Introduction </h1> + +<p>TinyCC (aka TCC) is a small but hyper fast C compiler. Unlike other C +compilers, it is meant to be self-relying: you do not need an +external assembler or linker because TCC does that for you. +</p> +<p>TCC compiles so <em>fast</em> that even for big projects <code>Makefile</code>s may +not be necessary. +</p> +<p>TCC not only supports ANSI C, but also most of the new ISO C99 +standard and many GNUC extensions including inline assembly. +</p> +<p>TCC can also be used to make <em>C scripts</em>, i.e. pieces of C source +that you run as a Perl or Python script. Compilation is so fast that +your script will be as fast as if it was an executable. +</p> +<p>TCC can also automatically generate memory and bound checks +(see section <a href="#SEC21">TinyCC Memory and Bound checks</a>) while allowing all C pointers operations. TCC can do +these checks even if non patched libraries are used. +</p> +<p>With <code>libtcc</code>, you can use TCC as a backend for dynamic code +generation (see section <a href="#SEC22">The <code>libtcc</code> library</a>). +</p> +<p>TCC mainly supports the i386 target on Linux and Windows. There are alpha +ports for the ARM (<code>arm-tcc</code>) and the TMS320C67xx targets +(<code>c67-tcc</code>). More information about the ARM port is available at +<a href="http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/tinycc-devel/2003-10/msg00044.html">http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/tinycc-devel/2003-10/msg00044.html</a>. +</p> +<p>For usage on Windows, see also tcc-win32.txt. +</p> +<hr size="6"> +<a name="Invoke"></a> +<a name="SEC2"></a> +<table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" border="0"> +<tr><td valign="middle" align="left">[<a href="#SEC1" title="Previous section in reading order"> < </a>]</td> +<td valign="middle" align="left">[<a href="#SEC3" title="Next section in reading order"> > </a>]</td> +<td valign="middle" align="left"> </td> +<td valign="middle" align="left">[<a href="#SEC1" title="Beginning of this chapter or previous chapter"> << </a>]</td> +<td valign="middle" align="left">[<a href="#SEC_Top" title="Up section"> Up </a>]</td> +<td valign="middle" align="left">[<a href="#SEC5" title="Next chapter"> >> </a>]</td> +<td valign="middle" align="left"> </td> +<td valign="middle" align="left"> </td> +<td valign="middle" align="left"> </td> +<td valign="middle" align="left"> </td> +<td valign="middle" align="left">[<a href="#SEC_Top" title="Cover (top) of document">Top</a>]</td> +<td valign="middle" align="left">[<a href="#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents">Contents</a>]</td> +<td valign="middle" align="left">[<a href="#SEC36" title="Index">Index</a>]</td> +<td valign="middle" align="left">[<a href="#SEC_About" title="About (help)"> ? </a>]</td> +</tr></table> +<h1 class="chapter"> 2.
