5044	Choice of C compiler on OMEdit under Linux is currently confusing	Francesco Casella	Adeel Asghar	"OMEdit under Linux uses clang to compile C code, which makes it very fast, BTW. However, Tools|Options|Simulation|Target compiler shows a list of compilers including gcc and various MSVC flavours, which obviously do not apply in that case, while not mentioning clang at all.

I hardly see any reason to still use gcc on Linux, since clang works much faster and is the only option we use for all our testing, so a quick fix would be to just remove that choice entirely from the option window in the Linux version. 

If there is any reason to still give the choice between gcc and clang (e.g. for library dependency in some cases using external statically compiled code?), then the choices menu should correspond to what actually happens once you click the simulate button.

I guess the situation is similar with MacOS, but I cannot verify it myself."	defect	closed	high	1.14.0	OMEdit		fixed		albertoleva Adrian Pop
