Huh. I've noticed CC running build or test steps piped into greps, to cull useless chatter. It did this all by itself, without my explicit instructions.

Also, I just restart when the context window starts filling up. Small focused changes work better anyway IMO than single god-prompts that try do do everything but eventually exceed context and capability...

cc is the C compiler.

Please don't overload that term with trendy LLM products. You can use the full name.

Surely any distinguished connoisseur of terminology gatekeeping such as yourself is able to distinguish between 'cc' and 'CC'. My terminal is able to spot the difference, you should be able to as well.

		CC is an environment variable / internal variable used by most build tools to identify the current C compiler. cc is the standardized name of the executable, now usually an alias for gcc. Both CC and cc refer to the C compiler, in slightly different ways.
