#48768 closed enhancement (fixed)

julia: use llvm-3.6 or -3.7

Description

julia currently uses llvm-3.5. Could this please be changed to use a newer stable version of llvm, such as llvm-3.6 or (after #48759 is resolved) llvm-3.7?

julia also defaults to the gcc49 variant, but gcc5 is the latest stable version; perhaps gcc5 could be used by default as well.

Yeah, I'll look into it this weekend.

Looks like julia 0.3.x won't be supporting this and only the 0.4 release will. I've updated to use gcc5 as the default but will hold off on the llvm changes until 0.4 is out.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

I've updated the compilers portgroup to use gcc5, so I'll mark this as fixed (since 0.4 is the version of julia to support newer llvm).
