Re: will netbsd be sticking with gcc?



I know that deep within the source tree (I believe it's somewhere in $SRCROOT/share/mk), there is a piece of documentation which explains that portions of NetBSD depend on GCC's extensions... so that limits compilers which can compile NetBSD to clang/llvm and GCC... however, is there any documentation which describe which source files depend on what extensions?

Actually, NetBSD has 3 possible compilers: gcc, clang/llvm, and pcc.
Each compiler works for its subsets of targets.
