With no file specified it should show version and usage. Maybe like
other programs use a single dash to mean stdin, for example:

compile to a.out:
   cat foo.c | tcc -

compile to exe:
   cat foo.c | tcc - -o foo.exe

compile and run:
   cat foo.c | tcc -run - arguments ...

Can you make a patch?

Yes.

I found it's already have a command line option "-pipe" but not implemented in the code. Shall we remove it? Is it for such function?
