Is it OK to use gcc as the compiler? #11

Hi shark,

In prerequisites, you mention "clang installed in target system". Does shark project require clang as the compiler? How about gcc?

Thanks!

Best Regards Nan Xiao

If you want to use bpf module, you have to depend on clang, because only llvm have bpf backend, gcc don't have it yet. Install clang is simple, you don't need to install bpf llvm backend, it's already static linked into shark binary.
