Hi Andy, I stepped into my code and followed the same path as you to where __divdi3 etc. is searched, but in my case it is found because libtcc1-32.a (which I got here: http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/tinycc/tcc-0.9.27-win32-bin.zip) contains the version with 2 underscores:

I'm forced to use Gmail on my phone.) I've made progress with debugging and now have good stdout and intermittent gdb, by which I mean I can see locals and source and line numbers and do all that debug stuff like stepping and breakpoints, but then it will randomly decide to spew errors every time I touch the keyboard or mouse, making it uncontrollable. At this point I'm mostly just printing to stdout. Though I got much better stability by redirecting the program's stdin from a file. I confirmed that libtcc1.a is being found and read by tcc_load_archive() which calls tcc_load_alacarte() on the archive member called "/". This then iterates through the archive symbol index, calling find_elf_sym() on everything, which I'm printing out: ___divddi3 ___moddi3 ___udivdi3 And so on. However, find_elf_sym() returns 0 for everything, so tcc_load_alacarte() never goes on to call tcc_load_object_file() to load the actual object file archive member. Prior to tcc_load_archive() being called, I see add_elf_sym() being called with name="__ashldi3" and sh_num=SHN_UNDEF in preparation to load said symbol from wherever. So there's the big clue. The code is asking for ashldi3 with two leading underscores, but the archive index contains ashldi3 with three leading underscores. Thus, the archive object libtcc1.o doesn't contain the requested symbol and therefore is not loaded. I read that on 32-bit (but not 64-bit) Windows, "cdecl" function names are prefixed by an underscore. (Also I see _tclStubs, which is a global variable, has an underscore prefix too.) There's a fair bit of code in tcc to address this, for example in pe_find_import(), but there's no analogue in tcc_load_alacarte(). It seems odd adding PE-specific symbol mangling code to tcc_load_alacarte() which lives in tccelf.c. Instead, I feel it makes more sense for the PE-specific part of put_extern_sym2() to handle FUNC_CDECL when can_add_underscore is true. This... works? Kind of? When I try it, it indeed calls tcc_load_object_file() because ___ashldi3 now matches. But then it fails with an "invalid object file" error, since tcc_load_object_file() chokes on the object file not starting with the ELF header magic number. And it makes perfect sense that it would fail, since the object file is in PE format, not ELF. How is this expected to work? Is it wrong to put PE object files in an "ar" archive? That's how the makefile does it on all platforms, so clearly that's intended.

The path that I passed to those functions has a sub-folder called lib that contains libtcc1-32.a and libtcc1-64.a, Not sure it’s that simple in tcc4tccl but hope that helps.

This is working fine with 32-bit Linux but not Windows. In trying to force linking with libtcc1.a, I hit more problems. The main issue is that without "-Wl,-whole-archive", the linker sees no reason to include any part of libtcc1.a, since no part of the application uses it. Then when I do use "-Wl,-whole-archive", I get other link errors due to other object files in libtcc1.a that I don't care about, stuff about WinMain or whatever. Sorry, I didn't bother to take detailed notes on that, since I moved on to directly trying to pull in libtcc1.o and alloca86.o since that's all I think I need. But while I did get them to link by hand, I couldn't figure out how to mechanize the required link command within the framework of the Tcl application build system, so I couldn't invoke the rest of the build process needed to give the interpreter its virtual filesystem. So I'm stepping back from that to ask how it's supposed to work for my application to link to libtcc1.a rather than rely on tcc to dynamically load libtcc1.a, which is what it's doing nicely on Linux already. Granted, this libtcc1.a dynamic loading might be bolted onto tcc by the patches that come with tcc4tcl, so if anything I'm saying sounds alien to the design of tcc, let me know so I can bug the tcc4tcl author instead. I tried hard to use gdb to debug dynamic loading, but it's proving to be a nightmare in Windows. gdb is not showing me my arguments, it's claiming all functions are defined in some unrelated C++ header file, and I had to find and build debugbreak.c just to be able to Ctrl+C my process and get back to the gdb prompt. And stdout isn't working for me either. So I'm really not sure how to debug. Nevertheless, I do see that pe_add_runtime() is being called, which in turn tries and fails to load libtcc1.a using tcc_add_dll(). I wish I could inspect the arguments being passed to tcc_add_file_internal(), but gdb is not cooperating, despite me compiling everything with -ggdb3 and forgoing the strip stage of the Tcl build process.

This is 32-bit Windows MXE GCC. I haven't > tried 64-bit Windows yet, but it works fine in both 32- and 64-bit Linux. Yes, only 32bit code emits calls to this function, on both Windows and Linux. The function is defined in either libgcc.a or libtcc1.a which TCC automatically should link against (either of them). Somehow this is not happening, I can't say why, you'll have to figure it out. Alternatively, if there are reasons why you don't link against libtcc1.a or libgcc.a you will have to provide an implementation of this function yourself, you could look into lib/libtcc1.c source for that. There are other helper functions that TCC might also generate calls for in the i386 backend: __divdi3 long ret,x,y; ret = x / y; __udivdi3 ulong ret,x,y; ret = x / y; __moddi3 long ret,x,y; ret = x % y; __umoddi3 ulong ret,x,y; ret = x % y; __ashrdi3 long ret,x,y; ret = x >> y; __lshrdi3 ulong ret,x,y; ret = x >> y; __floatundisf ulong -> float __floatundidf ulong -> double __floatundixf ulong -> long double __fixunssfdi float -> ulong __fixunsdfdi double -> ulong __fixunsxfdi long double -> ulong __fixsfdi float -> long __fixdfdi double -> long __fixxfdi long double -> long So it's probably easier to just figure out why libtcc1.a isn't linked automatically with your program.
