Thanks for the idea, had never heard of amalgamation... just reading about, seems like this could be very useful :D

Why don’t you use mod surrounded by amalgamation technic?

I doubt someone protest if you ad few TCC_AMALGATION feature test to not include files you’re already manually include.

 

#if !defined(TCC_AMALGATION)

#include “…”

#endif

 

My OpenLisp has such target which looks like:

 

AMALGAMATION=amalgamation

AMALTERM=term.$(O)

 

$(AMALGAMATION).c:

        @echo Making temporary $(AMALGAMATION).c

        @rm -f $(AMALGAMATION).c

        @cat $(SOURCES) main.c > $(AMALGAMATION).c

 

$(AMALGAMATION)$(EXE): $(AMALGAMATION).c

        @echo Making $(AMALGAMATION)$(EXE) from temporary $(AMALGAMATION).c

        @cp $(AMALGAMATION).c /tmp

        @(cd /tmp; $(CC) -DOL_AMALGAMATION $(CFLAGS) \

               $(AMALGAMATION).c -o $@ $(LIBS) $(LIBRARIES) $(LDFLAGS))

        @echo Deleting temporary $(AMALGAMATION).c

        @rm $(AMALGAMATION).c

 

As you can see, temporary /tmp/amalgamation.c (2.5 Mbytes) is sufficient to compile OpenLisp and no .h is required.

Hi,

I was very happy to find out that the mob branch of tcc is being updated and seems to be working fine across linux and mac (where I tried so far).

 

I am just passing by to let you know I have forked tcc (mostly for fun), but also to make changes in the direction of my own interest, which is having a all in one include H file with a few additional helper functions to ease out using C as a scripting language mostly to be used together with bash scripts.

 

It's still in an early stage, but I was able to change the behaviour of tinyC to make it run in memory as default behaviour instead of outputting to a file, even without the '-run' directive. And also added a few other cosmetic and usability driven minor improvements mostly on the basic help section and options.

Also did add a script that helps me patch my fork with changes from this repo, (or could be adapted to do it backwards).

 

I am not sure if any of these changes would be of any interest to the general mob team/community. But I can help adding any of those changes to the main project, if it sounds useful.

 

Anyway, if anyone interested in my updates it's on https://github.com/antonioprates/sugar

 

Best regards and great thanks for keeping TinyC alive!

Antonio Prates
