runcpp

Quickly run single C++ source code files

About

runcpp can execute C++ source code files, as you do with shell / bash scripts. No more need to build and run successively, you can quickly evaluate simple C++ code snippets.

$ ./hello.cpp
hello world!

How does it work?

Add #!/usr/local/bin/runcpp at the beginning of your C++ source code and set an execute permission on your file (chmod 755 ./hello.cpp) to allow its execution.

#!/usr/local/bin/runcpp

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main( int argc, char ** argv )
{
	cout << "hello world!" << endl;

	return 0;
}

NOTE: Change the path /usr/local/bin/runcpp depending on your runcpp installation path.

Execute simple expressions

Example 1

$ ./runcpp "for( int i = 0; i < 10; i++ ){ cout << i << endl; }"
0
1

Example 2

$ ./runcpp "(42 % 10)"

Manual

$ ./runcpp --help
OVERVIEW: runcpp (https://github.com/codebar33/runcpp)

Runcpp can compile and execute C or C++ source code or simple code expressions.
Once installed in /usr/local/bin, you can add "#!/usr/local/bin/runcpp" at the beginning of your source code to allow its "direct" execution.
It uses the default system C and C++ compiler but you can specify one if you like.
C and C++ file extensions are currently supported, feel free to add a support for more languages!

USAGE: runcpp [options] source code file or code expression

OPTIONS:
	-h,--help	Show this help message
	-c,--compiler	Specify the compiler (cc, c++, gcc, g++, clang, clang++...)
