<h1 class="chapter"> 1. Introduction </h1>

<p>TinyCC (aka TCC) is a small but hyper fast C compiler. Unlike other C
compilers, it is meant to be self-relying: you do not need an
external assembler or linker because TCC does that for you.
</p>
<p>TCC compiles so <em>fast</em> that even for big projects <code>Makefile</code>s may
not be necessary.
</p>
<p>TCC not only supports ANSI C, but also most of the new ISO C99
standard and many GNUC extensions including inline assembly.
</p>
<p>TCC can also be used to make <em>C scripts</em>, i.e. pieces of C source
that you run as a Perl or Python script. Compilation is so fast that
your script will be as fast as if it was an executable.
</p>
<p>TCC can also automatically generate memory and bound checks
(see section <a href="#SEC21">TinyCC Memory and Bound checks</a>) while allowing all C pointers operations. TCC can do
these checks even if non patched libraries are used.
</p>
<p>With <code>libtcc</code>, you can use TCC as a backend for dynamic code
generation (see section <a href="#SEC22">The <code>libtcc</code> library</a>).
</p>
<p>TCC mainly supports the i386 target on Linux and Windows. There are alpha
ports for the ARM (<code>arm-tcc</code>) and the TMS320C67xx targets
(<code>c67-tcc</code>). More information about the ARM port is available at
<a href="http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/tinycc-devel/2003-10/msg00044.html">http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/tinycc-devel/2003-10/msg00044.html</a>.
</p>
<p>For usage on Windows, see also tcc-win32.txt.

<p>TCC options are a very much like gcc options. The main difference is that TCC
can also execute directly the resulting program and give it runtime
arguments.
</p>
<p>Here are some examples to understand the logic:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt> <code>&lsquo;<samp>tcc -run a.c</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
<dd><p>Compile &lsquo;<tt>a.c</tt>&rsquo; and execute it directly
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>&lsquo;<samp>tcc -run a.c arg1</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
<dd><p>Compile a.c and execute it directly. arg1 is given as first argument to
the <code>main()</code> of a.c.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>&lsquo;<samp>tcc a.c -run b.c arg1</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
<dd><p>Compile &lsquo;<tt>a.c</tt>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<tt>b.c</tt>&rsquo;, link them together and execute them. arg1 is given
as first argument to the <code>main()</code> of the resulting program. 
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>&lsquo;<samp>tcc -o myprog a.c b.c</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
<dd><p>Compile &lsquo;<tt>a.c</tt>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<tt>b.c</tt>&rsquo;, link them and generate the executable &lsquo;<tt>myprog</tt>&rsquo;.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>&lsquo;<samp>tcc -o myprog a.o b.o</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
<dd><p>link &lsquo;<tt>a.o</tt>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<tt>b.o</tt>&rsquo; together and generate the executable &lsquo;<tt>myprog</tt>&rsquo;.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>&lsquo;<samp>tcc -c a.c</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
<dd><p>Compile &lsquo;<tt>a.c</tt>&rsquo; and generate object file &lsquo;<tt>a.o</tt>&rsquo;.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>&lsquo;<samp>tcc -c asmfile.S</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
<dd><p>Preprocess with C preprocess and assemble &lsquo;<tt>asmfile.S</tt>&rsquo; and generate
object file &lsquo;<tt>asmfile.o</tt>&rsquo;.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>&lsquo;<samp>tcc -c asmfile.s</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
<dd><p>Assemble (but not preprocess) &lsquo;<tt>asmfile.s</tt>&rsquo; and generate object file
&lsquo;<tt>asmfile.o</tt>&rsquo;.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>&lsquo;<samp>tcc -r -o ab.o a.c b.c</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
<dd><p>Compile &lsquo;<tt>a.c</tt>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<tt>b.c</tt>&rsquo;, link them together and generate the object file &lsquo;<tt>ab.o</tt>&rsquo;.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>

<p>Scripting:
</p>
<p>TCC can be invoked from <em>scripts</em>, just as shell scripts. You just
need to add <code>#!/usr/local/bin/tcc -run</code> at the start of your C source:
</p>
<table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">#!/usr/local/bin/tcc -run
#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;

int main() 
{
    printf(&quot;Hello World\n&quot;);
    return 0;
}
</pre></td></tr></table>

