Clang is an alternative C/C++ compiler based on LLVM infrastructure. While the primary system compiler in yocto project is GCC, clang offers some advantages in some usecases, this talk will go over firstly on how to use clang compiler in Yocto project based distributions. secondly it will talk about cases where it make more sense to use it and where it maybe not as effective, In some cases it could be beneficial to use it surgically for some large scale C++ apps.
