+Tiny C Compiler - C Scripting Everywhere - The Smallest ANSI C compiler
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Features:
+--------
+
+- SMALL! You can compile and execute C code everywhere, for example on
+ rescue disks.
+
+- FAST! tcc generates optimized x86 code. No byte code
+ overhead. Compile, assemble and link about 7 times faster than 'gcc
+ -O0'.
+
+- UNLIMITED! Any C dynamic library can be used directly. TCC is
+ heading torward full ISOC99 compliance. TCC can of course compile
+ itself.
+
+- SAFE! tcc includes an optional memory and bound checker. Bound
+ checked code can be mixed freely with standard code.
+
+- Compile and execute C source directly. No linking or assembly
+ necessary. Full C preprocessor included.
+
+- C script supported : just add '#!/usr/local/bin/tcc -run' at the first
+ line of your C source, and execute it directly from the command
+ line.
+
+Documentation:
+-------------
+
+1) Installation on a i386/x86_64/arm Linux/OSX/FreeBSD host
+
+ ./configure
+ make
+ make test
+ make install
+
+ Notes: For OSX and FreeBSD, gmake should be used instead of make.
+ For Windows read tcc-win32.txt.
+
+makeinfo must be installed to compile the doc. By default, tcc is
+installed in /usr/local/bin. ./configure --help shows configuration
+options.
+
+
+2) Introduction
+
+We assume here that you know ANSI C. Look at the example ex1.c to know
+what the programs look like.
+
+The include file <tcclib.h> can be used if you want a small basic libc
+include support (especially useful for floppy disks). Of course, you
+can also use standard headers, although they are slower to compile.
+
+You can begin your C script with '#!/usr/local/bin/tcc -run' on the first
+line and set its execute bits (chmod a+x your_script). Then, you can
+launch the C code as a shell or perl script :-) The command line
+arguments are put in 'argc' and 'argv' of the main functions, as in
+ANSI C.
+
+3) Examples
+
+ex1.c: simplest example (hello world). Can also be launched directly
+as a script: './ex1.c'.
+
+ex2.c: more complicated example: find a number with the four
+operations given a list of numbers (benchmark).
+
+ex3.c: compute fibonacci numbers (benchmark).
+
+ex4.c: more complicated: X11 program. Very complicated test in fact
+because standard headers are being used ! As for ex1.c, can also be launched
+directly as a script: './ex4.c'.
+
+ex5.c: 'hello world' with standard glibc headers.
+
+tcc.c: TCC can of course compile itself. Used to check the code
+generator.
+
+tcctest.c: auto test for TCC which tests many subtle possible bugs. Used
+when doing 'make test'.
+
+4) Full Documentation
+
+Please read tcc-doc.html to have all the features of TCC.
+
+Additional information is available for the Windows port in tcc-win32.txt.
