Re: [Tinycc-devel] Extension to C language

[Paulo Henrique Torrens]

As some people have messaged me wanting details, I just want to state that the next two weeks I'll take to study for my finals (well, I *really* need to study this time), and then I'll finish what I have and post it all here by the start of July. I'm currently also working to make it compile on OpenSolaris/Nexenta/OpenIndiana, in the case anyone else would need it.

Live long and prosper.

Hi Paulo,

This conversation did take a few detours... I am very interested in your work on the ports to OSX and BSD. Any chance of getting those? Since your code is LGPL, any chance of getting a look at those changes?

Hi,

I'm working on a compiler suite project (black.nongnu.org), and made several updates to TCC in order to incentive it's use as bootstrapper compiler and for "publicity", including port to Mac OS X and the Open/Free/Net BSDs (and planning on fixing for Android), the C11 _Atomic, _Alignas and _Generic keywords, and some other stuff. I plan to send a patch soon.

I've made a small extension to my compiler, making "tracked variables" in C. They are just reference counted structs which can call free() automatically.

void test() {

  int ^strong = malloc(sizeof(int));

  printf("strong has %d references", countof(strong));

  int *weak_reference = strong;

  // countage for strong becomes 0 and free(strong) is called automatically

};

Should I update this patch too? I mean, would this extension (enabled with -ftracked-variables) be used into the main branch?

Anyway, I will update all the other patches soon. :)

Greetings.
