.SH DESCRIPTION

\fItcc\fP (tiny C compiler) is small, fast, unlimited, and safe.  You
can compile and execute C code everywhere (e.g., on rescue disks).  It
generates optimized x86 code, and can compile, assemble, and link
several times faster than 'gcc -O0'.  Any C dynamic library can be
used directly.  It includes an optional memory and bounds checker, and
bounds-checked code can be mixed freely with standard code.  C script
is also supported--just add '#!/usr/bin/tcc' at the first line of your
C source, and execute it directly from the command line.

.TP
.BI "\-I" "dir"
Append directory \c
.I dir\c
\& to the list of directories searched for include files.
.TP
.BI \-D macro
Define macro \c
.I macro\c
\& with the string `\|\c
.B 1\c
\&\|' as its definition.
.TP
.BI \-D macro = defn
Define macro \c
.I macro\c
\& as \c
.I defn\c
\&.    All instances of `\|\c
.B \-D\c
\&\|' on
the command line are processed before any `\|\c
.B \-U\c
\&\|' options.
.TP
.BI \-U macro
Undefine macro \c
.I macro\c
\&.  `\|\c
.B \-U\c
\&\|' options are evaluated after all `\|\c
.B \-D\c
\&\|' options, but before any `\|\c
.B \-include\c
\&\|' and `\|\c
.B \-imacros\c
\&\|' options.
.TP
.BI \-l library
Use the library named \c
.I library\c
\& when linking.


.TP
\fB\-l\fRlib
link with dynamic library 'lib'
.TP
\fB\-g\f
generate runtime debug info
.TP
\fB\-b\f
compile with built-in memory and bounds checker (implies -g)
.TP
\fB\-i\fR <file>
compile <file>

.SH PROBLEMS AND BUGS
We haven't found any bugs yet. Perhaps there are bugs but it's
unlikely.

If you have problems with `tcc' or think you've found a
bug, please report it to the developers; we cannot promise to do
anything but we might well want to fix it.

Before reporting a bug, make sure you've actually found a real bug.
Carefully reread the documentation and see if it really says you can
do what you're trying to do.  If it's not clear whether you should be
able to do something or not, report that too; it's a bug in the
documentation!

Before reporting a bug or trying to fix it yourself, try to isolate it
to the smallest possible conditions that reproduces the problem.  Then
send us the description and the exact results `tcc' gave
you.  Also say what you expected to occur; this will help us decide
whether the problem was really in the documentation.

Once you've got a precise problem, please send electronic mail to:

         Fabrice Bellard <fabrice.bellard@free.fr>

Please include the version number of `tcc' you are using.
Be sure also to include the type of machine and operating system you
are using.
