clang version requirements?

Hi All,

Getting my "sea" legs under me building swift and company on Linux.
(Gentoo/x86-64 to be exact). In the docs I see Ubuntu 3.6 r100 as the
minimum mentioned for llvm/clang.

As API and standard support within the llvm/clang/clang++ universe can
change a bit, I was wondering if there was any issues with later
versions such as 3.7 or 3.8?

Thanks!

Hi, Tom. I wouldn't expect 3.7 or 3.8 to cause any problems when used as the compiler building Swift. You'll note that Swift embeds its own version of LLVM and Clang for later use; it will not (and cannot) use the standard one on your system. More information on that is available on the Swift website <Swift.org - Contributing.

If you encounter any issues, please bring them up on this list!
