i am pondering regarding its results.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

struct account {
 int no;
     char name[20];
};

typedef struct _car {
 int no;
     char name[20];
} car;

typedef struct _lorry {
   int no;
     char name[20];
} lorry, *lorry;

int main(void) {

    struct account s;
   s.no = 405;
 printf("%lu \n", s.no);
  printf("sizeof s = %lu \n", sizeof(s));

      car m;
      m.no = 321;
 printf("%lu \n", m.no);
  printf("sizeof m = %lu \n", sizeof(m));

      lorry *l;
   printf("sizeof *l = %lu \n", sizeof(*l));
        printf("sizeof l = %lu \n", sizeof(l));

      lorry c;
    printf("sizeof c = %lu \n", sizeof(c));

      return(0);
}

the result is

Code:

405
sizeof s = 24
321
sizeof m = 24
sizeof *l = 4
sizeof l = 4
sizeof c = 4

i am quite certain that the sizeof c should be 24. (same as sizeof m).
is this compiler error somehow?

i think somehow i found the reason.
tcc doesn't throw warning or error on conflicting types.

Code:

typedef struct _lorry {
        int no;
        char name[20];
} lorry, *plorry;

would make c = 24;

That typedef immediately struck me. Got to try it with some normal C compiler.

in visual studio 2005 I get

Quote:

405
sizeof s = 24
321
sizeof m = 24
sizeof *l = 24
sizeof l = 4
sizeof c = 24

btw, had to remove *lorry from

Code:

typedef struct _lorry { 
        int no; 
        char name[20]; 
} lorry, *lorry;

because i get

Quote:

error C2040: 'lorry' : '_lorry *' differs in levels of indirection from '_lorry'

Why keep on using TCC instead of a decent compiler?

What other compiler takes under a megabyte of space unpacked and doesn't have to install itself?

BTW:
It's called a Truck. Seriously, "Jolly good day, did you see that lorry go by?". Those englanders have the weirdest words and phrases.

i actually thought of using PCC too, since openbsd dev wanna uses them, it won't be wrong, but couldn't find the win32 version.

Google is your friend.

EDIT2: Ok, forget my last edit(that is, if you read it). Download this file. http://pcc.ludd.ltu.se/ftp/pub/win32/pcc-20090408-win32.exe

Ok, lorry to us is strange. But I bet some of our words are probably strange to you.

weird, why they hide this information in their download page.

yeah, strange, btw, i think you just introduce fasm board with new message encryption utility, size=1 Laughing

It IS a wiki, you could sign up and add the links yourself.

I haven't introduced anything, me and many others have been using size=1 for years.

I think that pcc is not a serious alternative for replacing gcc, but there are huge expectations in clang. You might want to take a look also at the llvm compiler infrastructure that's the engine under the cover. As I know C, and Objective-C are quite matured (Apple pushes the development hard) but there may still be problems with C++ (I simply don't know why this language is not forbidden yet Sad

). The source can of course be downloaded and compiled. I had absolutely no problem with the compilation. On the other hand I doubt that it is less than 1MiB.
