+<h2 class="chapter">1 Introduction</h2>
+
+<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 <a href="#Bounds">Bounds</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 <a href="#Libtcc">Libtcc</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 <a href="tcc-win32.txt">tcc-win32.txt</a>.

+<h2 class="chapter">2 Command line invocation</h2>
+
+<a name="Quick-start"></a>
+<h3 class="section">2.1 Quick start</h3>
+
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">usage: tcc [options] [<var>infile1</var> <var>infile2</var>&hellip;] [<samp>-run</samp> <var>infile</var> <var>args</var>&hellip;]
+</pre></div>
+
+<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 <samp>a.c</samp> 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 <samp>a.c</samp> and <samp>b.c</samp>, 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 <samp>a.c</samp> and <samp>b.c</samp>, link them and generate the executable <samp>myprog</samp>.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>&lsquo;<samp>tcc -o myprog a.o b.o</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
+<dd><p>link <samp>a.o</samp> and <samp>b.o</samp> together and generate the executable <samp>myprog</samp>.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>&lsquo;<samp>tcc -c a.c</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Compile <samp>a.c</samp> and generate object file <samp>a.o</samp>.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>&lsquo;<samp>tcc -c asmfile.S</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Preprocess with C preprocess and assemble <samp>asmfile.S</samp> and generate
+object file <samp>asmfile.o</samp>.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>&lsquo;<samp>tcc -c asmfile.s</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Assemble (but not preprocess) <samp>asmfile.s</samp> and generate object file
+<samp>asmfile.o</samp>.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>&lsquo;<samp>tcc -r -o ab.o a.c b.c</samp>&rsquo;</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Compile <samp>a.c</samp> and <samp>b.c</samp>, link them together and generate the object file <samp>ab.o</samp>.
+</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>
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">#!/usr/local/bin/tcc -run
+#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
+
+int main()
+{
+ printf(&quot;Hello World\n&quot;);
+ return 0;
+}
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>TCC can read C source code from <em>standard input</em> when <samp>-</samp> is used in
+place of <samp>infile</samp>. Example:
+</p>
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">echo 'main(){puts(&quot;hello&quot;);}' | tcc -run -
+</pre></div>
+
+<a name="Option-summary"></a>
+<h3 class="section">2.2 Option summary</h3>
+
+<p>General Options:

+</dd>
+<dt><samp>-run source [args...]</samp></dt>
+<dd><p>Compile file <var>source</var> and run it with the command line arguments
+<var>args</var>. In order to be able to give more than one argument to a
+script, several TCC options can be given <em>after</em> the
+<samp>-run</samp> option, separated by spaces:
+</p><div class="example">
+<pre class="example">tcc &quot;-run -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11&quot; ex4.c
+</pre></div>
+<p>In a script, it gives the following header:

+
+<p>TCC implements all the ANSI C standard, including structure bit fields

+<code>float</code> fully supported).
+</p>
+<a name="ISOC99-extensions"></a>
+<h3 class="section">3.2 ISOC99 extensions</h3>
+
+<p>TCC implements many features of the new C standard: ISO C99. Currently
+missing items are: complex and imaginary numbers.
+</p>
+<p>Currently implemented ISOC99 features:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li> variable length arrays.
+
+</li><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:
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example"> #define dprintf(level, __VA_ARGS__) printf(__VA_ARGS__)
+</pre></div>
+
+<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:
+<div class="example">
+<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:
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example"> int *p = (int []){ 1, 2, 3 };
+</pre></div>
+<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:
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example"> double d = 0x1234p10;
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>is the same as writing
+</p><div class="example">

+<ul>
+<li> array designators can be used without &rsquo;=&rsquo;:
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example"> int a[10] = { [0] 1, [5] 2, 3, 4 };
+</pre></div>
+
+</li><li> Structure field designators can be a label:
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example"> struct { int x, y; } st = { x: 1, y: 1};

+</pre></div>
+
+</li><li> <code>\e</code> is ASCII character 27.
+
+</li><li> case ranges : ranges can be used in <code>case</code>s:
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example"> switch(a) {
+ case 1 &hellip; 9:

