Anyone testing on llvm compiler? (I'm trying it now on linux F9 x86_64 llvm-2.4)
I believe that the llvm support for C++ is best described as "currently quite limited". I expect this to change over the next year or so, though.
The clang front end is certainly only in an experimental stage, but LLVM also support the gcc front end (LLVM-gcc) which means that its C++ support should be about as good as native GCC. As the backend is quite different and there might be some small differences in the front end, it might still make sense to test on it.
I built boost-1.37.0 using llvm-2.4 + llvm-gcc-4.2-2.4. Using boost::python I get: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0xfffffffffd4c3720 in ??