<p>TCC can read C source code from <em>standard input</em> when &lsquo;<samp>-</samp>&rsquo; is used in 
place of &lsquo;<samp>infile</samp>&rsquo;. Example:
</p>
<table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">echo 'main(){puts(&quot;hello&quot;);}' | tcc -run -
</pre></td></tr></table>

<p>TCC implements many features of the new C standard: ISO C99. Currently
missing items are: complex and imaginary numbers and variable length
arrays.
</p>
<p>Currently implemented ISOC99 features:
</p>
<ul class="toc">
<li> 64 bit <code>long long</code> types are fully supported.

</li><li> The boolean type <code>_Bool</code> is supported.

</li><li> <code>__func__</code> is a string variable containing the current
function name.

</li><li> Variadic macros: <code>__VA_ARGS__</code> can be used for
   function-like macros:
<table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">    #define dprintf(level, __VA_ARGS__) printf(__VA_ARGS__)
</pre></td></tr></table>

<p><code>dprintf</code> can then be used with a variable number of parameters.
</p>
</li><li> Declarations can appear anywhere in a block (as in C++).

</li><li> Array and struct/union elements can be initialized in any order by
  using designators:
<table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">    struct { int x, y; } st[10] = { [0].x = 1, [0].y = 2 };

    int tab[10] = { 1, 2, [5] = 5, [9] = 9};

</li><li> Compound initializers are supported:
<table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">    int *p = (int []){ 1, 2, 3 };
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>to initialize a pointer pointing to an initialized array. The same
works for structures and strings.
</p>
</li><li> Hexadecimal floating point constants are supported:
<table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">          double d = 0x1234p10;
</pre></td></tr></table>

<p>is the same as writing 
</p><table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">          double d = 4771840.0;

<a name="IDX5"></a>
<a name="IDX6"></a>
<a name="IDX7"></a>
<a name="IDX8"></a>

</li><li> The keyword <code>__attribute__</code> is handled to specify variable or
function attributes. The following attributes are supported:
  
<ul class="toc">
<li> <code>aligned(n)</code>: align a variable or a structure field to n bytes
(must be a power of two).

  </li><li> <code>packed</code>: force alignment of a variable or a structure field to
  1.

  </li><li> <code>section(name)</code>: generate function or data in assembly section
name (name is a string containing the section name) instead of the default
section.

  </li><li> <code>unused</code>: specify that the variable or the function is unused.

  </li><li> <code>cdecl</code>: use standard C calling convention (default).

  </li><li> <code>stdcall</code>: use Pascal-like calling convention.

  </li><li> <code>regparm(n)</code>: use fast i386 calling convention. <var>n</var> must be
between 1 and 3. The first <var>n</var> function parameters are respectively put in
registers <code>%eax</code>, <code>%edx</code> and <code>%ecx</code>.

  </li><li> <code>dllexport</code>: export function from dll/executable (win32 only)

</li></ul>

<p>Here are some examples:
</p><table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">    int a __attribute__ ((aligned(8), section(&quot;.mysection&quot;)));
</pre></td></tr></table>

<p>align variable <code>a</code> to 8 bytes and put it in section <code>.mysection</code>.

<p>generate function <code>my_add</code> in section <code>.mycodesection</code>.
</p>
</li><li> GNU style variadic macros:
<table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">    #define dprintf(fmt, args&hellip;) printf(fmt, ## args)

    dprintf(&quot;no arg\n&quot;);
    dprintf(&quot;one arg %d\n&quot;, 1);
</pre></td></tr></table>

</li><li> <code>__FUNCTION__</code> is interpreted as C99 <code>__func__</code> 
(so it has not exactly the same semantics as string literal GNUC
where it is a string literal).

</li><li> The <code>__alignof__</code> keyword can be used as <code>sizeof</code> 
to get the alignment of a type or an expression.

</li><li> The <code>typeof(x)</code> returns the type of <code>x</code>. 
<code>x</code> is an expression or a type.

</li><li> Computed gotos: <code>&amp;&amp;label</code> returns a pointer of type 
<code>void *</code> on the goto label <code>label</code>. <code>goto *expr</code> can be
used to jump on the pointer resulting from <code>expr</code>.

