Hello Thomas !

What do you mean by "old version of tcc" there is other newer versions elsewhere ?

Cheers !

That would be nice !

I would like to see the implementation of

qcc http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/tinycc-devel/2011-09/txtYogaFhDvlT.txt

[3] and any documentation will help on it, someone asked before about

tinycc generate an intermediate pcode that would make things easier
for qcc.

When I started tinycc-noglobals it was because I was looking at a jit

library and found libjit very nice but its not maintained and only the

x86 and x86_64 backends are implemented (arm is only a draft that

doesnt work), then I started playing with it and found the

instructions to construct jitted code a bit complicated, knowing
tinycc I thought why complicate my life when I already know C and
tinycc generates executable code onthefly/jit ? Then I actualized my
virtual io on top of tinycc:mob and then started looking at the tinycc
code in more detail, when I found global variables like "ch, file,
tok" it was clear that the potential for name clashing/bugs using it
as is would be huge.

Thats why tinycc-noglobals came to existence, then I found that the

backends of tinycc was not in good shape, it can compile some simple
programs in general but when we try to compile something a bit more
complex like fossil-scm it failed.

Then searchin the net I found the http://landley.net/qcc/ [4] ,
http://elinux.org/CELF_Project_Proposal/Combine_tcg_with_tcc [5] and

looked at qemu tcg "Tiny Code Generator" and thought what a great
idea !!

I propose to try make it a reality, any volunteers ???

Sorry I don't have much free time and I cannot work on qemu due to IP issues related to my work. But the idea sounds interesting. It's just a bit sad to use an old version of tcc as the frontend though.

Thomas
