[Tinycc-devel] Minor error-reporting bug

[Eric Raible]

Here's a minimal test case:

void f()
{
do { };
}

which gives:

tccbug.c:3: error: '[bletch]' expected (got ";")
where bletch is the code for TOK_WHILE (value==261 in my build) rendered as %c.

In emacs/eshell this displays as   error: '^E' expected (got ";")
In bash this displays as:               error: '' expected (got ";")

It seems to me that "ST_FUNC void skip(int c)" needs to be smarter
about handling 'c',
perhaps formatting it into a string before calling tcc_error().  I
could (in theory) fix this,
but it looks like it would require refactoring get_tok_str() to not
use the global cstr_buf).
A bit above my pay grade.

Anyway, this is not a show stopper by any means, but it is an ugly and
initially confusing message.
