<p>Clang code generation still needs considerable testing and development,
however. Some areas under active development include:</p>
<ul>
<li> Improved support for C and Objective-C features, for example
variable-length arrays, va_arg, exception handling (Obj-C), and garbage
collection (Obj-C). </li>
<li> ABI compatibility, especially for platforms other than 32-bit
x86. </li>
