NAME
compilescript - allows you to execute files from compiled languages as scripts.
SYNOPSIS
compilescript [file|--cleanup] [arguments]
DESCRIPTION
compilescript allows you to execute files from compiled languages as scripts. By default it uses g++.
It compiles the source file, stores the binary in
${XDG_CACHE_HOME}/compilescript/ and executes it. If the binary in cache is
newer than the source file, the compilation is skipped.
Use #!/usr/bin/env compilescript as shebang and write the compiler arguments
in the second line with the prefix: //compilescript:.
The configuration file is in ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/compilescript.cfg. It will be
generated on first run.
OPTIONS
--cleanup |
Delete old cache files. |
EXAMPLES
Example script
#!/usr/bin/env compilescript
//compilescript: -Wall -pedantic -Wextra
#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
cout << "Hello world!\n";
cout << argv[1] << '\n';
