Tiny C Compiler Alternatives

Tiny C Compiler

The Tiny C Compiler is an x86, x86-64 and ARM processor C compiler created by Fabrice Bellard. It is designed to work for slow computers with little disk space . Windows operating system support was added in version 0.9.23 . TCC is distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License .TCC claims to implement all of ANSI C , much of the C99 ISO standard, and many GNU C extensions including inline assembly.FeaturesTCC has a number of features which differentiate it from other current C compilers: Its small file size and memory footprint allow it to be used directly from a single 1.44 M floppy disk, such as a rescue disk. TCC is intended to produce native x86, x86-64 and ARM code very quickly; according to Bellard, it compiles, assembles and links about nine times faster than GCC does. TCC has a number of compiler-specific language features intended to improve its practicality, such as an optional memory and bound checker, for improved code stability. TCC allows programs to be run automatically at compile time using a command-line switch. This allows programs to be run as a shell script under Unix-like systems which support the shebang interpreter directive syntax.
