I'm actively using tcc as my main compiler, only switching back to GCC on demand for eg. running tests with valgrind (as tcc's debug symbols currently do not work with valgrind). So far, it works perfectly for my C projects, producing reasonably small output binaries very fast. You should of course be aware that tcc does almost no optimizations, instead translating the code almost literally - which I perceive as an advantage (The reasoning being that when my code is performing well when compiled without lots of optimization, it will most likely run even better with an optimizing compiler). > Does it use makefiles? If you want to use them. Makefiles are processed by make, not by tcc, so that's completely independent. In most shells, you can try to run make with tcc instead of whatever your default C Compiler is by running user@box:/path/to/project$ CC=tcc make This might not work if the project you're trying to compile is using functionality that tcc does not support. Hope that helps! Regards, cbdev _______________________________________________ Tinycc-devel mailing list Tinycc-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tinycc-devel
