As far as I am concerned, the most intriguing feature of tcc is
"Memory and Bound checks". Unfortunately, I was not able to make it
work. It keeps telling me "segmentation error" at first attempt to
dereference argv. Is this feature Linux-only or 32-bit only or some
other type of "only" ?
 
 

I tested bound checking on Linux. Here it does not crash. Compilation
is not much slower than without bound checks. Result speed in my tests
was 6-7 times slower than tcc without checks or ~20 times slower than
optimized gcc. I have no idea how this speed impact compares with other
similar tools.
