Is it me, or is openmandriva.org still not accessible? Everything else works fine for me, but openmandriva.org gets stuck trying to do TLS handshaking...

The primary motivation for building with clang is to improve code quality. In the process of cleaning up the kernel's code base to allow it to build on clang, hundreds of bugs and poor coding practices(like removing slow/error prone VLA's) had to be fixed. This is a win for the kernel.
Now that Clang can build the kernel, it can also benefit from Clang's additional warnings and Clang's Static Analyzer (scan-build).Last edited by slacka; 10 January 2020, 04:17 PM.

The best thing about clang when compared to gcc is its far more readable code base, not its license.
Just look at Google's Android the kernel is GPL while the the majority of software is closed source(e.g The play store)
