Which is better clang cling or clang runtime?


Asked by Zaiden Simon on Nov 30, 2021 FAQ



Once we start Cling it automatically includes several header files and its own runtime universe. Thus it creates the minimal environment for the user to start. Cling is capable to parse everything that Clang can do. In addition, Cling can parse some interpreter-specific C++ extensions.
Thereof,
The only difference between the two is that clang links against only the C standard library if it performs a link, whereas clang++ links against both the C++ and C standard libraries.
One may also ask, Clang is a compiler front end for the C, C++, Objective-C and Objective-C++ programming languages. It uses the Low Level Virtual Machine (LLVM) as its back end, and as such Clang is part of LLVM releases since LLVM 2.6. Its goal is to offer a replacement to the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). Development is sponsored by Apple.
Furthermore,
Visual Studio detects that you're using the Clang compiler and provides IntelliSense, highlighting, navigation, and other editing features. Errors and warnings are displayed in the Output Window. The project property pages for a Clang configuration are similar to the ones for MSVC.
