This is the main thing I was getting behind, making cross compiling slightly easier (in regards to C/C++ sources). As also pointed out, whole program optimization can be one major benefit to integrating Clang like this.<br>

I think the main advantage to trying to use Clang for compiling C/C++<br>
would be that it would enable us to do whole program optimisation<br>
across Haskell and C/C++. It could also make cross compiling slightly<br>
easier. These ideas are defiantly something I&#39;d like to investigate<br>
more in the future.</blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Cheers,<br>
