Re: [Tinycc-devel] TCC and "smart" linking

[Oleg N. Cher]

I would mentioned that Turbo Pascal (7.1) has very fast compilation too, 
and was very compact - command-line compiler tpc.exe is 75 Kb. Then I do 
not agree with the fact that "smart" linking feature is a redundant in 
TCC. It's the absolutely necessary feature, especially if you actively 
work with large libraries and do not want to include all code from the 
libraries into your software.
