I have made 1 game engine: http://aeonalpha.com http://aeonalpha.com And I'm working on my second: http://ahoy.rupy.se http://ahoy.rupy.se Right now I'm struggling with the fact that I'm not allowed to redistribute cl.exe compiler (I tried real hard: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/allow-redistribution-of-the-clexe-compiler/975508 https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/allow-redistri...) so people have to download the whole VS package and extract the necessary files (takes about 2 hours) to get automatic integrated recompile and hotdeploy in my engine. So I'm looking at going full tinycc and dropping VS all together on Windows. But then seen how they are deprecating my pretty new and probably good forever Skylake on Windows 11 I'm thinking it's over and I should just switch to Jetson Nano but then I'm owned by Nvidia... (Raspberry 4 driver has HALF_FLOAT issues still and well Broadcom... + CPU/GPU balance is off) so I'm kinda loosing hope for humanity at this point! Risc-V is not progressing hard and fast enough to make it in time! Edit: Zig, Go, Rust and WASM are not solutions, they are fragmentations. Only C(+) on client and JavaSE (VM and GC) on server makes sense. (Gotta burn that karma somehow right?)

I don't think I understand your problem well enough, but just in case, would using dlopen with gcc or LLVM instead help?

Perhaps you could include the zig compiler instead, and use “zig cc” to compile C/C++ with it.

Did you consider the Zig toolchain? It's also a full C/C++ compiler toolchain (via Clang), and comes with enough Windows headers (from the MingW project) to build DirectX games out of the box. For instance here is Zig as Python package to provide a simple cross-compilation solution for other Python packages that need to build native DLLs: https://github.com/ziglang/zig-pypi https://github.com/ziglang/zig-pypi

Nice, mine is a 2D engine. http://github.com/ensisoft/gamestudio http://github.com/ensisoft/gamestudio
