Re: [Tinycc-devel] TCC as default compiler

[stephen Turner]

I compiled musl-libc with gcc as well as tcc. Tcc appears to be in good working order but when i use tcc to compile musl-libc it errors out.

The command im using is CC=/path/to/tcc ./configure --prefix=/dest/folder --target=i386-linux-musl

the error i receive is crt/i386/Scrt1.s:17: error: bad _expression_ syntax [[]

Is there any log files generated i can provide? i did not see the usual config.log that gcc would output.

thanks,

stephen

Thanks, that is helpful.

I read mention of TCC including the linker, does this mean binutils is not necessary?

I would be very interested to see C++ be included.

I'm actively using tcc as my main compiler, only switching back to GCC
on demand for eg. running tests with valgrind (as tcc's debug symbols
currently do not work with valgrind).
So far, it works perfectly for my C projects, producing reasonably
small output binaries very fast.
You should of course be aware that tcc does almost no optimizations,
instead translating the code almost literally - which I perceive as an
advantage (The reasoning being that when my code is performing well
when compiled without lots of optimization, it will most likely run
even better with an optimizing compiler).

> Does it use makefiles?
If you want to use them. Makefiles are processed by make, not by tcc,
so that's completely independent. In most shells, you can try to run
make with tcc instead of whatever your default C Compiler is by
running
address@hidden:/path/to/project$ CC=tcc make
This might not work if the project you're trying to compile is using
functionality that tcc does not support.

Hope that helps!

cbdev
