I haven't downloaded it, but my impression is that it's simply a
library. If you're wanting TCC to have OOP language extensions, then
I'd really suggest putting almost (or maybe literally) everything into
a "compile to C" branch, instead of embedding it directly into the TCC
C compiler.

My use case is for a small, portable OO system based

on C for portability.  After reading the list archives, I apologize

for the OT OT post and confusion.
 

There are few enough developers that directly enlarging the C codebase
is probably not a good idea, making something like Vala a better idea.

Vala is interesting but too heavyweight for this application.

Thanks for the thoughts.
