TinyCC sometimes has problems to evaluate constant expressions at compile time. This leads to code being generated outside of functions. Without this patch some of these bugs are not caught, because cur_text_section still points to the section of the last function. Before the first function cur_text_section is uninitialized. Setting cur_text_section to a null pointer should make TinyCC die in all cases.
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 win32/readme.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 win32/readme.txt.
