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 Linux host (for Windows read tcc-win32.txt) + + ./configure + make + make test + make install + +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 ! + +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. + +License: +------- + +TCC is distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (see +COPYING file). + +Fabrice Bellard. |