+<a name="index-dllexport-attribute"></a>
+
+</li><li> The keyword <code>__attribute__</code> is handled to specify variable or
+function attributes. The following attributes are supported:
+ <ul>
+<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.
+

+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

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

+ dprintf(&quot;no arg\n&quot;);
+ dprintf(&quot;one arg %d\n&quot;, 1);
+</pre></div>
+
+</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

+<a name="Syntax"></a>
+<h3 class="section">4.1 Syntax</h3>
+
+<p>TinyCC Assembler supports most of the gas syntax. The tokens are the

+</p>
+<ul>
+<li> C and C++ comments are supported.
+
+</li><li> Identifiers are the same as C, so you cannot use &rsquo;.&rsquo; or &rsquo;$&rsquo;.

+
+<ol>
+<li> *, /, %
+</li><li> &amp;, |, ^

+
+</li><li> A value is either an absolute number or a label plus an offset.
+All operators accept absolute values except &rsquo;+&rsquo; and &rsquo;-&rsquo;. &rsquo;+&rsquo; or &rsquo;-&rsquo; can be

+
+<p>TCC can directly output relocatable ELF files (object files),

+<p>Dynamic ELF libraries can be output but the C compiler does not generate

+</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 (<samp>--start-group</samp> and <samp>--end-group</samp>) are supported.

+
+<p>This chapter gives some hints to understand how TCC works. You can skip
+it if you do not intend to modify the TCC code.
+</p>
+<a name="File-reading"></a>
+<h3 class="section">8.1 File reading</h3>
+
+<p>The <code>BufferedFile</code> structure contains the context needed to read a
+file, including the current line number. <code>tcc_open()</code> opens a new
+file and <code>tcc_close()</code> closes it. <code>inp()</code> returns the next
+character.
+</p>
+<a name="Lexer"></a>
+<h3 class="section">8.2 Lexer</h3>
+
+<p><code>next()</code> reads the next token in the current
+file. <code>next_nomacro()</code> reads the next token without macro
+expansion.
+</p>
+<p><code>tok</code> contains the current token (see <code>TOK_xxx</code>)
+constants. Identifiers and keywords are also keywords. <code>tokc</code>
+contains additional infos about the token (for example a constant value
+if number or string token).
+</p>
+<a name="Parser"></a>
+<h3 class="section">8.3 Parser</h3>
+
+<p>The parser is hardcoded (yacc is not necessary). It does only one pass,
+except:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li> For initialized arrays with unknown size, a first pass
+is done to count the number of elements.
+
+</li><li> For architectures where arguments are evaluated in
+reverse order, a first pass is done to reverse the argument order.
+
+</li></ul>
+
+<a name="Types"></a>
+<h3 class="section">8.4 Types</h3>
+
+<p>The types are stored in a single &rsquo;int&rsquo; variable. It was chosen in the
+first stages of development when tcc was much simpler. Now, it may not
+be the best solution.
+</p>
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">#define VT_INT 0 /* integer type */
+#define VT_BYTE 1 /* signed byte type */
+#define VT_SHORT 2 /* short type */
+#define VT_VOID 3 /* void type */
+#define VT_PTR 4 /* pointer */
+#define VT_ENUM 5 /* enum definition */
+#define VT_FUNC 6 /* function type */
+#define VT_STRUCT 7 /* struct/union definition */
+#define VT_FLOAT 8 /* IEEE float */
+#define VT_DOUBLE 9 /* IEEE double */
+#define VT_LDOUBLE 10 /* IEEE long double */
+#define VT_BOOL 11 /* ISOC99 boolean type */
+#define VT_LLONG 12 /* 64 bit integer */
+#define VT_LONG 13 /* long integer (NEVER USED as type, only
+ during parsing) */
+#define VT_BTYPE 0x000f /* mask for basic type */
+#define VT_UNSIGNED 0x0010 /* unsigned type */
+#define VT_ARRAY 0x0020 /* array type (also has VT_PTR) */
+#define VT_VLA 0x20000 /* VLA type (also has VT_PTR and VT_ARRAY) */
+#define VT_BITFIELD 0x0040 /* bitfield modifier */
+#define VT_CONSTANT 0x0800 /* const modifier */
+#define VT_VOLATILE 0x1000 /* volatile modifier */
+#define VT_DEFSIGN 0x2000 /* signed type */
+
+#define VT_STRUCT_SHIFT 18 /* structure/enum name shift (14 bits left) */
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>When a reference to another type is needed (for pointers, functions and
+structures), the <code>32 - VT_STRUCT_SHIFT</code> high order bits are used to
+store an identifier reference.
+</p>
+<p>The <code>VT_UNSIGNED</code> flag can be set for chars, shorts, ints and long
+longs.
+</p>
+<p>Arrays are considered as pointers <code>VT_PTR</code> with the flag
+<code>VT_ARRAY</code> set. Variable length arrays are considered as special
+arrays and have flag <code>VT_VLA</code> set instead of <code>VT_ARRAY</code>.
+</p>
+<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.
+</p>
+<p><code>VT_LONG</code> is never used except during parsing.
+</p>
+<p>During parsing, the storage of an object is also stored in the type
+integer:
+</p>
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">#define VT_EXTERN 0x00000080 /* extern definition */
+#define VT_STATIC 0x00000100 /* static variable */
+#define VT_TYPEDEF 0x00000200 /* typedef definition */
+#define VT_INLINE 0x00000400 /* inline definition */
+#define VT_IMPORT 0x00004000 /* win32: extern data imported from dll */
+#define VT_EXPORT 0x00008000 /* win32: data exported from dll */
+#define VT_WEAK 0x00010000 /* win32: data exported from dll */
+</pre></div>
+
+<a name="Symbols"></a>
+<h3 class="section">8.5 Symbols</h3>
+
+<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 identifier 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 like its address for normal
+symbols, and the number of entries for symbols representing arrays.
+Variable length array types use <code>Sym.c</code> as a location on the stack
+which holds the runtime sizeof for the type.
+</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.
+</p>
+<a name="Sections"></a>
+<h3 class="section">8.6 Sections</h3>
+
+<p>The generated code and data are written in sections. The structure
+<code>Section</code> contains all the necessary information for a given
+section. <code>new_section()</code> creates a new section. ELF file semantics
+is assumed for each section.
+</p>
+<p>The following sections are predefined:
+</p>
+<dl compact="compact">
+<dt><code>text_section</code></dt>
+<dd><p>is the section containing the generated code. <var>ind</var> contains the
+current position in the code section.

