That was version 5

I upgraded to version 9.0, and waited 32 hours and 41 minutes for the 
build of clang to finish. CPU Quad core ARM64, 4GB RAM, SSD of 1 TB, 
linux OS.

The executable of clang is 2.3GB with debug information. Stripped it 
shrinks to "just" 194MB.

It compiles the same code used for the benchmark above even slower: 
compilation time increases by 6 minutes. The figures are (with 
optimizations ON):

     1 lcc: 8.7 sec
     2 gcc 2minutes 48s
     3 clang: 32 minutes

This is progress: always fatter , always bigger, always more features, etc.

The generated code is WRONG and crashes immediately. I have sent a bug 
report to clang on monday, after receiving the authorization from them 
to do so.

So far no answer.
