In other projects, you can add than since r221831, «lld now bootstraps on
darwin» which is probably noteworthy ;-)

> ## News and articles from around the web
>
> Chrome on Linux [now uses Clang for production
> builds](http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.clang.devel/39700).
> Clang has of course been used on OS X Chrome for quite some time. The
switch
> saw reduction in binary size of ~8%, but this was vs GCC 4.6 rather than
> something more up-to-date.

> The LLVM in HPC workshop at SC14 is taking place on Monday and the full
agenda

> ## On the mailing lists
>
> * Duncan P.N. Exon Smith has posted an [RFC on splitting out metadata from
the
> Value
> hierarchy](http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.llvm.devel/78738).
> There seems to be general support for the idea. If you have concerns, now
is
> the time to speak up.
>
> * Tom Stellard has posted a proposed [LLVM/Clang 3.5.1 release
> schedule](http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.llvm.devel/78752).
RC1
> is currently planned for November 26th.
>
> * Zachary Turner raised the issue [referencing Apple rdar bugs in commit
> messages](http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.debugging.lldb.devel/5710).
The
> concern is that sometimes the commit messages are hard to work out without
the
> context of the bug, which many of us do not have access to.
