Using iOS 7 SDK with llvm-gcc-4.2


I've installed xcode 5 and noticed that gcc compiler is deprecated. Assuming that I don't want to switch to Apple LLVM 5.0, here come my questions:

Is it possible to use iOS7 SDK and still compile in llvm-gcc-4.2?

If yes, how to do this?

If you don't know if that's possible, please don't post answers like "use clang, man", because they are not actually answering the questions I've posted.


Solution

  • Apple has removed the support for llvm-gcc-4.2 in XCode 5. Even if you install and change your base sdk to 6.1 sdk, you won't be able to build using llvm-gcc-4.2. So your only option is to continue using XCode 4.x if you want to use llvm-gcc-4.2.
