This is a very simple example of tinycc's dynamic compilation feature.

Your C application can compile another C source file(s). You can play around with this running:

make
./main target.c

You should see two strings being printed. Keep the app running and edit strings in the target.c file. The running application should start printing the new strings.

I'll hopefully update this with checking if the file was modified, instead of running the basic while loop.

Contents of this repo

This example should be self contained. You should need to install anything for it to work. The files listed below can be fetched from the tinycc build directory. Just clone the tinycc repo and build it.

• tcc_local/libtcc1.a - a runtime dependency necessary for JIT (just-in-time compilation).
• tcc_local/tcclib.a - a compile time dependency. This gets linked statically.
• tcc_local/libtcc.h - header for the tinycc API.
• tcc_local/tcclib.h - header runtime libtcc1.a runtime dependency.
