What Hacker News says
2 sourcesI'd love to have some of these libraries in slimcc's test pool, but almost every one of them have hard-coded assumptions to gcc/clang/msvc/tcc in their scripts that are tiresome to undo. For example:
MLIB: assumed GCC https://github.com/P-p-H-d/mlib/blob/4b9c213831624486814a483...
STC: assumed -fopenmp https://github.com/stclib/STC/blob/de7313a58f748d9a6da751eb9...
CC: assumed clang https://github.com/JacksonAllan/CC/blob/main/tests/run_unit_...
