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.

Usage

Have a look at the manpage.
