[Scons-dev] SCons and Clang

[Jason Kenny]

I 100% agree.

I have a tool in Parts here: https://bitbucket.org/sconsparts/parts/src/6a57ea6ae48acf491cda5ab8c1d45fd53d4543c2/parts/tools/clang.py?at=master&fileviewer=file-view-default 

There are some different options that can show up and a great options to have ( given we have some better configuration support in SCons ) is to have added the to force color output. This is also true for gcc in newer versions. The force of color allows for the useful and pretty output that clang provides to the users, that is turned off otherwise, because we are redirecting text output through a pipe

For SCons 3.0 we really ought to have clang and clang++ tools as standard out of the box with no hacking needed. As I understand it, Clang follows GCC command line options, though I guess there are variations. So as a first stab, I'll create clang.py and clang++.py by copying and amending gcc.py and
g++.py.

Assuming someone hasn't already done this, and assuming no-one can see a fault with the line of reasoning.
