# Tinycc

Single header C99 compiler (TCC)

Entire core of TCC compiler in one file. Including all architectures. 52000 LOC

Including my modifications and improvements. 

# Why?

It may be painful to deal with complex build systems and files may harm code navigation and/or understanding. 

Many people prefer single header libraries, and this is just that, entire compiler is here. 

# Compiling Tcc 

The most simple command will be

For Unix

```

gcc tinycc.c -ldl -lpthread

or bootstrap:

tcc tinycc.c -ldl -lpthread

```

For win32

```

gcc tinycc.c 

or more explicit, both commands equalent, x86 is default.

gcc tinycc.c -DTCC_TARGET_PE -DTCC_TARGET_I386

```

For win64

```

gcc tinycc.c -DTCC_TARGET_PE -DTCC_TARGET_X86_64

```

You can add compile defines options youself, look into the file and see what is available or what you need.

# Using Tcc

```cpp

#include  /*or on unix*/ #include 

//This declaration is required to make printf external.

int printf(char *format, ...);

//See tinycc.c on how to do argc and argv

int _start()

{

	MessageBox(NULL, NULL, "Hello World", 0); //windows only

	printf("Hello World\n"); //crt is usable

	return 1;

}

```

To include CRT on windows link library using -luser32 for example. This will link to a dll using user32.def file in ./lib

For reference refer to tinycc.c file. 

```

tcc test.c -luser32

```

# Notes & TODO

Have not tested on Arm, riscv64 but it should work unless i screwed up.

- Add intel assembly support (initial parser done)

- Add vector instructions support.
