[Tinycc-devel] sizeof("string literal") is very wrong

[Karl Yerkes]

I am using...

tcc version 0.9.27 HEAD:d3e940c (AArch64 Darwin)

I want to know the size of a string literal:

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
  printf("%d\n", sizeof("this is a string"));
}

With clang, I see 17.

With tcc, I see 1828565760 (a different large, wrong number each time I execute).

Is this expected behavior or a known issue? Should I use an older or newer version of TCC?

And just out of curiosity, does anyone have a tool that does a binary search of TCC versions to find which version introduced a regression?
