About:
TCC (Tiny C Compiler) is small, fast, unlimited, and safe. You can compile and execute C code everywhere (e.g., on rescue disks). It generates optimized x86 code, and can compile, assemble, and link several times faster than 'gcc -O0'. Any C dynamic library can be used directly. It includes an optional memory and bounds checker, and bounds-checked code can be mixed freely with standard code. C script is also supported--just add '#!/usr/bin/tcc' at the first line of your C source, and execute it directly from the command line.

The idea behing this is very sound, but the bounds checker didn't seem to dump any useful info. Even with the "-g" option which apparently is implied by the "-b" option there is no info for gdb to use in a stack trace to find out where the program's crashed. But please keep up the project - as I said the idea is good.
