Confronting Clang and Fedora
- Track: LLVM devroom
- Room: K.4.201
- Day: Saturday
- Start: 12:10
- End: 12:50
GCC is the default toolchain to build C/C++ packages in Fedora. Meanwhile OpenMandrivia already builds most of its package with the LLVM toolchain, the Debian archive is regularly rebuilt with with a recent verion of clang... So could we try that for Fedora?
This talk describes an on-going effort to achieve that goal while keeping the same compiler feature set as GCC.
Subtopics of the talk include:
- Creating a clang-based buildroot and use it to rebuild the fedora user-land (and more?)
- Support for missing security features such as -fstack-clash-protection or -DFORTIFYSOURCE=2
- Add missing features for the annobin tool within lld
- Python3 compatibity
- Package size
