The so-called "mob branch" (which fixes those problems) has been the "unofficial trunk" of tcc for at least a year or so, but no distro i'm aware of ships a version based on that branch. I like to see how `tcc' compile sqlite3.c in a second :-) > On my old 32-bit/1.2GHz netbook tcc 0.9.25 compiles sqlite3 in 0.4 seconds :-D. gcc takes well over a minute. i've written the tcc team expressing my amazement at this type of result, but they respond to my excitement with a sober, "but the runtime code is not as fast as gcc's." (Also, tcc's warning/error messages are, in general, not nearly as detailed.) Nonetheless, tcc's compile times are absolutely amazing - i regularly see 10x+ increases in compile speed with tcc. -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal
