Basile,

thank you for your advice, even if it does not answer my question. My 
application is coded in C++ so I gues I can try/catch before calling the 
C script, right ? However, maybe I made a mistake calling this script. 
My use would better be very fast prototyping or light plugins. It has to 
run as fast as possible, this is why I consider using tinycc better than 
any interpreted bytecode.

Best,
Yann Renard
