Kirill Smelkov 43a11a7ed1 Make tcc work after self-compiling with bounds-check enabled
For vstack Fabrice used the trick to initialize vtop to &vstack[-1], so
that on first push, vtop becomes &vstack[0] and a value is also stored
there - everything works.

Except that when tcc is compiled with bounds-checking enabled, vstack - 1
returns INVALID_POINTER and oops...

Let's workaround it with artificial 1 vstack slot which will not be
used, but only serve as an indicator that pointing to &vstack[-1] is ok.

Now, tcc, after being self-compiled with -b works:

    $ ./tcc -B. -o tccb  -DONE_SOURCE -DCONFIG_MULTIARCHDIR=\"i386-linux-gnu\" tcc.c  -ldl
    $ cd tests
    $ ../tcc -B.. -run tcctest.c >1
    $ ../tccb -B.. -run tcctest.c >2
    $ diff -u 1 2

and note, tcc's compilation speed is not affected:

    $ ./tcc -B. -bench -DONE_SOURCE -DCONFIG_MULTIARCHDIR=\"i386-linux-gnu\" -c tcc.c

    before: 8270 idents, 47221 lines, 1527730 bytes, 0.152 s, 309800 lines/s, 10.0 MB/s
    after:  8271 idents, 47221 lines, 1527733 bytes, 0.152 s, 310107 lines/s, 10.0 MB/s

But note, that `tcc -b -run tcc` is still broken - for example it crashes
on
    $ cat x.c
    double get100 () { return 100.0; }

    $ ./tcc -B. -b -DTCC_TARGET_I386 -DCONFIG_MULTIARCHDIR=\"i386-linux-gnu\"  -run   \
        -DONE_SOURCE ./tcc.c -B. -c x.c
    Runtime error: dereferencing invalid pointer

that's because lib/bcheck.c runtime needs more fixes -- see next
patches.

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 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 ! 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.
