Optional Clang support #11

Closed vaygr closed 7 years ago

vaygr commented 7 years ago

Hi,

it'd be great to have Clang support here in order to be able to build cld3-ruby native extensions on systems with older GCC (like 4.6), but with Clang (e.g. 3.4) available.

For this, only g++ version just needs to be checked, and if it's <4.7, then fallback to clang++ if it's available. For this case extconf.rb can be edited to have CXX config value set conditionally:

RbConfig::MAKEFILE_CONFIG['CXX'] = "clang++"

I checked both 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 build just fine with Clang 3.4+.

Thanks in advance.

You should build Ruby with clang if you want to use it to build this library. Please try that and see if it works.

I'm closing this issue, marking invalid; it is expected to work with clang if Ruby is built with the same compiler. If not, please tell me and I'll remove invalid label.
