Re: [Tinycc-devel] env executable examples

[David Mertens]

Couldn't we just create the binary called tcc-run, so users could say

#!/usr/bin/env tcc-run

at the top of their files?

Actually I've just realized another solution would be to search for a shebang
to tcc when there is only one parameter and this is a c file.

This way we could do /usr/bin/env tcc and tcc would know it must run the
TCC_OUTPUT_MEMORY option. The problem would then be that a file starting with a
valid shebang could not be compiled & linked with tcc. It would break
potential script doing tcc $file && ./a.out

What do you think?
