cling Update to most recent Clang version for C++17 and 20 support?

Are there any plans to update the version of clang used? Would love to have C++20 support in an interactive environment.

Yes, it is planed. At the moment, @vgvassilev planning the port to LLVM 13. Unfortunately this upgrade will take some time, because we need to replace the old OrcJITv1 API with the OrcJITv2 API, which is a big change and needs a lot of verification.

By the way, the Cling developers are working hard to get as many of the Cling-specific Clang patches into the Clang/LLVM upstream as possible to speed up future upgrades to new LLVM versions. You can see the progress in the slides from the monthly compiler research meeting.
