>From what I remember of previous discussions, the main thing preventing a
new release has been no clear criteria for when the release should be cut.
Some want full C99 or C11 compliance, others just want *any* release; so
the difference was split to the status quo of nothing happening.

Aside on C99 compliance. What important C99 features is tcc missing? Some
of the C99 features *cough* VLAs, _Complex *cough* were made optional in
C11 and somewhat considered a mistake by the wider community, I don't think
they should be added to tcc.

This might not be the thread for it, but I would like to put forward
Michael Ackermann's work on tinyfront (http://tinyfront.mooo.com/index.html)
as a good test case for when we are ready for a full 0.9.28 release.
My proposal is that if we can build a tinyfront system without any patches
to the mob branch of tcc, that's when we should cut the release.
Thoughts?
