What is clang

clang 1. A loud, resonant, metallic sound. 2. The strident call of a crane or goose. 3. C-language family front-end toolkit. The goal of the Clang project is to create a new C, C++, Objective C and Objective C++ front-end for the LLVM compiler. Its tools are built as libraries and designed to be loosely-coupled and extensible. Install compiler-rt if you want the Blocks C language extension or to enable sanitization and profiling options when building, and libomp-devel to enable -fopenmp.
