From experience, when a program invoked by a shell sees the '--' flag, it stops looking for options.
$ grep -V // print grep version grep (GNU grep) 3.8 ... $ grep -- -V // match for '-V' [waiting for stdin where matching for '-V' will occur] If I'm not mistaken, tcc expects only file-names and options as arguments (if no file-names are provided, it reads code from stdin). Hence after '--' it would treat all arguments as file-names or resort to reading code from stdin if none are provided. - certanan ------- Original Message ------- On Sunday, April 16th, 2023 at 5:46 PM, grischka <gris...@gmx.de> wrote: > On 15.04.2023 22:38, certanan via Tinycc-devel wrote: > > > From what it seems to me, even Bellard's QEmacs seems to be relying on > > this, rather, standard feature since at least 19 years ago, as referenced > > in its official GitHub repository. > > Am I missing something cardinal, or is there, indeed, no valid reason for > > this seemingly not being implemented in tcc?
