Saat ini, GCC memiliki dukungan yang jauh lebih baik dan lebih lengkap untuk fitur C++ 11 daripada Clang. Selain itu, pembuat kode untuk GCC melakukan pengoptimalan yang lebih baik daripada yang ada di Clang (menurut pengalaman saya, saya belum melihat pengujian yang lengkap).
Di sisi lain, Clang sering mengompilasi kode lebih cepat daripada GCC, dan menghasilkan pesan kesalahan yang lebih baik jika ada yang salah dengan kode Anda.
Pilihan mana yang akan digunakan sangat tergantung pada hal-hal apa yang penting bagi Anda. Saya lebih menghargai dukungan C++11 dan kualitas pembuatan kode daripada kenyamanan kompilasi. Karena itu, saya menggunakan GCC. Bagi Anda, komprominya bisa berbeda.
EDIT:
Orang-orang gcc benar-benar meningkatkan pengalaman diagnosis di gcc (kompetisi ah). Mereka membuat halaman wiki untuk menampilkannya di sini. gcc 4.8 sekarang juga memiliki diagnostik yang cukup baik (gcc 4.9x menambahkan dukungan warna). Dentang masih memimpin, tetapi jaraknya semakin dekat.
Asli:
Untuk siswa, saya akan merekomendasikan Dentang tanpa syarat.
Performa dalam hal kode yang dihasilkan antara gcc dan Dentang sekarang tidak jelas (walaupun menurut saya gcc 4.7 masih memimpin, saya belum melihat tolok ukur konklusif), tetapi bagi siswa untuk mempelajarinya, itu tidak terlalu penting.
Di sisi lain, diagnostik Clang yang sangat jelas jelas lebih mudah ditafsirkan oleh pemula.
Pertimbangkan cuplikan sederhana ini:
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
struct Student {
std::string surname;
std::string givenname;
}
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& out, Student const& s) {
return out << "{" << s.surname << ", " << s.givenname << "}";
}
int main() {
Student me = { "Doe", "John" };
std::cout << me << "\n";
}
Anda akan segera menyadari bahwa titik koma hilang setelah definisi dari Student kelas kan :) ?
Yah, gcc juga memperhatikannya, setelah mode:
prog.cpp:9: error: expected initializer before ‘&’ token
prog.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
prog.cpp:15: error: no match for ‘operator<<’ in ‘std::cout << me’

Dan Dentang juga tidak benar-benar dibintangi di sini, tapi tetap saja:

Saya sengaja memilih contoh yang memicu pesan kesalahan yang tidak jelas (berasal dari ambiguitas dalam tata bahasa) daripada contoh khas "Ya Tuhan, baca pikiran saya". Namun, kami melihat bahwa Dentang menghindari banjir kesalahan. Tidak perlu menakut-nakuti siswa.
