Correct. The min() is there for a reason. In the unlikely event that
the TCC limit is raised to more than 16 bits, it is clamped to the
maximum value allowed for the generated code (0xffff). One can argue
that it is better fail to compile instead of degrading gracefully, but
some kind check should be there IMO.
