I have found 9.26 (current stable) to be riddled with bugs, and the latest git to be much more stable. I would like to see a new release just because of that.

When I tried TCC 9.26 a couple of months back I was stuck in a hole of misleading compiler messages, strange crashes and executables with multiple personalities. Basically nothing other than the bundled example .c files worked.

I decided to join the mailing list on a whim, which showed me that the project was not dead at all (against first impressions). Since then I've:

 * Installed a mingw toolchain
 * Downloaded snapshots from GIT
 * Worked out how to compile them with mingw GCC's shared libs
   statically included.


Now I have a version of TCC that works amazingly well, but I don't expect many people to make it this far or even see how useful this project is. I suspect most will give up after trying 9.26.

Release early, release often!

Regards, Hales

(Also: a big thankyou for the new warning regarding __declspec(dllimport/export)! Very much appreciated. Do any of you live in Australia? I'll send you some PREFERRED_DELICACY. )

I've been lurking here and there, but haven't seen any rabbling about a new release? It's been several years and I really like the current mainline for my projects. I'm hoping to use TCC in a rash of upcoming projects. Any word if I might be able to direct people to 0.9.27?

The latest I can see discussion on this is back from 2014!
