Is there a small version of GCC for shipping with Windows program? Because Mingw installation takes frigging gigabyte, including a lot of bloat, like C++ and fortran compiler, with useless crap, like directx bindings.

It never ceases to amuse me how stupid GCC is, despite its size.
This boringly trivial function void foo(int *x) { (*x)++; }
with default settings, turns into this monster:
; this isn't 16-bit --- you can use rsp too, retard push rbp mov rbp, rsp ; you write the first param into memory... mov QWORD PTR [rbp-8], rdi ; ... just so you can read it back again? WTF!? mov rax, QWORD PTR [rbp-8] mov eax, DWORD PTR [rax] ; Let's waste another register just so we can show off ; how clever we are with the lea instruction. Idiot. lea edx, [rax+1] ; If you were the slightest bit intelligent, you would ; not overwrite rax with the value. If you were just a ; tiny bit more so, you'd realise that it was already in ; rdi. This is terminally retarded. mov rax, QWORD PTR [rbp-8] mov DWORD PTR [rax], edx ; A NOP!?! What idiocy made you put one here? nop pop rbp ret
It outputs a much better "inc dword [edi]" (as it should) with optimisation, but why the fuck does it even bother generating all that shit otherwise? It's like the default is "-O-3".