+<h3 class="section">8.7 Code generation</h3>
+<a name="index-code-generation"></a>
+
+<a name="Introduction-2"></a>
+<h4 class="subsection">8.7.1 Introduction</h4>
+
+<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.
+</p>
+<a name="The-value-stack"></a>
+<h4 class="subsection">8.7.2 The value stack</h4>
+<a name="index-value-stack_002c-introduction"></a>
+
+<p>When an expression is parsed, its value is pushed on the value stack
+(<var>vstack</var>). The top of the value stack is <var>vtop</var>. Each value
+stack entry is the structure <code>SValue</code>.
+</p>
+<p><code>SValue.t</code> is the type. <code>SValue.r</code> indicates how the value is
+currently stored in the generated code. It is usually a CPU register
+index (<code>REG_xxx</code> constants), but additional values and flags are
+defined:
+</p>
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">#define VT_CONST 0x00f0
+#define VT_LLOCAL 0x00f1
+#define VT_LOCAL 0x00f2
+#define VT_CMP 0x00f3
+#define VT_JMP 0x00f4
+#define VT_JMPI 0x00f5
+#define VT_LVAL 0x0100

+
+<p><code>vsetc()</code> and <code>vset()</code> pushes a new value on the value
+stack. If the previous <var>vtop</var> was stored in a very unsafe place(for
+example in the CPU flags), then some code is generated to put the
+previous <var>vtop</var> in a safe storage.
+</p>
+<p><code>vpop()</code> pops <var>vtop</var>. In some cases, it also generates cleanup
+code (for example if stacked floating point registers are used as on
+x86).
+</p>
+<p>The <code>gv(rc)</code> function generates code to evaluate <var>vtop</var> (the
+top value of the stack) into registers. <var>rc</var> selects in which
