Re: [Tinycc-devel] Problem with libtcc DLL + MEMORY output

[Amaury Bouchard]

Indeed, I missed this information. Thank you for your help.

Well, I found some documentation where the tcc_set_output_type() function was called after compilation, and it work fine like that, so I didn't wonder that TCC was not able to do both outputs with a single compilation. The question about why I would want to do that is not relevant; in some situation, it could be useful to not compile again and again the same piece of code, but it was more of an experiment in my case.

Thanks again.

Why would anyone want to do that?

Just in case, there is a comment for tcc_set_output_type()" in both
libtcc.h and the libtcc_test example:

     /* set output type. MUST BE CALLED before any compilation */
                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I suppose you have seen it but wanted to see what happens if you ignore
it, and the answer is the one that you already have:  does not work.

As with all software there are things within its scope and things beyond
its scope and decisions were made depending on usefulness and required
effort.
