compile-execute-cpp

Compile and execute a .cpp file with minimal typing

This script lets you compile and run a C++ file with minimal typing. Works on *nix systems.

How to Use

Requirements

• wget
• Bash along with an existing .bashrc file

Get It

Open a terminal and run wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ghosh-r/compile-execute-cpp/main/ce_setup.sh. This will download a file ce_setup.sh in your current directory.

Set-up

• Run chmod +x ce_setup.sh to give it permission to execute.
• Run sudo ./ce_setup.sh to complete the setup.
• When setup completes run chmod +x ~/.ce-cpp/ce.sh to make the main script executable by system. You only need to do it once.

Note: No root privilege required.

Using

After you have completed writing your .cpp file, open a terminal in that directory and run ce file.cpp to compile and execute with a single command.

ce stands for 'compile execute'.

Examples

A C++ file-

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {
	cout << "Hello world" << endl;
	return 0;
}

Save and exit.

Open terminal, run-

ce hello_world.cpp

You will get-

Hello world
