Tiny C Compiler - C Scripting Everywhere - The Smallest ANSI C compiler----------------------------------------------------------------------- Features:-------- - SMALL! You can compile and execute C code everywhere, for example on  rescue disks. - FAST! tcc generates optimized x86 code. No byte code  overhead. Compile, assemble and link about 7 times faster than 'gcc  -O0'. - UNLIMITED! Any C dynamic library can be used directly. TCC is  heading toward full ISOC99 compliance. TCC can of course compile  itself. - SAFE! tcc includes an optional memory and bound checker. Bound  checked code can be mixed freely with standard code. - Compile and execute C source directly. No linking or assembly  necessary. Full C preprocessor included. - C script supported : just add '#!/usr/local/bin/tcc -run' at the first  line of your C source, and execute it directly from the command  line. Documentation:------------- 1) Installation on a i386/x86_64/arm Linux/OSX/FreeBSD host    ./configure   make   make test   make install    Notes: For OSX and FreeBSD, gmake should be used instead of make.   For Windows read tcc-win32.txt. makeinfo must be installed to compile the doc.  By default, tcc isinstalled in /usr/local/bin.  ./configure --help  shows configurationoptions.  2) Introduction We assume here that you know ANSI C. Look at the example ex1.c to knowwhat the programs look like. The include file <tcclib.h> can be used if you want a small basic libcinclude support (especially useful for floppy disks). Of course, youcan also use standard headers, although they are slower to compile. You can begin your C script with '#!/usr/local/bin/tcc -run' on the firstline and set its execute bits (chmod a+x your_script). Then, you canlaunch the C code as a shell or perl script :-) The command linearguments are put in 'argc' and 'argv' of the main functions, as inANSI C. 3) Examples ex1.c: simplest example (hello world). Can also be launched directlyas a script: './ex1.c'. ex2.c: more complicated example: find a number with the fouroperations given a list of numbers (benchmark). ex3.c: compute fibonacci numbers (benchmark). ex4.c: more complicated: X11 program. Very complicated test in factbecause standard headers are being used ! As for ex1.c, can also be launcheddirectly as a script: './ex4.c'. ex5.c: 'hello world' with standard glibc headers. tcc.c: TCC can of course compile itself. Used to check the codegenerator. tcctest.c: auto test for TCC which tests many subtle possible bugs. Usedwhen doing 'make test'. 4) Full Documentation Please read tcc-doc.html to have all the features of TCC. Additional information is available for the Windows port in tcc-win32.txt.
