Trying to embed python into tinycc, says python symbols are undefined

I've literally spent the past half hour searching for the solution to this, and everything involves GCC. What I do here works absolutely fine with GCC, however I'm using TinyCC, and this is where I'm getting confused.

Do you prefer compiled or scripted languages?

Since this is wide community using all kind of different technologies, it seems like appropriate place to ask this. Do you like to compile or do you prefer scripting?

(c++) The benefits / disadvantages of unity builds?

Hi, since starting at a new company I've noticed that they use unity cpp files for the majority of our solution, and I was wondering if anyone is able to give me a definitive reason as to why and how these speed up the build process?, as I would've thought that editing one cpp file in the unity files will force recompilation of all of th...
