Xcode 4.5 project warning - “Upgrade Compiler configuration to LLVM”

votes

I moved a project originally coded in XCode 4.2 to XCode 4.5 and now I am getting the following warning when i build -

The compiler configuration is set to 'com.apple.compilers.llvmgcc42'. This will upgrade to 'Apple LLVM compiler 4.1', which is recommended setting for iOS targets'

I am unable to understand what versions of compilers are being referred. I searched for compiler version, but I am still confused between the terms "Apple LLVM" and "LLVM GCC". Pls help.

Don't worry about LLVM GCC, It will not exist starting in the version of Xcode that comes after 4.6 (4.7 or 5.0) – borrrden
I still want some clarity about the terms. A summary on the difference between these compilers. – Tushar Koul
