@juancarlospaco this PR doesn't remove tinyc unlike yours, it moves tinyc to an external repository and you still will be able to fetch tinyc with |
| const nimRoot = currentSourcePath.parentDir.parentDir | ||
| const tinycRoot = nimRoot / tinyPrefix | ||
| when not dirExists(tinycRoot): | ||
| static: doAssert false, $(tinycRoot, "requires: ./koch installdeps tinyc") |

this PR addresses parts of nim-lang/RFCs#206
move out tinyc
EDIT: but I'm still allowing for tinyc to be re-installed (unlike #11529 which was closed because there was no way to install it back)
allow installing external dependency (eg tinyc etc) to Nim via koch
tools/deps.nimto make it easy to update external dependency:proc cloneDependency*(destDirBase: string, url: string, commit = commitHead, appendRepoName = true)which is safe to re-run (for eg with different
commit)and using it from koch, eg:
this will clone https://github.com/timotheecour/nim-tinyc-archive at Nim/dist/nim-tinyc-archive at a fixed revision (the current git HEAD of that repo, corresponding to latest state of tinyc in nim's repo before this PR)
nim c -d:tinyc compiler/nim.nimcompile again; whether or notcompiler/tccgen.nimwill eventually be removed is out of scope for this PR, at least it currently compiles as of this PR in case someone is curious to revive it (perhaps some code can be reused forzigas replacement for tinyc (see Add support forzig ccas C compiler. #13757 and repl for zig ziglang/zig#596). Note that tinyc doesn't work on OSX (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3712902/problems-compiling-tcc-on-os-x#answer-9590412) and lacks documentation (TinyC is not documented #11495)after this PR
