Hi,
I'm currently developping a Lua binding for libtcc, and I came into
two problems when building TCC.
The first is a symbol collision for the function error with my glibc.
I use glibc-2.3.5 with gcc-3.3.6 on a Slackware Linux. The symbol
error is defined in glibc, and tcc source code contain a function with
the same name. GCC's linker can't figure which to use and messes up
the final executable, with weird behaviour. It took me some time to
figure it out, so I patched TCC makefile so that the symbol collision
don't happen. Here is the patch, it would be nice to include it in
next release :

The second problem I ran into is related to tcc_compile_string. I use
it to compile files which I preprocess. But tcc_compile_string errors
messages don't specify the original source file of the string it
compiles, and uses "<string>" as the source name. So I added a
function called tcc_compile_named_string which takes as an additionnal
parameter a name for the source string to be shown in error messages.
If NULL is passed it falls back to "<string>". Here is the patch :

It would be nice to see the second patch in a future release of TCC,
if any is planned, so that I don't have to distribute it with my Lua
binding. If necessary I can resend the patch to another address in
another format, just tell me :-)
Jérôme.
