I wasn't saying that it would take a year or even a few years. I was merely saying that most of the effort in gcc/msvc was related to things like optimizing and maintaining multiple architectures. A simple compliant C compiler that only targets x86_64 and performs no optimization, for example, would be much smaller than GCC.

- JoachimSchipper 14y agoConsider tcc, which is indeed much simpler than gcc.
- wglb 14y agoAh, yes. I was still thinking C++ as the discussion seemed to slip over to simple C.
