result, we get to have cool things like emscripten, llvmpipe, all sorts of static analysis tools that would be more challenging to build in the GCC universe, and much more.
Honestly, I thought GCC was slowing down development wise.
Is GCC worth trying again? Can you name a few "cool new things" I can do with GCC that I can't with clang? There's plenty of the opposite...
