This is not necessarily true. If someone puts the work in, then yes. However, if developers focus on integrating LLVM with base (and I’ve certainly seen more OpenBSD devs using LLVM than pcc), then it will very likely be LLVM instead.

Not that anybody’s opposed to moving to pcc. The only problem is the work that remains to be done. In my personal opinion, the most likely way that pcc will get jump‐started in OpenBSD would be if someone were to add support for the gcc2 architectures.

I recall reading on the pcc mailing list that C++ support is eventually planned, but it’s not close enough to be on any roadmap.
