Re: [Tinycc-devel] Extension to C language: sorry ignore prev "#TCC part2#2"

[Stefano Zaglio]

Hi,
I was a programmer asm/c/c++. Then I was Microsoftnized.

From a long time I have an idea that I'm developing too slowly.

I'm drawing a comparison between C and C++ that would not consider C++ 
an evolution of C.

Anyway, my proposalmeets the following fees:

1. compatible with TCC "all in one" phylosophy
2. compatible with other C
3. compatible with nature of TCC project:"implements once and forget it"
4. uses TCC as plugin of itself

What follows is part of a longer processing which includes different 
points of view including genetic, physical, metaphysical and 
psychological. But I do not want to bore.

and I'm asking to who well know TCC code, if this could be possible:


*int* fact(*int* n) { *return *( n==0 ? 1 : fact(n-1) ); }

        printf( "factorial of 3 is " #fact(3) );

that will become perfectly:

        printf( "factorial of 3 is " "6" );


while the C++ version ... :

        *template*  <int N>
        *struct*  Factorial
        {
        *enum*  { value = N * Factorial<N-1>::value };
        };

        *template*  <>
        *struct*  Factorial<1>
        {
        *enum*  { value = 1 };
        };

        // example use
        *int*  main()
        {
        *const*  *int*  fact3 = Factorial<3>::value;
            std::cout<<  fact3<<  endl;
        *return*  0;
        }

is more elegant, not dangerous, unbreakable, yes, I know.

I mean, use the ability of TCC to generate code from
    in-code:


*void* config_from_outsource(*char* *param) {
        // ...
        printf("red,green,blue");
        }

    ...
*enum* colors {
        #config_from_outsource("base_colors")
        }

    ...
*void* gen_config() {FILE f;...fopen("config.h","w+");...}
    ...
    #gen_config()
    #include "config.h"
    ...
    #import("http://...";);
    ...
    #import("compressed_header.gz");
    ...
    #sql_parser(
        "select * from tbl where tid=#tid and address@hidden",
        "@tid tinyint, @id int",
        tid, id
        )
    ...
    #expand_your_imagination()

project, make, automake, ml, cmake, deploy can be made all with tcc.

For example, consider the use of #TCC in place of external lemon parser 
in sqlite and the integration of tcc in sqlite to add SQL functions.

And I like that Google was financing all of this instead of spending 
money trying toreplace JavaScript with Dart, Go & C., because #TCC just 
needs a good editor for children, chicken and monkeys like me, with 
libtcc, of course, to get or create plugins.

article, I will post soon on my web site.