</li><li> Inline assembly with asm instruction:

<h1 class="chapter"> 4. TinyCC Assembler </h1>

<p>Since version 0.9.16, TinyCC integrates its own assembler. TinyCC
assembler supports a gas-like syntax (GNU assembler). You can
desactivate assembler support if you want a smaller TinyCC executable

</p>
<p>TinyCC Assembler is used to handle files with &lsquo;<tt>.S</tt>&rsquo; (C
preprocessed assembler) and &lsquo;<tt>.s</tt>&rsquo; extensions. It is also used to
handle the GNU inline assembler with the <code>asm</code> keyword.

<h2 class="section"> 5.1 ELF file generation </h2>

<p>TCC can directly output relocatable ELF files (object files),
executable ELF files and dynamic ELF libraries without relying on an
external linker.
</p>
<p>Dynamic ELF libraries can be output but the C compiler does not generate
position independent code (PIC). It means that the dynamic library
code generated by TCC cannot be factorized among processes yet.
</p>
<p>TCC linker eliminates unreferenced object code in libraries. A single pass is
done on the object and library list, so the order in which object files and
libraries are specified is important (same constraint as GNU ld). No grouping
options (&lsquo;<samp>--start-group</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>--end-group</samp>&rsquo;) are supported.

<p>When a reference to another type is needed (for pointers, functions and

<p>Arrays are considered as pointers <code>VT_PTR</code> with the flag
<code>VT_ARRAY</code> set.

<p>The <code>VT_BITFIELD</code> flag can be set for chars, shorts, ints and long
longs. If it is set, then the bitfield position is stored from bits
VT_STRUCT_SHIFT to VT_STRUCT_SHIFT + 5 and the bit field size is stored
from bits VT_STRUCT_SHIFT + 6 to VT_STRUCT_SHIFT + 11.

<h2 class="section"> 8.5 Symbols </h2>

<p>All symbols are stored in hashed symbol stacks. Each symbol stack
contains <code>Sym</code> structures.
</p>
<p><code>Sym.v</code> contains the symbol name (remember
an idenfier is also a token, so a string is never necessary to store
it). <code>Sym.t</code> gives the type of the symbol. <code>Sym.r</code> is usually
the register in which the corresponding variable is stored. <code>Sym.c</code> is
usually a constant associated to the symbol.
</p>
<p>Four main symbol stacks are defined:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt> <code>define_stack</code></dt>
<dd><p>for the macros (<code>#define</code>s).
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>global_stack</code></dt>
<dd><p>for the global variables, functions and types.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>local_stack</code></dt>
<dd><p>for the local variables, functions and types.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>global_label_stack</code></dt>
<dd><p>for the local labels (for <code>goto</code>).
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>label_stack</code></dt>
<dd><p>for GCC block local labels (see the <code>__label__</code> keyword).
</p>
</dd>
</dl>

<p><code>sym_push()</code> is used to add a new symbol in the local symbol
stack. If no local symbol stack is active, it is added in the global
symbol stack.
</p>
<p><code>sym_pop(st,b)</code> pops symbols from the symbol stack <var>st</var> until
the symbol <var>b</var> is on the top of stack. If <var>b</var> is NULL, the stack
is emptied.
</p>
<p><code>sym_find(v)</code> return the symbol associated to the identifier
<var>v</var>. The local stack is searched first from top to bottom, then the
global stack.

<h3 class="subsection"> 8.7.1 Introduction </h3>

<p>The TCC code generator directly generates linked binary code in one
pass. It is rather unusual these days (see gcc for example which
generates text assembly), but it can be very fast and surprisingly
little complicated.
</p>
<p>The TCC code generator is register based. Optimization is only done at
the expression level. No intermediate representation of expression is
kept except the current values stored in the <em>value stack</em>.
</p>
<p>On x86, three temporary registers are used. When more registers are
needed, one register is spilled into a new temporary variable on the stack.

stack entry is the structure <code>SValue</code>.

currently stored in the generated code. It is usually a CPU register
index (<code>REG_xxx</code> constants), but additional values and flags are
