Re: [Tinycc-devel] make tcc reentrant

[Ulrich Schmidt]

Thank you, Sean. I'l take a look.

Your Idea of making tcc_relocate_ex() global is probably worth thinking
about.

I wrote my own binding and ran into trouble like you did and i
understood not enouth about tcc internals. (TCC doc is not the best
source of information.) Hence i looked into the sources and figured out:

If more than one app uses libtcc, the compilation processes interfere
with each other causing compilation faults. If you use libtcc only once
at a time, all is fine.

From my point of view a lua module needs to usable multiple times parallel.

Ulrich.
