Usage example: tcc -xc ex5.cgi
From a gcc docs:
You can specify the input language explicitly with the -x option:
-x language
Specify explicitly the language for the following input files
(rather than letting the compiler choose a default based on the file
name suffix). This option applies to all following input files until
the next -x option. Possible values for language are:
c c-header c-cpp-output
c++ c++-header c++-cpp-output
objective-c objective-c-header objective-c-cpp-output
objective-c++ objective-c++-header objective-c++-cpp-output
assembler assembler-with-cpp
ada
f77 f77-cpp-input f95 f95-cpp-input
java
-x none
Turn off any specification of a language, so that subsequent files
are handled according to their file name suffixes (as they are if -x
has not been used at all)

This is a patch from Daniel Holden.
* define __bound_init as external_global_sym insteed of the compiling
a tiny program
* remove warning about buf[] when CONFIG_TCC_BCHECK is not defined
This is for a case when no '{' is used in the initialization code.
An option name is -fold-struct-init-code. A linux 2.4.26 can't
find initrd when compiled with a new algorithm.
Lets assume that in *.S files a preprocessor directive
follow '#' char w/o spaces between. Otherwise there is
too many problems with the content of the comments.
* tell a right line number in error message
if a #line directive is wrong
* don't print an error message if we preprocess a .S file
and #line directive is wrong. This is the case of
the
# 4026 bytes
comment in *.S file.
* preprocess_skip: skip a line with
if (parse_flags & PARSE_FLAG_ASM_COMMENTS)
p = parse_line_comment(p);
if line starts with # and a preprocessor command not found.
A test program:
#if defined(CONFIG_EDD) || defined(CONFIG_EDD_MODULE)
# This repeats until either a device doesn't exist, or until
#endif
* remove a second definition of the TOK_FLAG_* and PARSE_FLAG_*
from the tccpp.c
* define targetos=Windows when --enable-tcc32-mingw, --enable-cygwin, ...
* use TARGETOS insteed HOST_OS when selecting PROGS
* use "$(tccdir)" insteed $(tccdir) on install (spaces in path)
* install tcc.exe too
* produce bcheck.o when cross-compiling too (lib/Makefile)
* force bcheck.o linking by compiling inside tcc_set_output_type()
a dummy program with local array. Otherwise bcheck.o may be not linked.
* replace %xz format specifier with %p in bcheck (don't supported on
Windows)
* call a __bound_init when __bound_ptr_add, __bound_ptr_indir,
__bound_new_region, __bound_delete_region called.
This is because a __bound_init inside ".init" section is not called
on Windows for unknown reason.
* print on stderr a message when an illegal pointer is returned:
there is no segmentation violation on Windows for a program
compiled with "tcc -b"
* remove "C:" subdir on clean if $HOST_OS = "Linux"
* default CFLAGS="-Wall -g -O0" insteed CFLAGS="-Wall -g -O2"
to speed up compilation and more precise debugging.

A non declared function leads to a seriuos problems. And while
gcc don't turn this warning on lets tcc do it. This warning
can be turned off by -Wno-implicit-function-declaration option.
And autor must explicitly do this if program must be compiled
with this warning off.
With this option on a defines are included into the output

This for example suppresses string constants such as with
int main()
{
return sizeof "foo";
}
Actually, setting
nocode_wanted = 1;
in libtcc.c for the initial global level seemed wrong, since
obviously "nocode_wanted" means code as any side effects, also
such as string constants.
This reverts a part of 2de1b2d14c
(documented as "Some in-between fixes" in Changelog)
- revert to R_X86_64_PC32 for near calls on PE
- revert to s1->section_align set to zero by default
Untested. Compared to release_0_9_26 the pe-image looks back to
normal. There are some differences in dissassembly (r10/r11 usage)
but maybe that's ok.
- remove -norunsrc switch
Meaning and usage (-run -norun...???) look sort of screwed. Also
general usefulness is unclear, so it was actually to support exactly
one (not even very interesting) test
This partially reverts e31579b076
Refactoring (no logical changes):
- use memcpy in tccgen.c:ieee_finite(double d)
- use union to store attribute flags in Sym
Makefile: "CFLAGS+=-fno-strict-aliasing" basically not necessary
anymore but I left it for now because gcc sometimes behaves
unexpectedly without.
Also:
- configure: back to mode 100755
- tcc.h: remove unused variables tdata/tbss_section
- x86_64-gen.c: adjust gfunc_sret for prototype
- tccgen: error out for cast to void, as in
void foo(void) { return 1; }
This avoids an assertion failure in x86_64-gen.c, also.
also fix tests2/03_struct.c accordingly
- Error: "memory full" - be more specific
- Makefiles: remove circular dependencies, lookup tcctest.c from VPATH
- tcc.h: cleanup lib, include, crt and libgcc search paths"
avoid duplication or trailing slashes with no CONFIG_MULTIARCHDIR
(as from 9382d6f1a0)
- tcc.h: remove ";{B}" from PE search path

