Any updates for llvm-14?

[hjudt]

Are there any updates planned for llvm-14? My distro wants to remove llvm-12, and if there won't be any updates, I will have to stop maintaining the package. If there was a proper release tar ball, that would also be a nice thing...

I will try and get to this tonight, or if arch still isn't on 14, later this week once it's built or I have another dist installed.

Great, thanks!

I did not forget about this; in fact I now have a base NixOS install on the laptop. Need to get set up more then should be good to go.

(I haven't forgotten about this; aiming for updates for clang-13 and clang-14 this weekend.)

Updating to llvm-13 happened; -14 may happen within the next week or so.

The NixOS move was not as nice as I'd like. They have the stuff, but it's an incredibly broken and dev-unfriendly environment. E.g., getting even clangd to cooperate with the proper build deps has proven impossible; I had it finally working with a trivial C++ program (std headers located), but it then has issues finding libclang. Also the default.nix no longer built c2ffi. 😂

Open to suggestions about well-documented distros with easily-configured sub-environments, but seems like a pipe dream.

Thank you for the update, I will try the update for llvm-13 on gentoo. Update for llvm-14 will certainly be very welcomed too ;-)

I have updated the package c2ffi for llvm-13 on gentoo (waiting for merge) and it compiled and installed without any problems. Actually I could also compile it using llvm-14, but would that actually work correctly?

Ack sorry I was hoping to have a chance to do a rewrite for 14 and that didn't happen; was hoping to at least do a simple update this weekend .. will try to hit this tomorrow.

If this builds with 14 unchanged that's good news though.

[hjudt]

Any news for llvm-14 maybe? At the moment it is not very pressing because llvm-13 is still the stable version in portage, but I thought I'd ask again because it is still on my tasks list...

[rpav]

As you noted this builds fine with llvm-14. I finally pushed a branch as such. Generally if this still builds, it's probably working; if I get a chance to do a rewrite, better tests will be integrated!
