LLVM 2.8 was released last month with the Clang compiler
having feature-complete C++ support, enhancements to the DragonEgg GCC
plug-in, a near feature-complete alternative to libstdc++, a drop-in
system assembler, ARM code-generation improvements, and many other
changes. With there being great interest in the Low-Level Virtual
Machine, we have conducted a large LLVM-focused compiler comparison at
Phoronix of GCC with versions 4.2.1 through 4.6-20101030, GCC 4.5.1
using the DragonEgg 2.8 plug-in, LLVM-GCC with LLVM 2.8 and GCC 4.2, and
lastly with Clang on LLVM 2.8.
