If tcc is supposed to compile ISO C, it is right to complain. If tcc wants to compile all what gcc compiles it has to support all gcc extensions as the one you're using with this sample.
IMHO a compiler should compile all valid code as determined by a standard (in our case different published versions ISO/IEC 9899 standard) and reject all other forms. So, tcc does the right job in your case. If you're bound to a specific language extension you're also bound a specific compiler and you'll easily compile your code on another compiler. You'd better rewrite your code so that is complies with the C standard level/version you want to support.

Another area where gcc compiles fine while tcc issues an error. Essentially: int i; i = strlen(s); int s2[i]; //tcc doesn't like this. tcc's error message is: wrong3.c:9: constant expression expected Code attached (21 lines). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- Orange vous informe que cet e-mail a ete controle par l'anti-virus mail.
