Clang C Language Family Frontend for LLVM The Clang project provides a language front-end and tooling infrastructure for languages in the C language family (C, C++, Objective C C++, OpenCL, and CUDA) for the LLVM project
Clang - Wikipedia Clang retains more information during the compiling process than GCC, and preserves the overall form of the original code, making it easier to map errors back into the original source Clang's error reports are more detailed, specific, and machine-readable, so IDEs can index the compiler's output

What is the difference between clang (and LLVM) and gcc g++? Clang is a front-end for LLVM that processes C-family languages: C, C++, Objective C, Objective C++ Clang converts C C++ etc to LLVM IR, LLVM performs optimizations on the IR, and the LLVM x86 backend writes out x86 machine code for execution
Apple Open Source Clang is an "LLVM native" C C++ Objective-C compiler, which aims to deliver amazingly fast compiles, extremely useful error and warning messages and to provide a platform for building great source level tools
How to Install the New Version of Clang LLVM on Windows When you want to compile for native Windows with Clang + MSVC By default, it uses the Visual Studio (MSVC) toolchain as backend on Windows (for linking, runtime, etc)
