VTCC

Compile and Run C code from Java via embedded TCC Compiler (Works on Linux, Windows and macOS)

Usage:

To execute C code, the following method can be used:

// execute C code"
String code = "#include <stdio.h>\n" +
              "int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {\n" +
              "  printf(\"Hello, World!\\n\");\n"+
              "  return 0;\n"+
              "}";
CInterpreter.execute(code);

To execute a specified C script, use:

// execute main.c
CInterpreter.execute(new File("main.c"));

To print the output to given print streams, use the print(...) method:

// execute main.c
CInterpreter.execute(new File("main.c")).print(System.out,System.err);

To wait until the execution has finished, use the waitFor() method:

// execute main.c and wait until exution finishes"
CInterpreter.execute(new File("main.c")).waitFor();

The exit value can be accessed via:

// execute main.c
CInterpreter.execute(new File("main.c")).getProcess().exitValue();

To destroy the current process, the destroy()method can be used:

// execute main.c
CInterpreter.execute(new File("main.c")).destroy();
