This would be one shot only. The next step would be to do automatic builds and publishing results of scan-build (a Clang static analysis tool). Would you be interested? It does seem to produce lot of fatal errors on lot of places, so it seems that php5 can be used to improve llvm/clang as well :). O. -- Ondřej Surý It does seem to produce lot of fatal errors on lot of places, so it seems > that php5 can be used to improve llvm/clang as well :). Recent clang versions work well for me with PHP. Earlier versions led to infinite hanging compilers and such which gave me some doubt about clang's state, while I like the way more helpful error messages clang provides than other compilers I know. I think it would be great if we could integrate scan-build and other checks into http://ci.qa.php.net/ and would give more focus on that. johannes --- ## #66839 — David Soria Parra — 2013-03-27T18:37:25+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/66819#66839 · In reply to: #66819 > --bcaec548a7f385895a04d8d51fce > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 > Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > > Hi, > > I am trying to build PHP 5.5beta1 with clang, so the question is: > > Would you be interested in the results?

I personally build PHP with clang most of the time and think we should use it's features to provide better analytics. Also I think since freebsd switched to clang ,we should ensure that PHP can be compiled with clang. Thank you very much for your work, David --- ## #66840 — Ferenc Kovacs — 2013-03-27T19:06:25+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/66819#66840 · In reply to: #66819 > Hi, > > I am trying to build PHP 5.5beta1 with clang, so the question is: > > Would you be interested in the results?
