I can only praise kpneal for this very well argumented post. However =
some remarks.
The whole argument revolves around FUD, fear, uncertainty and doubt. But =
there will
never be any shortage of lawyers trying to spread FUD on any subject to =
please their
clients, and if companies "bend over" instead of fighting FUD they will =
promptly be paralyzed.
Last time a company tried to use such tactic against Linux, it did not =
turn out a bright
idea. Second, FreeBSD is not a commercial company, and while this =
argument may have a merit
for commercial sponsors of FreeBSD, it has zero bearing on FreeBSD =
itself. If FreeBSD appears
as a subsidiary of some commercial company (say Juniper) i am not sure =
this will be good
for its further development. This being said, i agree with you that the =
FreeBSD binaries will
not see a big performance degradation through the use of clang, so, as =
long as gcc is in the ports
to be used with performance critical stuff, it is no big deal. Anyways =
as a long time FreeBSD
user i have seen clang presented as an experiment by two or three =
people, and then suddenly stuffed
without any discussion in the base system, apparently for political =
reasons that i don't share
(i mean this stupid obsession of "GPL free" system, which has replaced =
the previous focus on
quality and performance).
