Hi list, Eliot<br>
<br>
I just updated my xcode, and everything stops working... but that's not my question (I'm trying to fix it myself before ask anything). The question is more about something I thought while updating: apple is slowly replacing GCC compiler with LLVM... what will happen with Cog when that process is finished and I did not count with GCC for apple?<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Cog should continue to work if LLVM is correct. At Qwaq/Teleplace we used the Intel C compiler on Mac and it worked well. So Cog *should* work with any C compiler. I have at least built Cog with LLVM. The -O2 production VM crashes (in trying to create the Closed PIC prototype on initializing the JIT). But the -O1 assert and -O0 debug VMs do work. So I think long-term we will be able to move to LLVM. It's clearly not ready for prime time yet.</div>

(of course, I suppose gnu people will maintain gcc working, but we cannot know :( )<br>

cheers,<br>
