I'm messing around with tcc. I don't need this to be fixed, I just thought someone may want the report. I'm trying to figure out how fast the tcc backend is for my compiler. I seem to hit an infinite loop on mac osx venture. I built tcc earlier this month (Dec 2022). I suspect it's an overflow bug. Here's how to reproduce, on linux x86-64 it errors out at a smaller number.

Run the following python script (I copied it below) https://bolinlang.com/genc.py

python3 ./genc.py 2200000 4

Create object files then try to link. It'll loop forever

tcc -c *.c
tcc *.o

You can try building it straight which will build but won't execute

$ tcc *.c
$ ./a.out
dyld[4330]: dyld cache '(null)' not loaded: syscall to map cache into shared region failed

Using a smaller number everything works fine. I'll repeat that I'm just playing around and don't need this to work. Here's a copy paste of the python script
I fixed the forever loop.
The code now compiles but does not run. I get:

dyld[74088]: dyld cache '/System/Library/dyld/dyld_shared_cache_arm64e' not loaded: syscall to map cache into shared region failed
dyld[74088]: Library not loaded: '/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib'

Probably because the bss section is larger then 4G.

I also tried to compile you code with gcc/clang on fedora(x86_64) and also get overflow reports when compiling.
So probably there is a limit some where. I did not check.

So if gcc/clang cannot compile the code tcc can fail as well.


I updated the python script. I can now run:

$ python3 ./genc.py 100000000 100
$ tcc -bench -c *.c

updated lines in script:
