I'd generalize from that. Some of the many use cases for tcc are in the bootstrapping category: start from an old/substandard C compiler (e.g., old msvc, or mescc) to get a more modern/standard C compiler. The next step is sometimes using tcc to compile gcc-2.95.0 or gcc-4.7.4, which gets you a usable C++ compiler. Lots gets written on this topic. Here's one link, that prominently mentions TinyCC: https://bootstrappable.org/projects/mes.html - Larry _______________________________________________ Tinycc-devel mailing list Tinycc-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tinycc-devel
