Could you please tell why tcc works for your usecases? Asking so that I know when to reach for it.


When compilation speed matters a lot more than runtime. I use it when working on plain c codebases that are slightly larger. It compiles about 10-20x faster than GCC and clang on -O0 meaning 0.3s to run my code vs 5s.


That is a good reason!
