Your statement about the quality of the standard development is not connected to any apparent reason to pursue an exact implementation of a certain version (of a "badly developed standard"). > Come on guys, make TCC great again "make <something> great again" has nowadays for many people unfortunately quite negative connotations.

The most useful things are few and and tinycc already has an impressive collection of them.

Tinycc has a very different purpose than those and at most it would be to a certain degree compatible, which it already is. > "many other gigantic heavy-weight toolchains" when it surely doesn't > need "millions of lines of code which do implement it" ? I really doubt that someone knows how to implement the _exact_ behavior of those toolchains without millions of lines of code. So you must have meant some _different_ behavior, which is unknown without reading your thoughts. My point is not to try to find out the exact meaning of your text but merely to suggest using concrete, technical arguments instead of inexact emotional ones.
