Also, I had both clang 3.6 and 3.7 installed, but though I installed 3.7
after 3.6, it was not set up as the default version of clang. Then I
removed 3.6 and there was no default version of clang (I still had to use
clang-3.7 and clang++-3.7 to invoke them). Is there a proper way to set
up 3.7 as the default version on Debian?
Maybe 'update-alternatives'?
No, compilers on Debian do not use the alternatives facility. The
symlinks to the default versions are hardcoded. I have clang 3.6, 3.7,
and 3.8 installed and 3.6 is still the default.
I configure Octave for clang with
CC="clang-$ver" CXX="clang++-$ver -stdlib=libc++"
(the latter option instructs clang to use libc++ instead of libstdc++).
