Hi, I was checking if tcc conforms to the POSIX standard for a C99 compiler [1], particularly to make the case for implementing a generic POSIX C compiler backend in Meson [2]. In the meantime, tcc can't be used for building. There is concern that small compilers all have their own caveats, and tinycc's seem minor.
POSIX says a space after -l—and all flags for that matter—is okay, but tcc doesn't accept this: $ tcc hello.c -l c tcc: error: library '' not found It also doesn't handle a space after -O. Fortunately -D, -I, -L, and -U all tolerate this. For completeness here's another discrepancy: * tcc errors with -lxnet or -ltrace, but so do gcc and Clang. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help, and thanks for working on tinycc!
