The kernel is written in the C programming language [c-language].
More precisely, the kernel is typically compiled with gcc [gcc] under -std=gnu89 [gcc-c-dialect-options]: the GNU dialect of ISO C90 (including some C99 features)..
CLANG is considered to be a production-quality C, Objective-C, C++, and Objective-C++ compiler when targeting X86-32, X86-64, and ARM.
It is a new C/C++ compiler standard (C++98, C++11, C++17, C++20, C++23 .) supported by The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure Project, and has been a default compiler in recent years for most C/C++ compilers.
If you want to migrate from building simple exe files to complex professional applications, we highly recommend using a professional C++ compiler with an advanced IDE from the start.
Let’s start with understanding IDE, Compiler and CLANG terms.
What is a C++ IDE.
What do we mean by a C++ Compiler for Windows.
What is the CLANG C and C++ Compiler? .
C++ 20 is new and needs adaptation time.
We highly recommend you start with or to move to a CLANG Enhanced compilers like Embarcadero’s C++ Builder, which supports the CLANG (C++11, C++ 17) standard and has its own C++ Compiler, IDE, GUI Designer, and more.
The C++Builder Standards and Clang Enhanced Compiler features can be found here.
In few weeks, they released a new patch which fixes C++ Builder LSP features and some other issues.
Thus, RAD Studio / C++ Builder 11.1 Alexandria – Patch 1 is the best IDE and compiler version.
If you have any earlier version, we highly recommend you update to this version.
Here are some official posts about RADS 11.1 and 11.1 – Patch 1 versions .
