I'm in the same boat. A large code base relying on GCC and Boost heavily.

The code builds with Clang, but the runtime crashes deep inside Boost.

It's been very frustrating because we're well past the point where refactoring-out Boost would be cost effective.

I'm curious: What was the motivation for switching in the first place? And why is staying with the proven tool not the better option?

My own case: It makes no sense to migrate our (relatively small by the sound of it) codebase. It is in production, generating money, and anything that interferes with that is simply not going to be considered. Our largest dependencies are wxWidgets, ffmpeg, libcurl: It has performed well, though not without some hiccups.


iOS.

Apple won't allow us to submit apps built with Xcode 4.1 forever. (4.1 was the last to include GCC.)


headslap Right. I live in a windoze-centric place at the moment (at least for compile) and forgot the world is bigger.

Thanks for the reply.
