So why was it made fast?

 From the web:

"TinyCC (aka TCC) is a small but hyper fast C compiler. Unlike other C 
compilers, it is meant to be self-sufficient: you do not need an 
external assembler or linker because TCC does that for you.

TCC compiles so fast that even for big projects Makefiles may not be 
necessary.

TCC not only supports ANSI C, but also most of the new ISO C99 standard 
and many GNUC extensions.

TCC can also be used to make C scripts, i.e. pieces of C source that you 
run as a Perl or Python script. Compilation is so fast that your script 
will be as fast as if it was an executable.

TCC can also automatically generate memory and bound checks while 
allowing all C pointers operations. TCC can do these checks even if non 
patched libraries are used.

With libtcc, you can use TCC as a backend for dynamic code generation."

My own product is much more limited (not full C99, targets only Win64, 
various omissions and bugs), but has its own advantages, such as being 
more self-contained then tcc (ie. a single file), making it ultra-simple 
to run from anywhere, copy, download etc.

Or send someone program source code, just add one extra file that is the 
compiler.

You just don't get it. You have a finished, working C application, but 
you inadvertently use tcc to compile the binary for a customer rather 
than gcc. Will they be able to tell the difference?
