Maybe it can be useful for some macros too, I mean C99 for, are use for FOREACH(obj, elem), // elem is declared in the for I could see the same kind of code with c2y if: TRY_GET(obj, "key", elem) {}. Though as the feature is new, I didn't see a lot of experiment with this. I don't think this feature is a must-have, but It can make some condition cleaner, and I'd love to use it in my projects that use tinycc. Then if you say that you prefer to keep tcc small, or that you want the standard to be release before including this kind of feature to tcc, I understand. Thanks for answering.