winapi: add missing WINAPI decl. for some functions
I removed the XMM6/7 registers from the register list because they are not used
on Win64 however they are necessary for parameter passing on x86-64. I have now
restored them but not marked them with RC_FLOAT so they will not be used except
for parameter passing.
Modified tcctest.c so that it uses 'double' in place of 'long double'
with MinGW since this is what TCC does, and what Visual C++ does. Added
an option -norunsrc to tcc to allow argv[0] to be set independently of
the compiled source when using tcc -run, which allows tests that rely on
the value of argv[0] to work in out-of-tree builds.
Also added Makefile rules to automatically update out-of-tree build
Makefiles when in-tree Makefiles have changed.
Define __STDC_HOSTED__ to one as the correct values should be either 1
or 0. Since tinycc is hosted, it should be set to 1.
Thanks Christian Jullien for the report.
Quoting Michael Matz on tinycc-devel:

given that tcc assumes a normal main() and that the
rest of the provided facilities is provided by the C

That the change fixes the warning doesn't make sense but anyway.
libtcc.c:
- tcc_error/warning: print correct source filename/line for

lddir and multiarch logic still needs fixing.

- tcc_set_warning -> tcc_set_options(s, "-W...");
- tcc_enable_debug -> tcc_set_options(s, "-g");
parse_args is moved to libtcc.c (now tcc_parse_args).
Also some cleanups:
- reorder TCCState members
- add some comments here and there
- do not use argv's directly, make string copies
- use const char* in tcc_set_linker
- tccpe: use fd instead of fp

TCCs make dependency generator is incompatible with the GNU
depcomp script which is widely used. For TCC it has to go over
the output of -MD, (it detects it as ICC compatible), but the
sed commands it uses are confused by tabs in the output, so that
some rewrites aren't done.
Those tabs will then finally confuse make itself when the
generated .d files are included. It reads them as goal commands
(leading tab), and is totally lost then.
Short of changing depcomp (hard because distributed with all kinds
of software), simply emit spaces for -MD.
This matters when sizeof is directly used in arithmetic,
ala "uintptr_t t; t &= -sizeof(long)" (for alignment). When sizeof
isn't size_t (as it's specified to be) this masking will truncate
the high bits of the uintptr_t object (if uintptr_t is larger than
uint).
ld support arguments to multiple-letter options being passed in two
ways:
* -opt=arg
* -opt arg
libtool generate command line of the second form. This commit add
support for the second form so that libtool works with tcc. The way it
is done is to concatenate all -Wl options into one and then pass it to
set_linker.
Modify tcc to accept convert full 64bits of specified text section

Since commit 9b09fc3 ("Add support of asm label for functions",
05-09-2010) tcc has had the capability to rename functions at the
assembly level. This capability was subsequently used by commit
2596273 ("Add support for __REDIRECT_NTH needed with eglibc",
11-09-2010) to redirect long double functions on platforms which
did not support long double.
Here we add the companion macro __REDIRECT which is used (along
with __REDIRECT_NTH) in the glibc headers on Linux to support the
Large File API (when _FILE_OFFSET_BITS is set to 64).

This changeset attempts to fix a few problems when giving using
the high 32bits of a 64bit section offset. There are likely more
issues (or perhaps regressions) lurking in the muck here. In general,
this moves a few data type declarations to use uplong. Also, add
support for 64bit mingw32 building under cygwin. Because native
types are used for 64 bit offsets, this won't fix challenges with
cross compiling from 32bit -> 64bit.

