Re: [Tinycc-devel] Simple failed test on MacOS

[Milutin Jovanović]

I was thinking about the same thing. However I don't think this is appropriate. _ANSI_SOURCE means that the compiler is in ANSI mode. TCC does not have this mode. It aims to be ANSI, but it is not (yet). So to me it seems that defining this is premature. 

In addition, the workaround is really around a deficiency in the header files. They do not know how to handle tcc, so we have to fake it with defines like this.

Now, I simply stated the 'facts' as I see them. I would very much like to hear from the others their opinion on predefining _ANSI_SOURCE, and is it acceptable if the compiler is only partially ANSI compliant. Having this would surely make life for OSX user easier.

Hi Miki, thanks a lot for the workaround. :-) My question to the list would be if we shouldn't define this symbol in the tcc binary for MACOSX in order to make code more portable.
