Why one would need "C/C++ LLVM-Family Compiler Build Support" plugin? [message #1823176]

There is this optional component for Eclipse CDT "C/C++ LLVM-Family Compiler Build Support" that supposedly helps you to work with Clang ("C/C++ LLVM-Family Compiler" is just a long way to say Clang) compiler. In fact there is nothing helpful in this plugin. It only shows weird warnings that it can't find clang or it gets in a way with its automatically detected and enforced libraries.

All one has to do to work with clang is to change g++ to clang++ here:

index.php/fa/37632/0/

index.php/fa/37632/0/

That's it.

Anyone uses this plugin? What's the benefit?

Hi,

Try the 2020-03 version of the CDT. That should work.

Why? Changing g++ to clang++ works perfectly. I am curious what this plugin gives me besides that.
