Re: [Tinycc-devel] Implementation of '--' argument

$ grep -V            // print grep version

$ grep -- -V         // match for '-V'

If I'm not mistaken, tcc expects only file-names and options as arguments (if 
no file-names are provided, it reads code from stdin). Hence after '--' it 
would treat all arguments as file-names or resort to reading code from stdin if 
none are provided.
