I don't really see using an external compiler as "competing" with CEDET. I agree with you on this point: Clang is not competing with CEDET. The problem with Clang is that it is competing with GCC. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
