Re: [Tinycc-devel] support for OOP in C

I'm new to the tcc-devel list but the thread last month at

  http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/tinycc-devel/2015-06/msg00002.html

is directly relevant to my interest in tcc which is to enable
JIT computing to the Perl Data Language along with a new,
symmetric framework for computation so that routines can
be defined either at the "C" level or at the Perl level and
called from either.

The basis for this capability would bea C level OOP such as
the one discussed in the abovethread.  The good news is
that the author of the OOP in C book has implemented a
couple of iterations in his studies.  The latest is COS (the
C Object System) which is documented as the replacement
for all the previous implementations.
The features and capability look very good and I believe
will be sufficient for PDL development save the fact that
it apparently doesn't work on windows without some
sort of POSIX layer (cygwin or such).  From studying
the code, it appears that restriction is actually the build
and not the library which only needs C99 preprocessor
and C89 or greater compiler.

The license is Apache.

Regards,
Chris
