Re: [Tinycc-devel] Using TCC as a backbone for our compiler

[Jerome St-Louis]

Redj,

There's still this thing here that when passing '-cc' to ecc, this
merely tells it what to use as a "preprocessor". We could actually
invoke 'cpp' (c preprocessor) instead as a default, and having a -cpp
rather than -cc would probably be smarter. Also, having separate
settings for the C preprocessor and the C compiler to actually compile
the intermediate C files would be smart, which would likely solve this
particular problem.

I'm not sure if tcc supports that like gcc? It invokes it with '-x c
-E' to tell it to preprocess it as a C preprocessor.
Now those include files are the same ones from mingw, are they? I'm
not sure if it's tcc that's preprocessing the header file in a
different manner, but you could see the output of both "gcc -x -c -E"
and "tcc -x -c -E", and see where they differ and where the ecc
compiler is detecting a syntax error...

Now since we'll be using tcc for scripting stuff mostly, as a
standalone thing, it's very unlikely that it's going to be using any
include files at all.

Sorry if this is getting off-topic on the mailing list, but I hope it
serves to clarify redj's question if it doesn't answer it. Thanks
guys.

Cheers,

Jerome
