[not a tinycc developer but using / depending on compiler bootstrapping] I would find it awesome if tinycc would restrict its source to C89. Compilers written in C89 and understanding C99 hardly exist. This makes it hard to do a proper bootstrap from the ground with minimal dependency on existing binaries. (Offtopic, but tightly related to the full bootstrapping: if tcc would also become relicensed to BSD-alike, this would not only make such deep bootstrapping easier but also allow getting to C99 without relying on GPL, which matters to some people and scenarios) Thanks for your work on tcc, Rune _______________________________________________ Tinycc-devel mailing list Tinycc-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tinycc-devel
