From the tcc man page:

       "tcc -run a.c"
           Compile a.c and execute it directly

So it's not exactly an interpreter, though it might be useful in some of
the same contexts where an interpreter would be useful.  It would be
straightforward to implement a wrapper for any C compiler that does the
same thing.