Also the CONFIG_TCC_XXX were renamed to make them look

Also move the elf_interp definitions to tcc.h.
Add a --multiarch-triplet switch to configure. The switch will allow
files to be search for each default path in path/<triplet> and then
path.
Default paths handled that way:
- CONFIG_TCC_SYSINCLUDE_PATHS
- CONFIG_TCC_LIBPATH
- path to crt*.o
- path to libgcc_s.so.1
Path missing: elf interpreter path (will be handled in another commit)
This allows passing colon separated paths to
tcc_add_library_path
tcc_add_sysinclude_path
tcc_add_include_path
Also there are new configure variables
CONFIG_TCC_LIBPATH
CONFIG_TCC_SYSINCLUDE_PATHS
which define the lib/sysinclude paths all in one and can
be overridden from configure/make
For TCC_TARGET_PE semicolons (;) are used as separators
Also, \b in the path string is replaced by s->tcc_lib_path
(CONFIG_TCCDIR rsp. -B option)
This was already possible using
make NOTALLINONE=1
and is now the default.
To build as previously from one big source, use
make ONE_SOURCE=1
Cross compilers are still build from one source because using
separate objects requires separate build directories one per
platform which currently is not (yet) supported by the makefile.
We could probably use gnu-makeish target variables like
$(I386_CROSS): OUTDIR=build/i386
$(X64_CROSS): OUTDIR=build/x86-64
and so on ...
Also NEED_FLOAT_TYPES for arm-gen is removed. It was about
variables that are referenced from outside (libtcc, tccgen).
We could declare them in tcc.h (as with reg_classes) or have
them twice in arm-gen.c. I chose option 2.
* Rename tcc_split_path_components
* Move tcc_split_path below memory wrapper section
* Ident tcc_split_path by 4
* Remove prefix and suffix clutter in tcc_split_path
* Don't dereference beyond the end of the search paths string
Add the possibility to search headers in several subdirectories of
/usr/local/include and /usr/include. A possible use case would be for
tcc to search for headers in /usr/local/include/x86_64-linux-gnu,
/usr/local/include, /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu and /usr/include in
turn.
By default, tcc search libraries in /lib and /usr/local/lib while crt*.o
files are searched in /usr/lib and ld.so is searched in /lib.
Unfortunetely the path are hardcoded in source code. This patch allow
tcc to look in an other directory and also to look in extra directories.
It's then possible to make tcc search libraries in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
and /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu while crt*.o files are searched in
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu and ld.so is searched in
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu.
To make this the default, enable this line in libtcc.c:tcc_new:
#if defined(TCC_TARGET_PE) && 0
s->leading_underscore = 1;
and then recompile tcc and also libtcc1.a
- Fix function assembly label mechanism introduced in commit
9b09fc376e to only accept alternative
name for function declaration.
- merge the code with the one introduced in commit
264a103610.
- Don't memorize token for asm label but directly the asm label.
Add support for __REDIRECT_NTH as eglibc makes use of this macro to
redirect long double functions to long functions on arch not supporting
long double.
Add support for asm labels for functions, that is the ability to rename
a function at assembly level with __asm__ ("newname") appended in
function declaration.
This affectes where `tcc -E -MD file.c` will place generated dependency
information -- previously, for `tcc -E` output_default was a.out, and so
deps were put into a.d .
Avoid this behaviour, by treating `tcc -E` as `tcc -c` with respect to
output_default computation.
This will not hurt anything else (preprocessor outputs to either stdout,
or to explicitely given (-o <file>) destination, so no default filename
is used here), and on the other hand `tcc -E -MD file.c` now puts
dependencies into file.d (the same behaviour as for gcc -E).
v2:
- restructured condition a bit to make it more clear
Since for upcoming -MD support default _compile_ output file be needed
even when preprocesssing (tcc -E), let's move this code out of one
particular condition block into a common function, so that we could use
it in deps generation code too.
v2:
- As suggested by grischka, moved into libtcc function instead of always
computing near start of main()
- There is a FIXME about how to return result - I don't want to bother
callers with allocating temp buffers, not I think it will be a good
idea to hook default_target to TCCState. Clearly, I'm to used to
things like std::string and python's str...
files[0], and reloc_outpu will be needed for (upcoming in the next
patch) "compute default outfile name" refactored into libtcc function.
Also, since for symmetry and from libification point of view, it makes
some sense to also put all information about what was given as input to
compilation into TCCState, let's not only put files[0], but all
files and all libraries given explicitely by user.
One point: I've used bitfield for reloc_output & trimmed down
output_type to 8 bits so that TCCState stays the same in size, and also
access to output_type is (hopefully) is not slower.
By the way -- as of today, sizeof(TCCState) on i686-pc-linux-gnu is 2884
bytes...

I think i have managed to solve the problem and produce
almost valid elf files on FreeBSD. The two patches attached
address a few problems (trying to explain to the
best of my knowledge; i am not very familiar with ELF and
the FreeBSD ELF conventions):
1. ELF file format
tcc produces an ELF executable which is good for linux but
not for FreeBSD. It misses the PHDR section which is almost
mandatory for shared executables, puts in the .dynsym section
some relocation info that FreeBSD expects to be in .got,
and expect the relocation sections to be contiguous.
patch-tccelf.c tries to address the above problem using
conditional sections (so hopefully can be imported upstream)
and also adds the ability to override the name of the dynamic
loader through an environment variable (this is important to
debug tcc).
2. predefined macros
patch-libtcc.c adds/fixes some predefined macros when compiling
on FreeBSD: these are __FreeBSD__ and the usual set of
__i386__ and __unix__ variants.
It also sets __INTEL_COMPILER so we can grab the __aligned
macro from cdefs.h , otherwise many programs would fail
The resulting elf file is still not 100% correct -- if you strip it,
the program will not run (presumably there is some dangling reference).
Other than that, program do seem to run correctly.
It would be nice to integrate these patches in the main repository.
The FreeBSD specific code is in #ifdef so it should not harm
linux users
