Now, now. LLVM and clang are very interesting projects but changing compilers just because of one feature isn't smart. GCC is good enough in that area and the code it generates is amazing, it often beats every other C compiler out there. And that helps keeping readable code optimized.

Microsoft and Intel are well-known to generate better code than GCC. So I don't know what you are referring to with "every other C compiler out there."
