Why go to all that trouble when you can just

#!/usr/bin/tcc -run #include <stdio.h> int main() { puts("Hello, World!"); }

Because most people don't have tcc installed, and the convenience is ruined if you have to install things for this to work. I really like that tcc has a flag for this; GCC and Clang really should copy it.

When I read the source and started on the comments, I thought: won't be long until someone drops in TCC. But yes, TCC does limit you in this regard a bit.
