Hi,
I am just beginning to play with tinycc. I want to modify the compiler
and add some new language features (for leaning purposes).
I have a few questions:
1. What is the status of tinycc being re-entrant? Has that
been merged?
No, it isn't. It should be thread-safe but not re-entrant.
On unix you could probably use 'fork' to run a second instance
of the compiler while parsing.
2. I want to do some compiler time evaluation. For example
(@comptime is just my simple parsing extension)
..... regular C code ....
@comptime {
.... some code ....
}
..... continue C code
I want to evaluate code inside @comptime{ } while parsing. The code inside
can generate some more C code and inject it back (and it needs to be compiled).
Question: What's the best way to do this with tinycc?
The answer might depend very much on the real code.
... some/more/regular/... can be anything.
Parse and compile the entire file first, then execute the code and create a
source new file?
(so, there would be two passes)
Or is there a way to inject new source while tinycc is parsing?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
I would suggest first to write a fully 'working' example of what
you have in mind. As if the compiler that has all the experimental
features that it needs to run it, already would exist.

Thanks.
