Bug#420643: O: tcc -- The smallest ANSI C compiler
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I intend to orphan the tcc package, as I'm no longer interested in it.
It needs a few patches to work again with the current toolchain; some
are in CVS and some are in Rob Landley's fork.
The package description is:
TCC (for Tiny C Compiler) is a small and fast ANSI C compiler. 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 via the usual hash-bang mechanism.
.
NOTE: TCC is still somewhat experimental and is not recommended for
production use. The code it generates is much less optimized than what
GCC produces, and compiler bugs can have serious security consequences
for your program.
.
